Ever since Amy's father left his wife and daughter, falling asleep wasn't a piece of cake anymore. Amy wasn't scared of the dark, she was anxious. Every night her father would sit on the bed and read her bedtime stories till Amy drifted off to sleep. He'd wait a few minutes just to be sure his beloved daughter won't wake up feeling like she's alone in a dark room. Then he'd kiss her on the forehead, whispering: "Goodnight, baby."
It wasn't just a meaningless routine, Amy still feels the consequences.
Now she had Karma, her best friend. Karma knew they are going to be infinite when Amy kicked some boy's butt in second grade because he was constantly pulling Karma's hair while she was on a swing. She couldn't imagine that she is going to be the one who will protect Amy, after all the times Amy had done the same for her.
They knew everything there was to know about each other, except one thing. Karma didn't know Amy was in love with her and vice versa. Still, both of them tried their best to keep their friendship intact and their feelings hidden.
"Are you home?" Karma's text arrives exactly at midnight, just like every night since Amy told Karma her secret.
"Yeah , waiting for you." Amy immediately responds.
In a few minutes, Karma comes climbing on her window, being careful not to wake up her mom Farrah, her new husband Bruce and the new step-sister Lauren.
Karma enters sucessfully into Amy's room and chuckles at the sight of her Garfield pajamas. She responds by playfully slapping her shoulder.
"I can almost hear you thinking from here, it's distracting. Let's get you to sleep with my magical voice you're so fond of", Amy lets a nervous laugh, hoping Karma won't see her through.
They lay together into Amy's bed, Karma leaning on the headboard with Amy's head on her chest. Karma's fingers get lost in the blonde girl's hair, gently playing with her locks.
"Close your eyes. We're going to Italy", Karma instructs, not knowing Amy's already prepared to lose herself in her stories, curious about their trip.
"I have never seen so many people that want to pee themselves on one place", Amy says after the two of them entered Gardaland, a famous theme park in Italy. Karma's giggles fill out the air. Amy's never failed to make her laugh.
"Well, let's hope we won't have to undress you after one of the rides." Karma winks and Amy just mumbles: "You wish." Karma does, but doesn't say anything.
Amy pulls the map out of her pocket and asks Karma which ride will be their first. Amy knows Karma's terrified of heights, but if she wanted to see the best of Gardaland, she'll have to beat it. They both agree they will go on a ride where most of the people scream. Five minutes of walking and they ended right in front of Raptor, a dinosaur themed ride.
Amy pulls her best friend by the arm, but Karma just stays frozen in place.
"I'll be holding your hand the whole time, I promise." Karma feels safer and lets Amy take the lead to an entrance.
It's a wing coaster so there are 2 seats on each side. Karma and Amy sit by each other's sides, not wanting to break the promise.
As soon as the train left the understation from which they departed and droping down at the vertiginous speed, Amy's almost crushed hand makes her regret the promise she made.
Karma and Amy learned a new thing about each other. Each of the girls didn't know that the other knew that many profanities. Those rollercoasters really get a lot out of people.
After numerous flips, corkscrews, sharp turns and twists, girls' legs felt like jello. Their breathing picked up like they've ran a marathon, the adrenaline not wanting to give their hearts a break.
"That was terrible, let's do it again!" Karma chirps. Amy says that they willl, after they check out some other rides.
When they got off the train, they went to check the camera which was filming during the ride. At the sight of two of them on a screen, Amy started laughing uncontrollably.
"You look like you have a dick in your mouth", she barely managed to say it.
"Ew, not really into that", Karma smirks, leaving Amy standing with her jaw open.
"Come on, buttface. Let's see how you deal with some falling", Amy grins, not noticing Karma's flushed cheeks.
After some walking and taking pictures in hillarious poses, they finally arrive in front of tower that reached more than forty meters up in the air. The free fall ride was called Space Vertigo.
"I'll kill you", Karma's threat only makes Amy laugh.
"Not if this kills you first." Before Karma manages to punch Amy, the blonde quickly hugs her from behind, supporting her chin on shorter girl's shoulder. She immediately felt Karma's body relaxing.
"We're in this together?"
"I wouldn't want it any other way."
When both of the girls found their seats and got secured, they started to go up the tower slowly.
Amy had never witnessed a view so beautiful. She glances at Karma. Seeing her so scared and vulnerable just made her love her more. That sight made her breathless.
Suddenly, they stop moving and all Karma manages to say is: "Oh shit."
It dropped them down in a few seconds from more than a 40 meter height.
When they got off the ride, Amy was barely standing and barely breathing.
"Amy? Are you okay?" Karma didn't get a respond.
"Amy, just calm down. Deep breaths." But Amy's body couldn't listen, her bright green eyes fixated on Karma's.
"I can't, I ca-", Karma crashes her lips into hers. A barely audible moan escapes Amy's lips when she feels a brush of Karma's tongue on her lips. Just when Amy was about to deepen the kiss, Karma breaks it off, her eyes still clouded and glued on Amy's plump lips.
"Whoa", Her voice comes out stronger that she thought it will be.
"I know. Must be the adrenaline", Amy tries to find an excuse, yet she's not sorry about anything.
While Karma was hoping Amy won't notice the fastened pace of her heartbeat when the blonde girl snuggled closer, Amy was hoping she'd only fall deeper into sleep, not into love with her best friend.
