Peanut Butter and JELLY

The choice - Chapter 8

Tails layed in bed, he let the darkness and quiet rap him up. Sonic hadn't made a peep since last night, and Tails didn't dar stir him. Anything Tails would think about would always lead back to his choice, his decision, his... success? Or was it a failure? Tails was uncertain, but for some reason it felt so right back then. Sonic will get over it. Tails thought, but yet he was still full of guilt.

Tails lifted him self up, and walked into the kitched. He remembered walking in there and seeing Sonic and Shadow kissing. He would never see that again. Not in a million years. Unless Tails...

"Good morning, buddy." Sonic mumbled, but with a kind voice. Tails turned around to see Sonic, he had bags under his eyes.

"Sonic... Did you get any sleep last night?" Tails asked, already knowing that answer. Sonic scoffed and sat down at the table.

"Of course I did." Sonic answered with drowse. Tails sat down at the other end where Shadow normally sat.

"Are you ok?" Tails asked.

"Yes! Why wouldn't I be?!" Sonic snapped. "Sorry... I shouldn't take it out on you."

"I-It's ok." Tails studdered with shock, he had never heard Sonic get angry at him. Sonic laughed a bit.

"Guess you were right, Shadow was always up to something." Sonic smiled, though he was clearly holding back tears. "Weird though, he said he was only interested in guys. Guess he lied about that too."

"Sonic..." Tails started, but couldn't finish. Would he be mad if I told him? He thought.

"Sorry... You shouldn't have to deal with this." Sonic stated softly. He stood up and walked back to his room. The rest of the house was in complete silence. He isn't even running. What is he doing in there? Tails thought.

For the next 3 days, Sonic hardly ever came out. He just ate, slighty talked, and went into his room. Shadow stopped by a few times to explain what happened, but Sonic would just slam the door. Everyday he looked more and more tired, he got skinnier too. You can almost count his bones. Sometimes when Tails was in his bed, you can here Sonic cry. These days were tough, worse then anything. Sonic being his role-model, but now is just scary.

It was one late afternoon, Sonic had just gone into his room. Tails had been thinking and worked up his nerve. He never though he would be doing this, but it was time to tell Sonic the truth. He was done being the reason Sonic was like this. He took a deap breath.

And opened Sonic's door.
