Chapter 2

The doctor arrives soon after the call to check out Sonic. "Well, he seems in stable condition. Depression, headaches, mood changes are all symptoms of exhaustion. Let him sleep and make sure he drinks a lot of water," the doctor explained to Tails as he got up to leave.

"So, he'll be okay?" Tails asked, anxiously.

"Yes, Tails. Sonic will be fine," the doctor reassured before saying his farewells and heading out the door. Tails stared at his older brother. It was unnatural for the young fox to see Sonic so motionless. It sent shivers down Tails' spine.... when would he wake up? The yellow kitsune had too many questions.

After what seemed like forever, Sonic stirred. "Sonic?!" Tails burst out as he noticed his friend up.

Sonic's P.O.V.

My eyes flicker open as my eyes adjust to the light. First thing I hear is Tails call out my name, which makes me bolt up. Looking around frantically, my eyes finally fix on Tails. Who is sitting on the ground next to me. And, it looks like he's... crying? It takes me a moment to realize what happened. Did he really come out yesterday? Could he be the cause of my headaches and odd behaviour?

To cheer him up, I say, playfully, "Dude, I'm still alive... right?! " And then, I felt all around myself as if to check if i was solid, or still there. This made Tails laugh, which made me smile, but inside i was scared. Scared of what I knew, and he didn't...

Tails P.O.V.

I laughed at Sonic's joke. He always knew how to make me laugh. My laugh ultimately extinguished, though, when I saw the drastic change in Sonic's expression. He just froze there, as if in a trance. A hint of fear and sadness was evident on his face. He stared to nowhere, and his eye colour kept flickering from emerald to crimson.  

It freaked me out, so I try to get his attention. "Sonic?"

"What?! Oh, yeah Buddy?" he replied, snapping out of his daydreaming.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah! Totally fine," he quickly replies with a quic, but forced smile. Then, Sonic got up and walked toward the stairs. I wanted to follow him, but figured he wanted to be alone. So, I left him to himself. I hear his bedroom door close loudly. Soon after, I start  to hear the expected yelling.

Usually, I've been hearing Sonic yell at himself. Maybe to that mirror that hangs atop his dresser. I don't understand most of the things he says, but it's like..... there's another person there with him. But the only response i ever hear him get is from himself. Something is seriously wrong with him, but I don't want to stress him out too much with my questions... I wish I could help him. Why won't he let me?!
