Silver's Diary

by Haruhi Clause

Shadow finds Silver's diary opened on his bed and begins to read it. As he reads the diary, he discovers that Silver has done many horrible things to save and please his girlfriend, Rouge; even if it meant blaming and stealing from Blaze.

3. I tell her

So I walked down the sidewalk with Silver's diary in my hand. So many things I am thinking about... really hurts. Should I do this or should I not do this? Silver's gonna kill me once he finds out that I was reading his diary in the first place. But this isn't like him at all. Before he met that girl, he was very loyal to the rules, like I was. Now he's become a pleaser and a very naive one to boot. What happened to him? The Silver I used to know. My best friend. He's the one that's helped me out... alot. Now, he treats me differently. Like I am mentally retarded. And he even pokes fun at my weight. So all and all, I am doing the right thing.

So I end up at Blaze's front door. I ring the bell and wait for her to come out. Again, I second-guessed myself. Should I or should I not? Yes, I must! I want my friend back. A few minutes pass by and Blaze opens the door. "Hey, Shadow, I didn't expect you to be here... by yourself" she said. "Well, there's something I want to tell you... and it's something you've been wanting to know" I explained. Then she look up and said "Hmm... really? Come on in". So I went inside the house and sat on the couch while Blaze sat in the rocking chair.

"Okay, Shadow, what do you want to tell me?" she asked. I pulled out Silver's diary and began to talk: "Well, do you remember that night when Rouge stole something from the jewelry store and you tried to stop her. And then the police arrested you because they thought you were the thief?". Blaze looked at me very weird. "Uhh, yeah? Do you know why they arrested me?" she asked defensively. "Yeah, I do know. How do I put this?... Okay, I'll say it: Silver said you did it to protect his girlfriend" I said. Blaze then looked at me and then laughed. I knew she was gonna do that. "Shadow, Silver would never do anything to hurt me. He's my friend" she giggled. With a confident look I said "Well.. if you don't believe me, I have proof to back up what I am saying". I pulled out Silver's diary. "Here, look on page 6. He said it in his own writing".

Blaze reads the page. After she is done reading, she looks up in a state a shock. Like if she was gonna faint. "I.. I.. I can't believe this. Why would Silver do this to me? I've been locked for a crime that I never even committed. Why? Why? WHY??" she complained. She broke down and cried. At this point, I feel guilty. I never wanted to upset anyone, just do the right thing. Is this the right thing? Should I tell her about the emerald?
