Here is the next chapter and all Shadow fan girls, don't worry she didn't break any of his bones...just his heart...But will he be able to fix both his and her heart again? Read to find out!
Amy's Point of View
As I close the door behind me, knowing that he's not been badly injured, I can't help but collapse to the floor letting my bags fall alongside me. 'It's only his pride that's been hurt', I tell myself! Though that doesn't stop the fact that I feel so shattered and heartbroken...I'm even feeling guilty! Yet it should be him that feels bad!
I did nothing wrong, I only stood up for myself and protected myself...Who knows what he would of done if I hadn't! No! That's an inequitable statement; Shadow would never have done anything to me! He wouldn't have even dreamed of harming me!
Yet I've never seen him like this...Was that the 'real' Shadow? Or did I fall in love with the 'real' Shadow?
I don't even know anymore, I'm just so confused and the only thing I know is that I can't stop falling in deeper for him...
For better or for worse, I love him and nothing is going to change that! I just wish that I could take back all the horrible things I said. Yet maybe they will be his wake up call!
As I start to think over all the spiteful words I realise I said most of them out of anger, but it's too late to take them back...
I've walked out the door; I've turned my back on him. I've turned my back on us!
I don't even have anywhere to go! It's not like I can go home to my father...
"Hey Amy, what are you doing back? I thought you were staying with Shadow..."
"I was, but we had an argument and he said something about 'tapping' me and I told him I loved him...Um, hi Sarah..."
Because that wouldn't be awkward! Telling my father that I love my stepbrother...Never mind the whole 'tapping' business! I think I'd just die of suspense!
I can't go to Cream, she'd only tell Tails and he'd undoubtedly tell Sonic! He is the last person I want knowing about the argument, especially as he only made it worse! Plus if Shadow found out...
Wait! Why do I care about Shadow knowing?
"Because, you love him!"My inner self calls out!
If Shadow found out he'd probably take it the wrong way! Especially because I said, "I'd rather love Sonic and suffer heartbreak for the rest of my life than stay madly and deeply in love with a monster!"
I guess that leaves only one more person to turn to, even if we barely know each other...
Shadow's Point of View
I'm going to win her back! I win back her heart if it's the last thing I do... I'll prove to her that I'm not a monster! I'll explain to her why I said what I said...I'll...I'll...I'll tell her the truth! I'll tell her I love her!
I jump up from the floor, suddenly full of adrenaline and ready to race out and gain back her trust...
Although one look at the state of my apartment and I know she wouldn't want to return back to this, it would only remind us both of the argument that had occurred.
The debris, that once was a phone, stares back at me while the dent in the wall from when I threw it laughs at me, mocks me. The spilt water from our kettle glistens on the work tops and floor, no longer hot and steaming. Pieces of the first aid kit are here and there as my anger with Sonic caused me to... fling them across the room...?
Why do I not recall doing that? I guess I must have been too caught up in my anger and frustration to have noticed my actions...
But that mess is only the kitchen! The living room isn't that bad though, just the coffee table is broken from when I landed partially onto of it, and some of the wallpaper is torn from the impact of my body!
My room is tidy, so that's once less room to clean yet I assume I'll have to tidy Amy's room, she left in a hurry after all. With that thought in mind I walk down the narrow hallway and slowly push open the door revealing...
This is going to take me ages to clean!
Clothes that she could obviously not fit into her small suitcases are flung over the bed, entwined in some of the blankets and sheets. It breaks my heart to notice she left behind the t-shirt I gave her...The t-shirts I gave her...All of them left behind in a shamble!
A few of her shoes are lying on the floor, as are a lot of other belongings. I'm presuming she only took what she needed.
As I make my way through the mess, I feel something stab into the bottom of my foot.
"Ow!" I yell as I lift up my foot, inspecting it closer.
A small piece of glass in stuck in my fur, so I pull it out slowly cursing as I do so. This causes some blood to pour out of the wound, but the blood clots as quickly as it leaks out!
I look down to the floor, a broken photo frame is the culprit of my injury.
I pick it up with caution looking at the image, two female hedgehogs look back at me. After intently looking at the cheerful image for a few seconds I come to the conclusion that it's Amy and her mother a few years back. I can't help but smile as my heart shines out at the happy mother and daughter likeness...
With Amy in mind, I start the cleaning process which means both me and the house!
Amy's Point of View
I walk up to the door nervous but positive that I won't be turned down...I knock three times before awaiting the opening of the object.
I can hear multiple locks being undone until finally the door creaks open...
"Can I stay with you for a while?"
