SonAmy Boom: 5 Days

Chapter - 6

•Amy POV•

Sonic was magnificent, just sitting there in front of me. I wanted so desperately to hug him, hold his hand, something, but I knew I couldn't. It still hurt too much, plus, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to.

He had... almost 3 days left to live. How much would I allow him to hurt me? I looked up at him, his smile made me melt. It was hard to stay mad at him. Especially since he's done all this for me.
"Sonic, I want to thank you for taking me out. I really wasn't expecting this." I fought the tears forming in my eyes. "Damn it, my make up is going to smear." I thought and dabbed lightly beneath my eyes. "Ames? Are you-"
"I just don't know h-how to handle all this. I'm s-sorry..."

Sonic placed his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, it's going to be okay. Let's get you home, alright?" I nodded, I couldn't dare look into his eyes. His eyes were always full of life, it was scary to think that I would never be seeing them again.

Sonic ran me home and dropped me off at the doorstep. "Ames, don't let me see you crying again, okay?" He said, wiping a tear away from my cheek. I let out a shaky breath. I'd never be able to feel him again. "Amy... I don't want to hurt you." He started to say. "But, you have to know... I really do love you".

Shit.

I couldn't hold back my tears and ran back to his arms, sobbing. "I'm sorry..." He said gently. "I'm so sorry... I know I shouldn't have said it... I just don't want-"

"It's okay, it's okay, really, I'm fine." I sniffed, trying to wipe away the tears that were still falling. Sonic stared at me for a few seconds, searching my eyes. Then he wrapped me up in an embrace. He held me in his arms. If this were a different circumstance, I'd be squealing in delight.

Sonic stroked my back, and then did something unexpected. He kissed my cheek and then pulled back to look at me. "Amy, I'm really sorry that... That my confession was wrongly timed. I don't want to die without you knowing that you are loved." He gave a gentle smile and released me.

"I think you're amazing, Amy. You're so talented and strong. You're one of the smartest people I know. If I could, I'd grow old with you, I'd make all your dreams come true. I'd do anything for you. I love you so so much, Ames." Sonic gave me another kiss, this time, on the lips. "Thank you for coming on this date." Sonic held my hand for a brief second before dashing away.

"I really did it, I actually kissed her!" I was so happy and scared all at the same time. I probably just sealed my doom, I'll probably never see her again. She'll be so mad at me because I confessed my love and kissed her. She's been so scared of me hurting her. "Oh God, what've I done?" I asked myself, skidded to a halt.

I turned around to see that her lights were still on. "Should I go back? Maybe..." I really wanted to run back to her, to hold her, kiss her, something. But I was too scared of what her reaction would be. "I'm so sorry, Ames."

I rubbed my hands through my quills and sighed. Everything was so stressful and complicated. "What am I supposed to do?" I whispered to myself, more confused than I ever had been. I guessed the best thing to do would be go home and sleep. Once I woke up, I'd have two days left to live. Only two days left.

Life really is short.

On my way home, however, I saw Tails' house and stopped by there. Tails answered the door with a teary eyed smile. "Hey, Sonic! H-How's it going?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"It's been good, I just confessed to Amy, again, and kissed her."

"Really? That's great! You want to come in and tell me about it?"

I smiled and nodded, "of course, buddy!" I said, Tails seemed to wince at that. "Not him too..." I thought, mentally groaning.
"Tails, can I be serious for a second?"

"Of course." He said, "but first, do you want some tea?" He offered me. "Sure, I'll take a cup." I told him as he poured the tea. "Hear you go, now chat away." He said, handing me a cup.

"I... Understand why you guys are upset, but I'm trying to live normally until I... you know. I don't want to see you guys crying-"

"It's hard, Sonic." Tails interrupted him. "It's hard imagining you won't be here, you won't ever sit in this chair, I won't ever hear your voice again. It's like going to sleep and waking up the next day feeling empty." He looked up at me and pat my shoulder.

"Sticks, Knuckles, Amy, and myself are all going through this. We've all followed you and grown with you. How are we supposed to just give you up? I'll never hear you call me 'buddy' again. Amy won't hear you call her 'Ames' ever again, she won't even get to feel another kiss."

I didn't know how to respond to this. He sounded so mature and serious. He was saying the truth, and sometimes the truth is hard to respond to. "I understand, Tails. I'm sorry, I was being selfish."

"No, you were just thinking of yourself." Tails chuckled and stood up. "Are you staying the night?" He asked me.

I hesitated before answering. "Do you mind if I do?"

He shook his head and smiled at me. "Not at all, buddy."
