Authors note: I'm sorry it's been so extremely long... I can explain, but that would take way too long. It's just been a bit of a hectic time. Enjoy anyway! It is more Karma POV, but with a reason. Next chapter will be more about Amy.
Chapter 7
Karma POV
Karma was sitting on her bed and staring at her phone. She had written a text to Amy a couple of days ago, but still wasn't able to hit send.
The girls hadn't spoken to one another in two weeks and Karma was missing the blonds company.
Veronica slowly opened the door and saw Karma, she noticed that the girl's mood still had not changed since that particular night and sat next to her.
"Still didn't talk to her, huh?" Veronica asked the auburn haired girl. Karma looked up to her and smiled a sad smile.
"I don't think I'll ever will again after storming out of that room." She sighted and it honestly felt more like she did not walk out of Amy's room, but out of Amy's life.
Veronica placed a hand on Karma's shoulder and stood up again. "I always call my mom when I need some serious advice." And with that Veronica walked out of the dorm room again.
It still felt weird that Veronica was so nice to Karma lately. Even more so since they had such a rough start.
Karma repeated the words Veronica had just said. 'Calling my mother?' Karma thought to herself. 'Would my mom honestly give some advice a normal person would benefit from?'
At the same time just sitting there and staring at her phone wouldn't help her either.
She decided to take the leap of fate and dialed her mom's number. After about ten seconds she heard her mother's voice on the other side of the line and she instantly felt a little better.
Amy POV
Amy was looking around while she should be paying attention to her lecture, but she couldn't spot the shorter girl who she desperately wanted to see.
She couldn't believe that what she feared most had happened and Karma simply walked out of that door.
It took Amy ten minutes to pull herself back together just enough to call her mom and tell everything what had just happened.
Farrah wanted to come over as quickly as possible, but Amy had made sure to her that it wasn't necessary.
She felt a little better after talking to Farrah and decided she would check up on little Jimmy. It had become her therapy. Watching him sleep always calmed her down.
Every time something bad would happen, she just watched Jimmy sleep and the world wouldn't look so bad anymore for just a little while.
Unfortunately, now that she was in the lecture and Jimmy was nowhere to be found the world started to crumble around her again.
These last two weeks Amy had thought about Karma every day, but she couldn't bring herself to actually talk to Karma. She was afraid it would be too soon and she just scared her away even more than she already had.
It would be best to wait for Karma to take the first step, but what if that never came? Amy was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the lecture was actually over.
She packed her back and her feet directed her to the one dorm room she had avoided at all costs these weeks.
Maybe it would be best to wait, but she couldn't wait anymore. Amy wanted to know if Karma would ever make the first step or that she just had to forget about her and move on.
Karma POV
"Mom I've made the biggest mistake in my life." Karma sighted into her phone, knowing her words were the truth.
"Well honey, what did you do? It can't be that bad, can it?" Karma smiled at her mother's words, always thinking the best about everyone and being positive about every situation.
Karma sighted once again, preparing herself to tell her mother the entire story without breaking down somewhere in the middle.
It took her at least ten minutes only to describe Amy to her mother. How amazing the taller girl is and how well they got to know each other.
She even told her mom that she thought she was developing feelings for Amy. She had never felt such a connection ever before.
Her mother listened to every word her daughter blurred out carefully, not only because she wanted to understand what her gorgeous daughter was feeling, but also because her talkative daughter was rambling in an amazing speed.
Eventually Karma came to the part about Amy having a secret, telling Karma about it and Karma making the mistake she made.
Her mother was quite for a bit and Karma started to wonder if she secretly just had hung up on her or something like that, when she heard her mother thinking out loud, but not loud enough for her to hear it clearly enough.
"What is it you're saying over there mom?" She heard her mother chuckle and Karma got almost a little angry, because she found her situation anything but funny.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, it's just…. Your father and I had a bet when you would finally meet a nice girl and I won." Karma couldn't believe her parents, but it was such a random turn of events that she started to laugh for the first time in days.
"Mom I'm calling to ask you for some advice over here, I'm not interested in knowing you won your bet. Even more so now that you didn't win anymore, I totally screwed up..."
The giggling had stopped on the other end of the phone and Karma heard her mother cough a little. She knows that now her mother was preparing her speech, she always coughs when she's going to give a speech.
"Karma, what you did wasn't the most ideal thing to do, but you mustn't forget that you're young and it is okay that it freaked you at a little. Still, now you have to make an important decision. If you do like this Amy so much as you say, you'll have to listen to her story and accept the fact that she is already a mother."
Karma let her mother's words sink in and was already busy with the decision making process, but who was she kidding? Her decision was already made. She made it that night already, but was too afraid to look it in the eyes already.
Her mother continued. "You also need to make sure you are ready for the decision you are making. It won't be a simple one; either way, just make sure it's the right one."
How was she supposed to know if it was the right one? And just like that she heard her mother say one more thing. "The right decision is the one you've already made sweetheart."
She smiled, her mother knew her too well. "Thank you mom, I don't know what I should do without you."
They chatted a little about school and more 'less emotional' subjects. After an hour Karma put down the phone, she had been missing some lectures and needed to catch up.
Just when she wanted to get her books she heard a knock on the door. It felt like the entire weight of the world hit her when she saw the one person she didn't expect to see.
Amy stood there, her eyes focused on her feet, clearly not knowing what to say. Karma decided that if Amy wasn't going to speak, she would.
"Amy I thought about what happened, I thought about it a lot. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but I bit the bullet and made it anyway."
And with those words Karma knew her decision was final.
