Chapter 1 - Karma POV

I slowly opened my eyes to the bright light flooding through my bedroom windows. I reached over to the nightstand, grabbing my phone in hopes to find a message from Liam or even Amy, but nothing.

A million thoughts rushed through my mind, from Amy to Liam and everything that had happened with the two of them the night before.

How could Amy have kept these feelings from me for so long? I was her best friend after all!

And Liam, why was her so upset? He should be flattered that I liked him enough to go through the troubles and frustrations I went through to be with him!

Could my friendship with Amy ever be repaired? I can't believe how much I had hurt her when I told her I loved her, but not like that. I don't know if she could ever forgive me for ripping her heart right out of her chest.

I say up slowly, trying to decide what to do. I looked down at my crumpled dress and my make up stained pillow.

"I had to fix things with Amy," I thought as I recalled last night, our dance, her toast, her confession. She meant too much to me to let her go.

I got up quickly and walked to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror I saw my puffy, mascara smeared eyes. I sighed before undressing and getting into the shower.

In the shower, all I could think of was Amy and how much I had hurt her. All I could see was the look of pain and betrayal on her face after I told her I didn't love her more than a friend, after I told her I had slept with Liam. How could I have done this to her?

"I truly loved her, more than I could put into words, but only as a friend," I told myself.

As I got dressed, a photo if Amy and me caught my eye. Seeing her beautiful smile made a smile spread across my lips. She could light up a room with that smile. She made me feel whole, I could be myself around her 100% of the time, I never had to hide when I was with her. I never felt this way with anyone.

"God, I loved her. But just as a friend...right?" I shook the thought from my head. "No, no, no. It was just best friend feelings. This is just how everyone feels towards their best friend. Right?"
