Liam's POV

"Move!" I shouted, pushing through the crowd, I needed to get some air.

'That bitch!' I thought, rubbing my jaw. 'Who the fuck is she to get between Karma and I?'

From the corner of my eye, I can see Shane walking over. 'Great' I think.

"What the hell was that?" He snapped.

I stayed staring at the ground, spitting out more blood.

'Always in the fucking way!' My temper is boiling now.

"Liam!" Shane snaps again. I finally look up. "What was that, buddy?" he asks.

Spitting once more, before wiping my mouth. "It was nothing, Shane. Don't worry about it. Just a miss understanding. That's all." Standing now, I start back towards the door.

Shane grabs my arm. "That didn't look like a miss understanding, and least of all "Nothing". I know Amy, she doesn't do stuff lik-"

"Yeah? You know her that well, huh? How about your best friend Shane? You know, the one who just had his jaw busted, by that someone you "know" so well?' I asked, cutting him off. "Maybe you should ask her why she felt the need to step into something, she had no business in!" I snip back.

"Is that what this is about? Seriously, Liam? You guys are done. She's done. If you truly love her, then you should let her be. Even if it means, letting Amy win." I flinch at that thought.

"I can't Shane, I know I messed up. I know I continue messing up, but I can't just let her go. I love her Shane. Jesus, why is it so hard to just be with her?" Shane just stares. "I need to go talk to her, I need to apologize for being a drunk asshole. And… I guess apologize to Amy in the process." I say rolling my eyes.

"Liam, I don't think that's a very good idea. Just let them be. Talk to her tomorrow when you are sober. I think you've made a big enough scene for the night." I can't help but clench my teeth. 'If I could just get her away from Amy.'

Shane snaps his fingers "Liam? I think we need to find you someone to help you 'cool off'." He says.

'I guess if I can't have Karma tonight, a distraction wouldn't be so bad.' I sigh.

"Alright, lead the way wingman." I say gesturing my arms to the door.

Karma's POV

It felt so good waking up this morning. Looking to my right, I see Amy is still asleep.

The events of last night come flooding back. Liam, and his drunken escapade. His face, when Amy laid one into him. Ha, I can't help but smile at that. She's always been so protective of me, and I've always loved that about her. Sometimes I wish we could go back to when we were faking it, and make it real. Avoid the whole Liam fiasco.

Reaching over, I gently brush a strand of her hair back. She moves into my touch. She really is beautiful.

Just then I hear the doorbell ring. Listening, I hear my mother answer it, and there's a male voice that follows. I can't quite make it out. It has a hint of a girlish tone to it. 'Who the hell would be here this early on a Saturday?'

There's a quiet knock at my door. "Karma, honey? It's your mother. Are you and Amy decent?"

'How does she know Amy's he-. Oh no… She didn't hear us did she?!' My eyes grow wide at the realization.

Another knock comes, "Honey, Shane's here. He says you guys made plans to go to breakfast this morning. Are you up?"

Amy shoots up, pulling the blanket with her. "Is that your mother?!"

"and Shane." I whisper to her. "Coming!" I yell, "Give us ten minutes!"

"No morning snacks ladies! Got to save room for breakfast!" Shane quips.

"Oh. My. God. He makes it so easy to hate him sometimes. Wait, when did we make plans?" she asks.

I shoot her a 'Really?' look. "It's Shane. All parties are hardly ever involved when he makes plans."

She sighs, "Yeah, no kidding." A HUGE grin grows across her face, "Speaking of parties, and being involved," she scoots closer, "Last night was…" She pauses.

"Was what?" I ask shyly.

She exhales deeply, "Karms, last night. You know, when it happened. It felt…. It felt so fucking good hitting Liam in the jaw!" she bursts out in laughter.

"Seriously? Nothing else comes to mind? Nothing, I don't know maybe magical happened last night?" I ask with a frown.

"Well, I mean. There was this moment after that happened, when you jumped me practically attacking my face." She smirks, "and then the moment over there" she points to the desk, when I turn back she's inches from my face. "and not to forget about how you had me straddled," pushing me down, she moves her leg over my waist. "kind of like this." We might need more than 10 minutes.

"and what happened after that?" I smile.

She Slowly leans down, "Honestly, I can't recall. Might need a refresher later." She whispers in my ear, before making her way to my closet. "you closet is pretty big Karms. Ever think about having 'coming out of the closet' sexathon in it?"

You have got to be kidding me. "Could you try to be somewhat romantic?"

She turns to me, then back to the closet sizing it up. "I guess I could throw some rose pedals down, and light a few candles." She says in the most serious tone I've ever heard.

"Amy, I will make sure last night was the only chance you had with me. Are you willing to risk that for closet sex?"

She's seriously thinking about it! Rolling my eyes, "Oh my god. Come on Ames, we probably need to save Shane from my mother."

Finally making our way downstairs, I hear Shane talk about how he loves what they've done with the Garden. "Shane, it's not a garden. It's a Pot Farm. You know my parents by all their vegetables at Whole Foods." I say making my entrance. "Are you ready to go?"

"It's about time! I was starting to think you both weren't going to be hungry anymore." He winks.

"Are you kidding me?! I'm always hungry for breakfast, especially if Donuts are involved." Amy said jumping up and down. Today's going to be very interesting.

We decided on IHOP, so Amy could get something vaguely similar to a donut.

I slide into the booth next to Amy, Shane sits across from us. Only thing missing, is a small dark room, with one light overhead. We order our food and drinks. Amy gets the Banana Nutella Crepes, with hash browns on the side. I order the Country Style omelet, and Shane orders… coffee. Seriously?

"So Ladies, anyone want to explain what the hell happened last night?" he asks.

"Well, we went to your party. Fought of many drunken peers. You know, the norm for one of Shane Harvey's party." Amy quips. I can't help the laugh that escapes me.

"Yeah, yeah. Besides all of that, what particularly happened in the kitchen? Was Liam being aggressive, or were you just wanting him away from Karma, Amy?"

"He wasn't really aggressive, he was just belligerent, and the way he looked at Karma.. The way he looked at her like she was property, really set me off. He's done nothing but treat her like shit, and I'm done holding back. I don't regret what I did. He had it coming from the beginning." She said turning to face me, intertwining our fingers.

Clearing his throat, we break our stare, I look down at the table. Oh our foods here!

"Anyway, I figured as much. He was pretty heated out back. Kept mumbling some nonsense, but I talked him down the best I could. He might try and contact you sometime today Karma. Sorry. He wanted to go back and talk to you last night, but I told him that wasn't a very good idea, especially when he was drunk. You are done with him right? He still seems to be under the impression he still has a chance. You need to make it clear to him that he doesn't, that you both are done."

I nod, "I will." Looking at Amy, "Its time he knew about Amy and I's relationship." Amy gives me confused glance. "I know this is probably the worst timing ever, but I'm done holding back too." I say as I pick up one of her sliced bananas. Turning to Amy, Banana slice in hand. I take a deep breath, "Amy? Will you do me the honor of being my gorgeous, protective, crazy ass girlfriend?" I say with a huge smile.

She makes my smile. "It's about freaking time Karma! You know how long I've been waiting for you to realize how sexy and amazing" I don't even let her finish that sentence as I capture her lips with mine. Mm, she takes like chocolate and hazelnut.

Fake sobs come from across the table. "Guys, this is so beautiful. I've been waiting for this day for like… ever! I can't control how happy I am! Everyone?! Hello! Can I have everyone's attention please? Hester High's cutest couple is officially back together! Everyone please, a round of applause for the ladies."

Remember that banana slice I was holding? Yeah I threw it at him. "Sit down, Shane!"

Amy leans over, "You do know, the entire schools going to find out before Monday right? This is Shane Harvey you just told." She whispers in my ear.

"Let him tell everyone. Hell, let him tell the entire world about us Amy. I don't care. I love you, and that's all that matters." I love the smile I get from that.

"I love you too, you, crazy redhead." She smirks before kissing the top of my head.

Things could only get better from here. Right?
