LATER.
Shadow was at the cherry blossom tree which Sonic and Shadow were at a few months ago and Shadow look up at the cherry blossom.
"Why"Shadow whispered.
Thats when Shadow punched the tree trunk and kept on punching the tree.
"WHY DAMNIT. I ASK YOU NOT TO KILL SONIC YET YOU WANT ME TO KILL ME IT'S NOT FAIR DAMNIT"Shadow yelled.
"WHY DO I GET THIS FUCKING LIFE. WAS IT BETTER IF I NEVER MET SONIC. THEN MAYBE I WOULDN'T HAVE THESE DAMN FEELINGS FOR HIM"Shadow yelled as he was punching the tree.
"Why damnit why"Shadow cried as his punching started to slow down.
"I can't take it"Shadow cried.
Shadow then stop his punching and fell landing on his hands and knees.
"It's not fair"Shadow cried.
"I feel remorse for him, I feel sorry for him, I-i Love him"Shadow cried " But why does when something good finally happens something bad just takes it away"Shadow cried then notice a cherry blossom flower missing two petels.
"Sonic's just like a blossom. A broken blossom. The petels won't grow back"Shadow cried as he picked up the blossom.
"Look at me I just a chicken not something amazing i'm just some chicken"Shadow cried as he stood up and layed his back on the tree.
"I can't take it. It hurts so much"Shadow cried. "Those were Sonic's words and for some reason I feel his pain"Shadow cried then heard a bird chirping.
Shadow then saw the bird which was looking for food.
"It's easy for you. You don't to worry about a damn thing"Shadow cried.
The bird then look at Shadow and flew to him.
"What feel sorry for me"Shadow ask "Look at me i'm so pathactic that i'm talking to a bird"Shadow cried.
The bird just kept on chirping and jump to Shadow's knee.
"I guess I was right you do feel sorry for me"Shadow cried.
Shadow then put down the flower and hold out his hand for the bird. The bird jump onto Shadow's hand.
"Your lucky. Not worrying about anything and you can just fly away from your problems while Sonic just has to deal with his new life"Shadow cried "And for me just cry for him relizeing that i'm a idoit"Shadow cried.
The bird chirp. "Why is that you can fly away. Your so little yet you can do great things. As people they try to run away from there problems and yet by the end of the day they relize they can't run away from it yet they still run. You on the other you can just fly and get the day over with and not give a damn if what happend"Shadow said.
"Silly isn't it"Shadow cried.
Thats when the bird found a worm and flew off of Shadow's hand and Shadow saw the bird take the worm and flew off to a nest in the tree that Shadow didn't see.
"It's a harsh world when you think about it there's always gonna be cruel and heartless people and one can fix that problem no matter how hard they try"Shadow cried.
"I should get back to Sonic"Shadow cleaned up his tears and went off.

I just can't help Sonic fly away it can't be done"Shadow bended down and curled up into a ball and cried.
"Shadow"Maria smiled. "Even if you can't help Sonic in some ways there are still ways to help him go through the day and just make him happy as anyone can be"Maria smiled.
"Re-really"Shadow look up at Maria.
"Yes. Remember when at first you didn't like Rainbow dash "Maria ask.

"Well you ended up likeing her when she saved me. Doesn't that only mean that if you make one person happy then maybe you can be happy for you and Sonic"Maria ask.
"Ye-yeah"Shadow said.
"Then maybe make him happy it's a start on how to make things work for you and him"Maria said.
"Yeah your right but still I always get the feeling that something's wrong"Shadow said.
"You'll finger it out besides your Shadow the hendgehog"Maria smiled.
"Thanks Maria"Shadow smiled.

"Rose looks like your done with Sonic's health check"Maria gave a nervous smile.
"Yep and HOW DARE YOU SHADOW YOU LEFT SONIC ALONE"Rose yelled.
"He ask to be alone for a while"Shadow said.
"GO BACK OR I'-"Rose cut off when Maria covered Rose's mouth.
"Yeah she was not happy to find out it's probaly best if you go back"Maria smiled and Shadow went back to Sonic's room.
Sonic look at Shadow and smiled.
"Hey Shads"Sonic smiled.
"Hey Faker"Shadow said.
There was just slicence.
'Say something Shadow'Shadow thought and notice Sonic smileing.
"You know"Sonic smiled.
Shadow look at Sonic.
"Just to break the silcene I just wanted to say i'm sorry I should have never ask you something like to kill me it was stupid of me"Sonic smiled,
"It's fine"Shadow said.
"How are you feeling did you tell Rose about the pain"Shadow ask.
"Yeah and she gave me pain killers and it help"Sonic smiled.
'Something's not right but what is it'Shadow thought.
"Your so lucky Shads. You get Maria back and all I get is nothing. If you ask me your the luckest guy in the world because you can have so many powers you get a friend back and now look at you your still lucky and you got more friends now"Sonic smiled. "Pretty cool right"Sonic smiled.
Shadow look at Sonic then relized it he finally fingures out what was wrong.
"I finally fingured it out something was wrong and I just fingured it out. Your smiles"Shadow said.
"What about them"Sonic ask.
"You smile because you don't want to seem like a burden to your friends because you don't them to think your weak"Shadow said with a sad look "You really wanted to die because you couldn't smile anymore you smile when your friends are around but when alone you can't smile and your relived but then when we come to see you you smile your smiles hurt the most of all. Am I right"Shadow ask.
Sonic then look at Shadow with shock eyes and smiled "Oh but your wrong Shads"Sonic smiled.
"DON'T LIE"Shadow yelled.
Sonic then look Shadow again and wanted to cry but just couldn't.
"Shads yo-"Sonic was cut off by himself and said"I'm smileing because-because I ju-I just...I CAN'T SMILE ANYMORE"Sonic cried "I TRY SO HARD TO PUT ON A BRAVE FACE BUT WHEN I DO IT JUST HURTS"Sonic cried.
"I can't- I can't fucking do it my body might hurt so much but just smileing makes me wanna kill myself because knowing all my friends they expect me to put on a happy face even when somthing like this happens but all I wanna do is die. I wanna die Shads"Sonic cried.
'I knew it. Sonic you go threw so munch pain and yet you put on a brave face even if it hurts'Shadow thought.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT"Sonic cried and closed his eyes wishing this was all a dream. "Eggman took away my love for running and now I just don't know what to do I just wanna die to stop me from smileing cause how can I smile when something of mine is stolen"Sonic cried then felt warm and open his eyes to see Shadow hugging him.
"I know what your going threw. When Maria died I putted on a brave cause I didn't want to look like a failure to Maria but I just wanted to cry. I couldn't take it"SHadow said.
"Sha-Shadow"Sonic whispered. Sonic was about to cry again but didn't want to at least not around Shadow.
Shadow then felt like he was gonna cry and Shadow cried but kept low sobs. 'I wish I could run away from my problems'Shadow thought the remembered the bird. 'But I can never run away from them'Shadow thought.
"You know it's okay to cry around me sense I know. Plus I know you want to cry you can cry as much as you want now i' only here and no one else"Shadow sob.
Sonic then hug Shadow and cried. Sonic screamed from his crying it just somehow felt good to cry considering Sonic's been putting on fake smiles from everyone so this just felt good to let it all out just by crying, sobbing and screaming.
After a few mintues of both of the hengehogs crying Sonic whispered. "Shadow thank you"Sonic whispered.
"Your welcome Sonic the Hengehog"Shadow sob.
