Here is chapter five, wow this is the second chapter I have wrote in a day! I am doing most of my writing now as I will struggle to update when I am back at school, especially with my year 9 exams! I am actually failing English writing! Anyway, enjoy!
Shadow sat at Amy's bedside in the hospital, looking at her sleep. He smiled, she looked so peaceful. Shadow had carried her in a few hours earlier, and the doctors tended to her immediately. They said she was to make a full recovery and that she would be free to go the next day, she just needed rest and plenty of water.
Shadow walked back into the waiting room where Rouge was sitting. He had left her alone for the last few hours, he thought he'd better keep her company.
" How is Amy?" Rouge asked out of politeness not concern, when Shadow sat besides her.
" She will recover," Shadow stated simply. They sat in awkward silence, staring at the polished floor.
" We better tell Cream, she would want to know what state her best friend is in. They are still friends…aren't they?" Shadow finally said uncertainly. He did not really know what Amy's relationship was like with all her friends these days.
" Yeah, Cream is still Amy's friend. I think she is the only one left who stuck by her." Rouge replied. Shadow then realised that Rouge knew what had happened between Amy and Sonic. Everyone seemed to know apart from him. He wanted to know desperately, and Amy was not telling.
" What actually happened between Amy and Sonic?" Shadow inquired. Rouge looked shocked.
" You don't know, she didn't even tell you?" She exclaimed. Shadow shook his head.
" I can't tell you then, all I will say is that it was bad. Amy probably thinks you will turn against her like everyone else has if you know."
Shadow thought. What could Amy have possibly done to Sonic, or vice versa that is so bad? Whatever it is, he would never turn against her. He just wanted to know. Rouge obviously was not going to tell she could be stubborn like that. Shadow needed someone else whom he could easily get it out of, someone he could possibly trick to find out.
Then it came to him, Cream. Cream must know, and she is naive enough to tell him. Shadow smiled quickly and got up.
" I'm going to get Cream, stay here and wait for us," he said to Rouge and walked down the hospital corridor until he reached the door, where he ran to Creams house.
When he reached where the eight year old rabbit lives he rang the doorbell, hoping Creams mum, Vanilla, was not in aswell. Whenever Vanilla was in he found it hard to get away; she keeps offering him things such as tea and biscuits.
The front door opened and Shadow found himself staring at Vanilla.
" Oh, Shadow dear! Do come in, we were about to have tea." She exclaimed happily. Shadow sighed, he knew that was coming.
" I need to speak with Cream, it's an emergency," Shadow said sounding serious as he walked through the door. Cream must have heard.
" An emergency Mr. Shadow, oh no what happened!" She asked in a worried voice. Shadow frowned. He hated it when she called him ' Mr. Shadow', but he knew telling her to stop would do no good.
" Amy is in hospital Cream." Shadow said collapsing onto the leather sofa. He loved that sofa.
" Oh no Mr. Shadow!" Cream cried clasping a hand to a mouth, " Did she try to kill herself again?"
Shadow's eyes widened in horror.
" What?" he exclaimed. Vanilla looked at her daughter and shook her head, and Cream seemed to pick up on it.
" Oh, nothing Mr. Shadow, can I go see Amy now?"
Shadow nodded to Cream, and he thought while the rabbit fetched her coat. Amy had tried to commit suicide. Why? Shadow needed to know what would have led Amy to want to do such a thing like that, and he was relying on Cream to leak it out to him. When Cream was ready to go, they both started to jog slowly towards the hospital.
On the way Shadow spotted an ice cream van. He knew Cream could not resist ice cream. He stopped jogging and went up to the van.
" What flavour Cream?" He asked softly to the rabbit. Cream's face that was previously worried about Amy lit up, as all thoughts turned to ice cream.
" Vanilla please Mr. Shadow!" She cried excitedly. Shadow grinned as he handed her the ice cream. Luckily for him, she was so easily distracted. They both sat down on a nearby bench, and Cream started to lick her ice cream happily.
" Cream, why did Amy try to kill herself?" Shadow asked gently.
" I'm not allowed to say!" Cream replied in an annoying sing song voice.
" Amy does not need to know that I know," Shadow continued gently, " and I'll buy you another ice cream."
That last bribe seemed to do it for Cream, as more thoughts of ice cream entered her head.
" Okay Mr. Shadow!" Cream smiled. Shadow smiled back, he was finally going to know the truth…
Shadow and Cream finally made it to the hospital.
" What took you so long, Amy has woken up!" Rouge cried as they entered the waiting room.
" Really!" Shadow cried, and dragged Cream into Amy's room with him.
As they entered Amy gave them a weak smile. She looked much better. She was still quite warm and her cheeks quite red, but she was starting to look more like her old self. Shadow let go of Cream and gave Amy a small kiss on the cheek, making Shadow blush and Amy giggled. Cream smiled she thought it was cute.
" Hey Shad, hey Cream!" Amy cried happily. Shadow smiled, he loved to see Amy more cheerful like this, he did not even tell her to stop calling him Shad. He was starting to like the nickname.
" How are you feeling Amy?" Cream asked.
" Oh much better now I'm out that desert!" Amy exclaimed happily, but then her face turned serious. " I'm sorry Shadow for messing up getting the Emeralds." She said sadly.
Shadow's expression softened.
" Amy, no need to apologise," he said softly, " you are more important to me than getting these Emeralds. I can still get it another day, it would be harder to get you back if you died."
Amy held back a tear of happiness, and she smiled widely.
" Really?" She asked happily. Shadow grinned and softly kissed Amy on the lips, which gave her the reply. Cream clapped at the kiss, which startled Shadow.
" Um Cream, can I speak to Amy alone for a bit?" Shadow asked Cream, which puzzled Amy.
" Of course Mr. Shadow, I'll go speak to Miss. Rouge!" Cream replied and skipped out the door happily.
When Shadow was sure he and Amy was alone, he sat down on the chair next to her and spoke softly.
" Ames, I know that you tried to commit suicide, and more importantly I know why." He spoke gently.
Amy's eyes widened, and she stared down at her bed, a few glistening tears dripping from her emerald eyes.
" Oh God," she whispered.
Hopefully chapter six will be done before school, please review!
