I'm gonna backtrack a bit, and start before the time of the pervious chapter. This will probably turn into a love triangle, just letting you know that ahead of time. I also like the amount of reviews I have gotten despite the fact that I only had written one chappie. Keep up the reviews though, it makes me happy to write. So here's chapter 2. Oh and italics are speaking, I dunno, I always do that to differentiate the quoting. And with all the back and forth povs, I try not to do it, but it ends up that it happens anyway, so sorry if I go back and forth.

Chapter 2

(Shadow's pov)

I awoke to a noisy radio broadcast of the weather, around 55 degrees with downpours at times. I guess it was kinda usual for late march I suppose. But I wasn't really a springtime person, most people say, or women especially, that I look much sharper and handsome around snow, or during winter. I myself too think that, which made winter into my favorite of the four seasons.

But I hated spring, and rain in that matter, rain.

All the more reasons I didn't like Mondays.

The average person would have to depressingly go back to work on Mondays, never to look forward to the week ahead. I didn't have a job, so it didn't really apply to be what day it was. I still didn't like Mondays, for the fact that people just were gloomier on Mondays, and that was without rain. I received money from the Station Square government, mostly for the few times I had helped faker save the world.

He thought that he finally got all my respect, only that wasn't even close to the right info. I only gained a small amount for the fact that he didn't act as reckless as he used to. But he still did, and I still wasn't a fan of the whole Sonic is a hero bullshit.

I took a glance at the clock next to me, it read a digital 9:16a.m. I never sleep this late, although I have been arising later than the 6:00 I was accustom to. I blamed the balmy weather for my laziness.

I tossed the covers to one side of my bed, I had a whole mattress set of black and purple sheets, pillowcases, and a comforter, all kudos went to Rose, and she had gotten me the set as a Christmas present. I had to admit though I had slept better ever since she had gotten them, they were quite comfortable.

She and I had gotten to know one another a lot better over the years. When she was 12 and 13, every time she saw me, instantly there would be a fear factor, something that didn't really make me too pleased. Then that day that I went and saved Sonic from gunfire, that she finally understood that I wasn't mean. Now we were just like best friends, and we had full trust in one another. I even helped her with her Sonic love problems, and convinced the annoying blue blur to let her have a date, well one at least.

I strolled to my bathroom, annoyed at how cold the floor was, I had turned the heat of the apartment up last night, so there was no reason it was this cold. I stepped into the tub, and turned on the hot, letting warm water flow through my ruffled quills and fur, woke me up nicely.

After my nice short shower, I exited the bathroom, towel around my waist and slipped on a robe, a dark green one I bought last year. I walked to my living room to the surprise of a note lying in front of my door.

I snatched it up, and skimmed it rather quickly to realize that they were gonna have to turn off the heat all day for maintenance. That's why my apartment was so chilly, damn stupid workers had to come and fix it on a cold rainy day.

Now a bit annoyed, I flipped on the small TV in the kitchen and pour myself a fresh cup of coffee that I had put on before my shower using a remote. Yes, I had a remote control coffee machine that I could turn on from my bedroom, pretty cool. I added a spoon of sugar as well as a dollop of cream, and sat down to watch the news. Nothing special happened according to it, just some homeless murder, and some sports, I was happy the baseball was starting soon.

As I sat in my kitchen, my mind just began to wander off. I began thinking about Blaze. We had met not too long ago and I had found something inside her that I never had seen in anybody in my entire life, love.

My life hasn't, well, been the best in the world. I lost the first best friend I had. I was created by an evil world domination upsessed doctor, and then suffered amnesia and forgot it all. Not that great huh?

But when I saw her, it's as if my whole life was somehow reopened to me, and showed me a whole new aspect of life I had never witnessed nor felt.

This I found out… was love.

I was the type that would not get nervous under any circumstances. But when I approached her or even tried to have a regular conversation with her, I would start to get, well, nervous. I'd sweat, and be at a loss for words.

When it first happened, I went to the one person I knew who could tell me what was wrong, Rouge. She didn't believe be at first when I told her, but as I began to explain, she understood that I had never experienced love. She described it just like I was experiencing. And to think that I wasn't suppose to have feelings.

I snapped out of my thinking to just notice that it was already 10:15a.m. How long had I been sitting here?

I decided to try and go pay Blaze a visit, and see if there was any way of telling if she had feelings for me or not. It's just been bugging me.

I switched off the television which was now on some kinda of soap opera, I hated those kinds of things. I remember about a year ago, I had lost some sort of bet with her, and what she wanted me to do is spend 2 whole hours watching soap operas with her. I swear to god I wanted to claw my eyes out after only 15 minutes.

Placing the mug in the sink, I glimpsed at my calendar on the fridge, nothing I had to do today, so I had the whole day free to myself.

I grabbed a dark leather coat on my couch that had a hood, remember it was raining, and headed out to Tails place. Well that's suppose to be where I would meet her, since that's were the portal is.

I wasn't a huge spring fever person, but I could start to hint that some trees were budding, and even a few had pretty full trees.

It was rather chilly outside, there was a pretty strong breeze outside, and I guess I didn't even notice it when it was mentioned on the news. Even with the zipped up jacket I still was really cold, but it didn't really bother me.

Blaze entered my mind again as I walked out of the woods, I swear that I couldn't do anything now without her popping up in my mind.

As I was nearing a clearing of the woods, I witnessed faker talking to somebody, and it was my love. I didn't know she was coming so early. Blaze wore her signature purple dress and had the red headband like always. However, her eyes looked different, like more loving, and so were fakers.

Then it hit me what was up.

They, they were in love with one another. That evil fucken S.O.B. or a hedgehog was stealing my one shot of true happiness, my one and first love away from me.

No, I couldn't let that happen, not again after losing Maria was it going to happen again.

I had been hiding in some high shrubs where I could listen unnoticed by either of them. Apparently from listening to their conversation, she had lost her bracelet and they had split up to look for it.

I didn't trust Sonic at all now, especially with my Blaze. I decided to settle with one option, to get her as far away from him as possible.

So silently did I walk, that a one mile radius could hear if one of us coughed. I had learned how to be perfectly quiet from when I worked with GUN, which I quit awhile ago.

Carefully I walked the same direction Blaze was walking in, I was sure I would meet her face to face in a second or two.

I knew I had to be fast, any noise I made would be heard by Sonic, and he would really flare his temper if he noticed or knew what I was attempting to do.

Then I saw the light violet cat, digging through the grass looking for her bracelet that she had misplaced.

I had to be very, extremely quick.

I gilded within a second over to her, and scooped her into my arms. I had her mouth securely covered, so no screaming or shouting would be heard. Then using an emerald that I had carried along with me, I teleported us away from the area, and back to my place.

I put her on the couch, only for her to arise right onto her feet, and begin to confront me. Man was she angry.

"SHADOW!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!?" She screamed at me, now her hands as well as the rest of your body were on fire.

"Trying to help you, that's what!" I answered back, still keeping a level head.

She was still flaming, only not as huge and hot as beforehand. "So grabbing me from Sonic and taking me here is helping me?! Wow, what kind of help are you hinting at?"

I was getting annoyed trying not to tell her how I felt.

"I, I don't know."

"What, are you some sort of stalker or something?!!" She asked me angrily.

"No, it's just that…"

"Just what? You like to kidnap people?!! Huh?"

"It's that I don't want you to be with Sonic!!!!" I blurted out loudly. Blaze had stopped flaming, and just was standing there kind of shocked at what I just had told her.

"What are you trying to say? Shadow do you…"

"Yes!!! I love you!!!"

She stared at me wide-eyed, as if she had seen me for the first time.

"You mean that don't you?"

"Of course!!! And you love me back, right?"

"Umm, Shadow? Not trying to hurt you in anyway, but I am in love with another person, and I got to go, okay," she hesitantly said, creeping towards the door ever so slowly.

I however noticed this, and walked, stopping at my front door, making sure she didn't leave.

"You're not going anywhere my love."

Another cliffy!!! The whole chapter was based off the ending of last chapter. First chappie I had done in awhile where I only used one pov. Yay for me, and please review. Sorry it took soo long. School and a bowling team take up quite a bit of time ya know XD.
