Shadow's Point of View
Wow. It's been almost a week since the random shoot out and thankfully Amy wasn't hurt, my promise is still intact. A lot has happened since then and now I've temporally moved out, but so have all of us.
Our parents, my mother and her father, have gone to stay with friends from work while the damage is being repaired. It shouldn't take that long but for the first few days the police were gathering clues, hoping to catch the shooter. We haven't heard any news from them yet though, I'm not even sure if we will.
But what about me? Where am I staying? Well my apartment was finally available for me to move into and just as I hoped, I got my wish. Staying here in the same building, the same apartment is none other than Amy Rose. A.K.A my little step sister.
Now if someone had asked me a about a month ago if I wanted to share an apartment with her, the answer would have been a resounding no. But things change and so do people.
Amy's Point of View
Shadow. I'm staying in the same accommodation as Shadow! What can I say? I never expected that... I mean when we were told that we'd have to find somewhere to stay, well Shadow wasn't exactly the first person on my list. I thought I'd have to stay with Cream and Vanilla or one of my Dad's friends but Shadow?
Not that I'm complaining. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all.
But tomorrow should be fun when I've got to get dropped off by Shadow. Sonic already suspects something, even thought there isn't anything to suspect, yet...
We've been getting on okay lately, maybe he's finally accepted that I'm almost a grown up and that I can act mature. Or maybe I've actually grow up, either way it's working.
But the window will be fixed soon and I don't know what will happen then. I don't know if he'll come back to my dad's house or if he'll stay here. I want to ask him but I'm kind of scared it'll break the spell of 'good luck'.
Shadow's Point of View
I'm not sure what I'll do once her father's house is repaired. I could go back there but I don't really want to share a house with Amy and our parents. It's not our parents that are the problem though. It's her; I don't want to have to share her... I want her to stay here but I can't just ask her, that'll be to suspicious.
Amy's Point of View
I hope Shadow doesn't move back into our house with us. I know that sounds selfish but I don't want him to share a house with my dad and his mum. I want him all to myself, as wrong as that is to think. However, if it was a choice between sharing him or him staying here alone... I'd definitely choose sharing him.
Oh god, what am I even thinking? He's my step brother! Are these thoughts even legal?
Surely just thinking about him in that way can't cause any damage! I mean it's not like anything is actually happening. I wouldn't even know where to begin with Shadow. He's so different from everyone else. And especially Sonic... I mean gosh, those two couldn't have been more different than each other but yet I've liked them both. I still like one of them.
Maybe I should tell him, I think I should but actually telling him would be so hard and not to mention awkward. Furthermore I don't want to damage the relationship we've managed to build up.
For example, during that incident when I was sandwiched between him and the floor... I never thought he would have done that. Protected me by covering my delicate body with his, own muscular one... What else could I have been on about? Possibly that dream...
Now that dream must have been illegal in more than one way! But it'll never happen, he's my brother... My step brother...
Shadow's Point of View
Hmmm I wonder when Rouge will get in contact...
The phone interrupts my thoughts as I yell for Amy.
"Amy, phone! Please don't spend all night talking to, what's here name, oh yeah, Cream."
I rarely ever get phone calls especially on this phone line; no one knows it except from our parents and a few of Amy's friends. One with big bunny ears and who's extra polite, she takes polite to a whole new level, that's Cream. Then there's Tails, the one with two tails, hence the name. Boy is he smart; he could probably even get a job now. Then there's the blue one, Sonic. I don't know what it is but there is something about him that I can't figure out... But he must be okay if Amy likes him.
Finally the ringing stops as it's answered by Amy.
Silence on here end until, "Oh hi, yeah I'll put him on now."
She hands it over to me and says, "It's for you. Rouge."
Rouge? How did she get this number and why is she calling it. I mean she could just call my mobile it would have been so much more likely that I would have answered.
"Rouge? How did you get my number?... Ha, I should of guessed... Yeah trust you to play 'bad' cop and get the file on me and therefore gaining my number... What Knuckles? Somehow I find it hard to picture him as the 'good' cop... What? Oh this Friday night, urm yeah I think that fine. I'll ring you back later to confirm. Okay, take care... I'm not getting soppy on you, if you'd listen to the rest of my sentence. Take care of Knuckles for me...Bye!"
I hung up on her, chuckling to myself. It's been a long time since I've properly joked like that. Ever since the spilt, I've been sort of down. It's hard to go through something like that and because I'm older it's as if they expect me to just accept it and for that reason I just get on with it.
But now I've met her, I'm beginning to have fun. Maybe that's why I disliked her at first, teased her calling her a 'kid'. Because I never really experienced anything like that, after all it's hard to grow up in a house hold that is constantly fighting.
But more about the positive stuff. Rouge and Knuckles are holding their get together on Friday night and I'm thinking about taking Amy, possibly as a date...
