Hey, guys. fanfiction9821 here bringing you a new story that could be considered an expansion of one of my other stories. It's called Matters of the Heart. This is a Sonouge/Shadaze story that is an expansion of Heartbroken. In the story, Rouge catches Shadow cheating on her with Blaze. She tells Sonic and starts to ponder the possibility she's developing feelings for Sonic. But what happens when Shadow won't stop bothering Rouge? Loads of drama, that's what.


Rouge's POV

I was walking over to Shadow's place to meet up with him. We were dating for what seemed like eternity. We were inseparable to the point you wouldn't see one of us without the other. I walked up to his door to see it was already open. I walked in and looked around for Shadow. "Shadow, where are you," I asked. I then heard moaning coming from upstairs. I went up the steps, opened the door, and looked inside. I was shocked by what I saw: Shadow and Blaze in the same bed. "Shadow," I cried. "Oh, Rouge. I didn't see you there," Shadow said. "What were you doing," I asked. "Nothing," Blaze said, covering herself with the sheets. "Doesn't look like nothing," I replied. "Look, Rouge. I can explain," Shadow said. "Don't bother. I don't wanna hear it. We are so done," I said. "Rouge, wait," Shadow said, grabbing my wrist. "Let go. I don't wanna be near you," I said, pulling my arm back. I left the room and was headed out the door when Shadow stopped me. "Please, Rouge. Just hear me out," Shadow said. I then kicked Shadow on the side of his face. "Forget it. I don't want to hear it, I said. Leave me alone," I said before running out of the house.


Sonic's POV

I was watching Final Destination when my cell phone started ringing. I checked to see who was calling and saw Rouge's name. "Rouge, what's going on," I asked. "Shadow cheated on me," she replied. "What? Why would he do that," I asked. "I'm not sure. It's like a fanfiction author wanted to split up Shadow and I," Rouge replied. "That's bad," I said. "That's not even the worse of it," she said. "What are you talking about," I asked. "He was cheating on me with your girlfriend," Rouge replied. "What? Why would Blaze do that," I asked. "I'm not sure. It's like that same author believes in Shadow and Blaze being together," she said. "Calm down, Rouge. If you need a place to stay, I'm open," I said. "What are you talking about," she asked. "Did Shadow want you to listen to what he had to say," I asked back. "He did. I wouldn't hear it and I kicked him in the face when he blocked my way," she replied. "Well, Shadow won't stop 'till you're his again. He'll stop at your place, call you, and text you," I said. "You're right. How do you know this," she asked. "I'm not sure. I just feel like it's happened to me before. Like some other fanfiction author wrote a story about a girl not wanting to leave me alone," I replied. "Okay, I'll be right over," Rouge said before hanging up. "I'll help you through this, Rouge. I promise," I said to myself before turning my attention back to the movie.
