Hey guys! Here's the next chapter. Thank you for reading and commenting :) Hope you like this chapter!
I woke up with the sun in my eye and a major headache. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't in my bed or my room. The clock on the nightstand said it was 7 in the morning. There was also a glass of water and pills on it. I quickly took the pills to ease the pounding in my head. I looked around the empty room realizing it was Amy's bedroom, but she wasn't in here. I started to sit up when I noticed I was in different clothes than last night. I had a long t-shirt and that's it. The shirt smelled just like Amy and I remembered everything that happened last night and how mad I was at her. I had to get out of here, but of course Amy would live in the middle of fucking nowhere. I went downstairs and Amy was sleeping on the couch. If I can just make it out of the front door I can call Shane to ask him to pick me up. I went to the door and opened it slowly trying not to wake her up. I heard Amy's voice causing me to jump.
"You're not gonna say bye?" She said walking to me. She had on white boxer briefs and a black V-neck. I realized I was staring at her and cursed myself mentally. She looked at me smirking and said, "That looks good on you," pointing at her shirt. I grabbed the edge of the shirt and started pulling it off when she told me to stop putting her hand on mine. I pulled my hand away from her and she sighed.
"Why am I in different clothes?"
"Well you had on a dress, and asked me to change you into something more comfortable," Amy said shrugging like it's no big deal. "Me? I don't remember." I said trying to remember if I told her anything like that.
"Maybe because you were out of it. The drinks you gulped down so easily were laced with something. That's why you fainted." She said and I closed my eyes regretting drinking those drinks last night,
"So we didn't do anything, right? I asked while Amy looked at me.
"No. I'm not the type of person to take advantage of a drunken person, no."
"But you are the type to break someone's heart." I said angrily causing her to sigh again.
"Well I guess someone is still mad." She said looking at me.
"No I'm not mad. I was stupid to think someone like you could ever be capable of a relationship. I'm not mad; I am tired of trying though. So, if you don't mind can I leave or are you gonna hold me in this big ass house against my will?" I said as Amy backed up looking at me unbelievably.
"Karma, I understand that you're mad, but can't you see that I'm doing this for your well being." Amy said throwing her hands up.
"How? You aren't in charge of my well being. You can't change what happens to me Amy. Are you pushing me away for my own good, or yours? Think about who you are really doing it for." I walked out of the house when Amy ran up to me and gave me something and walked back into her house. I looked down at my hand to see her car keys.
I got home an hour ago and got ready since I still had to go practice for this video. I wasn't feeling it, honestly. I didn't want to have to see her or dance with her. I don't think I could do it, but I couldn't give up. This was my big break and I had to hold on. It was only two more days after today. I could handle it. We were shooting the video on Friday. When the clock hit 10, I decided to head to the hotel. I still had Amy's car so I decided to take it to the hotel to give back to her. I parked the car in the parking garage when I noticed people outside the hotel and went through the back like Amy taught me.
As I walked to the ballroom I saw Candice and Lauren talking to each other when they both turned to look at me. I turned my head slightly and kept walking. Lauren walked over to me as I was stretching, "Hey Karma. How's it going?"
"Amy told you what happened didn't she?"
"Actually no, she just told me she wasn't coming in because you probably felt more comfortable if she wasn't." I raised my head to see Lauren. She smiled at me and continued, "You know, Dylan really didn't leave for another job. Amy was just jealous and wanted to be the one to dance with you." I knew it! I knew Dylan wouldn't just quit.
"Why would she be jealous if she doesn't even want to be with me?" I said my voice becoming hostile. Lauren looked at me with sad eyes and said, "Amy is very difficult to understand. Whatever she does is to try to not hurt you. She thinks it's right but it's really not. She's also very stubborn. She has a wall build up and she is too scared to let it down. It has been that way for years. Karma, what I'm trying to say is that Amy hasn't looked at anyone like she looks at you in ages, and maybe she doesn't want to be with you right now but she will find her way to you. You just have to hold on to that and don't give up on her. She likes you; I know she does. And I'll even try to help her understand." Lauren placed her hand on mine and squeezed it gently as I smiled at her nodding. "Let's practice so we can leave early today. Amy learned the moves with Candice earlier. Now Candice will help you with yours and then you can leave!" I stood up walking to the dance floor with Candice following me.
"Hey Karma, how are you today?" Candice asked as I told her I couldn't complain.
Candice and I worked on the moves for 2 hours and I felt confident about them. The moves were extremely hard but she helped a lot. Candice played the part of my Amy, I mean, Amy today. We practiced a couple more times when Candice thought I got the hang of it. Lauren seemed happy and kept her promise about leaving early. We all headed out and I remembered I still had Amy's car. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I took it home.
I was so confused as to what to do with Amy. I knew she liked me, she had to, or she wouldn't be so protective and defensive. I could tell she was lying when she said she didn't like me. I couldn't think straight when I was around her, pun intended. She consumed my mind and I couldn't get enough of her. She drove me crazy and made me happy at the same time. She was dangerous.
When I got home I checked my phone. I had about 20 messages from Shane and even more phone calls. I opened the messages and he was going on about a picture of Amy and I. I couldn't understand his texts so I figured it would be best to call him. Shane answered on the first ring and started shouting. I moved my phone away from my ear not wanted to get deaf by his high-pitched screams.
"Shane will you calm down! What are you yelling about?"
"There are pictures of you and Amy dancing and kissing all over the TV. I thought you didn't want to rush into anything? How could you not tell me?!" Shane sounded hurt.
"Shane I will explain everything but can you send me these so called pictures." Shane agreed and sent me five pictures. Four of them were Amy and I dancing and the other one was the kiss. The kiss Amy and I shared yesterday. Who the hell took these? I wonder if Amy has seen them. Of course she has. I didn't even know what to say. I heard a knock on the door and I knew it couldn't be Shane since I was on the phone with him. I checked the peephole and told Shane I would call him back and hung up as he kept talking.
Amy was standing on the other end and I didn't know whether to open the door or act like I wasn't home.
"I know you're in there Karma, I heard you."
Well shit.
I opened the door and she stood outside waiting for me to invite her in, which I didn't. "What do you need?" I asked crossing my arms as Amy leaned against the doorframe.
"I'm assuming that you saw those pictures already. They weren't supposed to be but some asshole posted them. Now the media will be on your ass every second of every day and I don't think it's safe for you. People will know where you live and people will follow you everywhere. Do you understand? I just wanted to let you know since you don't need me to help you anymore." Amy said in a calm voice.
I run my hands through my hair and down my face. This is not what I needed at this moment. I've always wanted to be a singer but the whole paparazzi and no personal life ordeal was what I didn't want. But you have to sacrifice sometimes. I didn't notice anyone there when Amy and I were kissing, but then again I was drunk.
"Karma, are you okay?"
"I don't know, Amy." I said sighing. "I shouldn't have forced you to kiss me when you obviously didn't want to and we could have avoided all of this."
"Wait. Karma I wanted to kiss you. I want to kiss you right this second, so stop thinking that you forced me to do something that I've wanted to do ever since I met you," Amy said staring at me as I blushed.
I saw people running towards us in the distance, and Amy turned around to look at what I was looking at as I quickly grabbed her and pulled her inside locking my door. How the hell did they find my house? It's only been an hour since the pictures were leaked. Amy had a straight face so I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I walked towards the kitchen to make some tea to relax myself and ease the stress, like my mother did for me in my teenage years. Amy followed me to check up on me, so I didn't have a nervous breakdown or something. She stared at me the whole time and I couldn't focus on the tea with her staring. "What are you staring at?" I said facing away from her.
"You." Amy said walking towards me. I felt her right behind me and I could feel my heart beating faster. I felt her hands on my waist as she turned me around so that I would look at her. She was looking at my lips as I did the same. I was surprised when she leaned in and kissed me holding me against the counter. She brought her hand to hold my face and I pulled her towards me. She deepened the kiss as my fingers got tangled in her hair. Without breaking the kiss, Amy bent down and grabbed the back of my thighs and lifted me onto the counter so that we were face to face. She placed my legs on either side of her so she was in between them as she kissed me. I felt those butterflies again and felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest. We both pulled back trying to check our breath. When I opened my eyes, Amy was staring at my lips before she ran her thumb along my bottom lip. I looked into Amy's eyes and realized how dark they were just by one kiss. "I don't care how many times you tell me that you can take care of yourself. I will still do everything in my power to protect you, and I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Amy said leaning in to kiss me softly.
