Chapter 10

The party at Santa Monica is in tomorrow. I told Chris about Sonic and me and said we could just go together as friends since nobody seems interested in us. We were going shopping to pick an outfit.

"Now remember we ain't girls so lets not put too much on ourselves we're going to be on a beach." Chris informed me as we entered a shop.

"I know I'm a guy, thanks!"

"Look I know you're upset about Sonic but we're going to enjoy ourselves 'cause we're New York natives and we always have fun!"

"I'm not even sure I wanna go." I said slowly putting a garment down.

"No! Shads, you have to go! You have to show Sonic that you're up for a fight!"

"I don't wanna fight with Sonic!"

"I mean show him that you're not upset about it and he'll be annoyed that you're not upset and will talk to you."

"He's not that kinda guy that does that."

"Well he might have changed since he saw you hitting on other guys."
"I was not hitting on other guys!"

"You so are."

"Whatever, I'm gonna leave in a minute!"

"No! No! Look sorry I'll shut up." We shopped in silence and left the shop with an outfit.

"Are you really gonna show up? I'll never forgive you if you don't!"
"I will, meet me at my house, ok!"
"Ok. Are you sure you're going to enjoy yourself?"

"I'll try but I'm not promising anything."

Tonight's the night and I don't wanna go. I pretty happy sitting in my room, playing my ps3. But I have to go I don't wanna disappoint Chris so I got myself ready and Chris came over and he ran me over a few things before we set off.

"Shads, you and Sonic will get back together tonight."
"No we won't!"

"I have a feeling you will."

"Whatever can we get this over with please!"

"Alright."

We arrived at Santa Monica and it's packed! There are lights hanging from palm trees and the party stretches for miles! It looks really cool! There are security guards leading us to our school's area and I recognised everyone. Knuckles ran up to us.

"Hey! C'mon you're missing the party!" He grabbed our arms and dragged us to where Silver, Tails, Jet, Vector and Espio were sitting. I was kinda enjoying myself probably because I drank 3 cups of hidden beer already.

"Wow, Shads I never knew you were this kind of person." Knuckles said amazed as the others watching drink my fourth cup.

"Well I have to enjoy myself don't I?" I said. I'm not entirely drunk I just feel relaxed. Very relaxed. I actually for the first time started dancing when good music came on. Chris was laughing at me like crazy. But I wasn't embarrassed I just wanted to have a good time and forget about the situation between Sonic and me! But then my enjoyment ended. People were gathering around the entrance, apparently there was a fight.

"Did you hear? Sonic beat the shit out of Daniel!" One guy said to his friend. Daniel…he was one of the guys that flirted with me! Daniel walked in swearing and some of my basketball team mates followed him.

"That fucking bastard!" He shouted. Sonic walked in. He looked !

"Why the fuck are you attacking me?"

"I saw you last week flirting and touching up Shadow! What did you think!"

"Yeah I was flirting with him since he's fit and you've abandoned him!" Sonic pushed Daniel hard on the floor.

"Just fucking stay away from him, ok? Before I do kill you!" And he stormed out, pushing people out of the way.

"Did I tell you that he can get very angry and violent when people mess with him?" Silver asked me smiling.

"He's so ghetto!" Jet said laughing. (Why did Jet just say that?) I don't know why but I felt kind of good because Sonic does care about me. I have to talk to him. I tried to walk to the entrance.

"Where are you going?" Chris said.

"I'm talking to Sonic." I replied. I ran out and tried to find Sonic. I saw him he looked like he was leaving. He was kilometres away.

"SONIC!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. He stopped and turned around he saw it was me and turned around and carried on walking. I ran as fast as I could and catched up with him.

"Sonic wait why are you walking off?" I said confused.

"Because I don't want to see you." He replied coldly.

"Why?"

"Because, Shadow you just going around flirting with people!"

"You did when you were with Knuckles."

"I never flirted with him he was my cousin!"

"I didn't want to flirt with him."

"Then why didn't you fucking stop him!" He shouted at me kicking a bin over really hard. I wasn't scared of his anger at all.

"Well I thought we were over."

"You thought we were over because I walked off in a huff? You must be the biggest idiot in LA!"

"Why are you getting all worked up about it? Are you hiding something?"
"No I'm not hiding anything!" Why was Sonic so angry?

"Sonic." I said walking up to him. "I know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry." Sonic looked down. "What are you feeling?"

"I'm feel like I wanna punch you in the face!"

"Why are you like this?"

"I don't know." There's only one thing I could try to get it out of him.
"You have some sort of feeling for me that you can't get away from."

"I don't."

"And you don't want people to find about this feeling because you don't want people to think you're some sort of pussy."

"Shut up."

"But you really want to tell me now right to my face to get it off your chest."

"FINE! Shadow I love you." I just stood shocked. I wasn't expecting that kind of answer.

"Um"

"I knew you weren't feeling the same way and that's why I'm angry." He walked off but not quick enough I grabbed his arm and then grabbed his face and kissed him. His body wasn't tense and angry he started to relax I pulled away and looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you too." And kissed again. "We could probably go somewhere quietly where no one will be watching." I teased him.

"We could go to my house no one is there, they're all out." We gave each other naughty looks and ran off to his house.

The next morning after that massive party I arrived at my house. You're probably wondering what Sonic and me were up to but it's none of your business! Sonic is like the sex symbol of the school so you can already imagine what we were up to last night. All I can say is I never knew it was so much fun! I don't know why I didn't do it before.

"WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?" Chris shouted down the phone.

"I was with Sonic."

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"You got back together didn't you?"

"He admitted that he loved me."
"Aww that's cute! What were you up to after that?"
"Errr…"

"You didn't."

"We did."

"OH-MY-GOD! I KNEW you would pull it off that night!"

"Yeah, yeah you were right!"

"Was he good?"

"He was brilliant."

"What did you do?"

"Now that's none of your business!"
"Well you must have done something sexy in there. Wow I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks." He hung up. I was so happy about last night that I realised that I didn't tell my family where I was. I walked into the living room and my dad roared at me

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN I WAS WORRIED SICK! FOR SCARING ME LIKE THAT YOU'RE GROUNDED AND YOU WILL NEVER GO TO A PARTY LIKE THAT AGAIN!"

"Honey, I gave him permission to stay at his friend's house after the party." My mom said. I can't believe she was lying for me.

"Oh ok, well you could have told me. I'm sorry my mistake." He walked upstairs.

"Why did you do that?"

"You looked like you've been up to no good. A guy needs to have his fun." She winked at me and went into the kitchen. My sister came into the living room.

"You look sexed up! What were you doing last night?"

"Nothing." I said quickly and ran to my room. I lied on my bed and gave a joyful sigh. My phone buzzed I picked it up and I got a text from Sonic it said.

Sonic: Yo! Shads u left ur pants here I aint pickin it up!

OMG how embarrassing no wonder it felt weird in my jeans I quickly texted.

Shadow: Sorry I come over and get it!

Sonic: Had to lie to my mom sayin it was my pants. She's washing it.

Sonic's so sweet, why is everyone standing up for me? It's awesome!

Shadow: Thanks for doing that.

Sonic: Well my parents will kill me if they found I was having sex in our house anyways G2G see ya!

Shadow: Bye love you x
