Karma and I were sleeping when the alarm rang. She was so excited that she stood up immediately one minute later she was already singing Born for this by Paramore and jumping all around.
"Honey. Today is a brand new day" a smile crossed her face and it turned me on.
"Could you stop whistling, please? I'm dejected" I pretended to be tired and disappointed, actually I was not, I was happy she was happy too. I loved her smile.
"Why?" Her smile faded.
"'cause you're gonna leave me all alone" I complained and then, to break the tension, I added: "But, that's great. I mean...you're with your boy. And I think that I can cope with the world, even if you're not with me" I grinned from ear to ear.
"Are you sure? Because I can tell when you're lying"
"No, no...don't worry. I will be absolutely fine. Trust me" I meant it, I knew she was going to kiss another person, but as her best friend I had to support her, no matter what, and I was ready to play my role, I didn't care if she was with Liam, all that mattered was that we were together.
"Then stand up. Let's go having breakfast!"
"No, not yet!"
"I won't compromise. Stand up" she glanced at me and I obeyed reluctantly.
She ran down the stairs still singing, but this time she sang the bridge of No curtain call by Maroon Five.

As it's winding down to zero
I am yours like a hero
I'll see this through
There's so much me and you
Take this enemy together
Fight these demons off forever
Forever forever forever

"Not again! You always sing that song. I'm fed up. Why don't you change song?" I flipped.
"What do you want me to sing, darling?"
"Everything, but that" I almost begged her.
"Hum. What about this one?" and before I could say a word she started singing again.

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun

She could sing very beautifully. I loved her voice. Actually, I loved each part of her, inside and outside.
But Lauren interrupted her.
"Fuck, Karma. How can you be this happy on Sunday morning?"
"Hi, Lauren! Did you sleep well?"
"Did you two fuck well?" she replied rudely.
"Not yet" she opened her arms and added: "She has her period" and she headed to the kitchen laughing very hard.
"When will she understand?" Karma asked me with a strange smirk.
"That we aren't together!" she said when I looked confuse.
In that moment I thought she was enjoying my pain, but I knew she was only trying to act as if nothing had actually happened.
"We are not...right. I keep on forgetting...Maybe it's because you treat me as your girlfriend!" I mocked her, but she thought I was serious and then I realized I was a little bit hurt by her behavior, perhaps I was overreacting.
"Okay. I see, Amy, chill out, please"
"You're right. My bad, I'm sorry" I breathed.
"Don't be sorry, honey. Look, if this situation makes you feel uncomfortable, I think we have to stop, then"
I nodded absently, I didn't hear anything of what she said, my mind went to that time we were in the garden and she confessed me she liked a boy, but I already knew she didn't, she just wanted to pretend to be someone she was not. I never told her that I knew it, right before she could have imagined it. She didn't like him, she was attracted to me but she wanted to ignore it or deny it, if necessary.

The sound of a phone brought me back to reality.
"Is it yours?" She pointed to the phone that was on the kitchen table.
"No, it's Lauren's, I think"
"No, it's mine" said a voice behind us.
That voice sounded familiar, but at first I couldn't recognize it. I turned my back to see who had spoken and with my great surprise I saw Hanna, a friend who I haven't heard from for a long time, so I stood in stunned.
"Hanna? What are you doing here?" I shrieked and in no time we were lovely hugging.
"I missed you so much!" She told me, freeing herself from the embrace, to say hi to Karma: "Hi, Karma. How are you?" she asked politely.
"I'm fine, thanks" she smiled and frowned.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hanna demanded a bit dazed.
"Nothing. I was just wondering what are you doing here..."
"Lauren didn't tell you?" She looked from me to Karma.
"No. What happened?"
"Nothing special. We and the girls are in town"
"On holiday...or something happened?"
"Ha ha. I don't know. It has been Emily's decision"
"Emily?"
"Yup. She insisted on coming and we accepted" She smiled and she was so adorable. Her long hair fluttered when she moved her head, I could see she was very embarrassed and I felt guilty.
"Karma, you have to hurry. Liam is coming to pick you up!" I reminded her.
"Oh. Liam. Are you still dating that guy?" Hanna winked her.
"Yes! I love him so much" she uttered a joyous shout before disappearing in the bathroom.
I started making breakfast.
"Wanna join us?"
"No, thanks. I'd better go. Spencer is waiting for me. She wanted to go to the library..I don't know why she always asks me to go with her, she knows I don't like books!" said Hanna, sarcastically.
"Maybe she likes your company" I smiled sweetly.
"Hum, Hanna, can I steal Amy for a second, please?" Karma was standing in the doorway. Without waiting for an answer she grabbed my arm and dragged me away.
"I have just heard Emily talk to Lauren!" She whispered.
"So what?" I was confused...but when I realized what she just said I shook: "What?"
"Yes! Emily was searching for you. I heard that she wanted to apologize for her behavior towards you"
"Why? I don't get it"
"Don't you remember that the last time you met, she treated you badly?"
"I think it's because Paige left and she was really upset"
"Right, I think so, too. So she planned this trip just to see you!"
"You are wrong" I stated.
I had met Emily when Karma and I were on Spring break holiday in Rosewood. We had heard about a lot of strange things happening there that we decided to go and see, just because we were curious. But when we got there things were fixed. -A had been already caught and arrested. Mona turned out to be still alive and so Alison's mother. Alison was under house arrests and heavily guarded.
Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna were free, their lives went back to the way they used to be.
So I was quite disappointed, but Karma, to cheer me up wanted to take me to the Brew, where she knew a cute girl worked. There I met Emily, the most beautiful girl I had ever known, after Karma, obviously. We talked and we got along, until she felt compelled to tell me she just broke up with her girlfriend and she didn't want anything serious. I felt such a mess and I ditched her.
I couldn't believe she came to Austin just to see me, something wasn't clear.
"I don't care, anyway. Get ready!" I hushed Karma and I left the room. I needed some fresh air.
