AMY POV
Everything is messed up. Everything. This contract was the last thing I needed. I, honestly, can't believe the mess that is happening. Just a couple of months ago, my life was fine. Well, at least I couldn't really complain about it.
It all started that one night, three months ago, when my life went to hell. That day we shot the video, was the last day I talked to Karma.
I dropped her off at her house and stayed over, because some jackass was texting her pretending to be me. I, thinking it was just someone pulling a prank, told her to just ignore it and block the number they texted off of. She did as I said, but I knew she was still worried and freaked out, which led me to offer to spend the night. In the middle of the night, I heard my phone buzz in my pocket, luckily, it didn't wake Karma, so I stepped out to answer the call. The number was restricted and me being curious wanted to know who it was. I answered, but before I could talk someone started speaking. "I know you and Karma have something for each other, but I'm here to let you know that if you go any farther into this so-called relationship, I will come looking for her. And I'm sure she told you all about me and everything I did to her," a deep voice said. I froze knowing exactly who it was. Liam. "You do know that I can do so much worse to you than you can do to me, right?" I said feeling myself getting angrier and angrier by the second. "I wouldn't risk this Amy. I will finish what I started with Karma. Don't test me. But, I'll make you a deal that you can't refuse." I could hear him smiling and it only my blood boil even more. "And what is your deal?" I asked. "I will leave Karma alone only if you stay away from her, too. That means no communication whatsoever! If I can't have her no one can!" He shouted through the phone. "What if I don't stay away?" I questioned him. "Then I will find her and do what I started that one day at the beach house." I couldn't let something like that to happen to someone. No one deserved that. Definitely not Karma. If I stay with her, it will be my fault if Liam tries to do anything to her. It will all be on me. "I'm going to take your silence as a yes to this deal," and with that he hung up the phone. I grabbed my keys making sure to be quiet and left, not even thinking twice.
It's been three months and everyday I wanted to talk to her. The urge to just text her got deeper and deeper, but I knew I couldn't. She texted me continuously, trying to find out why I left or what happened, but I never replied. Eventually she stopped trying. I wasn't even sure that asshole could find out that we were texting or anything, but I remember Karma telling me his dad was rich so he could just as easily bribe someone to get the information. I couldn't risk it. I wasn't scared of him, if anything, I was scared about what would happen to Karma. I sent Paul to protect her and let me know everyday how she was. He would call me every night telling me about her. I looked forward to his calls just to hear about her. I just wanted her to be safe, and nowhere near that bastard Liam.
And then, one day, I got a call from management telling me to come in for a meeting. I thought it was some bullshit routine meeting, so I didn't really pay any attention to it. But when I walked in to see Karma and the worry on Lauren's face, I knew something was wrong.
Finn was the CEO of this management company and a real douche. He's always wanted me to be something I'm not. He only cared for the money he made off of me. He didn't care about how I felt or what I wanted. My popularity in the music industry was the main attention to him. He was a greedy son of a bitch. I knew he was up to something when I saw the damn smug look on this face. I wanted to go up to his face and slap it off of him.
When he offered the contract to fake a relationship, I panicked, because if Karma said yes, there was no way my opinion would matter. I would have to do it or he would threaten me by my job like he always did. I couldn't fake this relationship, because I had integrity and because of Liam. Karma said no without hesitation, and I was so relieved.
Words couldn't even describe how relieved I was, until he offered her a record deal. That's when I wanted to throw him out the glass window. If she said yes she would be in danger. It was her life in jeopardy not mine. I had to get out of the room when she said yes. I was almost to the door when Finn stopped me by blackmailing me with Katie. I couldn't believe he said something he would expose her to the media. It was a new low, even for him. I sat back down, closing my eyes, wondering why everything is working against me right now. Why couldn't something go right? The irrelevant girl that was always up Finn's ass was talking about this damn contract and what it consisted of. I wasn't paying attention to a word she was saying. When I got the papers I signed them and left.
There was no going back now. Liam will find out and he will come looking for Karma. I didn't know what to do. This whole situation could've been avoided if Karma said no. I was so anger at this whole entire mess. I got a text saying I had to go to the Ellen show tomorrow with Karma to announce my new found relationship with her. I had less than a day before everyone found out that Karma and I are "in a relationship."
