Chapter 24: Amy's Heartbroken, Sonic's True Feelings

*In Sonic's house*

Sonic was watching Beavis & Butthead on TV when the knock came at his door. He paused it, frowning slightly, wondering who would come by at such an odd time. He went over to the door and looked through the peephole. He opened the door to reveal who it was.

"Amy?" He exclaimed in surprise as he recognized her. She was smiling widely, looking very happy. Amy wore a white dress with a pink heart pattern, white glitter ballet flats, and a white bow. The color of her lipstick was pink.

"Hey, Sonic! How are you?" Amy asked him brightly.

"Oh, I'm doing great," Sonic responded awkwardly as she walked past him to enter his house.

Sonic frowned slightly, shutting the door behind them. "So, uh... what are you doing here?"

"Well, I just wanted to see how you were doing since you've been so busy lately!" Amy explained excitedly.

"I'm just watching TV right now..." Sonic said, looking away from her. "Do you want something or..?"

"No, I don't need anything," Amy told him happily. "Actually, I just wanted to talk to you about something... but if you're busy, then that's okay, too."

Sonic blinked in surprise. "Uh... what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"I want to talk about being together," Amy answered simply. "You know, like we hang out. We can be together all the time now, and we can still work out together and do stuff together."

Sonic felt himself start to blush, even though she couldn't see it. "Um, that's very nice of you, Amy..." he began nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "But I think I'll pass-"

"Oh no, Sonic! Not this time!" Amy interrupted before he could finish saying no. "I want our friends and family to know about this so they'll approve of us getting married!"

"Are you for real?! There's no way I can marry you! No one is going to want to marry someone like you!" Sonic protested angrily. "Everyone hates me, you know they do! And besides, I'd never get married! It's not possible."

"What do you mean?!" Amy asked.

"I mean ... I... I... I don't love you, Amy." Sonic finally spoke up after a long awkward silence between them. Amy gaped at him in disbelief, her expression twisting into something more confused and hurt than before. "I mean, I don't like you. I don't want to marry you. That's what I meant."

Amy's eyes swelled in tears as she started to get mad at him. "Sonic! You can't tell me that! After everything we've done, after all we've been through, you still don't feel anything for me? Is there no other explanation why you keep rejecting me!?"

"I kept rejecting you because you asked me some stupid questions and made me embarrassed about my feelings," Sonic admitted bitterly. "And you didn't want to give me any time to answer them. So I got angry and pushed you away! I thought it would make you stop asking those stupid questions, but you never did! You just kept asking until you got what you wanted, and you know damn well that your relationship means nothing to me! You were just using me! Like always! Well, I'm not falling for it anymore!"

There was a long silence between the two again as Sonic stared angrily at Amy. When he eventually broke their gaze, he saw that tears were streaming down her face. His expression softened slightly in guilt and pity, even though he knew it wouldn't change anything. He still hated himself and couldn't forgive himself for how he had treated Amy.

Sonic sighed, "Look, Amy, I'm... I'm sorry.  I really am. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. You didn't deserve it. I wish things had ended differently. But we just can't go back to how things used to be, right? I mean, that's impossible. So let's just put it behind us and forget about it. Okay?" He hugged Amy tightly, trying to comfort her. She held onto him and sobbed quietly against his shoulder. Eventually, she pulled away from him and wiped away her tears. Sonic took her hands gently in his and smiled softly. "That's better, huh?"Amy nodded in agreement, sniffling slightly. "Okay... let's just forget about it."

"Amy... there's something I need to tell you," said Sonic.

Amy looked puzzled but waited for him to continue. He sighed again and looked away from her. "I'm... I'm gay. That means I won't be kissing a girl..." Amy's mouth dropped open in shock. Sonic continued before she could reply, "I know that sounds crazy. A guy who likes guys shouldn't like girls, either. But... that's what happened. So if you ever wanna kiss another guy, just ignore me."

"No, I... I'm so happy for you," said Amy.

Sonic's face lit up in joy. "Really?"

"Of course! I mean, I know you haven't dated anyone in years, but you seemed so happy. I didn't even know you were gay until recently, but you're obviously really happy!" said Amy.

"Yeah," Sonic replied with a smile. "I really am."

"So who was it?" she asked.

"It's... It's Shadow," Sonic said. "He was my boyfriend for awhile. But I lost him recently trying to save him from falling to his death," said Sonic sadly.

Amy placed her hand to her mouth in shocked. "Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. But... Shadow? You loved him? Sonic, why didn't you tell me?" she asked him, sounding concerned.

"Because I didn't show you about my true feelings with Shadow. Since that day, we started a battle in the forest and Shadow kissed me. I couldn't get him off my mind  afterwards, and eventually I fell in love with him. That's why I tried to stay away from him, because I thought you might hate me. But I couldn't avoid it forever, and eventually I realized that I couldn't pretend anymore. I needed to tell you," said Sonic, rubbing himself in his arms self consciously.

"So that's why you loved Shadow. It wasn't just because he kissed you or saved your life, or because you fell in love with him," said Amy knowingly. "It was because he reminded you of me."

"Exactly," said Sonic, nodding with depression. "Now, I know I should have told you sooner. God, I missed Shadow so much. I missed him every day and every night. And the more time passes, the worse I feel when I think about him. I feel so sad all the time. But I have you and Tails and Knuckles now, and I don't want to ruin that," Sonic wiped his tears away as he said the last part.

"Oh, Sonic!" Amy cried, moving closer and hugging him.

Sonic returned her embrace, wrapping his arms around Amy's waist. "Thanks, Amy. For understanding. I'm glad you understand."

"Y-you're welcome, Sonic," she smiled weakly as she wiped her tears away.

Sonic sighed, "So... wanna watch Beavis and Butthead?" he asked.

Amy nodded, "I love that show. It's hilarious."

Sonic turned on the TV and started watching Beavis and Butthead together.

*Eggman's Lair*

Eggman was sitting on a chair while typing the keyboard of his computer with both hands, occasionally glancing over at the TV screen. His lips quirked into a small, sly smirk whenever he caught sight of Sonic and Amy in the picture on the screen.

"Hehehehe, time to take revenge, you pathetic little hedgehog," Eggman grinned, chuckling darkly to himself. "You've ruined everything I worked so hard for! And your precious little girlfriend, too!"

"Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Orbot. "Because last time Shadow worked for you, we almost died before crashing the Earth! The next time will probably end in disaster! Why else would we want to risk that?"

"Oh, I believe we'll survive this time, Orbot. I have a plan, and I think it'll go smoothly," smirked Eggman.

"But sir, how can you know?" asked Cubot.

"I just do," Eggman replied.

"If you say so, sir," said Orbot reluctantly.

"Just wait till you see what I'm planning. Then you'll realize that you were wrong all along," Eggman grinned evilly, twiddling his fingers.
