Author's Notes:
I'm pretty much done with writing the entire story, I just need to work out the multiple ending thing. If everything goes right, I should be done by Saturday.
"Amy, are you alright? You've been in there for half an hour!" The concerned sound of Reagan's voice awoke her from her trance. She quickly looked away from the glass and took a few deep breaths.
"Yeah, I'm okay, I was just really enjoying my shower. I'll be there in a minute!" She checked her hair, put on fresh clothes and opened the door. "How was my mom's music taste?" She tried to sound relaxed, but wasn't sure if it worked.
"I honestly didn't know there were so many country songs. I think I'm scarred for life!" Reagan's voice helped calm Amy down, and she even laughed a little.
"Yeah, that's Texas for you. So, are you all done here?"
"I just need to grab my laptop, and then we can go pay a visit to our hotel. I'm dying to take a shower."
After Amy had said goodbye to her mom, they walked to their hotel together. Luckily for them it wasn't that far away because there was still no sign of Dale and his car. The walk took them through one of the few busy streets of Austin, a street Amy knew all too well. This was where she and Karma used to get their fancy lattes, a guilty pleasure they'd both enjoyed and made fun of at the same time.
She had never been here alone, and she'd never found another place that served coffees quite as sweet as this one. She thought about taking Reagan there, but she knew that the place held too many memories. Having a drink with Reagan there would feel like cheating on Karma, this had been their thing. She couldn't help herself however, and shot a quick glance through the window at what had been their usual table.
It was occupied by someone with beautiful dark red hair. She'd recognize that person anywhere.
Karma was sitting alone no ten feet from her. And if Reagan hadn't been with her, Amy was sure she would have walked in and started talking to her. Seeing Karma in person hurt much worse than just looking at old photographs.
"You okay shrimp? You look like you've seen a ghost." She looked so concerned, and Amy hated herself for even thinking about talking to the one person that had caused them to break up.
"I'm fine, really. It's just… These shops all bring back a lot of memories. Let's just go."
"Hey, I'm here now. Just try to relax, alright?" Reagan kissed her softly, her concern showing even in this action. She took a hold of Amy's hand and squeezed reassuringly. "I think we're almost there. The hotel looked beautiful, didn't it?" She tried to distract her by making small talk, and it was working. She hadn't even noticed that Karma had looked back, that she'd seen her kiss Reagan.
The hotel looked like pretty much every other hotel in America, but the most important thing was there: a bed. As soon as they got in the room, Reagan dropped her bags and ran to take a shower, leaving Amy to think about the events of the day. She laid down on the bed and tried desperately not to see Karma's face when she closed her eyes.
"Hey Amy! Don't you fall asleep just yet " Reagan laughed.
"What? Oh, Reagan I'm sorry I was just... Thinking." Only now did Amy realise Reagan was only wearing a towel.
"Uh, about what, Amy?"
"Just, you know, the day and stuff." Amy noticed a different tone In Reagan's voice, like when they had been in Reagan's dorm last night.
"The day? Anything in particular?" Reagan now sat besides amy.
"Look Reagan, I have to tell you something." Amy's voice suddenly became more serious.
"What is it Amy?" Reagan sounded a little concerned but nonetheless she still looked curious to know what Amy had to say. "You look pretty worried... You know you can tell me anything, right?"
"I know, I know… It's just..." Amy said.
"What Amy? What happened?" Amy saw Reagan's shoulders tighten, a sign that she was feeling anxious . She'd always been able to see right trough Amy, and she could probably tell how important this was to her.
"I saw… Karma today." Amy felt as if a huge weight had just fallen off of her shoulders
Reagan's expression suddenly hardened. Amy had only been thinkingabout herself, and she hadn't really thought about how Reagan would respond to this. She now realised she might have made a terrible mistake. It was only after a few minutes of silence ,which felt like decades to Amy, that Reagan could bring out one word: "Karma?..."
"I'm sorry, I knew I should've told you sooner but I was just so scared about what you would say." Amy knew that was a lie, but what was she supposed to say? That she just didn't had the courage to face the past? That maybe she still missed Karma, and that she wanted to see her again? No. She couldn't possibly say that. She could hardly admit it to herself.
"I understand…" was the only thing Reagan said.
"You do? So you aren't mad?"
"Amy, look." Reagan slowly turned her head toward Amy. "I love you no matter what, and the last thing that I want is for either one of us to be hurt again. Karma… caused some things. Some things that are very hard to forgive for me, but Amy. You knew her almost all your life, you were friends… That is not something that could easily be forgotten. So Amy: No, I'm not mad. I just want you to be happy."
This time it was Amy who was speechless.
"Reagan… I don't know what to say I was just so afraid and I…."
Reagan leaned as she softly kissed her Amy's face. "You don't have to say anything. Just relax."
Amy looked Reagan in the eyes. She could feel her heartbeat rising. Reagan slowly grabbed her face as the kiss became more intense. Amy reached for her back. she slowly grabbed the towel and with a small move she took it off. Reagan let out a small giggle as she laid down. Amy looked at her body. she slowly visualised every part from it starting with her face and ending with her curves. Amy swinged her leg over Reagan. She slowly touched her body. Oh God, it is happening. she thought to herself. She leaned forward and kissed Reagan's lips first, then her neck and then her breasts. Reagan grabbed Amy around the waist and flipped positions, she was now on top.
Reagan POV
Reagan slowly touched Amy's shirt, unbuttoning every button. She worked slowly, careful not to rush anything. She then removed her shirt. She is perfect, she thought. She slowly loosened her bra as she kissed her. Amy moaned a little, she could feel Amy's body beneath her own. She was ready. This was what she had been waiting for. She grabbed Amy's bra and threw it on the floor. Amy grabbed Reagan's shoulders and pushed them towards her own. Reagan slowly moved her hands on Amy's thigh. She could hear Amy moan. She took of Amy's pants. Reagan moved her lips towards Amy's thighs. Amy groaned and moaned.
"OH GOD!" Amy screamed.
Reagan could hear Amy's breath. Reagan hadn't felt anything like this, the passion… was overwhelming.
Reagan looked up and gave Amy a seductive look.
Amy kissed Reagan as she took the lead again. she grabbed her waist and moved her hand to her thighs. Reagan had never felt anything like it, not even on her own.
"Oh Amy. I love you" Reagan moaned as she kissed Amy. Her breathing intensified while her moans became louder. Amy slid down on Reagan's body as she kissed her. Reagan held her breasts and her desire grew, her desire to love, to hold, to touch... The end was near, Reagan's moans reached their loudest point and all of a sudden it was over.
Amy looked up and kissed Reagan."Woah Amy!" said Reagan as she lay down on the bed. Amy lay down beside her. "That was… Woah"
Both exhausted they fell back on the bed.
"Amy?"
"Yeah"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
They fell asleep together, holding one another.
Lauren POV
There wasn't a lot to see in Austin, but she was doing her best to entertain her guests. She'd taken them to some of her favorite bars and to Zilker Park, but now she was running out of things to show them. Normally she wouldn't have any problem with just dumping them and going back home, but she wanted these people to like her. She wasn't used to being the one who tried to make friends, usually people tried to befriend her. She crossed of the things she'd already showed them from her mental list, and she couldn't think of another interesting thing in Austin.
"Hey, is that a fair?" Raven pointed to her right, and indeed, a faint outline of a Ferris wheel was visible.
"Looks like it. Let's go, we don't get those here very often."
The fair itself was pretty small, apart from the Ferris wheel there were a few shooting stalls and a haunted house. Because Lauren's aim was terrible and she wasn't too fond of heights, she decided they should do the haunted house.
"Are you guys up for a haunted house? It looks pretty decent, and the tickets aren't too expensive.
Everyone agreed, but Felicia got a little closer to Lauren and whispered the following: "I've never actually been inside a haunted house before, is it scary?"
"Well, that's pretty much the point. Don't worry though, they're usually really predictable, and you won't be alone in there." Lauren tried to sound reassuring, and apparently it worked, because Felicia was first in line to buy tickets.
Upon entering the haunted house, Lauren was afraid that she'd lied to Felicia. The atmosphere in the haunted house itself was pretty scary, and Felicia was already looking a bit frightened.
They took their seats and the cars started going. She and Felicia shared a car, and due to the size of the cars their bodies pressed against each other. Like Lauren had thought, the haunted house relied on cheap scares and bad costumes, and while Dale and Lauren were enjoying making fun of the place, Felicia looked pretty scared, and she let out a little yelp after every scare.
"Felicia, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm-" She was interrupted by a skeleton that popped out from somewhere. "I'm a bit scared, I'll admit"
"Just hold on to me, okay?" And Felicia did, she rested her head on Lauren's shoulder and held her tight.

Author's Notes: To be completely honest, I'm not exactly happy with the quality of the last few chapters. I guess I just lost my inspiration, but I feel like I'm not doing as good a job as I could. That's why I'm taking a break after working out this story arc. Also, I just reached 4500 views, which I feel is completely undeserved, but thank all of you anyway!
