Symbiosis: Chapter One

Parasitism

He was there. Always getting under her skin; into her bloodstream. Always doing something dumb and foolish, and then turning tables over to say the words she yearned for.

And she couldn't say anything bad about it to his face. She never could do anything but confess her love for him, and when he ran away all she did was wait for his return. She loved the parasite that plagued her. Until...

"Sonic! I don't ever want to see your stupid face again! NEVER!" Tears streamed down her face and bitterness filled her throat. She felt too weak to swat with her hammer, so she only screamed him away.

He ran, with a twisted expression of fear and sorrow. Whether it was genuine or not, she didn't care.

She collapsed on her sofa when he left, sobbing uncontrollably.

Why? Why did he have to cheat on her like that? Like all of a sudden, she didn't matter? She finally screamed her anger out, her voice hoarse and dry.

Her jade green eyes went dark. This was the last time she would allow it. With force and anger, she rubbed her eyes dry, and stood.

"If you want to go be with her, fine! I'm old enough to be on my own!" She screamed, mostly to air, but she hoped he could hear her through the distance.

"Oh, I'm so sorry that happened to you, hon," Rouge sympathized, setting another glass of wine onto the dark wood table.

Amy merely huffed. "Yeah….I thought he was a big deal, but now," she stabbed the meat with her fork. "I don't see why I ever needed him." She wore an angry expression for several moments, before letting the tension drop. She shook the hair out of her face, sighing.

"So….How about you and Shadow?"

Rouge laughed at that. "Hun, you know we aren't really like that…."

The conversation went on, and neared its end with a surprise suggestion.

"You should hang out with me and Shadow, sometime. You know, be part of our crew," Rouge said. Amy was shocked by the offer…. Her and Rouge (and maybe Shadow), all hanging out? She tried and failed to picture it.

She smirked. "I'd love to."

Sonic stared at the clock, once again knocked in a daydream.

His new girl sighed. "Sonic, try to be happy, ok? Little girls like her shouldn't even have boyfriends. She's fine. Now, are you going to waste time on her?...Or have some fun with me?"

Sonic shook his head and smiled. "You're right. Let's go party!" His girl whooped and high-fived him. "Good boy. Come on!"

She ran out of the door, onto the patio. Sonic paused, shrugged, and left.

A/N: Thank you, as always. Reviews are appreciated.
