Concealed Secrets (Shadow x Reader)

I left his room,feeling like my whole world had been crushed. I wasn't his own little girl. Everything's a lie. He adopted me and never told me. Now I have so many questions. Who are my real parents? What could've happened to them? Who am I really?
So many questions,yet no answers to them. I went back to my room,grabbed my bag,a piece of paper and a pen and began to write a little note to everyone in the base.
"I've gone to search for my birth parents. who knows if they're out there? I'm sure we'll meet again. For now,I'll see you all later."
I stuck the note on my bedroom door and slung my bag over my shoulder. I made sure I loosened my plait. I took one more look at myself in the mirror. Make that I was looking at the old me. I turned away from the mirror and walked to the window. I sighed and looked back at my bedroom door before opening the window and jumping from it,landing on my feet without losing balance. I brushed off the dirt and walked along the muddy path all the way to the city. The city was bustling with people,all with someone they loved. They looked happy and took no notice of me. I guess that's normal. I would always walk into the city and smile,looking at how happy the people were,even if they ignored me. I heard someone mention my father and the things he's done in the past,and it had me in tears. Thinking back,he has done some awful things. And those things were done to protect me. To keep me happy. I fell on my knees,tears falling and hitting the ground.
Why did this have to happen to me? Just why? It's not fair. They kept going on about what he's done and why he hasn't attacked lately.
The tears didn't stop falling,and soon,I wasn't crying,I was breaking down,right there in the street. People turned to me,their facial expressions looking like "Is she ok?" .
One person with brown hair and blue eyes walked over and held out his hand. Or was his hair orange? I can't tell.
"Is something wrong?" He asked me,holding his hand out.
I looked up at him and took his hand. I smiled slightly as he was the only person who seemed like he cared for me. Everyone else ignored me,while this boy.. He had something about him I liked a lot. The fact he cared for animals even if they talk.
"Only the death of my father.." I replied. "it's been an hour.. A few friends said he'd caught some kind of illness they didn't know about.."
"That's awful!" He had a ton of sympathy in his voice.  "Say... What's your name?"
"(Y/n).." I replied. "And you are?"
He smiled. "Christopher Thorndyke. People call me Chris for short!"
Father had told me about this boy,but never about his kindness towards others.
I smiled warmly. "Nice to meet you."
He shook my hand.
It's amazing how the daughter of an evil genius.. Well.. Adopted daughter of an evil genius could find a friend that easily. He took me back to his house,there,Sonic was there. He was with Avril and Lucia. The 3 looked at me.
"(Y/N)?!" They gasped in shock.
Sonic ran to me. And gave me a hug.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
Tears formed in my eyes. "It's my father.."
"Who,Eggman? What happened?"
I sighed sadly. "He died earlier.. He told me to tell you he said it was a pleasure having you fight him. He hated you outside the base,but when he was inside with me,he desperately wanted to be your friend.."
Tears formed in my eyes.
I just want him beside me. Is that too much to ask?
