*I was listening to this while writing this, and my heart was hurting!*

His eyes were glistening with tears, his emerald eyes shining in the dark room. His voice sounded dark, but comforting at the same time. "Aileana. You are not a badnik. You are not that man's object. You are a person, a beautiful, amazing, breathtaking person. I would give my life for you, and nothing will change that. Not Robotnik taking over you, not you saying you're a badnik, nothing." He leaned close to my face, our lips close, his face a light. "I love you Aileana..." He gently leaned in, our lips connecting.

(Aileana POV)

My eyes were wide, my face bright red. His eyes were closed, but tears were still escaping. I slowly sank into the kiss. My mind was racing, my heart thumping and my face burning. He pulled me further into the kiss, and I let him, kissing him back. His hand went behind my back, pulling me closer, and his other hand went behind my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck gently, and we both kept kissing. I never wanted this to end.

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. Sonic slowly pulled away, looking me in the eyes. He still had tears falling down his face, but he smiled. I was crying now too, but I returned the smile. He caressed my face gently, wiping my tears with his thumb. I leaned into his touch, not wanting him to let go. He pulled me into a soft and gentle embrace, making my head lay on his chest. 

"Aileana...," he said quietly, "never forget how much I love you... no matter where you are... no matter what you look like.. no matter what you do... I will always love you..." His grip on me tightened. "....I love you too Sonic...."

She said it. She said it back. I held her closer, more tears escaping. They were happy tears, mostly. But some were sadness from what she had told me. "I'm a badnik...!" That one sentence floated around my mind. It broke my heart, knowing she thinks she belongs to that man. Her head was resting on my chest, her need for comfort being filled. I'll make sure she never feels like that again, for as long as I live.

I didn't want to, but I had to let go of her. I could sense her disappointment. I looked down at her and smiled. "Tails is waiting to see you." She looked scared as I mentioned Tails. "Aileana... you don't need to be scared of hurting him.." "But what if I do...? I nearly killed him Sonic... and I couldn't stop it..." She hugged herself. I gently held her hands, looking her in the eyes. "We both won't let it happen again..." She smiled a little, sighed, then stood up. "Okay..." She held her hand to help me up.

I smiled, taking it and standing up. I didn't let go. And neither did she. We looked at each other and smiled. I led her out the door and down the hall. Her grip on my hand was tightening. I gently squeezed her hand, letting her know it was okay. She smiled, and continued walking with me. We reached the lounge, where I had left Tails. Everyone else was hanging out in there too, and turned to us when they noticed I brought Aileana.

She coward away from them, looking at the ground. I gave her a sympathetic look, but continued to lead her to Tails. He was talking to Sally and Rotor, then saw me and Aileana and smiled wide. "Aileana!" He said excitedly. He tried to stand up, but nearly fell. Rotor allowed him to lean against him as he walked to us. "I'm so glad you're okay Aileana!" He hugged her, causing Aileana to jump. She hugged him back and started to cry.

"Tails.. I am so sorry for what I did to you... I didn't want to..." Tails looked at her. "You didn't do that to me... Robotnik did.. you have nothing to be sorry for.. As long as you're okay, everything is fine.." He hugged her again, and she immediately hugged him back. I smiled at Rotor, giving him a bro fist.

*Sorry for the short chapter! But I feel that the end of the book is near! Maybe 5, 6 chapters left guys!*
