She's not the same. I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't. Now she's gone. With them. Glaring at me. And he's staring at her like I want to.. ShadAmySonic.

" Shadow, what are you doing! " the cobalt hedgehog yelled out. Karou just continued screaming.
Shadow and Amy blushed deep scarlet, as the black and cerise hedgehog runs out of the room. Amy blinks, sighs, and turns to the two males who are shocked. Sonic stared at her, emerald eyes showing a mix of hurt, pain, and betrayal. Karou was passive, and stopped screaming. The pink female stood up, brushed herself off, opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off.
" Amy, what was going on back there? " the blur blur inquired.
" We were rehearsing for a play, and there's a kiss scene. " she replied, voice almost shaking. He walked over to her, draping his arms over her shoulders and playing with her quills.
" Ah. "
" Are you angry with me? "
" Of course not, Ames. I understand. " Amy smiled.
" Good. " Karou sighed, leaving. Emerald locked onto emerald. Amy's smile had to make the cobalt male smile too. He then moved away, releasing all physical contact, holding his head, frown placed on his face, and emerald eyes darting in fear.
" Gods, Amy! What are you doing! " he yelled before running out. Amy cried out.
" Sonic! " the said hedgehog continued to run, a mere blur to those who saw him.
What's wrong with me! he asked himself.
... Am I.. am I falling.. for.. for.. Amy?
I have to be.. my heart beats so fast when I'm near her... but why? Why!
A certain black and cerise hedgehog was having the same thoughts, running as well. They ran into their next class, both panting. Not from exhaustion, but shock and fear from their thoughts.

She sighed, wiping a tear from her cheek. Again trying to put on a fake smile, she failed miserably, and listened to the music, lipping the words.
I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever.. ever.. ever
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs
In my arms
She dies..
She dies..
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If I fall
(down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
As the song finished, the pink hedgehog was almost crying. She held her emotions in, though, breathing in deeply. A few students looked at her, confused, but then again, they didn't understand the meaning of the song. She may be what one would call a 'prep', but she knew her music, and she hated what most preps liked. She was more into what Shadow and Cream liked, which was odd.

School had ended a few good hours ago, but she still felt locked up. She heard a door close downstairs. She flattened her ears, silently turning her music and lights off, sitting on the floor and holding her knees to her chest. Her eyes showed fear, and her breathing became jagged, but she made it almost silent. Heavy footsteps padded up the stairs, outside of her room, and knuckles rapped on the door.
" Amy? Amy, I know you're in there. Make it easier on me and open the door. "A male voice called, and she shivered, not moving.
" The door's open. " she squeaked, barely audibly.
A man opened the door. He was human, with blonde spikes of hair that stood up. His angry brown eyes focused on her as he closed in on the hedgehog.
" I'm pissed! " he yelled.
" Kari still won't go out with me! " Shun yelled, his tan face straining.
" Good thing I have you to help me release the anger.. " he mumbled, clenching his fist as the terrified female closed her eyes, accepting her fate.
He threw a punch at her face, and she took it silently. He kicked her in the stomach, knocking her over. He punched her in the stomach, kicking her and slapping her over and over again. He pulled her quills, scratched her, even hit her with random objects. He beat her until his rage was spent, and yet she still smiled through all of it.
" I expect you to cover those up. And remember, it's our little secret, you bitch. Come down and make dinner soon. " he spoke evilly to the beaten girl.
When he shut the door, Amy got up, staggering, and into her personal bathroom. She took a bath, cleaning herself up, bandaging the wounds.
She went downstairs, into the kitchen, and started boiling water. She decided on pasta, taking out the ingredients as she thinned the tomato paste, then adding seasonings and things Shun liked. She boiled the angel hair noodles, humming and smiling while the human watched her.
She sat down across from him and waited, still smiling.
" Why do you always smile, you piece of shit? " he started. Amy finished the pasta and handed him a white plate with cherry blossom designs on it.
" Dinner's ready, Shun. " she said happily. After they finished eating, he continued. Amy nodded and smiled, making the . face as he spoke.
" Now, what was I saying? Ah, yes. Again, you always smile. Why? You're a worthless, slutty piece of shit. You're a bitch, and you think you're so much better than everyone else. You think you have it hard? Look at my life. I had to work two whole weeks at a Laundry Mat! " he exclaimed.
" That's terrible. " Amy commented, still happily smiling.
" You can't do anything right, and I'm sure everyone would love it if you died. In fact, I think all your so-called 'friends' would spit on it and dance on it in happiness, then having a huge party afterwards. "
" I think so too. Wouldn't that be great? " she seemed to not hear his comments.
" Whatever. I can't look at your stupid and pathetic smile any longer. Go to bed. "
" Yes, Mr. Shun. " she stood, curtsied, and went upstairs.
As she lay on her bed, she recalled the events of earlier at school.

Operation: Flashback

" Hiya Sonic! " she chirped, running to the cobalt hedgehog. He looked up, and Amy gasped. He was crying!
" Sonic, what's wro--" she was cut off by an angry voice.
" Go away! Go kiss your little boyfriend and get the hell out of my life! Forever! Why don't you just die, Amy Rose? " he shrieked at her, voice shaking.
Amy shook her head, backing away.
" You're not Sonic! " she screamed. " YOU'RE NOT SONIC! " and she ran towards her home, heart aching.

She dragged the broken piece of glass over her skin, slashing open and licking the blood. She did this a few more times, then bandaged them up and went to bed.

Sorry it had to get this way, folks, rushed and sloppy, crappy even. Sorry for depression too, but it is romance/angst. Also, sorry this was so rushed, but people wanted a new chapter. Sorry, and I'll take more concern and time next chapter. I was just very depressed, and you know how writing goes. Based on emotions. I was more calm first chapter, so sorry.. Please forgive me!
