The Perfect Rose {A ShadAmy Story}

Chapter 12: Odd Feelings

Sonic's POV

I still can't believe I have to stay home in bed for 2 weeks! This is the worst things that could happen to me. I need to be running around doing something, not just sitting around doing nothing.

I heard a knock at the door and I shouted. "Come in!". It was Sally. It felt like I haven't seen her in ages. I missed her. She came up to me looking mad. Uh oh.. "Sonic tell me why you were at Amy's house." She said. "I just wanted to speak to her Sal." I said. "You know how I feel about you being around her. She will take you away from me and your all that I have." She said at me looking sad. "Awe Sal don't give me that look.." I said. Whenever she looks at me that way it makes me feel so guilty. I motioned her to come over and I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She smiled at me. Boy was I glad her being sad was over. "Just don't let me catch Amy being around you okay?" She said walking out. I sighed. What have I gotten myself into?

I tried to call Tails.. but he never answered his phone. He must still be mad at me. I still don't know what he meant by 'Call me up when the real Sonic comes back.' I've been the same old me for ages. What has gotten into him? Has Shadow done something to Tails behind my back? I just can't stand Shadow. He thinks he is so much better than everyone else because he is the Ultimate life form. My hands started to ache when I realized my fists were clenched. Man.. after that fight.. I've never felt so much pain before. You know, I wonder if this is how much pain girls feel when they're giving birth because this hurts like hell. All of a sudden I feel so tired and I just woke up.. I yawned and I fell fast asleep.

Shadow's POV

I went downstairs with my mind on edge. What was I thinking yesterday? I sighed. She reminds me so much of Maria.. she is kind, caring and most of all she is sassy.. even though Maria wasn't sassy but it's Rose's personality. Maybe I could give it a shot again..

Amy's POV

I woke up still having yesterday on my mind. What made Shadow want to do something for me? I shooked off my questions and did my morning routine.

A few months has passed and Sonic was all better and being Sonic again. Sally still hates me like I hate her and she still gives me lots of stink eye looks whenever I'm around Sonic. Rouge and I have been going on several missions. Rouge and Knuckles were on and off like usual. Blaze and Silver are finally dating. I knew they would get together someday soon. Well.. for Cream and Tails.. they are both still friend zoned but they both seem happy. As for Shadow and I.. well I suppose you can say we were best friends. Who knew we would have so much in common after all. Shadow seems easy to talk to and he seems calmer when I'm around according to Rouge. Shadow even said I can come by his house anytime I'd like to. I would of never expected him of all hedgehog's to say that but he did and I liked it a lot.

I did my usual morning routine and I chose to head over to Shadow's house. I mean I am able to come whenever I'd like to.

I knocked on the door but I got no answer. I put my hand on the door knob but I'm not sure if I should just walk in or not.. but it couldn't hurt if I did.. right? I walked into his house and it was unusually quiet.. even for Shadow.

I walked around downstairs to find nothing. Honestly I am feeling worried because.. Shadow and I are close.. I wouldn't want him to be hurt or anything. That's the last thing I want to happen. I went to the stairs and I see red marks across the walls. I took a closer look at it and realized it was blood. "Oh no.. Shadow!" I ran up the stairs desperately looking for him. I saw more blood and walked in it's direction where it show's even more. The blood had led me to Shadow's room. I slowly opened the door to see Shadow faced towards the wall, fists clenched and the wall was a total mess. He looked like he was in so much pain. I hate to see him that way.

"Shadow?" I said. I'm not sure if that was the best thing I should of said. He stayed put with his fists still clenched.

"Shadow.. can you tell me what's wrong..?" I asked with a pleading voice.

He finally turned around to face me. His hands were bare and full of blood and some really deep cuts. I tried grabbing his hands but he winced and pulled them away. I never thought I would see him this way.. it hurts me to see him like this and I needed to do something.

I ran down the hall and got a medical kit and when I came back Shadow had sat down on his bed staring at the floor. I slowly grabbed one of his hands, cleaned it and wrapped it up. I did the same to his other hand. Shadow looked at me with fear and before I knew it, he pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back.

"Thank you for being there for me Rose.. and I'm sorry you had to see me that way." He finally said. "Shadow I would do anything for you. You should know that." I said. He looked down at me with a smirk as he cupped his hand on my cheek. "You know I hate that mischievous smirk of yours." I said. "I suppose I'll smirk more around you." He said. My cheeks felt warm as he chuckled. Shadow is such a romantic.. but he's my best friend and best friend's don't date each other right? But I need to know if this feeling it mutual or not.

"Hey.. um Shadow.. can I ask you something?" I said. "Anything for you Rose." He said looking into my eyes. Ugh I hate when he does that. It makes me blush just as much as he smirks!

"Um.. do you like.. someone.. I mean like-like someone as a crush..?" I asked. His face remained emotionless until he spoke. "Why do you ask?" He said fully having his attention on me.

"I um.. no reason." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. "See ya soon Shad!" I said running out of his house as quickly as I can.

I wonder if he caught onto that.. maybe he did. God I hope he didn't. I can't bare with embarrassment again.. not like when I was younger and in love with Sonic. I regret even telling him I loved him then.. maybe Shadow is the same..? No, no, that can't be it. I know Shadow too well.. I think? I sighed. I'm over thinking once again. But I know it will keep coming back into mind even if I try to forget it..

Shadow's POV

I just saw Rose run out of my house. For some reason I was shocked to see her run out and leave.. but part of me was sad and confused. I sighed and shooked it off. Rose and I are close but.. why does it bother me? I sighed as I went to cleaning my house.
