Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and blah blah blah. I'm finally back yay! *Squirts silly string at CS, J, and Amber* so here's the next chapter finally and a BIG thanks to the readers for sticking with me. One last thing, since it's been so long since I've written I've decided to change the main character a smidge. (Sweat drop) everything is the same except she's a white hedgehog and...yea so. Enjoy and for god's sake REVIEW!
Ch.3~
It was just a mere day after her outburst, but she was still locked up in her room not speaking to anyone. It was obvious that people were worried about how she was acting and how she shut herself away from everyone and everything, but that didn't stop visitors from coming in. She sighed as she heard a knock at her door. She got up, unlocked the door, and then sat back down by the window again. She wasn't surprised to see Knuckles enter. It was probably the third time that day he came to her room asking her if she was alright and trying to get her to eat only succeeding in her eating a meager meal. She sighed again as he grabbed a chair and sat next to her. They sat there for a few minutes, neither one of them speaking until Knuckles finally broke the silence, "I hate to ruin this moment, but are you ready for this afternoon?"
Funerals, everyone loathed them. Except for Laura, she never had a family save Knuckles so she had never been to one before. She nodded not moving her eyes from the window. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil; it was the complete opposite of how she was feeling. Knuckles saw the frown on her face and he put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. No more words were spoken. Just his presence alone showed that he cared. He patted her shoulder and left the room so that she could get ready for the funeral. She looked at the black attire on her bed. She knew what she had to do, but she was afraid to do it. She grabbed the clothing and went to get ready for the ceremony.
//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//
The ceremony was a small quiet one. Only close friends were invited. Everyone was dressed in black. Even Amy, whose bright smile was replaced by sobbing and tears. Laura frowned. She didn't want to turn out like that; She didn't want to sob at the drop of a hat. (A/N ooo that rhymes!) Everyone walked past the closed coffin to pay his or her respects. Although the real body wasn't there it still had the same effect. It was finally her turn. She stepped in front of the coffin and took in a shaky breath. She wanted all of this to be over and done with. She wished none of this had happen. (A/N: hmm reminds me of a quote from LOTR) She kissed her fingers and then touched the coffin. She turned away when it was lowered into the ground. Some people started to leave, but she stayed behind. For once people gave her the distance that she needed. She closed her eyes and felt the warm tears trickle down her cheeks. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Sonic. You could see a solitary tear slide down his cheek. No words were spoken. She knew that she wouldn't talk or eat for the rest of the day. She sighed and they both went home.
//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\
She couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning. Her sheets were in a knot at the foot of her bed. Frustrated, she put on the first article of clothing she could find and walked out the front door. She didn't know where she was heading until she found herself in front of Shadow's grave. She placed some daisies that she picked next to the grave. Then, she placed her hand on the grave as a strong breeze blew by. As she looked at the bracelet on her wrist it appeared as if a faint glow surrounded her. Her tears mixed with the wind that blew by while her dress was blowing in the strong autumn breeze. A song came to mind that fit with the situation.
Sally's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas movie
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
Although I'd like to stand by him
I can't shake this feeling that i am
The worst is just around the bend
But does he notice?
My feelings for him?
When will he see?
How much he means to me?
I think it's not to be...
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may it doesn't last
And will we ever... end up together?
No i think not
It's never to become
For i am not the one
After she finished she knelt by the tombstone. She felt like she had to talk to him and cleanse her soul. She didn't care who saw her if they passed by. She took in another breath and began, "Shadow, wherever you are, I hope you can hear me. You never got credit for what you did. We told them what you wished for; we passed on your legacy and told them your story. I never got to tell you how I felt about you." She wiped a few tears from her eyes and continued; "I know how you felt about Maria a-and I don't know if you could have the same feelings about me or anyone else for that matter. In the short time I knew you I fell for you, hard. I know you're probably somewhere right now looking down on me. I wish you could come back and I would give anything for that to happen. I just hope you can guide me along the way and help me with my problems. I'll try to come here as often as I can. I just wish that I could have said good-bye to you, but I can say one thing. I-I love you and you'll always have a special place in my heart." She stood up and brushed the stray tears away from her eyes. She felt raindrops fall from the sky as if God was crying with her. She sniffled and started towards home. A lone figure stood look out behind a tree. He heard everything.
