My first one-shot thing… (sigh) I told myself that if this was good, I would make a sequel that wasn't one-shot…
I almost forgot to say that this is not my idea... it is Celestial's... her idea is still way better than this and her story 'So I Run' is good... so if you enjoy this... read hers!

She has broken my heart one last time. The way she smiled at him, holding his hand as they watched the sunset. Now I run away from it all… the heartbreak, the hurt, and the terror of it all. Her smile just haunts me, the way it illuminated more than the sun. It showed complete happiness and love for him. Her emerald eyes shined with glee. The way she always looked at me, those jade eyes seem to seek for more. I always thought she loved me… until I've noticed she's been lurking around at night… hanging with him. He has always been my enemy… but now, I'm positive… he's my worst opponent I've faced.

And now, everything I've showed her… everything I've told her… is no more. She loves him. I once considered being friends with him. But… no… if I even get near him, it'll look as if a cry for desperation… and I can't show my weaker side… my weaker side is my love for her.

Now, I run away from this cursed place… this place that will forever remind me of my first broken heart. She was the love of my life… my one true love has forsaken me… forsaken me for him.

I saw them sit atop a hill, looking up at the moon. I didn't want to reveal myself and I just sat there, staring too. She put her head onto his shoulder… and once she had done that, a smile spread across his face. He smiled down at her and held her hand… the hand I used to hold. A small tear rolled down my cheek as I watched her say those wretched words.

"I… love you, Shadow." She had said. Her emerald eyes moved over to his crimson ones. I saw him kiss her on the forehead.

He returned the pain by saying, "I love you too…"

So now, I run… I run far away from them. As I remember her, only one thing comes in mind… the pain she had given me… the torture she put me through… I thought I had loved her… the way I talked to her before…

I always remember telling her the words that I regret saying. "Rouge, don't you love me at all?"

She looked at me with worried eyes and whispered back, "No…"

And now, I run away from her. I am the guardian of my heart and life… I will get through this as I've gotten through many other challenges… I am Knuckles and I will get through this torment.

It was bad, wasn't it? If you guys review, tell me who you thought it was! (sigh) So, should I make a (non-one-shot) sequel… or not?
