I have fallen in love with this new show "Faking It" on MTV. So I'm trying my hand at a new fanfiction. Hope you like it! Read and review please. Constructive criticism is wanted just not to harsh. I am a member of the Karmy Army! So all my stories will reflect that. If you do not like it, move on. Hope you enjoy! Unfortunately I do not own this show, but if I did, the finale episode would have ended much differently. Anyway on to the story! Enjoy!

"Why Now?"

Chapter One

"How do you tell your best friend that you are in love with her? How do you tell her that she is all you think about? What if I tell her and she runs away? What if she doesn't want to be my best friend anymore?" I asked Shane. "Nothing is certain Amy. You don't know the answer unless you tell her the truth. She deserves to know how you feel. For all you know, she feels the same about you." He was right. I had to swallow my pride and just tell Karma the truth. "Thanks Shane. I will call you back later. If I don't do this now, I may never do it." I hug up the phone and texted Karma:

-can we talk? I need to tell you something.

-sure. sounds important.

For the next 10 minutes I rehearsed what I was going to say. Every word that came out of my mouth sounded so stupid. What was I doing? I can't do this! My heart was pounding, my hands were sweaty. Suddenly my bedroom door was opened and in walked Karma. "Hey," I said a little startled. "Hi, what's wrong? Your text sounded really serious?" It was now or never. "Yeah, I need to tell you something." "What is it? You're not pregnant are you?" "What?! No! Gross!" "Good. What is it then?" "Karma, I love you!" "I love you to Amy." "No Karma, you don't understand. I think I'm in love with you. No, I know I'm in love with you. From the moment I kissed you at the homecoming assembly, something inside just clicked. I thought maybe it was just you but then I saw Oliver and kissed him, but I didn't feel anything. It wasn't the same as kissing you. I'm gay Karma. I like girls." My heart was pounding. I felt my whole body shaking. I sat on the bed next to her. I took her hand in mine. "Every time we kiss, I feel the electricity run through my body, the butterflies flutter in my stomach. I can't think straight, literally. You are the love of my life. I'm sorry I never told you how I really felt. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I felt as if my insides were going to explode if I didn't tell you. You are my best friend above anything else. Whether you feel the same for me or not, just know that I will always love you. You are and always will be my best friend." Karma let go of my hand and stood up. "Why would you tell me this now? You should have told me weeks ago." "I know. I just don't want to lose you. You are my best friend." "I'm sorry Amy, but I don't love you that way. I think I'm in love with Liam." "Liam, I would give anything for you to look at me the way you look at him." "Amy, please. Stop. I'm sorry but I have to go. Liam is waiting for me." "Right. I get it. Whatever. Just go." "Amy, don't be like that." "How do you expect me to act? I just bore my heart and soul to you and the only person you care about is Liam. Why did you come over if he's waiting for you?! I've been waiting for you for 8 weeks to tell me I'm not wrong! That you feel the same for me! 8 weeks Karma! And your still obsessed with Liam!" "I can't do this right now. I have to go." Karma walked out of my room. I follow her. "Karma, wait! I'm sorry, please don't leave! Karma!" I cry as Karma closes the door behind her. I run back to my room sobbing. I pick up my phone and text Shane:

-how fast can you be here?

-be there in 5

Shane arrived promptly in five minutes. I heard Shane enter my room. I hugged him and sobbed. "I take it, it didn't go very well?" said Shane after my sobbing subsided. "What gave you that idea?" I reply sarcastically. "I don't know, maybe the fact that you were crying like a baby when I got here. What happened?" "I told her the truth. I told her that I was in love with her. That she was the love of my life. I said to her that every time we kiss I feel electricity run through my body and that butterflies flutter in my stomach." "Wow!" "Yeah well turns out she doesn't feel the same for me. She said that she had to leave, that Liam was waiting for her." "What?" "Yeah. I asked her why she even came then?" "What did she say?" "She just left. Said she couldn't do this right now and she walked out of my house." "I'm sorry Amy." "Me too Shane. Sorry I ever agreed to this whole faking lesbian thing. If I didn't, I wouldn't be in this situation. This sucks. My heart hurts. I think I've lost my best friend." "Karma will come around. Just give her some time. I don't think you've lost your best friend. And if she does decide not to be your friend anymore, you will always have me." "I know. Thanks Shane. I can always count on you." "Yes you can. But I have to go now. It's getting late. See ya at school tomorrow. Love you Amy!" "Ok. Love you too! See ya tomorrow."
