Like being in heaven
Chapter 7.
Mephiles was going through his mail as he was reading one by one. He then stumbled on a page of the newspaper and spotted Shadow on his motorcycle with a pink hedgehog behind him. He groaned and stomped over Shadow. Shadow was eating an apple at the time and he looked up to Mephiles.
"Whut?" Shadow said mouthful. Mephiles took the newspaper page and shoved it in Shadow's face. Shadow let out a MMMM sound as he took it off his face. He looked at it and smiled seeing it was him and Amy.
"Shadow can you stop doing all this nonsense! For once in your life do something useful!" Mephiles shouted. Shadow swallowed his piece of apple in his mouth. He quickly got up and flashed the middle finger to Mephiles making him roll his eyes and go back to his desk. Shadow walked over to the house phone and called Knuckles.
"Knuckles! Will you help me on something?" Shadow asked as he waited Knuckles to answer.
"Ugh...what now Shadow?" Knuckles said with a sigh.
"Just help me and I'll pay you."
"Alright. Where can I find you?"
"Shadow man, you have to lay off the cookies!" Knuckles said with a grunt. Shadow kicked Knuckles on the head.
"Come on! Aren't you the 'strongest' member in our group?"
Knuckles growled as he put all his strength and threw Shadow into the room. Shadow looked around and was surprised at how much pink it is filled with.
"That's Amy alright..." Shadow said as he grinned. "Knuckles pass me the photo and tape!"
Knuckles threw Shadow the things he wanted and hid behind the bushes. Shadow took the tape and stuck it on the photo's back side. He then looked on the ceiling and quickly put the photo on and secured it with more tape. Shadow ran out the window and climbed on the tree.
"Psst, Knuckles. I'm done.." Shadow whispered loud enough so Knuckles can here. Knuckles nodded and ran to the side-walk and walked normally. Shadow slowly got off the tree and ran towards Knuckles. The two friends laughed and made their way to the school.
"Amy are you sure about this?" Rouge said as they stopped a few feet away from the school's entrance. Amy nodded and smiled.
"It's okay Rouge." Amy said as she hugged her bat friend. "Can you pass me the homework too? I still want my A's."
Rouge laughed and nodded. The two friends hugged once more as they heard a motorcycle come.
"Oh! It's Shadow! I gotta go. I'll see you later Rouge!" Amy said as she ran towards Shadow. Shadow smiled as Amy got on his motorcycle. The pink hedgehog blew Rouge kisses and waved. Rouge chuckled and waved good-bye.
"Let's go Shadow."
Shadow nodded and drove off away from the school. Amy rested her head and wondered where they were going.
"Shadow we are we going?" Asked Amy.
"To the beach." Said Shadow. Amy gasped and started to squeal. Shadow grinned. "Why are you so excited?"
"I've never been to the beach. My parents never let me go."
"Tsk tsk tsk. se they still see you as a baby, am I right?" Shadow said with a low voice. Amy didn't say anything until a couple of seconds later.
"I'm tired of them.." Amy said as she rested her head once again on Shadow's back. "especially my mom, she still sees me like a little child..."
Shadow was silent and so was Amy. Shadow parked his motorcycle and got off. He helped Amy off and they walked on the beach.
"Oh my god...!" Amy said as she admired the beautiful view of the ocean. She ran towards the water and took off her shoes and socks leaving her barefoot. Shadow chuckled as he sat down on some grass and watched Amy and she played in the water.
"Shadow! Come!" Amy yelled as she waved her hand so Shadow can see her. Shadow saw and gently layed back down. Amy frowned and made her way towards Shadow. Shadow looked at Amy and saw her tug on his arm. "Come...On!"
"You sure know how to annoy the crap out of me." Shadow said as he was resting down on the grass. Amy rolled her eyes and shook Shadow.
"Come onnnn..!" Amy whined as Shadow groaned. "You're the one who brought us here! Now enjoy it!"
As Amy continued to shake his shoulders he rapidly got Amy and pinned her on the grass.
"Want me to enjoy it? I'll enjoy it." Shadow said as Amy gulped. She closed her eyes tight as Shadow pulled Amy closer to him.
"Sh-Shadow...SHADOW!"
Shadow took Amy and threw her on his shoulders as he walked to the ocean. Amy started to kick and hit his back but it was no use.
"Shadow stop! What are you going to do?!"
Shadow without response threw Amy into the water as he laughed. Amy popped up into the surface and frowned. Shadow smirked and made his way to the grass. Amy got out of the water and ran over to Shadow. She pulled him by the arm and threw him into the water. Shadow widened his eyes not believing what just happened.
"I thought you were weaker..." Shadow said as Amy went in the water with him. Amy made a fake laugh as Shadow smiled. Amy was swimming freely under the ocean's water, attempting to touch some fish but failing. Shadow got out of the water and made his way to the grass. He layed down on the grass and waited to dry off. Amy rolled her eyes and kept swimming. An hour passes as Amy was enjoying herself in the water. Shadow had completely dried off and was still laying on the grass enjoying the breeze that was hitting his face. Amy soon got out of the water and layed down next to Shadow.
"Why aren't you in the water?" Shadow asked. Amy shrugged.
"I don't know. I guess It's not fun without you." Amy said as Shadow smirked. "And from boredom, I collected these seashells."
Amy sat up and showed Shadow the seashells. Shadow looked at them and gently layed back down.
"They're nice."
Amy nodded and layed back down with Shadow. There was a silence between them but it didn't bug Amy since she was looking at the sky. Shadow turned his head to look at Amy. He noticed that she wasn't in her usual mood and her face had no expression at all. It wasn't the usual Amy he knew.
"Amy..." Amy turned her head to face Shadow. "What's wrong?"
Amy looked away and continued looking at the sky. "What do you mean?"
"...Well you usually talk 'till someones head explodes. Why so quiet?"
Amy glared at Shadow and sighed. "Ehh, it's nothing Shadow."
"You can't fool me...that sigh gave it away."
Amy went silent for a moment. "Fine you got me. I've just been thinking."
"About what?"
"Well all the things that. Like my mom being so over-protective, about how Darius just left me when I thought there was really something between us, my family member dying...I really don't know who though...my mom never talks about it. She says it's too much for me to handle."
"...Maybe your mom is so over-protective because she loves you so much that she wouldn't want to lose you as a daughter, Darius? He's a coward and you deserve someone better and I'm sorry for your loss, Amy."
Amy sighed. "Thanks Shadow but I'm pretty sure my mom just wants to keep high the Rose Family reputation. Sometimes I just want to..get out of my house and escape her torture. For once I want to be a normal teenage girl."
"Well...You want to be a normal teenage girl?"
"Mhm!"
"Okay. Can you make it tomorrow to Gin's party?"
Amy gasped and nodded her head rapidly as her tail was wagging. Shadow chuckled and got up.
"Very well. I'll explain to you later the directions to his house. We should get going."
Amy nodded as she got up. Her clothes had already dried after a long lay down the grass. She and Shadow went to the motorcycle and got on.
"Um, Shadow. What time is it?"
"It's 2:56"
Amy nodded and laid her head on Shadow's back. They drove off to Amy's house. They finally arrived and Shadow stopped the motorcycle.
"Thanks Shadow. Bye"
Shadow nodded and Amy smiled. She left Shadow and went to her front door. She waved at Shadow and closed the door. Shadow then drove off to his house.
"Hey Rouge! Are you going to the party tonight?" Amy asked Rouge over the phone. Amy smiled and squealed. "Ok! See you there!
Amy hung up and rushed to her room. She went to her closet and picked out a white short ruffled dress and black heels. Amy was looking for a jacket but they were all used and dirty. She remembered she had one hanging on the side of her bed and it was Shadow's. Amy took it and put it on. She smelled a scent of colone and she sniffed the jacket's sleeve. It was like a drug for Amy. She couldn't stop sniffing it.
"Amy?"
Amy quickly stopped what was she was doing and lowered her arm. Mary began to laugh.
"I know what you were doing, Amy."
Amy made a poker face and nodded. "Mary, if mom says where I am just tell her I'm asleep, Okay?"
Mary nodded with a smile while Amy kissed her in the cheek. "Bye!"
"Shadow come on! She's not going to come."
Shadow slowly turned to Bony. Bony had a really mad look on her face.
"Shut up Bony. She's going to come any minute." said Shadow as he faced back to the entrance with his cigarette in his mouth.
Bony gasped and huffed. She got Shadow's shoulder and forced him to face her. Shadow rolled his eyes as he blew the smoke from his cigarette to her face.
"Shadow.." *Cough* "you lost th-" *Cough* "this big opportunity!"
Shadow rolled his eyes and scoffed. "It wouldn't fun fucking a loose one."
Bony gasped and slapped Shadow across the face. "You don't know who you're messing with Shadow! I'm going to get revenge! Just you wait!" Bony yelled as she fled the scene. Shadow touched his red cheek and shrugged.
"What a drama queen..."
As Amy made her way to the entrance, guys drooling over the pink hedgehog and wouldn't leave her alone 'till she gives in. Amy finally made it to the party and she searched for Shadow or Rouge. She couldn't see them so she decided to go to the bar.
"A Magnum please." The bartender nodded and went for her drink. As Amy was waiting for her drink, she soon spotted Shadow upstairs. He was alone with a cigarette between his fingers as he stared down deeply at the dancing people. The bartender came with her drink and she gave him a thank you. She drank it up and asked for 5 more. Amy was overdosing with shots as she got a little dizzy. She decided to stop and go to the dancefloor. She looked up at Shadow again and started to dance. She swayed her body to the music's rhythm. Amy enjoyed the feeling and continued dancing. Her eyes were shut as she concentrated to the music. Shadow wondered where she was. Maybe she didn't come due to her protective mother? Maybe. Shadow sighed and finished up his cigar and went to throw it away. While he was throwing it away he spotted Amy dancing smoothly on the dance floor. Shadow smiled and stared deeply at Amy as she was swaying her body softly. He walked towards her slowly as she continued with her dance. He softly touched her shoulders and his hands made their way to her hands. Amy stopped and slowly turned around to meet an amazing pair of crimson eyes. Shadow stared down at her smiling. Amy blushed and looked down. Shadow gently got her chin and made her look into his eyes.
"You know how much I waited for this...?"
"I..um..I d-don't know..."
Shadow rolled his eyes and kissed Amy. Amy widened her eyes as she tried to pull Shadow back. Shadow gripped her waist and deepened the kiss. Amy slowly let her self go and drifted into the kiss. The two hedgehogs were kissing on the dance floor as Rouge noticed.
"I like classy men my ass." Rouge said as she chuckled. Knuckles looked over at Amy and Shadow and spotted them kissing. Knuckles laughed.
"I knew it. Shadow you dog."
Bony too watched them kiss as she made a disgusted face. "You're so stupid Shadow.."
Amy soon parted for some air, gasping heavily. Shadow smiled and played with her quills. Amy had her arms wrapped around Shadow's neck.
"You know I still hate you."
Shadow grinned as he kissed her once more. "Do you still hate me now?" Shadow mumbled. Amy made a tiny laugh as she kissed back.
Amy arrived to her house smiling. She quietly walked up stairs as a light turned on behind her. Amy looked back as she spotted her mom sitting on the sofa.
"Mom you're awake.." Amy said softly as her mother slammed a page of a newspaper. Amy looked over at the page as she spotted her and Shadow on his motorcycle that night.
"Amy when I told you to tell me everything YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING!" Her mother yelled. "I'm tired of this! Who is Shadow?! HUH?! WHO IS HE!"
Amy looked at her mom with such anger. She slammed her heels to the floor and shouted.
"MOM! I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF! I'M ALMOST 19! STOP TREATING ME LIKE IF I WERE YOUR BABY! I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING I DO MOM! THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED PRIVACY THAT I'D LIKE TO KEEP! SO STOP YELLING AT ME BECAUSE WHATEVER I DO WRONG IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY! AND SHADOW? HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO ENJOY MYSELF AND MAYBE I'M ACTUALLY STARTING TO LIKE HIM! AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE THEN BOOHOO!"
Amy's mother was furious and slapped Amy hard. Amy gasped and touched her red and hot cheek. She turned to her mom.
"I hate you."
Amy rushed to her room slamming her door shut. She glomped on her bed as she sighed. The pink hedgehog soon heard a ringing noise and quickly got up to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Amy."
"Shadow? Why are you calling?"
"I just wanted to tell you before you go to bed look up to the ceiling. So you wouldn't be too lonely."
"Shad-"
Amy heard Shadow hanging up and looked up to her ceiling. She smiled and stared at the photo Shadow put up. She sighed and drifted to sleep.
