Karma's POV
I felt happy. Happy that Amy has always chosen me. Happy that she wanted to protect me. That Reagan and her were over. I had forgiven her, although I couldn't forget. But that was okay. As long as I could be with Amy. I felt happy. Past tense.
Amy's POV
I felt like the luckiest girl on earth. I was able to call my best friend, my girlfriend. Finally, the person I love the most, was mine. And I was hers. Was.
A week earlier
I felt Karma waking me up with a gentle and soft kiss on my lips. I slowly opened my eyes. Her beautiful and wide smile was the reason I didn't want to go back to sleeping. She was laying on her side and moved slowly into my arms. This was the best feeling in the world. Holding the person you love the most in your arms and feel like their protector. She laid her head on my chest and I could smell her hair. I had missed everything about her. The little thing like the smell of her hair could make my day. I wrapped her arms around her and held her tight.
After a while she sighed. 'What is it?', I asked her. 'I can't breathe…', she said with what sounded like the last bit of air she had. I immediately let go of her. 'Oh my god I'm so sorry…' I panicked. Karma was laughing out loud. 'You ARE trying to kill me, aren't you? I didn't know your arms were that strong.' She was still laughing. I smiled a little too now. She came closer, grabbed my cheek and started kissing me. 'I love you too', she smiled through our kiss.
All of a sudden we heard a knocking on the door. Then Karma's parents opened the door. 'Good morning to my favorite power couple!', her mom said. 'Oh my god, mom!', Karma immediately let me go. Her dad had a camera in his hand and pointed at us with the thing. 'We just want a few pictures of the two of you so I can brag to other people about it.' Molly explained. 'Now?!' Karma shouted. 'Yes, any moment', her mom said like it was totally normal. Karma looked hopeless at me. 'I was trying not to laugh. 'We'll be downstairs in a minute. You can take as many pictures as you want', I told them. Karma's face was full of disbelief. 'All right! But don't take too long', her mom said again. They walked downstairs en closed the door behind them.
'Really?!', Karma said with wide eyes. I started laughing. 'Let them celebrate too that we're together. It's a good thing they're happy. I don't know if my mom would be that happy.' I mumbled. 'Karma's face went from disbelief to sad. 'Well, let's get dressed then.' I said while I got up.
When we got downstairs, we heard a few people talking. Not just Karma's parents anymore. We entered the living room and my I felt my heart jumped out of my chest. Not the good kind of jumping. I looked at Karma and I could see she was sad and confused. She looked back at me as we were walking towards them.
"Hello there.' Reagan said. 'What are you doing here?' I asked cold. 'You guys know each other?' Molly asked. We all stayed silent. 'Well, I was lost and luckily these gentle people let me in after I rang the doorbell. I have no idea how to get home.' 'Bullshit', I said quickly. 'Go home. I would even bring you home. As long as you stay there.' I said. I grabbed Karma's hand. Molly noticed that and looked at us like we were cute little puppies. 'I think you know each other and you don't like one another.' Karma's dad said. 'Fine, you can bring me home. I haven't got a car anyways.' Without a doubt I walked towards the door. 'Can I borrow your car Molly?', I asked Karma's mom. Karma walked towards me. 'What are you doing?', she whispered. 'I don't want her near us. I'll bring her home'. 'Amy, you don't have a car license,' Karma said nervous, 'You can't drive.' I looked down at my feet. 'I know…' I mumbled. 'Maybe you should go talk to her. That might be all she wants.' Karma said. Luckily Karma was the smart one in our relationship. Reagan stood up and walked towards the door outside as I followed.
'I see you and your princess are back together. You're cheating on me and I don't like it', she began. 'Reagan. We. Are. Not. Together.' I tried not to flip out. 'Just stop being a stalker and leave Karma and me alone. You're better than that.' She shook her head. 'I swear to god that if she touches you again, I will make her wish she had never been born.' Reagan said coldhearted. 'I will protect her. You can't hurt her.' I said through my shaking voice. I knew what Reagan was capable of. That's what scared me. 'I've warned you now, shrimp girl. I'm expecting you tomorrow at my house. Telling me that you're mine. If not, we'll see what happens.' She said and walked away. I just stood there. Thinking of what just happened.
The next day had passed and nothing had happened. I was relieved but still a little scared. I wasn't with Karma at the moment. She was at home. So was I. We were studying for tomorrows test. Reagan's words were still on my mind. Mine too. I said I would protect Karma.
My phone rang. Karma. I picked up. 'Karma?!' I shouted. 'Woah, yes, I don't need to become deaf', she said calm as she was. I relaxed a little bit. 'How are you?' I asked her. 'Fine. I was studying. And I miss you… That's why I'm calling you right now.' My heart melted. 'I miss you too… What have you been up to all day?' 'Well, besides of studying and missing you, not much. I just went to the store. Oh and on my way to the store, a car almost ran me over. I had a green light. The car didn't. Luckily I saw it on time.' 'What?!' I jumped out of bed. 'What kind of car was it? Black?' 'Uh yeah I believe it was. Why?' I stayed silent. 'I have to go.' I hung up the phone and started thinking. All of a sudden my phone lighted up. A text message. Reagan. It said: Too bad I didn't hit her, huh?
I had the feeling that Reagan was watching me from my window all the time. How could she know I knew? I had to start taking her more seriously. I had to stop seeing Karma. Or not? Maybe next time Reagan will hit her for real. I couldn't risk that. No. I won't let Reagan come between us again. Maybe I could just tell Karma. Or not?
Karma's POV
Days had passed and I hadn't heard anything from Amy since our phone call. She didn't even go to school. Her mom told me she was okay but that I couldn't see her. I didn't know why and I had been spending the last couple of days crying. Just when everything seemed so perfect, just when we were happy, she disappeared on me.
