Chapter 7 Amy's POV

After talking some more, Reagan and I decided to give it another shot. It's been two weeks and things have been really good so far. Today I am going shopping with Lauren, who knows that Reagan and I are friends, but nothing more, and Karma, who knows nothing. It's not that I want to hide anything from her, I mean she's my best friend, but what I have is special and last time Karma got anywhere near it things went bad. However, I plan on telling her today because I want everyone to just get along without all the drama.

"So Karma, how's my favorite little person?" I greet as I finally pull off after she got into the front seat. From my understanding she's with the Liam's parents this weekend, which is a regular thing when Karma wants some free time. Don't get me wrong, she's a great mom and loves Katie very much, but when she can, she takes to downtime by passing baby girl off on me, Liam's parents, and sometimes Shane if he's nice enough.

"She's great. So where are we going? I really needed to get away for awhile," she says as she looks from Lauren, who's in the back, to me.

"Nothing elaborate. Just mall, meal, home to be honest. I need a few things and then I just wanna chill for awhile."

"Anything is good if it relieves me from mommy and homework duty for awhile." I saw Lauren roll her eyes through my rear view mirror, which made me chuckle. The rest of the way, we heard nothing, but faint music and Karma constantly talking and talking and what do you know talking some more. Her and Lauren argued for a second when Laur told her to shut the hell up, but before we know it we are at the mall.

"Sweet freedom," Lauren mumbles as she exited the car. As we walk through the mall, Lauren and I hang back for a sec at my request.

"So what is it you're not telling me Raudenfield?" she sasses like only she can.

"Karma doesn't know about Reagan," I whisper only loud enough for Lauren to hear.

"How can she not?! You guys have been hanging out nonstop since you saw her again. It's almost like you guys are dating," she chuckles at the thought. When I didn't join in and began to avoid eye contact, she grew suspicious.

"Amy?"

"Mmm?"

"Are you and Reagan dating again?"

"What?! That's crazy! Of course we're not... yeah we are," I answer back.

"You bitch! And you didn't tell me? How long Ames?" she looks pissed, but not as mad as I expected.

"Two weeks and yes I know I should have told you at least, but I'm telling you now. I didn't wanna jinx myself and the fact that Karma doesn't know is gonna cause even more of a blow up.

"Forget Karma for a sec. Does Shane know? Because if Shane knows before me, I'm gonna kick his ass, Reagan's, and then yours."

"No, he doesn't geez. And I think Reagan is telling him as we speak. We agreed that we would do it together. I didn't know how things would go, so I asked her if we could keep it to ourselves for awhile. She wasn't too happy, but she agreed for my comfort. I'm really happy Laur for the first time in awhile and I wanted you guys to be the first to know officially," I smile hesitantly at my sister.

"I should really punch you for not telling me sooner. But of course I'm happy for you Ames. I meant everything I said a couple of weeks ago. You deserve to be happy and feel loved by someone, and I am really glad it's Reagan." There I go with the damn squealing as I hug my sister excitedly for her support.

"What I miss?" I hear from behind me. I let go of Lauren and turn to see Karma there looking a little confused at the interaction we just had.

"Oh uhm, it's not important now. Let's go into that store," I suggest which thankful changed the conversation for the moment. We look around this cute little store that had some really nice stuff. As I am looking over a blue button up, I feel arms slip around my waist. I startle at the touch before realizing who it was based on their scent.

"Hey babe," she whispers in my ear, making me shutter.

"Rea? What are you doing here?" I ask while turning in her embrace, arms around her neck.

"Well, Shane wanted to come to get a present for Duke's birthday, so here we are. Shane is actually at the store next door. I saw you and decided to come see how everything went with telling the girls," she pecks my lips after explaining.

"Lauren was a little pissed, but happy for me. As for Karma, she doesn't know yet."

"I expected that from Lauren, but why doesn't Karma know yet? I thought you were gonna tell them at the same time," she says not chastising, just curious.

"Lauren was the easiest for now, but I will tell Karma today, I promise. So how's hanging with 'the guys'?" I say changing the subject.

"Well it's only Shane, thank God Duke had to work because I have no idea how I would've handled all the extra mushy shit. But things are going well so far. I've really missed Shane, and it's like falling back into old habits. Speaking of, I better get back. I'll see you later babe, and no worries if it doesn't happen today, we'll try another," she says with one last kiss before rushing off to find Shane.

"Amy?" I stop in my tracks and turn to find Karma looking at me completely confused.

"Hey Karma. Find something you like?" I try to play off nonchalantly.

"Was that.. it couldn't be. Was that Reagan I just saw kissing you?" she questioned.

"Oh, that, uhm yeah. Yeah it was. How do you think this shirt will look with this skirt? Edgy or too adorable?" I question, trying to change the subject entirely, holding up the two items together.

"Forget the clothes for a sec. When did this happen?" she asked folding her arms over her chest.

"A little over two weeks. What about the color? I think it's too light, maybe a shade darker will do."

"Amy, will you forget the damn clothes and talk to me! Why didn't I know about this?" she whisper-shout, clearly getting upset. I take a deep breath to calm myself before addressing the situation.

"This is why Karma. I know you and Reagan ended on a okay note, but it wasn't ideal when we broke up. Listen, I planned on telling you today, I just didn't know how to. Yes, Reagan and I are back together. We ran into each other at the beginning of summer at the store and went out that night, as friends, to catch up. We were just friends, until we decided to give it another shot. And I'm happy Karm, I'm really really happy and I need my best friend to be happy for me," I plead. Things are silent for awhile I see her give in just a little.

"I am happy for you Ames. I just wish you would've told me sooner. I want you to be happy, more than anything, I was just shocked is all,"she says in a way I hope is sincere. You can never really tell with her these days.

"Thank you Karma," I say before embracing her in a hug. The rest of the trip goes smoothly except The small amount of banter from Lauren and Karma. When we finally get home, I call my girlfriend right away.

"Hey babe."

"Hey Rea. So update is that Karma saw us kissing," I tell her right off the bat.

"Ooooh, how did she take it?" she says being sympathetic.

"Not too well at first, but overall good. I honestly think she needs a little time to process."

"I hope she does babe, for your sake. I would never want to come in between you guys again."

"Hey, things are different now and you could never. I love you and she's just gonna have to deal. Changing the subject, how was your day with Shane?" For the next few hours, I hear all about her day and I tell her about mine. Today overall was a pretty good day because I got to talk to the girl I love at the end of it.
