CHAPTER TWO
It's strange. I mean the fact that out of our little Scooby gang I had become the level headed and normal one. The Gay man in the middle of Texas was now the common denominator. I mean it was great that the truth had come out because there was nothing more to hide. But now, no one talked, just avoided. Liam spent nights and days forging his artistic tortured soul storyline. Karma was completely shut off to everyone except oddly me. Then there was Amy, poor Amy just dwelling... (Shane)
Amy sat on her bed, writing in her notebook when suddenly her door opened presenting Liam and her Mother.
"Ames, you have a visitor." She giggled; Amy rolled her eyes in annoyance but stood up and came over anyway.
"I'm sorry Amy; I...needed to speak with you." Liam replied in a nervous tone.
"You do know there is a new form of technology called a phone." Amy continued.
"Amy!" Ms. Rudenfield-Cooper chastised.
"You're right, I'm sorry…" Liam began as Amy shook her head.
"Whatever. Just say what you need to say." She replied as her Mom moved for him to come in.
"Liam, would you like something to eat or drink?" Her Mom asked delighted.
"No, I won't be long." He replied.
"Oh..." Amy's mom confusing replied.
"So that means no, mom. Goodbye!" Amy said shutting the door. "So what do you want?"
"Well, considering, the last time we talked was on a rooftop, I'm here to check on you?"
"Well, seeing as we made out, almost leading to the exactly thing that got us into this mess." Amy added taking a deep breath…"You're like...I don't know...my green kryptonite." she continued as Liam grinned a little. Amy reflecting on her choice of words grinned too. "Did I really just say?"
"Yea, you kind of did." He grinned, Amy gained her composure.
"Liam, what is wrong with us?" She asked.
Suddenly Liam kissed Amy passionately; Amy stayed reserved but let her guard down and continued to kiss him back. As Amy forced a moment for breath, she looked at her hands on his chest. "I can't..." she locked eyes with him. "And you can't either." Liam shook his head.
"Amy... I..." Suddenly Liam awoke, lying on an art desk, as Shane stood there.
"So a light afternoon nap, or overnight restless art thing?"
"How about a just needing to think accidentally fell asleep thing." Liam replied.
"Liam, you all, can't keep doing this?"
"Doing what?"
"Avoiding each other, like you did something wrong. People make mistakes but you move on." Liam stood up and grabbed his backpack. "Clearly I know everyone is losing but someone has to win, Karma and you could make it." Shane replied.
"Not likely." He said leaving out the room and heading into the halls as Shane followed.
"Why? The greatest romances can come back from any issue."
"Really?" Liam turned back towards Shane.
"Ok, well maybe life isn't like the Notebook."
"And it took you that much time to figure that one out?"
"Noooo, but I was trying to be deep." Shane said suddenly Liam stopped, as Shane followed his eyes Amy stood at her locker.
"This is exactly what-"
"You know what, your right." Liam replied, he then headed over towards her.
"Amy?" Liam announced as Amy turned a little taken back.
"Yes."
"We need to talk...so, can I come over this evening?"
"Umm, actually..."
"Look" he said with confidence. "Personally I'm not going through the rest of this school year avoiding people. I may not be Karma but I like to believe I'm a friend and friends check up on each other and speak to each other" He replied sincerely in a rambling.
"Sure." She said shutting her locker.
"And Shane thinks we are all avoiding…" he stopped. "You said yes." he replied as she nodded to him.
"Five." She added walking away, as Shane came over.
"What was that about?"
"We're going to have a talk."
"A talk?"
"Yea, a talk." Liam said fearful.
