ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

Bringing Down The Hammer Chapter 17

My mind went completely blank and my eyes just couldn't process what was happening in front of me. The only thing I knew, was that Shadow was gently pressing his soft lips against my own. He had his hands clamped around my shoulders to hold me still while holding his breath. As for me, I stood there, my hands wrapped around one another in front of my chest completely paralyzed in that position. I don't even think I was breathing; I think I died for a solid minute in all honesty. When he finally broke off connection with me, his eyelids drooped while staring into my big round green eyes. He then turned on his heels and started walking away from me along the school's wall. He stop at the corner and leaned as if he was hiding from someone. I slowly made my way down to him, hanging my head and tightening my left fist. I then pulled back my lip revealing my gritted teeth and snapped my fingers. Out of thin air, my hammer plopped into my right hand. Throughout the whole time Shadow didn't bother to turn around and look at me. I lifted up my hammer high in the sky, and brought it down hard, aiming for Shadow's head.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TAKING MY FIRST KIIIIIIISSSS!?" I hollered out.

Shadow simply glanced over and stopped my hammer with his left hand. My expression was still coloured with fury and I felt my arms shaking, trying to beat Shadow's resistant.

"WELL!? Aren't you gonna answer me!? Do you think just because almost every girl wants you in this school, doesn't mean that I want you!!" I furiously blurted out.

Shadow hung his head then turned his face to my mad expression with a stern glare.

"A kiss doesn't mean that much. It's just people touching if you think about it." He said rudely, clearly not caring how I was feeling.

I took back my hammer and attempted to swing once more, but to his left side this time.

"Well I'm sorry mr.hotshot, but not everyone has the same opinion!" I said through gritted teeth.

This time, he grabbed the arm of the hammer and ripped it out of my grip. With his other hand, he grabbed my extended arm and pulled me close to his chest. I was speechless with the sudden action, and all I could do was look up.

"You need to calm down. I didn't kiss you because I wanted to, it's because I had to." He spoke in a husky voice and narrowed his eyebrows at me.

"What? What do you mean?" I pushed off his chest and created some distance between us. For some reason, hearing that Shadow didn't want to kiss me made a pit like feeling in my stomach.

He threw the hammer at me, which I effortlessly caught with one hand, and leaned against the wall. Wait, Shadow just threw me my hammer. How is that even possible? No one can lift my hammer besides me. Not even Knuckles and he's super buff!

"It's like what I said before, I will explain everything if you just calm down." He continued to speak in a assertive voice.

He was about to open his mouth again, but the school bell rang signalling that we should be heading to our next class. Shadow stared at the speaker that blared out the annoying ringing until it stopped. He then drew he's eyes onto me and just waited.

"What? You just gonna stare at me?" I coldly asked.

"The bell rang. Aren't you afraid of missing class?" He plainly spat back.

"I could care less right now. Explain yourself for kissing me and--and dragging me away from my Sonic." I pointed out into the distance with one hand, and the other on my hip.

Shadow scoffed. "Hmph, Sonic doesn't belong to you. He never did." He hissed back.

I winced at Shadow's statement and lowered my head. "You're right. Sorry."

There was a moment of silence before Shadow cleared he's throat and walked over to me, placing a hand on top of my head. I flinched at the action, but kept my head lowered. "Since you suddenly feel like a rebel, let's go for a ride somewhere." He lowly cooed.

I caught a glimpse of Shadow smiling in pity for me. I felt my heart flutter to see his smile.

"Sure whatever." I pouted.

"I'll even pay because I know you're a gold digger." He deviously half grinned.

He lifted his hand off my head and began walking away from me. It took me some time before I realized what Shadow said. My faced flushed with red as I sprinted at Shadow. "I told you not to call me a gold digger!"

I tried to punch him in the back, but he simply took a wide step forward, dodging my attack.

"That's the spirit Amy." He smirked and continued to walk.

For some odd reason, I wasn't as mad as I was before. I gently smiled and picked up my pace until I was walking next to him to the school's parking lot.
