Chapter ten-
"So Amy likes Shadow now does she?" Rouge angrily thought. She could
feel the flames of hatred burning through her. "That little bitch! She taking
all the good ones! I'll have to end up with Sonic… or worse…. Tails." She
shuddered at the thought. "Wait! Shadow doesn't necessarily love her
back! I must find out the truth, now." Rouge thought the plan out quickly,
and was gone. She knocked on Shadow's apartment door and it took him
a while to get there. "Uh sorry it took so long, I fell asleep again.." Shadow
said quickly, his voice cracking a bit. "No problem. Why were you asleep
at 12:30? Did you score last night or something?" "What? NO. I just have
a huge hangover." Rouge laughed. "Don't worry I was just joking. I do
have something to ask you though." Shadow looked at her oddly. "Yeah?"
"Yeah. Do you… in any way… love Amy Rose?" She looked straight into
his eyes, and he looked away. "Why… why do you ask?" He stammered.
"Well, just out of curiosity, I suppose. And maybe something else if you
answer the question." Rouge looked very serious. Shadow turned away.
"This is irrelevant and does not matter at the moment." Rouge grabbed his
arm. "It does to me. Answer the question. If it isn't irrelevant, then why is it
so hard to answer?" Shadow thought for a bit. "I.. honestly… don't know.
It's confusing, so there." Rouge loosened her grip. "Still not the answer I
wanted… Cause I love you. I gave you my heart, and that was a mistake.
Maybe the biggest mistake I've ever made, other than going out with
Knuckles. With you, I feel like I'm walking on hot coals here!" She threw
his arm aside. "What's your problem anyways?? You love her! I can tell!"
Angry tears slid down her cheeks. She stormed out and slammed the
door.
