Elias was sitting in a booth at a restaurant, wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses, trying to hide his identity.

"Hello sir, what can I get started for you?"

"Oh I won't be eating anything, I was just hoping to meet up with an old friend, but tell me, does Amy Rose work here?"

"The hero? Oh, I wish, it would be so cool if she did but, no, sorry, was that the old friend you were looking for?"

"Yeah, it's been years since I saw her and our last conversation didn't end so great but I heard that she worked at a place like this so I've been trying to find her.... To make amends of course"

"Oh I see, well I hope you see her soon"

"Yeah, me too" Elias soon left the restaurant but once he was outside he clenched his fists.

'This was the seventh restaurant! And I still can't find her! Damnit Damnit!'

"DAMNIT!"

Elias crouched down and had his hands gripping his hair.

'Where the hell could she be!'

Once Elias had calmed down a bit he stood back up and continued to walk down the streets of Central City.

'No matter, if I don't find you, fate will just bring us back together again.... Just like you said when we first met'

*Sixteen years ago*

It was the worst day of my life.

The day of my mother's funeral.

My mother was the kindest person I knew, she could light up any room she entered and could bring out the joy in anyone.

Now it felt like a piece of me was gone with her.

Why did she have to leave so soon?....

That was something I will never understand...

The funeral was crowded, I hated it.

I hated it because I wanted to cry, I wanted to cry so badly but I couldn't. Not in front of everyone, especially not in front of my piece of shit father. He would've said something about me being weak or not being a man or some other bullshit.

So I snuck away....

"Hey, where you going?"

"Just for a walk Sally, stay close to dad"

"But.... You can't leave.... Please don't go"

I didn't like seeing Sally cry back then, but it made sense, she was only twelve when it happened.

She's also very important to me, she's the only person who I trust, especially now.

"Hey, I won't be gone long, just don't get separated from dad and I'll take you out for ice cream, I promise"

"Okay...."

I finally left and started to walk away. I don't know where I was walking to but I just kept walking.

Until I was at a familiar place. I was at a park, the same one my mother took me to as a kid.

I walked over to a tree and sat against it, I was facing away from everyone and just hid myself in the shadow. Then I finally cried.

It was painful. My eyes started to sting but I couldn't stop crying.

The only person who actually loved me was gone....
