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

Day 76

Sonic's P.O.V

I'm sitting in my house looking at the diary I took from Amy's couch. I haven't looked at it. I'm too ashamed. It's one thing to steal. It's another to snoop. So I won't...

I wonder what Amy's up to?...The house is so quiet Tails is hanging out with cream so it is just me home right now. I'm getting kinda hungry, that calls for chillidogs. Therefore I jump up from my couch unlock and lock the door before dashing to the market.

You know what? I miss the routine of seeing Amy in the morning. Part of me wishes I took more time just running with her rather than running off. She's different now. Not only the way she doesn't chase me. But she also doesn't hug me anymore. She dresses differently- which isn't a bad thing! She's still pretty. It's just... She feels like a different person. I feel distant yet close to her.

I come to halt once I see the market stalls. On my way to my favourite chillidog stall, I see cookie cutters. They're shaped as flowers, Amy would love them. Amy's always lived baking. Without a second thought, I'm getting rings out my pocket and asking to pay for them.

I recieve the cookie cutters happily and dash off to Amy's house. I'm glad I have a reason to go see her.

Finally reaching her house I knock on her door. Once is too little, three seems too much so I do two taps. Quiet. Maybe she's-
"Boo!"
I jump and turn and it's Amy hanging from her roof.
"You scared me!"
"Good now you know how I felt when you did that to me" she laughed.
"What are you doing?" I asked curiously.
"Well because of the storm a lot of the tiles of my house became loose. So I'm just fixing them..." she explained.
"Can I help?" I smile.
"Really? It might be a bit boring..."
"It can't be boring if I'm with you." The words had just flowed like a river from my mouth. My face flushed once realising what I had said.
She'd just smile more, "well since you're so enthusiastic of course you can help."

At least she didn't seem uncomfortable from what I said so I feel reassured. I then dash so I'm up on her roof when reaching there however my feet slip as a tile came off Amy quickly pulled me from falling. I feel my balance fall forward. Gosh she's strong... I'm on top of her now. My cheeks were already warm from earlier but now even my ears are burning. She just giggles, "You're clumsy..."
"Hey... you're the one that pulled me, doesn't that make you the clumsy one?" I smirked.
"Wha-" she said with surprise, "no that means I'm a hero now." She gasps before laughing.
"I guess I'm your fan boy then"
"I guess so." Just like that, we're both laughing. I push myself up before offering her my hand. She gently grabs it and I pull her up. Her hand fitted perfectly in mine.
"Thank you"
"No prob Ames." I responded.

I begin using the roof cement to help her put back the tiles. It's   more than half of the roof destroyed and I can't help but be surprised.
"Were you going to do it all yourself?"
"Well not all my self....Me and Sabrina Carpenter."
"Who?" I arch my eyebrow as she laughs and begins fixing the tiles on the left side of her roof.
"A singer on my Spotify."
"Oh... y'know Ames if you ever have something big like this to do, just call me... I'd come to help you instantly. Or even do it for you, how's your ribs?"
"Still really sore, to be honest but not as sore as it was when I was in the hospital..."
"What were you doing before you fell anyway?"
"Looking for anything to help me remember you..."
I frown slightly, she wouldn't want that. Especially if she wanted to forget me. It makes me sigh remembering the diary in my house. "You don't need to do that Ames, instead just be careful. I don't want you getting hurt." I say watching the back of her head as she does more tiles on her side.
She stays quiet.
"So... Have you thought where you want to go?" I questioned, referring to Manic paying for a place of her choice.
"Not yet... But..." she stopped placing the tiles down to look at me. I blush as our eyes meet, "I was thinking... Maybe we could go together?"
My heart is racing, pounding and jumping out my chest, "really what about Dexter?"
"I'd rather go with you..."
"Why's that?" I can hear the pounding of my heart now. It feels like I'm sweating... A lot. I begin rubbing my thumb on the tile I'm holding with hopes it will slow down my heart. It doesn't.
"Because it seems more fun to go with a friend," she cheerfully smiles.

Ouch. My stomach dropped upon hearing those words. Is this how Amy felt when I would think that way? Amy quickly saw my face change and asked, "are you okay?"
"Yup, great..." I fake smile however the way it comes out is sour. I quickly alter my tone, I should be thankful out of she wants to go with me, "thank you Ames..."

"You're welcome..." she looks at my side and how I'm nearly finished. "How are you nearly finished already?" She asked in shock.
I just laugh, "I'm fast."
"Still! That's impressive!" She smiled.
"I wish I could be strong like you though, that hammer of yours is really something..." I should know, when we were younger I used to feel it's impact all the time. To be honest though the more we grew up the more I think I deserved it when we got older.
"But the ability to run wherever you want? That sounds amazing..." I've finished my side so I get up to join Ames with the leftover tiles.

"It is... But I miss...Your company... I used to see you in the mornings during my runs."
"So I used to join you?" She asked looking up at me.
I just respond with a nod and she smiled, "that sounds nice..."
