Note: Same situation as chapter 1, but with Amy's thoughts on their fated first encounter before, during, and after.

In a perfect world,

One we've never known

We would never need to face the world alone

They can have the world,

We're create our own

I may not be brave, or strong, or smart,

But somewhere in my secret heart

I know love will find a way

Anywhere I go, I'm home

If you are here beside me

Love Story

Amy's POV:

Ok, ok. Breathe Amy. Take a deep breath. Don't have a panic attack. It's not like you're getting ready to meet one your favorite singers. Stop fangirling Amy. I hope I get this job. When Lauren said she was friends with the leader singer of Caustik- Karma Ashcroft, I almost didn't believe her. She had to call Karma to prove it. Anyway, here I am. Waiting for an escort to her room. I've never felt so nervous in my life. Lauren put in contact with Shane, Caustik band manager and I was shocked when he said he would agree to hire me if Karma said yes.

They must be more desperate than I realize. Or maybe Karma is a tough client to please. I mean she is a rockstar, so she probably has high demands of her personal assistant. I hope I don't end up making an ass of myself in front of her since I'm so starstruck with charisma, talent, and beauty. You could say I have a crush on her, but there's no way in hell she swings that way. I mean she is dating Liam Booker, a successful actor. Compared to him, I might as well be no name nobody. It sucks. Unrequited love. But, I'll have to put my feelings aside and deal with it when I cross that bridge.

Anyway, as I'm sitting on a chair backstage, I see a short, young man fastly approaching me.

"You Amy?" He asks me. "Yes. Are you Cameron?" I ask in return. "Yep, Karma is ready to see you. Follow me." He beckons me to follow. I silently comply and we head to her dressing room. We stop at the door and he knocks on the door. After a brief conversation I can barely hear, he closes the door, and whispers to me, "Good luck. She's in a mood, but you're a nice girl, so you'll probably be ok. Break a leg." He winks, and leaves me be.

Here goes nothing. I open the door and there she is sitting in her chair. I'm blown away by how gorgeous she is up close. Between the deep, chocolate eyes to the luscious brown-auburn hair to the slightly pouty lips. I'm in awe and I just stare at her like a moron. I maintain one shred of composure to keep me from drooling like a lovesick teenager.

Oh dear! She's coming closer. Be cool, Amy, be cool. Stay calm and take a deep breath.

"I'm Karma." She says, introducing herself.

"I'm Amy." I quickly reply.

We shake hands, and I instantly feel a jolting shock. I wonder if she felt it to? Maybe, given the way she's checking me out. I don't know though, I've always been bad at reading the signs. Probably why I'm still single, that or I fall for the wrong person. I don't think the latter is the case this time. It feels right, a connecting moment between us.

Before I can stop myself, I blurt out without thinking, "I know I only got this job through Shane via Lauren's recommendation, but I appreciate the opportunity and I won't let you down. I promise." I ramble with a tiny, quiet mumble thrown in.

Oh crap! Now I've done it. Way to go Amy. Great job freaking her out. I sigh.

"Glad to hear it." She replies while smiling at me.

Whoa! Does that mean I got the job? And as far as Liam Booker is concerned, damn. I hope they don't work out. Does that make me a terrible person? Maybe, but I want Karma now too. I'll fight tooth and nail for her affection as well. I always assumed love stories were an illusion in fairy-tales and other works of fiction created to provide false hope to people. Boy, was I mistaken. I thought I wasn't a believer in true love or love at first sight, but locking gazes with Karma changed my mind. I'm so glad I was proven wrong. 'Thank you Lauren,' I silently pray.
