Shadowed Love
I
couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She
felt it everyday.
And
I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
Amy Rose yanked her shampoo bottle off the shower rack, this song always bothered her.
What's
wrong, what's wrong now?
Too
many, too many problems.
Don't
know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
Opening the bottle she inhaled the fruity scent before vigorously rubbing it through her quills. She hoped the song would finish soon.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Amy quickly rinsed and shut the water off, she grabbed the nearest towel to begin drying herself.
Open your eyes and look outside, find a reason why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
After this last line she angrily pulled the radio's plug out of the wall-socket. She felt tears in her eyes as she slowly sank to the floor in her bathrobe.
"Why does that particular song describe me right now...?" she sniffed as she wiped away the tears.
She slammed her fist on the wall. "Why does it remind me of him?!" She called aloud.
Because he left me... her mind told her. Shadow...
She pulled herself off of the floor and put some clothes on. The radio still remained unplugged until she decided to correct that. A Linkin Park song was now playing and as much as she liked it, it only reminded her more of him. His eyes, the way they stared so seriously into her own, his hidden smiles that only she could see and his smooth deep voice. Amy clicked the radio off again in frustration. "Why can't I stop thinking about him?! Where is he?!"
She opened her apartment window and poked her head out. "Shadow! Where are you?!" She yelled out and into the streets below.
The response she received only saddened her more, barking dogs and angry people yelling at her to 'keep it down'.
Feeling defeated she shut the window and plopped down on the couch with the remote, but she didn't feel like watching anything.
This is how it had been for her over the past few months.
Flashback
"You can't do this to me again..." said a desperate Amy Rose. "Why would you leave again...?"
"He's still out there Amy... he shouldn't be able to claim any more lives..." Shadow said, staring intently into her eyes.
"You're not taking revenge... are you? He wouldn't want that..."
"No, Sonic wouldn't want that and I'm not, remember, revenge failed for me the first time."
She cringed, even now, months later saying his name still bothered her. "But, what if..." she broke into angry tears. "I wouldn't even have the will to live if I lost both of you!"
Shadow said nothing this time; he only pulled her closer, allowing her to gently sob into his shoulder. "You don't need to worry; I promise I'll return to you."
"Shadow..." Amy sighed and sniffed back the tears.
The black hedgehog gave her hand one more squeeze. I love you... he whispered before he pulled away.
"Chaos Control!"
End Flashback
Amy smiled at the memory yet at the same time she felt a great sadness. What if something had happened then his promise would be broken... She hated waiting like this, she was sure she'd be driven crazy but that wasn't her only option.
She had been pushing it away hoping it wouldn't come to this but it seemed bleak. Maybe she should just continue on with life and stop waiting, maybe she should give up...
A soft tapping on the window snapped her out of her inner thoughts. "Shadow...?" she said hopefully.
Her hope was shattered when she said Turbo Velocity standing on the outside sill. He rapped on the window again, not sure if she was really looking at him. Amy got up and opened the window, glaring at him.
"Did I come at a bad time?" Turbo asked. Amy turned away from him in a huff.
"I thought you were Shadow," Amy growled. She turned on her heel to look at Turbo with a direct, condescending glare, "Why aren't you out there helping him?"
"I had no clue he was on another mission," Turbo said, lifting his right hand and twisting it, the metal of his gauntlet gleamed as the sun hit it at different angles, "Alright, where did he go?"
Amy didn't know how to answer him, for several seconds she stood there trying to figure it out. "I think he's gone after Metal Sonic... but he promised he wasn't getting revenge!"
Turbo raised an eyebrow. "Amy... are you sure about this? You never know with him."
"I know him; he wouldn't do that, if anything he would be defeating Metal Sonic to save the world." She said strongly.
"I see... I think I can help you, Amy. I have some idea of where Robotnik's base is located."
"Do you really?" she asked, her eyes shining.
"Uh huh, I can go and check it out of you want..." he prepared to jump of the window but Amy quickly grabbed the end of his cloak almost choking him in the process.
"Good plan, but how about we add me into it? There is no way I'm being left behind a third time!"
Turbo could barely answer her for a minute as he gasped for breath. "Fine." He said at last.
Amy jumped around in excitement. "Yay!" She squealed.
"But." He added causing her to stop. "Only if you promise never to do that again..."
Amy smiled and held out her hand. "It's a deal." She said grabbing his hand to shake it in agreement.
