Every Rose Has It's Thorns

Disclaimer: I don't own them.

A/N: First Shad/Amy thing I've ever done.

I started re-editing because, I myself felt that I could do a better job with my older chaps as my writing skills got better. I'm still pretty bad though. Damn I need help...


Station Square

Amy Rose lay on her bed crying. The pillow burying her soaked face, muffle cursing came out as well.

Much like a rose Amy Rose had her thorns but were kept neatly trimmed by her love, her thorns were her unhappy or hurtful emotions, but seeing her love Sonic, kept those thorns form hurting anyone. But something happen that is allowing the thorns to grow...

Flash Back

Amy ran down the street happily chasing after Sonic, it was her usual routine, get dress, eat and chase him until she can't feel her legs.

Sonic hated this though, running from her he just want her to leave him alone.

Sonic stopped, and she bumped into him, but quickly wrapped her arms around him.

Sonic only sighed, "Amy why?" Amy looked at him weirdly.

"Why, what?" She asked.

"Why do you chase me everyday, why?" Before she could speak he spoke again cutting her off harshly, "I hate it Amy! Can't you see that I don't feel the same way? Everyday it the same thing I can't take it anymore! Please just leave me alone! I don't love you Amy!"

Amy backed away as her eyes grew watery; he had said this before but not like this. It was like he punched her in heart brutally. It was harsh, he'd had said it before but this time, he was harsh with her.

She couldn't look at him anymore...the pain she felt, it was harsh. Turning around she ran home, hoping this was a nightmare.

Shadow watched from silently. The whole scene played out before him. He could fell a small anger rise as he saw Sonic and felt sorrow for Amy as she ran off.

"Sonic, how could you?" Shadow asked watching Amy run around the corner, Sonic turned around;

"Listen, I couldn't take it anymore, I had to tell her!"

Shadow shook his head again, "But did you have to tell her like that? Don't you understand that she's sensitive! You can't tell her that in that way!"

End Flash Back

Amy continued to cry quietly until her phone rang. She didn't answer but she heard the message.

"Hey Amy, it's Rouge I heard what happened today," She paused and spoke softly in hopes of comforting her in some way, "Sonic was way outta line to tell you like that. Anyway if wanna talk you can call me anytime." Amy looked at the phone; she relaxed a bit knowing she had a friend to talk to.

She hugged her pillow. Her eyes and cheeks soaked from her tears. She just wanted be with him, she thought it was like always.

She got up to take a shower hoping the pain and the hurt would wash away.


8:25 pm Restaurant

Shadow and Rouge were on a date. They had been dating for about two weeks; both of them felt weird dating each other. It was awkward dating her. It felt so weird dating some he considered a sister more than a friend. Why did he even ask her out?

She thought it wouldn't feel like this at first but she still felt uncomfortable. She liked to consider possibilities and this one wasn't working out.

Shadow want to tell her in the kindest way that this wasn't feeling right to him. But sympathy in his heart made him choke up some times.

Rouge sat side ways in her chair trying to avoid facing him;

'This has to end…tonight. C'mon Rouge, he's a man, he won't be hurt.

Later…

Shadow walked in the street, mad, sad and pissed at himself. He couldn't do it. She gave him a smile at the end of the date the made him feel bad about trying to end it. He couldn't say anything that wouldn't hurt her.


Amy's House

Amy lay on her bed again not crying this time; she was in deep thought. Her mind was filled so many thoughts that went against each other. Why did she always go after him? He treated her unkindly most of the time. But he was only like that when she was annoying or chasing him. But there was no harm in her intentions.

The phone rang again, she groaned angrily as she picked it up;

"What?" Her voice was tense.

"Hey Amy, its Rouge."

Amy sighed with a bit of relief, "Oh hey, what is it?"

"Are okay? Do you wanna talk about...?" Rouge didn't finish her sentence in hopes of not making her mad.

Amy's clenched her fist, "No..." A silence came over Rouge. That was really the only thing she could talk about with Amy. It was the reason of her call, talk about Sonic.

"Well is there anything else you wanna talk about?"

"No…" Her voice was soft and weak.

"Alright, Amy, I'm here, just give me a call."

Amy's voice was soft but still normal, "Yeah, alright."

She heard a click on the other end of the phone and just let the phone fall in to place. She felt a little bit of comfort knowing Rouge was there for her.

Amy lay down on her bed and rested. She couldn't go to sleep though; her thoughts were racing back and forth. Suddenly the phone rang again, starling her a bit.

"Hello?" Amy's voice had a groan now.

"Ames! It's—" She slam the phone as hard she could as soon as she heard his voice; it was Sonic...the last person she want to even hear of.

Growling to herself she turned away from the phone and lay down on her bed again. She muffled curses about him as she continued to put her face in the pillow. She closed her eyes and felt at ease, till there was loud knocking at the door.

She groaned as she got up, "Hold on!" She screamed.

She made her way there. Opening the door, she found none other than Sonic. As soon as she saw his blue quills and before he could speak;

"I hope you burn in hell Sonic!" She slammed the door in his face.
