FOURTH CHAP UP! PLZ R&R! :)
With Sonic..-
'Oh, Amy… Do you know how much you just hurt me?'
I walked away, I felt horrible, I took the piece of paper and shoved it in my sweater pocket. I decided to run to clear my mind, a run anywhere would do.
'Maybe I'll go back to the field, yea, that should help me…' cheering myself up wouldn't work this time. I ran, as fast as I could to get there in as little time as possible. Reaching the field in a matter of minutes I stood at the same rock my heart had felt stabbed … and sat on the nearest fallen tree.
"Damn!" I punched the ground. Crying and sobbing loudly and furiously wiping away the tears and snot. The hot liquid on my glove made the air chill it but I didn't care. I knew I had waited too long, she probably found someone else.
'Damn.. What the hell, did you do, Sonic?' my thoughts piped up.
"I lost the only girl who had time to love me and care for me. What do you THINK happened." I argued back.
'Hahaha, wise guy, I'll tell you what I THINK happened," my thoughts paused, "You respected your asshole friends more than the only one who would care for you the way YOU ARE-'
"Uh, I KNOW THAT. Chaos, I thought a conscience was supposed to help with the unknown."
'Listen, pal, STOP INTERRUPTING ME, and listen to yourself! You're angry! And taking it out on any one else is bad on your part, have some respect for yourself!'
My thoughts were right, regardless of how much I wanted to stop thinking, I couldn't, I was always thinking wondering how Amy was, what she was doing with her life since… me, and decided too late to confess my love.
'Almost FOUR MONTHS you waited. That's enough for her to have a crush and for someone to crush on her! Idiot!' my thoughts jeered, disgusted by myself AND my thoughts for being right. I was being too blind to notice, but now, it was my turn to move on.
"I just never thought… That I would really lose her."
...
-With Amy-
Amy wondered if what she did had been right, setting her purse on the coat rack along with her green beret and coat, Red had still been sleeping, it was only 11. She couldn't just sit around here until, 4:30... So she called Shadow up to reschedule the date for ASAP.
-riiiing, riiiing, riiiing-
Hello ?
Shadow? It's Amy.
Oh, Hey, Ames. Good morning.
Good Morning to you, too!
Don't you have work around this time? Do you have a break?
That's what I was calling about.
Oh, what happened?
Nothing bad! I just called in a - sick day.
Soooo?
Do you think we could reschedule the date for 12:30?
-rustle, rustle.- The sooner the better, ill be there in about an hour ok?
No problem ! If you want you can hang out at my house for lunch?
Uhm, sure, if you don't mind. I don't really need to eat,-
Oh…
But I never said I wouldn't eat for you : )
Oh! Well, ill see you later..?
Yeah.
*click, click*
'Well that was easy… Now to start some lunch and clean up the place.' She thought.
She went to the fridge to find the Italian left overs from last nights dinner. 'Aww, Red brought left overs. I guess this'll do.' She took out the food and placed double portions on one plate, sprinkled some water over the food and covered it with plastic, and set it in the microwave for about 10 minutes.
She left he kitchen area and went to the living room, and swept the floor and mopped. Dusted the bookshelf and the television. Rearranged the couch to a corner of the room and the television across from it. All in 8 minutes. She was used to having company over so she got accustomed to preparing things like this early. The microwave beeped and she went to thoroughly wash her hands before checked the food.
"Ah! That's really hot!" She squealed dropping her fork and sucked on the tip of her index finger. Red shocked by the sound ran to the living room groggily and shouted.
"I LIVE HERE I SWEAR!" Her arms stretched and up over her head. "Oh, Amy. Wait, AMY? I thought you had work!"
"Uh, yea… about that.. I'll explain over dinner! Promise!" Just then Red had checked the clock and scampered to her dresser, taking out blue jeans and a black blouse, a black head band with a black daisy on the left side, and literally JUMPED to the shower.
"uhm, oooh kayyy?" Amy took the food out of the microwave carefully and separated the food onto two separate plates. She checked her phone and by now he'd be on his way, he lived on the opposite side of the station, and as you know, traffic jams occur VERY often. Regardless of the hassle, he still liked to walk around and enjoy the scenery. Even on the UGLIEST of days. He wasn't lazy by using Chaos Control, that's how people get mad at you for getting there to quick, hmm, words to live by.
By 11:30 she received a text message from an unknown number… Her stomach tensed and her legs shook.
MESSAGE RECEIVED.
# +3565432:
HEY AMES. ITS SONIC.
-SONIC
'shhhhhhhhhiiiiii-' She thought mouthing the word then getting another message from Shadow.
MESSAGE RECEIVED.
SHADOW:
HEY ROSE. :) I'M DOWNSTAIRS. CAN YOU BUZZ ME IN?
-SHADOW
ILL BE RIGHT THERE! :)
-AMY
I went to the intercom and clicked the button for the apartment door. I opened my front door to wait for him but didn't wait long as he had just appeared out of thin air in front of me.
"eep!" She squeaked her heart jumping out of her chest for a minute and recollecting her self in a quick breath. "Chaos you scared me…"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so eager to meet up with me." He grinned barring his fangs a bit and cupping his hand on her chin. This made Amy blush FURIOUSLY. She shook her head from his grip and invited him in.
"Y-You can sit on the C-couch…" She stammered a little nervously.
"Thank you, Rose." He took off his sweater and placed it on the coat rack, "You know…"
"Y-Yes?"
"You look marvelous today."
She stood wide eyed and red, "I.. uh.. I mean, I don't look too different, so uh today's not different… HEY YOU WANT TO EAT NOW BEFORE THE FOOD GETS COLD?" She tried her best to change the subject and she rushed over to the kitchen. 'Ah, today is TOO weird for me!'
She went for the plates and got two forks, but went over to the fridge and got out some lemonade and to the cabinet and reached for two cups. As she turned around with the empty cups and the container of lemonade hanging by her thumb, she bumped into Red, wide eyed and confused.
"Amy… Do you know that Shadow is in the living room…?" she asked with a perplexed face, moving her glasses up above the bridge of her nose.
"Yes, I very well know who enters and exits my house, Red. It's fine we are just catching up." I tried moving past her but once again she stops in front of me.
"I remember that dream you told me about. You better be careful Amelia Rose!" She warned with multiple sweat drops, flailing her arms like a four year old.
"Yes, Mommy." She chuckled walking past her and out the kitchen door to the dining room placing the cups and juice on the table, followed by Red with the two plates of food.
"Oh, and I'm heading' out today! Noah is taking me to see the University he attends!" Literally, HEARTS were drooling from her eyes. Score one for Amy.
'CHAA!' She thought to herself showing her prowess in match making by a very sly grin, "Well, be careful, I'll give you some money for food or snacks. Make sure you take your keys and your phone is charged, remember, call or "text if you need anything." They finished together.
They laughed, seeing as they ended the sentence together when Shadow had entered the dining room. "Oh," Shadow and Red's eyes met, "Hello, Miss. I'm Shadow."
He extended his hand for hers and she followed, she allowed him to kiss her hand and release it to her. "I'm Red, a pleasure, I'm sure?"
"The pleasures all mine." He postured more to seem taller but his attempts failed seeing as Red was 5'8''. Amy noticed this and giggled, "Well, Red, you wouldn't want to be late! Take a $20 from my purse on the coat rack and your keys!"
"That's right! Bye, Amy!" She sideways kissed a farewell to Amy and simply said good bye to Shadow. With that she left and Amy and Shadow were left to enjoy their lunch before the Ice Rink.
Shadow must've turned off his phone because there was a long buzzing sound and he placed his phone into his back pocket. Amy had left her phone on the kitchen counter so she didn't worry about it, taking a sip of her lemonade; decided to break the ice.
"So, Shadow," She paused watching as he stopped eating and looked up half way. "How's life? Do you still work at the mall? What's changed?"
"Oh, well yea still at the mall. Life is life, Hahaha, and it seems nothing important has changed with me," He wiped his mouth with the napkin and started again. "How's everything with you?"
"Same old same old, I work at Macy's now and I have roommate, though."
"Ah, that girl you acted so motherly over? She looks old enough to take care of herself. It's very like you to do something so chivalrous." He continued eating.
"w-well, thanks, Shadow."
The rest of their meal went in silence, Amy washed the dishes, Shadow cleaned the table, dried the plates and placed them in the respectful cabinets.
"Ready to go, Amy?"
"Sure!"
