Amy's POV
I clear my throat, preparing myself for the speech.
"Um Love is a many-splendored thing.." The look on peoples faces says it all
"Um I suck at giving speeches. So I'm gonna try speaking from the heart. Mom, Bruce, you're lucky. You've fallen in love with your best friend," my eyes scan the crowd, locking on to Karma "the person who accepts you at your worst, the person who laughs at your stupid jokes," I throw a small smile her way "the person who knows you better than you know yourself. I would kill for that. I mean, wouldn't we all?"
Then is see him.
Liam Booker.
Great. I've just officially hinted at being in love with my best friend, the straight one, who seems to still be with Liam fucking Booker. I run up to my room, not being able to handle being in the same room as them.
I sigh and pace back and forth. I hear the door opening and know straight away its Karma.
"This really isn't a good time for constructive criticism"
"I think I know why you get so upset every time I bring up Liam" really? She's really going to bring that up now?
"You brought him here? I saw him crawl out from under the table like a cockroach."
"He showed up. I didn't invite him, I swear." Yeah right.
"I thought the two of you were done. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because every time I talk about him, you flip out-
"No, I don't." I cut in.
"You're doing it right now. And I think I know why."
"Trust me, you have no idea." She really doesn't.
"Amy, do you have feelings for me?" Oh. Shit.
"What? No. Ew."
"I can tell when you're lying."
"Oh, really? Because I've been lying ever since we kissed at the homecoming assembly."
"You've had these feelings for weeks, and you never told me?"
"I was afraid I'd lose you."
"You could never lose me. Look, this is no big deal. Right now, you're just confused, and-
"No, no, I'm not. I know you felt what I felt during the threesome - when we kissed." I cut in again. I'm not confused. I'm a lesbian. I know what I want.
"Amy."
"There's a spark between us. You can't deny it."
"Was it hot? Yeah, but-"
"At first, I didn't want to have these feelings either. They're scary. But they're scary because they're exciting, like bungee jumping, and I know you've always wanted to try that." I was panicking and going into full rant mode.
"Please, don't..."
"Karma, step off the edge with me. Everyone already thinks we're lesbians. Let's let's give the people what they want." I plead
"Stop!" She shouts, only then do I notice both of us have been crying.
"I love you." My voice cracks, tears choking every last word
"I love you too, Amy. More than anyone else on earth. Just not like that."
And those were the words that broke me.
