Past Secrets
Chapter 43 - A Rose Will Greet You
Amy's POV
"Come dance Amy!" Shouted Blaze.
"Unlike you Blaze, I don't have a date to dance with." I replied.
"Silver's not that good of a dancer." Stated Blaze.
"Hey, your lucky I'm even dancing with you!" Shouted Silver.
"Your lucky I even went to this dance with you Silver!" shouted Blaze back.
"Oh come on you know you love me!" Shouted Silver as he took Blaze's arm.
"I'll talk to you later Amy!" Shouted Blaze as she was hauled back onto the dance floor.
I smiled and looked around the cafeteria. After that close call with Dark we haven't been talking to much. He's on the other side of the dance floor with Tails and Knuckles. I'm happy he came, but I think he's only here because of me.
I wish I could have a good time. Last year I was with Sonic; now I'm here alone. Without a date by my side. All I could think about was my love. Shadow. I wish he could be here tonight. Dark thinks he's alive, but its been three months since he admitted that. I have no chance in seeing him again. It's over. I just need to tell myself that until it starts feeling true.
Dark's POV
"Cheer up Dark! it's almost Christmas!" Shouted Tails.
"Yeah Dark, why don't you just go find a girl and have a good time?" Asked Knuckles.
"I can't guys! I need to watch Amy!" I replied.
"Dude, she's ok! Nothings going to happen!" Replied Tails.
"I'm not taking the chance! Listen why don't you guys go hang out with your dates?" I shouted at them in anger.
"We're just watching out for you bro!" Shouted Knuckles as he got up with his date Julie-Su.
"Don't worry Dark we're going!" Shouted Tails as he took Cosmo's hand.
Everyone was out on the dance floor now, except me and Amy. Even Sonic had a date. He was with Wave and I'm sure Jet wouldn't like that if he was here.
I watched as Amy sat at her table alone. Even though we haven't been talking I still think I should go and talk to her.
I slowly stood up and walked to her table. She looked at me as I approached in silence. I quickly took a seat across from her and started it off.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"No Dark! I'm really upset!" Shouted Amy.
"I am too! Listen, I said Shadow was alive and I'm sorry if…!" Amy cut me off.
"Can you just shut the fuck up Dark! I know your sorry and I don't care anymore! Shadow's Dead and he'll never come back! Can you just go! I don't want to be bothered!" Yelled Amy.
I carefully stood back up and went back to my table in silence. I sat back down and looked over at Amy who was crying.
I have no idea what to do, but maybe she's right.
Silver's POV
"You suck at dancing Silver!" Shouted Blaze.
"So do you!" I shouted back.
"I'm royalty so I have the right to suck at it!" Shouted Blaze while pushing me away.
"What!" I shouted with a smile.
"Go get me a drink slave!" Joked Blaze.
"Yes my master!" I joked back while leaving the dance floor.
I approached the concession table that the school had set up next to the doors leading into the dance.
As I began to pour Blaze's drink someone knocked on the door.
I quickly put down the drink and danced my way to the door.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
I slowly grabbed the doorknob and flung open the door.
When I saw who stood in front of me, I stopped dancing like a moron and my eyes widened in complete shock.
Shadow's POV
Silver was the one to answer the door. He's so shocked it pretty funny.
"What's up Silver?" I asked.
Silver looked around to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Then he looked into my eyes and tried to replied to my question.
"Shad…ow?"
"It's ok Silver I know, I told you I don't die easy. May we come in?" I asked the stunned hedgehog.
Silver moved aside and let me and Shade pass without saying a word.
I held Shade by the hand and looked for Dark. I found him sitting by himself facing away from us.
"There he is Shade." I said while pointing at him.
"Let's go." Replied Shade in joy.
"Stay here for a sec Shade. I want to talk to him first. I'll wave for you to come over." I replied.
"Don't keep me waiting." Stated Shade.
I smiled and approached Dark from behind. I slowly rested my hand on his shoulder.
Dark's POV
"Tails, I told you I didn't want to dance." I said without turning to look at him.
"Why not?"
My eyes widened at that voice. There's no way in hell. I began to shake. I Slowly turned and to my surprise it was who I thought I'd never see again. His eyes are pure crimson and his face was just like mine. My brother.
"I thought you'd be happy to see me." Stated Shadow.
I began to cry in complete shock. I smiled as wide as I could as my heart sore through the
sky.
I instantly jumped at him and took him by surprise. I squeezed as hard as I could and I was never going to let go.
"You fucking asshole! I thought you were dead!" I yelled as I began to cry on his shoulder.
"I told you I would see you again brother. I hope you didn't lose faith of my promise while I was away." Replied Shadow calmly.
"I was beginning to! You left me for three months! Three months without a brother! Three months alone! Three months without anyone by my side! Three months full of pain and sorrow. And now you come back thinking everything's ok! Do you have any idea what I have been through without you in my life!" I asked in anger.
"I know it was hard and I'm here now to make it up to you Dark." Replied Shadow.
"There's nothing in the world you can do to repay me! I'm just fucking happy your alive!" I shouted while still crying on his shoulder.
"No there is. She's waiting." Replied Shadow.
"Who?" I asked in confusion while lifting my head off his shoulder.
"Your old trainer." Replied Shadow as he waved to someone across the dance floor.
I let go of Shadow and he rested his hand on my left Shoulder.
I watched as she approached us in the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. How did Shadow get her to wear that? Her smile was gorgeous. Her body was amazing. Her hair was magical, as she stared into my eyes. On her dress was a red rose. A rose. A rose will greet me. Is this what Shadow meant?
Shadow smiled and began to walk away.
She approached me and gently took my hand.
"I thought I'd never see you again Dark." Said Shade.
"Shade…wow. You look amazing." I stated.
Shade smiled and started to turn me towards the dance floor.
"Do you want to dance or talk?" Asked Shade.
"Shade, it would be an honor to have a dance with you." I replied.
Shade smiled and slowly escorted me to the floor.
We settled on the edge of the floor and began to dance.
"How are you and my brother here?" I asked her quietly.
"Shhh…Dark, we can talk about that later. Until then how about you shut up and show me how you feel about me being here with you?" Replied Shade.
"I'm amazed you're here but I have so many questions to ask…!" Shade cut me off.
"Shadow set this up as a thank you gift for his only brother that he has complete trust in. He allowed me to come by his side to this occasion Dark, and I agreed so I might be with you again." Stated Shade as she held me close.
"Does that mean you like me?" I asked.
Shade smiled and replied.
"You may have always been training, but I never hated you, and Dark."
I looked into her eyes.
"I love you too." Said Shade.
I couldn't believe those words came from her mouth. I smiled back and moved in for her lips. We connected lips and began to kiss. It was even more passionate then when Amy…!
I stopped kissing her and she looked into my eyes.
"What's wrong?" Asked Shade.
"Ahhh…nothing. I just can't believe this is happing." I replied trying to cover my ass.
Shade smiled and we continued to dance.
"I'm so dead. I forgot to tell Shadow about me and Amy. Shade going to kill me as well now that she's here. What the hell do I do?" I asked myself.
Shadow's POV
I smiled as Shade and Dark kissed. Looks like that's one couple dealt with.
I slowly looked around the room and noticed my love Amy Rose sitting at a table all alone and crying with her head down. I knew I waited to long to come back home.
I slowly walked over to her table while at the same time drawing the attention of all my buds. Who watched me in anticipation. I approached Amy's table and sat down across from her as quietly as possible.
"Shadow…"I heard her mumble under her tear filled moans.
I let her continue.
"I miss you Shadow. I wish you didn't have to die. It's all my fault your gone." Said Amy to herself while moving her hand out towards me gently.
I rested my hand on hers as calmly as possible and whispered.
"I missed you too Amy. It's not your fault I was hurt. It was my fault."
"Shadow you don't understand, if you wouldn't have….!" Amy stopped and immediately looked up at me. I gave her a warm smile and waited for her to continue.
"Shad…Shadow!" Screamed Amy in full on tears.
Amy stood up instantly and tackled me with a harder hug then what Dark gave me a few minutes ago.
"I thought you were dead!" Yelled Amy
"I got that from Dark and Silver." I replied.
"Where did you go! Why did you leave me!" Asked Amy.
"I'll explain that to everyone later, right now all that matters is that I ask this question." I replied.
"What?" Asked Amy in confusion.
"Do you still love me?" I asked calmly.
Amy looked at me with shock and replied.
"You've been gone for so long and I missed you everyday non stop! I cried day in and day out morning for you to hold me in your arms! Your the only person in my life that I have ever felt this way about Shadow. Of course I still love you, I will always love you no matter what happens! Do you still love me?" Asked Amy.
"I've been gone for three months and everyday I missed you with all my heart. If it wasn't for Shade, I would have lost hope in our love together, but thanks to her I didn't and I don't know how many time's I have to tell you, but as long as I'm alive I will never stop loving you." I replied.
"Who's Shade?" Asked Amy.
"After I found help and I was stable, Shade took care of me for the amount of time I was gone, I will admit this now Amy. During those three months with her we did get close. And everyday that past I lost more and more hope on me and you being together. She kept me together and I will admit sometimes it did get romantic between us. We kissed and we want out to dinner sometimes to celebrate my recovery, but no matter what happened I tried my hardest to always believe we would be together. Me and her agreed not to date, I didn't want to break your trust because I knew you would do the same for me. She's Dark's closest friend and she's dancing with him now as a couple. I'm sorry Amy if I upset you by what I did." I replied.
Amy looked into my eyes and began to kiss me. Once she stopped she looked backed into my eyes.
"It's ok Shadow, I understand. You must have been confused and I will admit I was lost when you left and I made some mistakes…!" I cut her off with another kiss.
I looked into her eyes and she began to cry on my chest fur.
"How about a dance?" I asked.
Amy smiled and looked into my eyes.
"I'd love one." Replied Amy.
I smiled and she got off me quickly. I slowly took her by the hand and all my friends smiled and moved aside to let us reach center floor. Once we were set, the DJ put on a special slow song just for us and my brother.
"Welcome back Shadow! I hope this song make's your hearts sore!" Shouted DJ Mrs. Simons.
I smiled and everyone but me, Amy, Dark, and Shade left the floor for us.
Mrs. Simons played My Destiny by Donna De Lory. I held Amy by the waist as she smiled into my eyes. I can't believe this is happing. I was expecting her to have found another boyfriend by now and I could have sworn she was going to kill me for kissing Shade, but she understood. This is why I love her, and I know nothing can stop our love.
Dark's POV
I held Shade by the waist as Shadow and Amy did the same. I'm so happy they still love each other and at the same time I'm so scared at the thought of telling him about what we did. And even more scared about how Shade would react. I don't know what to do. I'll tell them after the dance, but I hope he'll be fine with it. The last thing I need to hear is he hates me for it.
Shade's POV
I thought I'd never hold his shoulders again. I thought I'd never be here. I thought I'd never be able to say the words to him. I love Dark the hedgehog and it's only thanks to Shadow that we're together. I know for now on Dark will never leave my side, and I know he'll never hurt me. I love him so much.
Amy's POV
I don't know what to do about me and Dark. Shadow needs to know before it's too late. I love him and he was able to admit about Shade. I need to tell him.
Shadow's POV
The song finally came to a stop and everyone cheered and clapped for us. I smiled at Amy and we walked off the dance floor towards our pile of friends and there dates. Dark and Shade were right behind us with the same amount of happiness as us.
"Shadow!" Yelled Tails as he hugged me tightly.
"Hey bud!" I shouted as I rubbed his head.
Tails chuckled and let go of my waist.
"What happened Shadow? We saw you blow up?" Asked Knuckles.
"Call it luck I survived but thank Shade here. If it wasn't for her I would have lost everything." I replied while introducing Shade who was holding onto Dark's hand.
"Where are you from?" Asked Silver.
"South End. That's where I took care of Shadow." Replied Shade.
"South End! What were you doing there?" Asked Silver while looking at me.
"It's complicated but I'll tell you guys later. Me and Amy are going to leave early so we can...catch up." I said while looking at her with a small smile.
Silver winked at me and I smiled back.
"Yeah me and Shade are going to be going too." Said Dark.
"Are you sure?" Asked Tails.
They both nodded and started to leave the dance hand in hand. I took Amy's hand and waved goodbye to all my friends.
"Where are we going?" Asked Amy.
"We'll go to your place. Come on, I have my bike parked out in the lot." I replied.
Amy agreed and I escorted her to my bike. I waved goodbye to Simons and the rest of the teachers and when we finally reached my ride I sat her on and she took my waist tightly.
I quickly pulled out of the lot and drove as fast as I could to Amy's house.
Unknown POV
"Shadow's such a easy person to follow, I swear this is going to be too easy once his spoiled rose tell him her little secret." I said to myself.
I looked down next to my leg at my rifle. I quickly checked the clip and it was full and ready to fire.
"Shadow won't know what hit him." I said to myself while preparing for his arrival.
5 Minutes later
I pulled onto Amy's curb and carried her to the front door. She giggled and unlocked the door. I kicked open the door and used my other leg to shut it when we were completely through. Once it shut; I ran us up to her room and placed her on the bed gently. Amy looked at me as if she was nervous.
I slowly took off the top part of my suit. All I had left was my pants.
Amy smiled and I moved in for a passionate kiss on the lips. Amy laid herself back on the bed as I got on top of her warm body.
Amy's POV
Shadow was into the act and he began to kiss me like how I kissed his brother. I was nervous and getting scared the longer I kept it from him. I can't let him have sex with me until he knows the truth.
Shadow began to slowly take of my dress and once it hit the floor he moved my underwear aside just as slow. He continued to kiss me and he slowly made his way to my neck. God was he good at this.
Once he thought I was ready, he stood up off me and took off his pant's and dress shoe's. Shadow grew over the past three months, in height and in how sexy he looks. I was so overwhelmed by the new him.
Shadow then took of his boxers and got back on top of me. He continued to kiss my neck and I could feel him slowly try and guide his way in.
I had to stop this! I yelled to myself.
I immediately pushed Shadow off me and he fell back into the wall with force.
He looked at me in shock.
"Amy what the hell was that for!" Asked Shadow in anticipation for my response.
I looked at him with scared eyes and tried to come up with a starting response.
"Shadow…I need to tell you something."
