What's wrong with me?

I had never been this nervous before and yet here I was looking like a tomato as I walked into the house thinking about how me and James would be sharing a room now.

Don't be silly it's not like he wants to sleep with you. There was that voice in my head again, I wish it would just go away. I had never been this self -conscious around James before.

"Um Bea?" James called from behind me. "Yeah?" I said, remembering that I must have looked so creepy just standing there like a fool. He suddenly smiled and walked over to me. He took my hands in his and started to lean closer. Suddenly, I blushed and turned my face away from his.

He frowned and put his hand on my cheek. "What's wrong, did I do something?" I smiled shyly and started to walk up the stairs. I needed to get a hold of myself.

He was following me.

I got to my room but when we both got inside, he put both of his hands next to my head on the back of the door and smirked. He caught up. I smirked too, two could play this game. Suddenly, I was feeling much more confident.

I put my mouth against his earbud and whispered, "Couldn't get enough?" And then I started to place small kisses down his earlobe and his neck. He groaned. "I've missed you so much Bea," He whispered. I smiled against his neck and whispered, "Me too James, me too."

I took his hand and led him to my bed. "Hey Bea" He started. "No funny business James, I just want to sit with you." I told him. I was tired of messing around with guys and using them for sex. All I needed was someone to talk to, I needed to feel loved again.

We sat down, him sitting across from me and we just stared at each other. We were both silent and memorizing every detail from each other's faces. It had been so long, I needed him with me again, I missed the feeling that I got when I was with him.

He rubbed his thumb over mine, and he started to speak. "How's your life been since that night?" "Tell me about everything that I've missed." He was genuinely smiling and it made me feel at home once again. I told him to lay down, he smirked and put his head on my lap.

I started to tell him about everything from how I felt after that night to how I met Sean's friends. I didn't even notice that I was running my hands through his hair and he was watching me as I stared off into the distance as I spoke, smiling every now and then. He was listening intently, chuckling every now and then.

We spent the rest of the afternoon taking turns talking about how we'd both been since the night where we had lost each other. Everything was slowly going back to normal and my life was coming together again. In the time being, me and James had forgiven each other for all the mistakes that we had made in the past. I was happy. And I knew that I wouldn't be called Karma again for long time.

I had put everything behind me, it was all in the past now. I had nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. Except that I had to get into a good college and continue my life as someone new. Someone without all this pain in their life. It was funny that the return of James had fixed everything.

I knew that I wasn't broken anymore, that I had found my other half once again, even though we had a lot of catching up to do. But everything would be alright in the end.

James pov

She is so beautiful.

I was lost in my thoughts as I waited for Bea to come out of the shower. I had finally found her, who knew that I would be so happy once I did. The way that she walked, her beautiful posture curving in my memory. The way that her nose would scrunch every time that she was angry, and how she would raise her eyebrow and smirk.

It's funny how finding her made my heart rest from all this pain. It was all clear now. She had done it all for my safety, if she hadn't loved me, she would've killed me and not once looked back that night. Instead, she told me to run, she told me to escape it all.

She was so brave and strong, she put up a front that she didn't need anyone but inside she was hurting. But I was going to fix it, I was going to make her feel beautiful and love every part of her.

I heard soft footsteps and I looked up from my spot on the sofa. When I saw the dress she was wearing I thought of the second time I had met her, at a picnic.
****
I was sitting on the bench talking to Kayden when heard a snarky voice that I recalled very well. "Say that one more time and I'll wipe the smirk off your face bitch."

I heard Kayden chuckle from next to me as I looked over to the owner of the voice. It was her. The girl I had seen at the club that day, the one who was about to break off my arm. She was wearing a red sundress that showed her big backside and luscious breasts. Her hair was a chocolate brown and her skin looked smooth to the touch from all the way here.

I could tell that everyone's eyes were on the two girls standing in the middle of the picnic tables, especially all the boys. The girl, who's name I remembered was Karma stood taller when she noticed all the eyes, and the other girl shrunk back a little. Karma smirked, crossing her hands on her chest, with very much attitude.

The other girl regained her confidence then and stepped closer to Karma. "You whore!" She said, attempting to push Karma beside a little bit. I could tell that this made Karma angry because she was now fuming, but remaining calm. "Oh that's it." She muttered under her breath as she rose her fist to punch the other girl in the face.

Karma went ahead and punched the girl on the cheek, and as much as I thought that was hot, that punch must've hurt like a bitch, judging by the way the other girl fell to the floor.

"Karma's a bitch honey." She smirked over the other girl's face, and stated sweetly. Then a boy came rushing out of nowhere, probably just hearing of the fight, he paused next to Karma and whispered something in her ear. She smirked and started to walk over to the bench where I was sitting, where all the food was. The boy followed her.

"What do you want Will?" She rolled her eyes picking up a drink from the table. "You can't just go around starting fights with everyone Bea." He said. Bea? I thought it was Karma. Then she looked over my way. She looked surprised for a second then she looked to the boy again, who looked a few years older than her. "Listen I know you're my brother and stuff, but you don't have to follow me around everywhere I go, I'm not a little girl anymore." Clearly. I smirked, laughing in my head at my own joke.

Her brother rolled his eyes and gave Ka-Bea a hug and said, "I'm only worried about you." "I know." She smiled and let go of him. "Now go do whatever you were doing before I'll be fine unless that bitch comes and tries anything again." She smirked, pushing her brother away from her. She shook her head, smiling until she looked over to me and said, "Stop drooling, Jay, do you want me to pose or something?" I smirked at her, noticing how her face glowed underneath the sun.

"Using my own line against me, Bea?" I smirked at her. She rolled her eyes and sat down next to me. I liked her already.
****
She was wearing that same red dress, maybe on purpose but it was doing something to me. Oh god, I can't take this. I thought inside of my head. She was driving me crazy. It had only been a day but I was already so smitten with her again.

She smiled while saying, "Want to go on a picnic?" I smiled at her. In a way this was like starting all over again, from the beginning of our story. We were going to fix how things went this time, we were going to find the love that we had lost, and cherish it, the way it was meant to be.
