I watched her walk by. Trying not to stare, but that was almost impossible. I force myself to look away, because we're only friends. But still she always comes to me when she's sad or upset. When she's bored she calls me to hang out. But mostly after she's been with blue, crying because he doesn't notice her. Even after she never gives up, but why? How can she go on like that while he breaks her heart day after day. That's what I always thought. I think I know how she feels now, to love someone who doesn't love you back. And believe me you don't want to give up, really. Just that little chance that the person loves you too gives you hope and power to live on... One day faker came to me...

'Hey Shadow!' Sonic calls. I turn around and see him running towards me.

'What!' I growl.

'Can I ask you something?' he says stopping in front of me.

'No.' I say and I start to walk away.

'Come on Shadow its important!' he says stepping in front of me.

'Fine, what's the problem?' I say with a boring tone.

'Well, it's Amy I-I don't know how to tell her.' he says soft.

'Tell her what!' I was getting angry, I wanted to punch him, kick him, but I didn't. Because if I did my friendship with Amy would be ruined, but then he said something I didn't expect...

'T-that I don't like her the way she does towards me. I just don't wanna ruin our friendship.' He says. I couldn't bring out anything. 'And you are gonna help me.' He added.

'Wha-why?' I say confused.

'Because I know you like her.' He says with a grin.

'I don't!' I say hiding my blush.

'I know enough.' He says and in a second he's gone.

'I wish I knew what he's up to.' I thought. I spend some time thinking about it at the beach. 'If he really doesn't like her more than friends...' I say to myself. A small smile appeared at my face, but disappeared as I thought that she maybe not sees me in that way. 'I mustn't think so, after blue tells her she will go look to other people too.' I thought. I don't know how long I sat there thinking, but it was getting dark. Then I heard a voice behind me.

'Shadow?' a sweet voice says. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

'Hi Amy.' I was surprised by the tone of my voice. It sounded kinda...sad. She sat next to me pretty close I must say. My eyes fell on the two roses she was holding. A red and a...black one. 'From who did you get those?' I ask.

'From Sonic...' My heart skipped a beat I think when she said that. 'He had to say me something.' She says. Silence followed.

'Well?' I say almost whispering. All power in my voice was gone and I knew she noticed, but didn't say a thing.

'What do want hear first? The good thing or the bad thing? She says.

'Just begin with the bad thing, then you have that of your shoulders.' It took me a lot of effort to say that sentence without sounding too weak.

'Sonic told me that h-he doesn't like me more than friends.' She says in one breath. 'But the good thing he told me was that someone else likes me... Someone I like too.' She says soft.

'Who?' I almost breathed, not getting anymore sound out of my mouth. I feared the worse.

'Someone who remembers me of these roses...' she smiles to me. My ears perked up and I throw a glance at her. She was blushing furiously.

'Wha-really?' my voice was completely back. She nodded and leaned towards me. Me now blushing too leans in too. We're just an inch apart and we stare each other in the eye. I decide to close the gap and place my lips against hers. I don't really know what to do know now so I wait for her to start kissing and soon I copy her. I notice that she had wrapped her arms around my neck and I slip my arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

'I love you Shadow.' She says after we ended the kiss.

'I love you too my rose.' I say pulling her into another kiss.
