A/N I haven't written in a really long time but i've had a lot of Faking It feels lately and this idea just kind of popped into my head. Let me know what you guys think? Don't be to harsh if it's horrible? lol. Thanks! First chapter kind of short but the next one will be longer.
Amy Raudenfeld was going about her normal routine when it arrived. She had just gotten home from working the over night shift. She walked through the door, greeted Rex, her German Shepard, took off her gun and badge and began sorting through the mail that was sitting on the kitchen table. As she picked up a small white envelope she recognized the handwriting on it immediately. When she realized the content it held she felt sick. She wished she never opened the damn thing. She should have known better. As soon as she saw who it was from she she should have just ripped it up and tossed it in the trash. She hadn't spoken to either one of them in over four years.
It had only been a week after graduation when she decided to leave. The eighteen year old had used all of her graduation money, plus her entire savings to buy a cozy one-bedroom apartment in New York. Not long after that she enrolled in the police academy. After the academy she joined the NYPD. She wanted to get as far away as she could from Texas and the life she had there. She didn't think she'd ever go back, well at least not anytime soon.
Sure she missed her family, but Farah and Bruce visited pretty frequently. Even more so now that Lauren had decided to make the move to New York as well. She had fallen in love with the city during her visits, just as Amy thought she would. It took a couple years of convincing but eventually her stepsister transferred to NYU to study acting. Amy hadn't even thought of Texas in a long time, and then this arrived.
Amy Raudenfeld,
Liam Booker and Karma Ashcroft request your presence at their wedding.
Sat. June 3rd 2015 at St. Mary's, 809 Greenwood Road
Austin, Texas
Liam and Karma were getting married, and they wanted her to be there. A million thoughts were running through her head. Why did Liam invite her after she'd abandoned him? Did Karma know? Would Karma even want her there? She just stared at the invitation for a few minutes, before picking up her phone and dialing the one person she needed to talk to.
"I was wondering when I'd hear from you." Shane answered in his usual cheerful tone. "I'm guessing you got your invite?"
"You knew and you didn't tell me?" Amy snapped. Shane was one of the few people Amy actually kept in contact with from home. He knew why she had to leave and he understood.
"I'm sorry!" He exclaimed. "He didn't even tell me he was inviting you until like two days ago."
"Still, a heads up would have been nice." She sighed. "Why did he invite me anyway?"
"Do you really have to ask?" Shane asks with a sad tone. "You were his best friend Amy, he still asks me all the time why you left without even saying goodbye." Amy lowers her head for a minute, feeling guilty. She really never meant to hurt him.
"I know that." She answers quietly. "What have you told him?"
"Just that you needed a fresh start." He pauses for a minute before continuing. "I think you should go." Her head quickly snaps up at this.
"Are you fucking crazy?" She screams. After everything, the blonde couldn't believe he would even suggest that. "I can't!"
"I think you owe him that, don't you?" Again that feeling of guilt began to creep up. Shane was right. Liam had been her best friend since kindergarten. After the incident she left and never even bothered to even call him back. She should at least go and talk to him. She shouldn't have avoided him this long. He didn't deserve it. There was just one problem.
"What about Karma?" She asked, her voice cracking as soon as she said her name.
"Well you can either deal with her, or avoid her as much as possible." Her best friend explained. "But I think it's time the two of you talked as well, don't you?"
Amy thought about it for a few minutes before shaking her head to herself. Dealing with Liam was one thing. She would explain to him that things were really overwhelming and she was dealing with personal issues. He would be upset that she didn't come to him. There'd be tears, but he would forgive her. That's just who Liam was.
Dealing with Karma on the other hand was not an option. She'd be polite, make small talk, and then leave right after the wedding. No way would she risk being alone with the girl who broke her heart.
"I guess I'll see you in two weeks" With that Amy hung up the phone. She made her way to the bedroom and quickly began making preperations to return home.
