Chapter Four-
Shadow woke up still feeling guilty about the dress. He went over to
apologize about it and offer to have it mended at an alteration store. He
had never done anything like this for anyone, but for some reason he felt
compelled to make it up to her. He walked over to her house, and when
she opened the door, her eyes were very red and puffy. Shadow was
shocked and asked what was wrong. "aaa-hhh it's nothing m-much. I-i
just... " and she broke down. "I feel so guilty-" Shadow butted in. "What
happened?" Amy sighed. The truth would have to come out sometime.
Why not now? "W-ell... see... yesterday, Knuckles and I kissed even
though I thought he was going out with Rouge, and I love Sonic... so now i
feel so bad..." a small tear slid silently down her cheek. Shadow decided
to softly wipe it away, even though it was completely against his nature.
He hugged her and comforted her, although he felt very awkward the
whole time. After a while, Amy fell asleep on the couch. Shadow laid her
softly onto her bed, so as not to stir her, and put a blanket on her. He
figured he should stay and watch over her for the night. So he pulled up a
chair, and eventually fell asleep.
