A Monster Stole My Heart

Rejected by Blue

"Ames, please, why don't you just understand that I don't want to be your boyfriend?"

His words burn my heart, I feel a big lump in my throat.

"I like you as a friend, there's no doubt about that, but I'm not into dating, I just..."

"Yeah Sonic, I get it... I'm probably just too darn annoying for you, so leave me alone!"

I grip my books hard as I shove past him down the long school hall. I bite my bottom lip hard, fighting the urge to cry, trying to be brave.

"W-wait Amy I'm sorry, okay! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! I-"

I hear his shout and I turn around, a bit ticked off.

"Just l-leave me alone already I know what you're going to say!"

I'll admit it, I sounded a little poutier than I thought it would be, but I turned by back on him and I stormed down the hall, shoving people out of the way as I ran. I felt hot tears streaming down my face, my hand quivering, feeling like I might drop my books. I accidentally run into someone and I get knocked back a little, staggering and I fall directly on my butt, dropping my supplies, only making my crying worse as I grunt in pain.

"H-hey, watch where you're going, damn you!"

I hear Shadow's voice and I look up, sniffling.

"I-I'm sorry Shadow... I didn't see you t-there..." I say, holding back the urge to rub my sore bum.

"Whatever, it's alright, why are you crying?" He says with the frown on his face as always. Without any hesitation, he grabs my books and puts them in my lap, kneeling down in front of me.

"It's nothing... I don't wanna talk about it..." I lie, wiping the hot tears from my pitiful face.

"I know your lying Amy, now what happened?" He said with a calm, soothing voice. I look into his crimson eyes, looking away quickly, not wanting to weird him out with a stare.

"It's truly nothing, I don't wanna talk about it," I demand, looking at him again. His deep red eyes catch me off guard, and I kinda stare a bit too long.

"Amy, please," He whispers softly.

"Fine, but can we talk about it in more of a quiet area than having to be stumbled over by a bunch of high schoolers?" I giggle.

"Yes, Rose. How about the library?" He smiles slightly, which makes me smile back at him. Huh? Shadow...smiling? Those two never mix together. Oy.

"S-sure..."

He stands up, lending his hand to me. I grip his warm palm firmly as he helps me up, and he doesn't let go of it until I'm standing straight. I grip my books tightly, sandwiching them between my chest and arms as I follow him into the library. Why does he want to know so badly? He doesn't care about people's feelings, and he's always an asshole to me, so... why is he suddenly worried over my emotions?

Shadow, you're making me over think simple things, you big doofus.
