Fleetway's thoughts or spoken words are written like this!

Shadow's POV

Rouge's body lays limp in my hands. Her body feels so cold and empty. The blood from her wounds is the only thing warm about her. I pick her up, and walk her to the couch. I pass Sonic, who is hysterically crying on the floor. He looks up and watches me.

I set Rouge down on the living room couch. I place her hands on top of her stomach, and close her eyes.

A girl that saved me from myself.
A girl that stood by my side for years.
A girl that I loved as my sister.
That girl is dead.

"Rouge, sleep well." I said quietly, and stood up. Someone is going to pay for this. And he's weeping in the kitchen.

Sonic's POV

Shadows feet are in front of me. I slowly look up at him, and he stares down at me. His eyes are filled with fire, and it takes me back to when we first met.

He was standing on top a broken machine, staring down at me. With a chaos emerald in his hand. That was the maddest I've ever seen him at me.

But this is worse.

He pulls me up by my quill, which hurts terribly. Then he throws me at the wall, and slams into me. I don't stop him. The tears keep falling out of my eyes.

"Look at her." Shadow said, and I keep my head down. He grabs my muzzle, and turns my head to the living room. I choke on my sobs; her lifeless body just sits there, alone.

"I'm sorry, Shadow...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it...I didn't mean it." I say to him, and cover my face with my hands as I cry.

"You let this happen, because you're weak. You let Fleetway in because you're weak! He's a part of you now. So that means you killed Rou...her. You killed her. " His eyes start to get watery.

He stands up, and walks out the back door. He must have thought about what Rouge wants. She wouldn't want us to fight like this.

I crawl over to her body, and don't look away when I see her discolored body.

"Rouge, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I know I am probably crazy, saying this when I was the one who ended your life. But I promise that I will do everything I can to control myself..."

I grit my teeth as I hear his voice come out of my own mouth. To me, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. He's going to pay..for Rouge...for tricking me.

Oh yeah? That sounds like a concrete plan, pal.

I ignore his comments and leave the living room. Rouge shouldn't be left alone, but I doubt anyone would want me and Fleetway around, even a dead body.

The fact of it is, no one wants me around. Eggman doesn't even try to provoke me. If Tails and them found out what I've done, then they would surely put me in a jail forever. Why haven't I turned myself in? Why hasn't Shadow called the police? Maybe it's a ray of hope in the future.

-

The water that hits my head was warm. About an hour ago. Now it is freezing cold.

Earlier you were saying there was a ray of hope. What is making you act like this? Fleetway teases me. I ignore him. If he doesn't get a reaction from me then he surely will stop.

If you didn't notice, I can read your thoughts.

God damn him. I slide down the wall of the shower. The wall is cold against my back, and almost stings. The toliet paper holder shines in the corner of my eye. I grab it, and pull it out of the wall with all my might. It easily snaps and breaks in the palm of my hand, cutting it.

The blood oozes out of my hand, and feels hot with the cold water hitting my face. My body is numb so I won't feel pain. I can easily cut myself apart with this.

You'll heal.

There has to be some way..to end it. To end this miserable life I live. For Rouge. For Shadow. I wanted their help, but all I did was kill one of them?

What foul person am I?

And if I cut myself...I'll only stoop to Fleetway's level of madness. I turn off the water. If I walk out of this bathroom, I will be a bigger person. It proves I am not crazy.

I resisted the temptation.

I take a step out of the bathroom, and pass out.

-

My eyelids feel heavy but I open them anyways. The room is pitch black, but the more I stare into it, the figures of dressers appear.

My body feels really warm. I realize that the heat is from the body lying next to me. It's Shadow. My breathing starts speeding up, and I turn my head to look at him.

He looks so mad. Why is he in a bed with me? Why am I freaking out? Did we...no Shadow isn't gay. And neither am I...?

Give me a god damn break, Sonic. You are the gayest being I've ever seen. Fleetway laughs, like a witch too.

But I don't ignore Fleetway this time. He might be right. This would be my chance to find out, right? If I kissed Shadow right now, and felt something, I think I would be gay

I hear Fleetway laughing hysterically.

Well, it will never hurt to try. I lean into Shadow, and when we are mere centimeters from our noses touching, I hesitate. And because I hesitated, Shadow opened his eyes. Before he could react, I slammed my lips onto his and hoped he would just let it happen.

I felt absolutely nothing. Well when I kissed him, but when he Chaos Controlled me into a wall, that hurt. A lot.

Ummmmm hi *hides behind my phone*
Welly well well I'm late on updating

It was updating and failing science for not turning in a huge project or doing the project so I had to do that.

Anyways I called this relapse because Sonic is starting to believe Fleetway again, oh boy that was fast.
But relapse isn't good, okay. My mom died 2 years ago because of it so I know how much it can hurt the people around them. Please think before you act (:

Have a fantastic rest of your day
