Please Remember me and don't forget me...

day 71

Manic's P.O.V
I messed up so bad man. I can only imagine Amy's reaction to me leaving her like that on the ball room floor. I feel so much guilt dude no one would do that - especially to a friend.

As I sit on my drum chair, wacking the drums rhythmically I'm hopeful it will give me ideas to how I will make it up to her. Seeing my bro and Sal just really boiled my blood - like I'm glad she's happy, but why doesn't she like me, I understand I'm not perfect, but I'm a nice guy.

I shake my head. That shouldn't be my priority of thinking. What does Amy like?. Uhm... Cakes? I could get her baking stuff...But she has plenty it should be something that means something... I continue playing on my drums. I'm so used to playing my drums that I play them without having to think about what to do next.

My brother has come downstairs to the basement. It's cramped, but it's good enough when there is nowhere else to practice...

I still haven't talked to him since getting Amy flowers... Which I didn't get to give her - I was so frustrated that day... I'm mad at him cause he left Sally and how he's treating her, but it's obvious to see he's mad with how I treated Amy. I sigh before placing down my drumsticks.

"Hey bro? I'm sorry, okay?... truce?" I say slowly.
He looks up, going from a serious face to relieved and walks up to me to give a hug.

"Bro, your face is so focused..." My brother laughs as he pats my back before letting go.
Laughing before realising I gasp, "Oh! Sonic! You know Amy!"
"Huh? Of course I know Amy..." He's stupid.
"I didn't mean- Dude I meant you can help me," I said through my chuckles, so much about being the fastest thing alive.
"Oh... With what?" My brother asked before picking up his blue electric guitar off it's stand placing its strap over his head, allowing it to rest on his shoulder.
"I left her at the ball... I felt sick..." I quickly lied.
"So that's why she was alone," his tone was harsh enough to cut the air and he began strumming an improvised tune. It didn't scare me, though.
"I seem to recall you forgetting a few times about your planned dates with her." I snap.
It was easy to tell I struck a nerve because I felt a glare coming from the blue hedgehog but just rolled my eyes before saying, "I need to make it up to her somehow. You know her better than I do she was your fangirl... I got her flowers but chickened out..."

He remained quiet a little while longer before breaking the tension with a sigh,
"Ames like cooking... Baking... Tea parties with Cream..."
"Something with a bit more juice dude." I interupted.
"Juice?" He wondered, puzzled by what I meant.
"You know- Specific. Something that will make it up to her."

He remained quiet. Shocking. So shocking I stop playing the drums. He's spent so much time with her over the past 2 months. Not only that she was his fangirl: She adored him, she always tried to chase after him and attempted to go on dates with him. I just assumed that meant they spent so much time together.

"She won't stay mad you know..." He explained as if from experience.
"I know that but still- Amy's nice she didn't deserve that."
"Considering after you left her she dealt with a creep I'm sure it would mean a lot to her..."
"So any ideas?"
He'd pause, " I heard she's going to hang out with Blaze for her birthday..."
"Are you suggesting we stalk them?" I can't help but laugh from his idea I then examined his face as he took the guitar off. He's not joking.
"Oh- you're serious..."
"Yup let's go?" He asked before smelling one of my green hoodies quickly returning it back to the couch with a disgusted face. He then slowly picked up my red hoodie hesitantly smelling it, must have been alright 'cause he placed it on quietly.

The couch is filled with dumped laundry from me and Sonia. We could always live in our castle but found it comfier to have our own space. We still visit of course. How could we not? I0t took us so long to get reunited with our mom.
"My hoodie is still drying from the rain outside..." he explained.

Amy's P.O.V
It's raining. I'm hanging out with my friend, Blaze. She doesn't usually enjoy celebrating her birthdays or making a big deal of it but I make sure she gets the most out of it while she can. We took a walk around earlier and all our friends gave their gifts. Thankfully we got inside the cafe before it began raining. I just hope it dries up otherwise silver's plan isn't going to be able to carried through.

I look at the time on the clock behind Blaze I'm supposed to take her out in a fifteen minutes however the rain's getting worse.

"Everyone it's time to get home there's a storm coming..."
"We should better rush home Amy... We don't want to get caught up in the storm..."

***
Sonic's p.o.v

"A storm?" I mutter to Manic.
He's wearing his white hoodie with the hood over his head, facing his back towards Amy and Blaze.

I'm doing the same with the red hoodie I'm wearing but cover my face with a newspaper.
"It's alright bro Blaze is saying they should leave..."

It's inconvenient timing. Silver isn't going to be able to propose to Blaze like this...
"Happy birthday, Blazey. Like you said, I uhm better rush home, and you get home safe too, okay?" Amy gave her a quick hug before speeding off. Why do I have a bad feeling?...

Manic's P.O.V
"I guess that's it huh?" I didn't even get to figure out how to make it up to her... I sigh once more and once I look up. Sonic's gone...

Amy's P.O.V
I can't run it hurts my ribs too much but I'm rushing as much as I can. Which still hurts. But if silver's outside, he's going to be stuck in the storm...

The wind is blowing so strong..  so much my body has to puch just to not get sways with it.

***
Good he's not here... that's a relief buy in case I text him on my phone quickly about the storm.

Snap. I look up, and the grand oak tree had given up. It's falling. If I run, it'll still hit me. I close my eyes...

Huh?... I'm safe?... I feel myself picked up and look to see Sonic? I'm still being held in his arms, and his expression looks angry. Scratch that. Worse...

Sonic's p.o.v
I'm running now taking her to Tail's house. It's the closest place near us and although I'm the fastest thing alive I'm not risking staying out in this storm. Is she stupid? What was she even thinking?

I knock on the door and Tails almost instantly opens it and pulls us in.
"Gosh it's good you two got out of that storm!" Tails exclaimed.
"Are you crazy?" I asked as I placed the careless pink hedgehog down. She responded by giving me a blank expression.
"What were you thinking?!" I shout. It's hard to hide my frustration. She looks surprised.
"I thought Silver migh-"
"You could have got killed!"
"You know you tend to be getting annoyed at me for a lot recently... I'm my own person! I can manage!"
"You can manage?! You didn't seem to be managing when that tree nearly hit you!"
"You're not being fair! I was just making sure no one was going to get hurt!"
"Well what about you?! What if you got hurt! I don't know what I would do if- if..."

She'd stay quiet. I felt her jade eyes look at me. It was like they were watching me for a while. Softly her fingertips touched mine loosely griping the side of my palm.
"I'm sorry..." she then would hug me I gently returned the hug. I felt her quills rest against my cheek they were damp but still smelt so nice.

Silently my best friend watched us.
