*~~~~~Ch5~~~~*


Sonic was running over Station Square. He was getting out all the stress out by running. Why would Amy date Shadow? I mean, what does he have that I don't? Did Amy really give up on me? Oh Amy…Why am I suddenly thinking of you? What is wrong with me…? Sonic thought.

"Look out!" Somebody yelled.
"Wha?"

Suddenly Sonic clashed with somebody going the same speed as he was. We can all guess who it is. Sonic and Shadow landed far apart from each other. Shadow landed near a bench while Sonic landed on a car. People stared and started talking. Gossiping if that's what you would like. Shadow shook his head and stood up, Sonic rolled over and fell to the ground.

"Would you like an ambulance?" Somebody asked.
"Umm….No," Sonic got up, "No, I'm fine."
"But you're bleeding."
"Hmm?" Sonic felt his forehead and felt something warm and sticky on his fingers. Blood. He quickly looked at Shadow and he was bleeding too in the nose.
"Well? Would you like medical help?"
"No, thanks anyway."

Sonic ran from the spot to a chili dog stand nearby. While he was eating his chili dog, he saw Shadow walking by. Sonic gulped it all down and ran toward him.

"Hey Shadow."
"Sonic?"
"Umm…I-I'm sorry I bumped into you."
"Uhh…I forgive you?"
"Soo…Why were you running like that?"
"Like what?"
"So fast."
"Oh, I was going to see Amy."
"Oh…Was she home?"
"No, I think she's still with Sally buying the dresses."
"Cool."
"Why are you being nice to me?"
"Because…I…"
"You?"
"Amy is dating you of pity."
"What?"
" I mean c'mon. She likes me."

Shadow growled turned around and punched him straight in the gut. Sonic fell to his knees and started gasping for air.

"Amy can love me. She doesn't need to chase you around anymore. Remember, she gave up." Shadow turned around and walked away.

Sonic hugged himself and started crying. He didn't know why, but the thought that Amy gave up on him hurt him He couldn't even bare listening to those words. He wanted to deny something. Something that he would never imagine feeling. Love. True love. Not like the love with Sally, but a very sweet love. For Amy.

"Oh…I hate you Amy. Why did you have to go?"

************************************************** ***********

"So I heard that Sonic is marrying Sally."
"Yup"
"What do you feel?"
"Are you accusing me of feeling jealous?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, I don't feel anything. Really"
"I believe you"
"Thank you Rob." Amy hugged him.

Rob came into Station Square knowing that sally and Sonic were going to get married. Rob wanted to comfort Amy in case she was going to go nuts, but know he didn't need to do that. Rob was Amy's older cousin, He was light blue.

"Amy?"
"Yeah?"
"You love Shadow."
"Yes, I do."
"I hope you two will be happy"
"Me too."
"You think you two will get married someday?"
"Maybe…Just maybe…"

Suddenly Shadow popped out of nowhere. He took Amy's arm and said, "We need to talk."
"Shadow! I would like you to meet my cousin Rob."
"Hi."
"So you're Shadow! Nice to meet you."

Shadow just nodded his head.

"What do we need to talk about?"
"Come with me."
"But Rob!"
"Don't worry about me," Rob said, "I'll come by your house later." Rob left.

Shadow took Amy to her house and both walked inside.

"That was rude."
"Look Amy. I need to know something,"
"What?" Amy growled.
Shadow sighed, let go of her arm and turned around.
" Are you dating me because you pity me?

Amy gasped. Shadow waited for an answer. Amy walked to his face and slapped him hard on the face. Shadow was a little shocked.

"Who gave you that stupid idea? I would never do something so horrible!"
"Would you do it for Sonic?! Would you do it to make him jealous?!"

Amy stood still, she looked the other way. Amy cried silently.

"No…Shadow, I love you. I'm being serious. Sonic…He's my past. Why won't you believe me?"

Shadow hugged her, "I'm sorry Amy"
Amy kept crying, "Who told you that? The pity thing?"
"Sonic."

Amy's eyes widened.
