"Karma?" I called as I walked through the halls. Karma had called me over with an emergency code red text. Whenever there was a Code Red you knew it was an emergency, and whenever it was an emergency you knew Karma was sitting in the bathtub eating twice her weight in chocolate frosting.

I entered her bathroom and sure enough Karma was sitting neck deep in bubbles with a spoon smothered in chocolate frosting firmly in her hands. Her eyes were red as if she'd been crying and her eyeliner was running down her cheeks. I walked over to her, taking the spoon from her hands and setting it back into the container, "What's wrong?"

Karma's eyes suddenly filled to the brim with tears, "Liam cheated on me"

I suddenly saw red. How could anyone cheat on Karma? She was the epitome of perfection from her smile to the way she devoured chocolate frosting when she was upset, everything about her was beautiful. I knelt down beside the bathtub and took her hand in mine, staring into her eyes, "I will chop his dick off." I said in all seriousness.

Karma erupted into laughter and smiled, "Please do…" She stopped for a moment and looked away from me, "Join me?"

My eyes widened, "In the bathtub?"

Karma nodded and let out a giggle, "I'm wearing a bathing suit, it's safe and I see one under that blue shirt… Have I ever said blue is your color?"

"It may have been mentioned" I said as I pulled off my blue shirt revealing my bikini top. I was at the beach with Shane when I received Karma's panic message, trying to tan so I wouldn't look like a ghost. I pulled off my shorts and stepped into the bathtub, sinking in across from Karma.

"This tub can fit two people" Karma noted as I adjusted myself against the cushioned back. I nodded and she smiled in response, "I want to be upset about Liam cheating but a part of me is glad"

"Your glad he cheated?" I asked in surprise. Liam and Karma had been head over heels for each other the past three months.I had managed to accept their relationship and had even moved on from the thought of us being together. Karma was everything I'd ever wanted and I had finally gotten to the point where she was just a friend again. Three months. The longest three months of my life were over.

Karma sipped on the glass of champagne next to her, "Now I know that we aren't meant to be. When Aunt Sage read my tea leaves she said that there was someone standing in the way of my true love and I, remember?" I nodded and she continued, "I thought it was you standing between Liam and I but…" She paused, looking me in the eyes.

"But what?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Karma was being strangely vague and slightly alluring. I could only imagine the plan that she was concocting in her mind.

Without any more words Karma leaned in, her eyes locked on mine, and she smashed her lips to mine. I was stunned but soon wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me. She ran her fingers through my tangled hair before wrapping them around my neck. She was glued to my body just as I was glued to hers. Our breathing was quick, uneven and broken, three months of waiting had led to this moment. And that's when it came to me… Three months of waiting and those feelings were still there but my availability wasn't, I was with Reagan.

I pulled away, my heart and my mind at war, "I can't kiss you"

Karma frowned as she released me and backed away, "Reagan"

"I'm sorry, Karma." I released my hands from her waist and locked them with her hands, "I don't want to hurt her"

Karma nodded, "But I love you"

My heart dropped but my mind quickly picked it back up, "I've loved you for months now… But I'm with Reagan."

"Amy, I want you to know that this isn't a phase. I'm in love with you, I know I wasn't before but-but I feel it" Karma scrambled for the words, "I don't know when or why or how but I'm in love with you"

I stood up and stepped out of the tub, covered in soap. I grabbed the nearest towel and wiped myself free of the suds, "Liam just cheated on you. You're confused, c'mon, you need a girls night"

She reluctantly got out of the bathtub and into her pajamas without any further words. She crawled into bed with a cup of tea as I put in our favorite movie, Mean Girls and got into bed next to her. Within seconds she was curled up next to me, sobbing her eyes out about how heartbroken she was. I rubbed her back, kissed her cheek, and coddled her throughout the movie though every fiber of my being was telling me to kiss her.

She eventually settled down and watched the movie before she began to drift off to sleep. As her eyes were fluttering shut she looked up at me, "I love you, Amy. Whether you choose to believe it or not, I do. More than a friend. I know I didn't reciprocate the feelings when you wanted me too… but I do now"

"I love you too" I whispered before her eyes shut. And I did. I loved her more than Mr. Krabs loved money, more than Pooh loved honey and more than Brad loved Angelina but I couldn't tell her that. It'd taken me over three months to escape the hold she had on my heart and I was finally happy with Reagan. And she'd be happy too. One day.
