Amy's POV
'Shit.. What have I gotten myself into? She was pulling me in right? I wasn't dreaming that? And was she flirting with me before she left? Gah, her lips were so close. Wait, what am I saying. I can't go down that road again. She's just hurting. Yeah, that's it.' My thoughts were interrupted with loud banging on the door.
"Amy! I need to use the bathroom, you've been sitting in there doing God knows what for thirty minutes! Get. Out!" I roll my eyes. Quickly spitting the toothpaste out. "Alright alright."
I swing open the door to meet Lauren. "My majesty, your throne awaits thee." And with that I was back into my room, slamming the door shut.
Letting out a huge sigh. 'Doing homework right now is useless, I can't concentrate for shit. It's been 17 hours, and 6 minutes since I last heard or saw Karma. I can't help but think I'm somehow the one to blame. Did I misread her?'
Just then I hear my phone chime. I jump towards it hoping it's Karma. 'Of course it's Shane..' I sigh.
Shane(4:39pm): Hey Buddy! I hear Kiam is finally out, and Karmy is so in!
Kiam?
Karmy?
Seriously? I roll my eyes.
Amy(4:41pm): Did you seriously just give us ship names? Besides, there isn't going to be any Karmy. She's my best friend and that's all she is, okay?
Shane(4:43pm): Oh please. Who are you trying to convince?! Come on, even when she was with Liam, she'd still look at you with such love in her eyes. I don't care what you or she says. It's clear as day how she feels towards you. Just make your move, Raudenfeld!
Maybe he's right. I mean, there was something in her eyes yesterday. Something different, a new realization almost.
Amy(4:47pm): I mean.. We did almost kiss yesterday, and she seemed different compared to all the other times she come over crying. Idk Shane, what if you're wrong? I can't go through that pain again.
Shane(4:49pm): First of all, you almost kissed?! Details now! Second, how dare you question my integrity! I'm hurt, Amy. Thirdly, could you honestly live without knowing if that "almost" kiss could have been something more?
Amy(4:51pm): I don't kiss and tell.. ;) Ugh. Shaane.. What do I do? She hasn't even tried talking to me since all that happened. What if she's freaked out again, what if I assumed and made the wrong move?!
Shane(4:52pm): Technically you didn't kiss, so you can tell! ;) I know you are scared Amy, but sometimes you just have to take that risk, and you've got to stop putting the blame on yourself. If anything, she is just as much in the wrong as you are.
Amy(4:54pm): I promise to tell you, the day I am on my death bed. :)
Amy(4:55pm): I guess I can see this through. I just hope, come tomorrow, things aren't awkward.
Shane(4:56pm): Everything's going to be fine Amy. Who knows maybe she's now an Amysexual. ;) g2g, see you tomorrow!
It's going to be a very long night. Maybe I could walk to her house? No, Amy. This is just as much on her than it is me. I do have this homework to finish.
I got all of maybe 3 hours of sleep, I couldn't shake how today might play out. I check my messages. I have one from Shane, one from Oliver, and…. Douchebag? What the hell could Liam possibly want?
Douchebag Booker(7:06am): Hey Amy, I know I am probably the last person you want to hear from right now, but I was wondering if Karma was with you. I went to her house last night, but Molly said she was out. She won't return my calls or texts. Please let me know if she's with you.
Karma wasn't home? Maybe she told Molly not to let him in. I don't care, I need to make sure she's there, and ok.
I don't even bother replying to Liam. I quickly jump in the shower, and get ready. I am out the door by 7:45 heading towards Karma's place.
Walking up her driveway, I notice Molly, and Lucas' car is gone. I make my way to the backdoor, grabbing the spare key under the seriously freaky garden gnome, letting myself in. It's eerily quiet, as I make my way to her room. Stopping just outside, I take a deep breath in. I hope she's not mad, and if she's not I hope she doesn't become mad at me for breaking in.
Shaking my thoughts, I turn the handle. Entering a still very dark room. Those black out curtains really work. I can barely make out a small figure still lying in bed.
"Karms?" I whisper. Getting no response, I move closer to the bed. God, she looks beautiful. Her auburn hair's sprawled out across her pillow.
"Karma?" I say a bit louder, while climbing into bed next to her. She finally starts to move, letting out a small groan. "Amy?"
"Hey, yeah it's me. Why are you still in bed? You know we have school in less than thirty minutes, right?" I say gently. "Ames, I think I'm sick. Ever since I got home Saturday evening, I've been coughing and sneezing. I think I have a cold." She says weakly.
Pressing the back of my hand to her forehead, I can tell she is pretty warm. "You do feel warm Karms, can I get you anything? Water? Cool rag? Crackers?" I ask.
"No Ames, you really shouldn't be here, I don't want you to get sick." I smile at her concern. "Seriously Karma? I'm not going anywhere, knowing that my best friend could possibly be on her death bed right now." I get a pretty weak slap to the arm for that one. "Amy! Don't say stuff like that. This could be something much worse than a cold. Especially after my mother making me drink this ginger, kale concoction."
I can't help but let out a big laugh at that one. "You are not going to die Karma. I wouldn't let that happen. Besides, if I do leave. Who are you going to binge watch Netflix with? Hmm? Who's going to go downstairs and grab all the junk food you have?"
"Those seem like very valid points, but you know my parents don't keep junk food in this house." She says with a small laugh. I could listen to that laugh forever. Wrapping my arms around her waist bringing her closer.
"Well, then I guess I have no choice, but to empty my house of its sweet and salty treats" I say with a smirk. She scoots back further into me; I can't help but smile into the back of her neck.
"You'd do that for me Ames?"
"I'd do anything for you Karma. You are my best friend, and I couldn't stand the thought of you withering away in this cold dark room," I say playfully.
She then turns around, her face only inches from mine. I stare into those deep hazel eyes, can't help but get lost in them. "Amy?" "Mhm?" I whisper. "Have you ever been so scared to go for something so important, only to hold back because you're scared of getting hurt?" "I have" I simply say.
"How do you deal with something like that?" she asks. I lay there thinking. "I don't know Karms. I guess you won't ever know unless you take that risk."
Just then she springs forward, catching my lips. It takes me a second to respond, but when I do I return it with a bit more fever behind it. Running my tongue across her bottom lip, she lets out a tiny moan. I take her bottom lip between my teeth. After a few moments of some seriously hot kisses, she breaks away. "I don't want to get you sick." She says. "Have I ever told you that I have the immune system of a champion?" I say as I go back to capture her lips. She smiles into the kiss, pushing me back a bit. "Ames, as much as I would LOVE to continue this, I really don't want you getting sick." She says sweetly.
I smile, "Okay, we will hold off until I nurse you back to full health! Starting with all the junk food my house can stash. Want to find something on Netflix, while I run back to my house?"
She nods. "Hurry back to me." Shooting another sweet smile, as I walk out of her room.
