Out of the Slump~Shadamy

Meeting with the idiot

Amy's pov

One week

Me: Hey Shadow, you wanna take a walk with me, after you're done with work today?

Emo: I'm tired today.

Me: Ok.

Two weeks

Me: Rouge invited us out to a club do you want to go?

Emo: I'm not particularly interested in clubs.

Me: Ya I know, just thought I'd ask...

Three weeks

Me: Why are you avoiding me Shadow?

Emo: I've just been busy.

It's been three weeks since Shadow dropped me off that night. Since then we haven't seen or spoken to each other through anything but text. I've spent these three weeks wracking my brain about what could possibly be wrong. Did I do something? Or was there just something going on with him that he was too afraid to talk about? I didn't realize how much I was becoming used to his company until he stopped gracing me with it.

Since that night I have gone walking every morning trying to clear my mind. Today I decided to take a different route than the one I usually take. There's this lake near my house that I used to go to all the time when I was down about something. But it's been a while...

My obsession with Sonic would often lead me to this very lake. A few days of praying that he'd love me back, turned into countless. It got to the point where I was here almost every morning. It's sort of funny. Things seemed to be changing but I guess nothing really changed at all.  I'm still sitting at this lake, alone, begging the universe to let me be happy for once. Like how I was three weeks ago.

One person seemed to shake my world and the second he stepped out it was like that light rumble became a devastating earthquake. 

I sat down on a bench in front of the lake and immediately I felt my sorrows start to weigh in. My eyes burn as tears well in them.

"Are you ok?" A male voice called out from behind me. I quickly turned around to make eye contact with a cheeky purple hedgehog.

"I'm fine, Toni," I answered in a not-so-pleasant tone. I still hadn't forgotten about his two-timing behavior. I hoped I had seen him for the last time when I bumped into him at Shadow's work, but the people I least wanted to see always seemed to be the ones that wanted to see me. 

"Oh really? Then why the long face and rosy cheeks, no pun intended." He gave what I would describe as a handsome grin if I wasn't aware of his terrible personality.

"None of your business." I responded, turning away from him.

"Well it may not be now, but you could make it my business." He starts to walk around to the front of the bench, "I've been told that I'm a great listener." He perches himself beside me.

"I never said that you could sit down." I try my hardest to force a scowl and intimidate him, but that's not working.

"You look like you could use the company, and sorry to break it to you sweetheart, but that frown is more cute than intimidating."

What is he a mind reader? I hate to admit it but I felt my cheeks flush at that comment, and the smug look on his stupid purple face only grew, due to this.

"What do you want?" I ask turning away from him.

"To help."

"I don't need your help."

"I beg to differ."

I let out a long sigh before turning around with narrowed eyes and bubbling annoyance.  "Look I appreciate the gesture but I don't need nor want your help."
