*~~~~~~Ch 16~~~~*
"Sonic? What are you doing here?" Amy asked surprised that he returned after the rejection of his kiss.
"Well, you see…"
"Sonic?"
"Shadow, let sonic talk."
"Fine…" Shadow grumbled.
"Anyways…I'm divorced."
Amy and Shadow gasped. They weren't expecting these kinds of news.
"Why?!" Amy shouted.
"It just wasn't working out."
"Oh Sonic….I thought both of you looked…Nice together."
"Gee, thanks."
"Would you like to come inside?"
"No, it's ok. I have to go to my place and do….Stuff. Bye."
"Yeah…Bye."
Amy sighed as he left. Shadow saw from a room and looked away sadly. She still loves him, he thought. He went out telling Amy he was going run a few laps. He was really going to the park where he met the hedgehog of his dreams a couple of days ago. Star saw him and ran up to him. Shadow's heart raced.
"Hey…I saw you a couple of days ago haven't I? Hi, how are you?"
"I'm…Fine.."
"Why aren't you with your girlfriend?"
"How do you know I have one?"
"I saw you with that pink hedgehog. She's pregnant. I hope you too have a great life together." Star said a bit sadly. As she was leaving, Shadow stopped her.
"Wait! Umm, I have a problem…"
"What?"
"Well, you see, my girlfriend still likes another guy…I thought she loved me, but now I know she doesn't love my anymore. I need your help."
"What? To gain her back? Look, I'm not a miracle working and you are not using me-"
"No. No. I mean, help with finding out what's wrong with me…Why did she stop loving me? Am I pathetic?"
Star smiled, she to felt something for him. She took his arm and led him to the swings. Both sat on one. Shadow blushed, so did Star. Star faced him and said, "Nothing is wrong with you. I know that. And it's weird because I just met you."
Something ringed in her pocket.
"Uh-Oh. I have to go. Bye!" Star turned around and left. Shadow sighed and left too with a broken heart.
"Keith! Keith! Open the door. I need to tell you something!"
"What?"
"You opened the door. Finally."
"What did you want to tell me?"
"I. Got…..Divorced! Isn't that great!? Now we can be together forever!"
"Really? You got divorced? That is great! But I don't know about the forever part."
"Huh?"
"Look, babe. This relationship isn't worth it. I decided to separate….You know…Break up? I have my eyes on another prize which is much bigger. She is worth fighting for."
Sally backed away from his doorway and shook her head slowly. Tears welled up in her eyes, she gulped and said, "It can't be over….It can't….It just can't! You can't do this to me!"
"I can and I will." Keith shut the door behind him and grinned.
"Who is it?! Who is it?!" Sally shouted knocking the door as loudly as possible.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you…."
"Tell me or I swear I will-"
"Fine fine.. Remember I asked you about a certain person's house…Where she lived? You even showed me her house. You even said she was your 'friend'. That girl is the one I will be fighting for." Keith went to his room. Sally stood outside shocked at the answer.
"Amy?" Sally whispered…. "Amy? That does it. First you stole my Sonic now Keith?! You will pay Amy Rose…You will pay…"
Sally wiped away her tears and headed straight to Amy's place
