As The World Keeps Turning

Chapter 15

Karma's POV

After Amy makes her decision, a few months pass as me being the best friend watching from the sidelines. It hurts to watch Amy and Reagan together, but I know that it's for the best. They seem happy, so who am I to try to stop it? I already tried that before and look where that got me...

Reagan and I became close friends. She's actually a really great girl when she's not acting crazy and possessive over Amy, and I'm glad that we were able to build some type of relationship.

As for Amy and I, we're good. But now I know how she felt when she was trying to hide her feelings for me, and to be honest, it sucks. It gets worse everyday, seeing her happy without me, but I try to let it go and just let her be happy. But every time I see her, I secretly hope that she'll tell me that I'm the one...

It's a Friday night in March and right now I'm just excited that Amy is coming over to have one of our traditional girls nights. We haven't had one in a while, she's always had some excuse to be with Reagan, which irritates me to no end. I deserve my time alone with her don't I?

I try to keep myself busy around the house until I can finally see Amy later on.

Amy's POV

When Reagan's lips crash to mine, I loose myself. Every single time she kisses me, it's like the first time, and I can't get enough. A moan slips from my lips and I flip over so that Reagan is underneath me, with her hands intertwined in my hair. My hands run over her toned body and I hook my thumbs in her waistline.

Then my phone rings.

I groan and look at Reagan apologetically before reaching over to grab my phone. Karma's name lights up the screen and I answer it, trying to slow my breathing.

"Hey Karms." I gulp

"Hi Amy, um are you busy?" She must be able to hear my labored breathing.

"Not really no. I'm getting ready to leave for your place actually." Reagan looks up at me and grabs my hand mouthing the words "don't go".

"Great! Can't wait!" I can practically hear her smile through the phone, which makes one of my own grow on my face.

"Ok. See you in a bit Karms." I hang up the phone and look over at Reagan. "I'm sorry Rae but I really have to go this time. I can't keep canceling on her to stay here and make out with you for the rest of my life..."

She leans over to place a sweet and lingering kiss on my lips and I feel my insides melt just a little. "But why not Shrimp Girl?" She asks into the kiss and bites my lower lip gently.

I kiss her back for a good few minutes before reluctantly pulling away. "I gotta go Rae. I'm sorry."

She lets me go, kisses my forehead and offers me a small smile. "Fine. But don't forget our date tomorrow. I have to talk to you about something ok?"

I raise an eyebrow at her. "Ok. I won't forget."

She kisses me on the lips before heading out of my window.

I pack up my stuff for Karma's house and quickly head out the door.

We haven't had one of these nights in a while. I keep blowing her off and I feel awful about it. The truth is, I know I'm hurting her by being with Reagan and I can see it in her eyes. I also know that it makes me a terrible person to see what's happening and ignore it anyway. She has the same look that I had when she chose Liam over me, and I feel like the worst person in the world for making her be that way.

My feelings are complicated. Every time I'm with Karma it feels like I'm hiding something, but I don't know what it is. I know I still love her though. That much is true. I just know that Reagan and I deserve a fighting chance, and we should finish what we started. Is that so wrong?

When I knock on Karma's door, she opens it in less that two seconds, almost as if she was waiting for me.

"Amy!" She squeals and pulls me into an excited hug. "I missed youuu." She whines.

I hug her back tightly. "I missed you too." I walk in and plop onto the couch. "So what's on the agenda for tonight captain?" I smirk at her.

"The usual really. Cookies, twilight, magazines, Ya know. Stuff like that."

For the first time in a while, I feel like things are kinda the way they were before everything got so screwed up in my little "love triangle" and I couldn't be any happier with the way things played out tonight. Later on after binge eating cookies, Karma snuggled into me while we watched Breaking Dawn part one for what probably was the 300th time.

The rest of the night played out pretty normally. I didn't mention Reagan once, and I could tell that she appreciated that a lot. When we finally went to bed, I kissed her goodnight on the cheek and she blushed so badly, it was adorable. It's the moments like these where I really want to kiss her on the lips and tell her that I love her... Too bad I can't.

Karma's POV

Today was perfect actually. I love just being with Amy with no Reagan around, it was a nice change from the last couple months. I want her to myself all the time, and that just barely happens anymore. While she sleeps, I snuggle into her. I'm hoping that if she wakes up, she'll think it was just an unconscious accident and won't think anything of it.

To my surprise, the wraps her arm around me and leans her head into my shoulder during her sleep, and I smile to myself at the closeness. I'm fine just staying like this. At least it means I can be with her...

When I wake up the next morning, her legs are intertwined with my own and I don't even try to move because she just feels so good next to me. When she wakes up, she quickly pulls her legs away and looks at me apologetically. "I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to do that..." She stuffers.

"Amy it's ok." I offer her a gentle smile.

She just nods and gets out of bed. "Wanna make breakfast with me?" She asks.

"Yeah let's do it."

We go downstairs to attempt to make bacon and eggs, and surprisingly, everything turns out great. Later on, Amy is getting ready to leave. Apparently she has other plans tonight. Before she goes, I pull her into a hug. The hug probably lasted a little too long for just "friends" but I didn't care. When she leaves, I miss her right away. I go back up to my room and lay on my bed. I can feel my phone vibrate underneath me.

Thinking its Amy, I go to look at it. I'm surprised when I see a text from Reagan.

"I'm having a serious talk with Amy in a little while, and I don't think she's going to take it well... It breaks my heart to say this but you need to catch her when she falls. I'll explain later. Please just... Pick up the pieces... -R"

*I know I just posted a chapter a few hours ago, but this is necessary I think. A bunch of you were messaging me and reviewing that you didn't like the last story. I can't blame you, but I DO have a direction I'm trying to go in. Just hear me out for a bit, ok? Thank you.*

(sidenote: I don't actually think Reagan is as psychotic as she's been in this story, I just felt like it would be a good enhancement to her character. I LOVE Reagan. No hate here.)
