So it seems as if everyone really likes this story! I'm so glad :D I like where it's going. Enjoy chapter 3!
As soon as the family arrived home, Amy ran to her room. She locked the door and jumped on her bed with the diary in her hands. She was excited to start writing down how her last few days had been. Amy loved to write. Nobody knew that. She didn't think it was that exciting to tell. When she began writing, her imagination had no limit. Nobody can stop her. She wrote her dreams that seemed impossible to accomplish. She wrote whatever her heart wanted to say but can't be heard.
She opened her pen and started on the first page. She wrote the date and her name. She made sure her bedroom door was locked so nobody would interrupt her. She hated that. She would lose all focus and she would not feel like writing anymore. She sighed and began writing.
Dear Diary,
This is my new diary. I will be writing here pretty often so expect some lame stories about my life or something. Anyway, let me tell you a bit about me. My name is Amelia Lynn Rose. Don't tell anyone about my middle name. I go as Amy because it sounds normal. I am 17 and I have no parents. Birth parents to be precise. I never knew what actually happened to them but I've been told they died in a car crash. I believed it. But I was never 100% sure it was true. Anyway, I have a history of having a lot of foster homes. But, I escape around a week or so. Why? Well, I never have a purpose to stay. If I have no purpose I move on. Until something can keep me occupied, I will always run. But I have another reason why I don't stay. I'm scared to get attached. When you get attached to something, it's your weakness. It can be easily taken away from you once the wrong person knows what it is. So, I prefer not to get attached. That way, I don't get hurt and neither does the person or object. Wait…objects wouldn't care if they got hurt. Unless they have meaning. Ugh ignore that! Also, with my history of moving foster homes, I am currently staying in a big mansion with an amazing family. I have 3 foster brothers! I'm kind of scared because I can already feel myself getting attached. It hasn't been a week yet. My foster mom wants me to stay but do I is the question. My 3 brothers are awesome. Silver is more of the extrovert and very upbeat. He loves making new friends and he's so understanding. Shadow is more of an introvert. He likes to be alone and doesn't talk much. But he has a sweet smile when he does smile. But that's rare. Sonic is somewhat confusing. He's nice. He's kind of cute I guess. But he's different compared to his brothers. I just can't figure what it is that makes him so different. Well, I think I've written enough. I'll write again soon.

Amy closed her diary and hugged it. She missed writing. She stopped for a while because she's always wanted to write on something that would be hers. Sure, she had papers and pencils provided from her other foster homes but it wasn't a journal. She placed her diary under her pillow and got off from her bed. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was 7:35 pm. It was early yet she was somewhat exhausted.
"I don't know what to do…what can I do around here?" Amy asked herself. She quietly opened her door and peeked her head out. The hallways were empty. She quickly got out of her room and slowly closed the door behind her. She went downstairs and stopped. She thought back to the house tour Silver gave her. A certain room had caught her interest. She looked to her left and right.
"I know it's on the left but what door?" Amy mumbled, looking at 5 doors from the hallway. She closed her eyes and tried to think. The first 3 doors were guest rooms. The 4th one was a bathroom. Which meant the last door on the right was definitely the room she was looking for. She walked up to the 5th door and opened it. Her eyes widened along with her smile.
"Yes! I found the library!" She cheered, applauding.
"Shhh!" A shush was heard, making Amy freeze.
"Oh my gosh. Who's there? I have a hammer and I am not afraid to use it." She said, making her hammer appear.
"Amy it's just me." Shadow rolled his eyes. He came out from a certain shelf section.
"Shadow? What are you doing here?" Amy asked, putting her hammer away.
"I live here." He replied, nonchalantly.
"No freaking kidding Sherlock." Amy responded.
"What are you doing here?" Shadow asked back.
"I live here." She smirked.
Shadow chuckled. "This is one of the places where I know my brothers won't annoy me. I love my room but I love the library better."
"I didn't you would like libraries. I mean, I can see why. I love reading. Books give that sense of escape and freedom you know?"
"Exactly. I'm the only one who comes here. But it seems this place finally has someone new." He smiled slowly. He then returned to his usual serious face. He held his cheeks, rubbing them.
"Does it really hurt?" She laughed.
"Yeah." He responded.
"Well, if you want, I can leave." Amy suggested.
"No, don't. I was about to leave anyway. You enjoy some alone time here. I'll see you later Amy." Shadow waved, walking away from the room, closing the door behind him. Amy sighed and walked around the library. For a small room the library seemed very much big. She scanned every shelf looking for any books that caught her interest. After a few minutes, she finally found a book that caught her eye.
"Where the road takes me? This sounds nice." Amy said, sitting on a chair. She began reading the introduction. Before she knew it, she dozed off away from reality and into the book. Little did she know that hours had passed. She was halfway through the book but her eyes were no longer able to stay awake. She dropped the book and fell asleep.
A few minutes after Amy fell asleep, Shadow walked in. When he couldn't sleep, he would go to the library and read until he fell asleep. But he was startled when he saw Amy fast asleep on his favorite chair. He smiled shortly and slowly walked up to her. He picked her up bridal style and walked out of the library. As he was making his way up the stairs, he could have sworn his heart almost came out of his chest.
"Shadow? What are you doing with Amy?" Silver asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Taking Amy back to her room. She fell asleep in the library and I didn't want her to be uncomfortable. Why? Is there a problem?" Shadow asked.
"No. I was just wondering. I mean, its 11 already. What are you still doing awake?" Silver asked.
"I wasn't tired. You know I go to the library when I can't sleep." Shadow replied.
"I know. Well, be careful with Amy. I'm going back to bed. Night bro." Silver waved, walking back to his room. Shadow nodded and headed towards Amy's room. He gently placed her down on her bed and placed a blanket over her. He quickly walked away, closing the door behind him.
"Back to the library." He muttered, walking away.
Amy woke up earlier than she usually did. It was 7 am and she would still be asleep until 10. She sat up and yawned, rubbing her eyes. She looked around her surroundings and realized she was in her room. But she clearly remembered she was in the library last night. A thought came to her mind and she smiled.
Shadow must've taken her to her bed. It had to be him. Only he knew she was there. She changed into black jeans and a red tank top with her black sandals. She let her quills down today but she placed a red headband to keep her bangs in place. She then ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and freshen up her face.
Amy then walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs, into the kitchen. She took a cup from a cabinet and opened the fridge. She took out a carton of milk and poured a bit into her cup. She then took a long sip and sighed of relief. After she finished her milk, she washed her cup and stretched as she walked towards the front door. She silently opened the door and noticed a few kids with backpacks walking in the same direction where she assumed school was.
She sighed. Today was Monday. Sonic, Silver, and Shadow were probably gone already. But Aleena was still home. What was she supposed to do for a whole day? She closed the door and walked back to her room. She closed the door and sat on her bed.
"How easy it would have been for me if I just went to school. But I can't…not yet at least." Amy spoke, looking at herself from her mirror a few feet away from her. When she looked at herself from the mirror, she saw a scared and vulnerable teenager who was afraid to let people in. She was scared of getting hurt. But it's not her fault for being who she was to this day.
She took out her diary and laid on her stomach. She took out her pen and opened to the next page. Amy then began writing.
Dear Diary.
Well, I have 4 days left until I decided whether I should leave or not. I still haven't found a reason for me to stay but what my mom told me that day at the store really stayed in my head. Maybe my purpose is to make someone happy. But who? I don't know what change I could do for this world but I like the idea of making someone happy. Which is a bit admirable because I can barely keep myself happy. When a week has come, I actually hope I've found something that will let me stay here. I'm really loving my family. Who would have thought having 3 brothers was actually fun? I know I didn't. I'm currently home. Alone I think. Today is a Monday so my brothers are at school. I wish I could start school. I've never been to school and I am very much in need of an education. I've had tutors in math, science, and English and I've excelled pretty well. I just wonder when I'll use the knowledge I have. I'm bored diary. I want to do something but I don't know what. I barely know the city and I don't have any friends. I've never had friends. I doubt I ever will. But who needs friends when you yourself? I've always had myself and I've been happy. Friends will only hold me back. Okay…Okay I actually want friends. I want to talk to someone that will understand me. I know I have my mom and foster brothers but first of all…I am not really comfortable talking to my mom yet. My brothers are well, boys and what do boys know about a girls feelings? I need someone my age and a girl of course who understands me. Maybe when I go to school someday I will find a friend like that. In the meantime, I don't mind only having myself for a while. Anyway, I think that's enough for today.
