I say I have it together but do I really? I awaken to find a box with all my shit in it from Karma. It even had her friendship bracelet in it, the one we've had since we were kids. Well, now I'm all sad. My mom suggest I find another best friend, but she doesn't get it. I don't think she will. Yes, you don't sleep with your best friend's boyfriend, but they weren't even officially together!
When I got to school, of course Karma was giving me the silent treatment. The lunch lady gives me shit but I told her I was working on mending the relationship. I get a call from Reagan about our upcoming camping trip that I'm becoming less and less excited about by the minute.
"Am I moving to fast? Camping is one step away from a U-Haul."
"No, and I'm still gonna be there. I-I got into a fight with Karma."
"You guys are always getting into fights. Can't this wait till we get back?"
Seriously? If it was her and her best friend...
"No, it can't. I need a little time to smooth things over, please."
"You've got until six. After that I'm leaving. With or without you."
Great. I find Molly, Karma's mom, to get her to talk to Karma for me, but Karma swoops in and ruins my chance. Obviously Karma's mom has no idea what's going on with us. Before anything is explained, her mom and dad get arrested... wait for it, by Theo. Fucking Theo! Apparently Theo is a cop. He and the other cops try to arrest Karma too. I tried to intervene, but of course she didn't want my help. Liam and Shane walk up and get into it with Theo. Liam tries to punch him and fails, but I didn't. Now I can go to jail too and finally talk to Karma.
When we got to the courthouse, I let a lady take a look at my hand. Why? Why the hell not? I sat across from Karma and begged her to talk to me.
"Amy please explain how you could have sex with my boyfriend and then lie to my face about it for weeks!"
"Amy, you had sex with a boy?!?"
Karma turns to her mom, "Focus on the crushing betrayal!" She turns back to me, "You did the one thing you knew I could never forgive. You left me no choice but to hate you, and I hate you for that!"
"Just to be clear, I'm not interested in Liam. I only slept with him because I wanted to hurt you in the worst way possible." I paused for a bit, "Remember when you saved up all that money to buy that Cinderella dress and you kept it in my room so your mom wouldn't see it-
"Karma!"
"Wow, I'm really screwing this up. My point is, that you were always fantasizing about missing your Prince Charming. I was happy just to share a cardboard castle with you. And it wasn't until we kissed in the gym that I realized why. I've been in love with you since the day we met and suddenly we were pretending to be a couple and there was hand-holding and kissing and threesomes-I started to have hope. Hope that you were realizing your Prince Charming was Princess Sarcastic. But when that hope died my heart broke and I was hurt and angry and I just wanted cause you pain. Then I got drunk and Liam was there like a human sledgehammer and then I sobered up and I knew I made a big mistake of my life, and I knew that if you found out-
"Okay, time's up."
"Screw the time! You said that we could get through anything. Karma, this is anything. Please give me a chance to earn your trust back!"
I decided it was all or nothing. I held my half of our best friend necklace over the toilet, threatening to ditch it of Karma doesn't make a decision right here. I began to lower it down when she stopped me.
"Wait!"
An hour or two later, we were released from the courthouse. Karma's parents have no idea who got us off the hook. Karma and I, of course, knew it was Liam. I offered to skip my camping trip to hang with her, but Karma wouldn't let me so we said our goodbyes. I then went on my camping trip with Reagan, where she begins to dive into my neither region.
"I love camping..." I say in a daze.
"I love camping too." Reagan said, I think. I wasn't really paying attention.
She gives me a quick kiss then ventures back down. Then something really weird happens and I mean REALLY WEIRD. When she comes back up it's no longer Reagan, its Karma! Then Karma kisses me and when I open my eyes she's gone. Then I turn over to my side and it's Liam! Where is everyone disappearing too?!? Then we start making out and then I wake up. Reagan is asleep next to me as I struggle to catch my breath.
The weekend has ended and I am now back home. It was eventful I guess. Reagan drops me off as the sun sets and I wave as she pulls away. When I get to my room I immediately cover my mouth to keep from screaming.
"Liam? What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in here?!?"
He shrugged, "The window?"
I glare at him, "Well, I'll now be locking it."
"I need to talk to you."
I put my bag down and headed for the bathroom. I checked to see if Lauren was inside, then started the shower.
"Talk about what?"
"Us."
I rolled my eyes, "There is no us. My relationship with Karma comes first."
"You should know, we hooked up."
I tried to look unbothered, but it bothered me.
I shrugged, "Big deal."
"It doesn't bother you?"
"NO!" I yelled a little too loud.
"You do whatever the hell you want with Karma. I'm with Reagan and I don't care. Why would you even tell me that anyways? Trying to make me jealous?"
"No... what-what happened with Reagan?"
"None of your business. Are we done?"
"No we're not done Amy! We need to hash this out, it's driving me crazy, and has been since we slept together."
"What has?"
"I like you! Okay? I said it. I have feelings for you. No matter how many times I say I'm with Karma and that I want to be, I can't stop thinking about you either."
He walks a little closer, "I know you have feelings for me too Amy."
He walks until he's a foot away. He does nothing but stare at me. I could feel him breathing and my expression softens. Before I knew it we were kissing. He pulled me in and held me tight. I kissed him back even harder as we fell back on my bed. What the hell am I doing? And why can't I stop?
