The west side

A little relapse

A tired groan escaped the coal colored hedgehog and he awoke from his shallow sleep. His normal hard appearance was compromised by his messy quills as he got up from his bed. Wasting no time, he made his way to the bathroom, closing the door behind him. He turned on the shower just before he removed the remainder of his clothing. His mind starting wondering as he stood in the shower. The absent of noise coming from rouge and knuckles meant temporary peace for the gang leader, peace that he so desperately needed.

His mind flooded with the words that Amy spoke the night before. He needed time to pick apart many of the stories that Amy had told him sense many were incomplete or missing important details that he needed. He needed time to talk to her again but that would have to wait. He had many errands to run and he didn't have time to keep an eye on her.

The silence he was enjoying came to a abrupt end when her heard the familiar voice of none other then rouge the bat arguing with the hot head echidna.

' there goes my peace and quiet '

He let of a small sigh before turning off the hot water. He wrapped his waist in a white towel before opening the bathroom door, letting the steam roll out.

" hurry up rouge I don't have all day !" Knuckled yelled. The longer he waited for the other bathroom the faster his temper rose. But it was only normal for rouge to take a Ridiculously long time to get ready, and the more you rushed her the slower she seemed to go.

" I'm almost done !" She announced as she continued to put in her makeup in a slow manner.

Once the gang leader finished drying off he quickly got dressed and fixed his quills back into his signature look before walking out into the hall way.

" keep it down out here ! " he snapped as he adjusted his pants.

Hearing the coal colored hedgehog rouge opened the door and shot knuckled a cocky smile before making her way to black's side.

" morning! " she smiled as she licked her finger and fixed one of his quills that was out of place.

~ Amy's POV ~

Sleeping was the last thing on my mind. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get my mind off the mission, on how I was going to kill him. Would I sneak up behind him ? Would one bullet be enough ? Where would I aim? The heart,The head ? Would I get him alone first ? Would I kill him today or wait a while ? If not today How long would I wait ? Could I even do it ?

Maybe I'm just over thinking it.

I sighed and threw the blankets off me. I heard banging as well as yelling, Something about a bathroom. I sat up and picked up my phone checking to see if any calls came from sonic. I guess he must be busy because he didn't even text.

"Knock it off rouge." I said as I pushed her hand away from me. I'm not some kid and I don't need help fixing my quills that's for damn sure.

" So what are we doing today ?" She questioned as she ignored my last comment.

" well i have to run some errands. " the last thing I want is rouge to tag along.

" what are you going to do with ..Amy. " she said as she rolled her eyes.

" dropping her off at the safe house until I need her again. "
