When Karma was standing on top of the stage her eyes were glued on Amy.
Only a few glares towards Sabrina interrupted her gaze.
She heard every word the teenage bitch Sabrina said to Amy through the microphone on New Years Eve.
Her words were echoing throughout the big hall.
Everyone saw her and everyone heard her.
Karma watched carefully the expressions surfacing on Amy's face as she got told that Sabrina found out, or rather realized, why she wanted to fake questioning her sexuality to get closer to her.
Not because of being better than Karma but because she realized that she's had feelings for her ever since camp.
As she finished her speech in front of everyone with the spotlight on Amy and Sabrina, not on Karma this time, she begged her to give her a second chance.
Her hopeful look got rewarded right after it left her mouth.
Amy did not hesiate a second until she said a loud and clear "Yes!" simultaneously with a big smile.
Sabrina rushed off of the stage, jogged into Amy's arms and kissed her while she cupped her face.
Everyone cheered them on and clapped. Karma was still standing on the stage, giving them a weak smile.
Since the attention were on the both of them, luckily Karma thought, nobody would see the sadness coupled with dread in it.
She herself didn't know why, but the smile was not sincere even though she sincerly wished for Amy to be happy. Which seemed to be the case.
The crowd started to count down and Karma watched Amy as she got her New Year's Eve kiss from Sabrina.
Karma's band tuned in with the typical Auld Lang Syne when it was 00:00. But there she was up on stage but kinda frozen as she watched the scene with Amy and Sabrina.
It was when Amy embraced Sabrina turning her face to her and mouthing "thank you" that she finally begun to tune in the sound with a voice so strong but so soft at the same time.
Karma certainly didn't feel like a saint. But for once, once after a long while, she thought to have made the right decision. For Amy.
To not let her ego reign any second longer. Not in this friendship which means the world to her.
She has hurt Amy. She has hurt her so bad. Intentionally or not intentionally. That is not the question.
It happend. No well meant motives or anything similar changes that fact.
So she just let go. Even if it was just this evening. She let go of everything and after they were many minutes into the new year she got off the stage to find Felix, hiding in the crowd to not bother Amy and her Girlfriend.
She found him outside the building and apologized almost immediately.
She was so focused on resolving the situation with Amy and Sabrina that she totally forgot about Felix and his feelings for Amy. After all he was meant to kiss her at midnight and not Sarbina.
But he said that everything was alright and she knew it didn't really hurt him when he suddenly kissed her. Recently she kinda suspected that his feelings for Amy changed and kinda seemed to have shifted to her.
"Let go of everything.. even if it's just tonight" she thought, so she kissed him back.
It was no extraordinary feeling. Not a moment where you got taken aback and had to stop and wonder if this is reality or a dream. But it was nice and for this moment, it was some kind of soothing her.
It was short and after it Felix smiled shyly and his cheeks were a bit colored which was a nice view since he always seemed to be so neutral.
For that moment, going back into the celebrating hall was no option for her. She was tired and she wanted to get away. With Felix.
But her home went up in flames thanks to Diane. Going to Amy's home with Felix wasn't such a good idea either she thought.
"Can I stay over tonight?" she asked, catching him off guard.
"Woah.. Karma.. t-that.. um.." he stumbled not finishing what he wanted to say. He himself didn't know what he wanted to say actually.
His father was at a college friend over New Years Eve so he had the house all to himself. And soon to himself and Karma.
"No!" Karma laughed a little nervous at his prompt assumption which wasn't too far fetched.
"I just want to spend the rest of the night with someone... with you. Just being. Not doing anything. That would be nice after everything that has happend." she continued.
Felix nodded, he understood. But he didn't know that it wasn't her losing her house once again that was wearing her out.
And she didn't really know yet that it was Amy's happiness that bothered her to an extent which made her feeling like escaping, covering it with the excuse of being tired while not being sleepy one tiny bit.
Karma checked her phone. Amy still hasn't gotten her message.
Right now she's on the way to Felix.
They walk since his house is just like 20 minutes away, he said. It's a pleasant weather outside even though it's night and december.
It gets a bit chilly though when the wind blazes lightly from time to time.
Like a real Gentleman Felix noticed and lent her his jacket.
He is so unlike Liam. Not that Liam is bad at heart, but it was the best that they would step back and be friends only.
Over the 2 months, she saw that this was the best and the feelings for him, she once thought to be so difficult to get over them, are completly non-exisitent by now.
Of course she cared for him and really liked him but him trying to make her jealous with Lauren really made her feel nothing. While thinking about Amy and Sabrina now, as to what they were doing.. together right now.. "stop" she thought to herself. It made her blood almost boil with jealousy. But as for now she won't acknowledge this feeling or what it's meaning may be.
"Let go.." she encouraged herself again.

The door of Felix house opens and he does make a gesture to invite her to step in.
