I'm a confused little chicken. So Liam, who I hate now, has decided to ruin my life. I should at least get a text back. He owes me that! I sat in bed feeling sick and down on myself. My phone beeped and who I expected to be Liam was actually... Karma? Shouldn't she be hating me right now? She wants me to meet her at the Café. I groan not really wanting to deal, but I get up anyways.


When I arrive I spot Karma sitting at a table with an extremely large hat on. I sit down in front of her and she smiles at me.

I gesture to her hat, "Bad hair day?"

"Umm, no. I just wanted to try something different today."

She takes it off and puts it in the empty chair beside her.

I sigh, "Karma—

Before I can get another word in, her mom walks over with two other women. Apparently her mom hasn't told her friends that Karma isn't actually a lesbian. They still think we're together. Molly's got some explaining to do, and she does we get back to Karma's home/backyard. Karma's pissed that her mom has yet to tell her friends that Karma's straight. Molly explains that she really needs this for her PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) group. She's lost her home, her weed business and she needs to beat some bitch name Jackie, for president, whose son is actually gay. I try to convince Karma to go to this hoedown square dance fundraiser for Molly. She's hesitant, but reluctantly agrees.


I leave Karma's without an actually discussion and spend a bit of time with my dad. When we get home he meets Bruce for the first time. It's sad, Bruce has no idea this guy is screwing his wife. After that awkward debacle, it was time for the PFLAG party. Where Karma and I have to pretend to be a lesbian couple... again. This is where we found out that Jackie the bitch's son is Shane! Yes, our Shane and he brought fucking Booker... great. When we separate for a bit Shane is so convinced that I'm not over Karma. Huh, Liam hasn't told him yet... predictable. Well, since Karma already knows.

"I'm fucking Liam and I think I might be pregnant..."

Woah, where did that last part come from?!? Oh what the hell, you all were thinking it.

His mouth drops, "What the fuck?!? Does Liam know? Does Karma know?!?"

"Does Karma know what?"

We turned and smiled nervously when Karma walked up.

"Does Karma know that I'm a bad square dancer?" I chuckled nervously.

She scoffed, "Amy who isn't?"


A little while later, Molly has us talking to some of her PFLAG members.

"Every day that I'm with her I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world. We're not only best friends and lovers, we're soulmates." Karma bluffs.

Right at that moment my mom walks up and catches the tail end of that convo. I had to pull her away to avoid us getting caught in yet another lie. Can you believe she blew up on me?!? Upset that I was with Karma again, I didn't even have a chance to tell her I really wasn't. I walked away from the situation frustrated and found Karma. She was upset and I feel for her. She thinks Molly is only proud of her for her fake romantic relationship with me. I suggest that we don't let moms and boys ruin our night. I grabbed her and we hopped aboard a mechanical bull. We were on it for quite a bit before we got bucked off. We helped each other up as Karma fixed my hair. This moment, right now, reminds me why I fell in love with her. For a second I thought she was going to kiss me in front of everyone, but she pulled away. Of course, foolish of me to expect anything else. My mom pulled me to the side and wanted to apologize for freaking out a minute ago. She shouldn't have gotten so upset about me and Karma. So I decided to actually tell her that this was fake. We were just doing this for tonight to help out Karma's mom. I knew she was trying to hide her sigh of relief, but it was too noticeable.

"I know how complicated things can be with a first love. I just didn't want you holding onto hope like I did with your father. You know, it's years later and he's finally here—

I give her a look.

"For you!"

"Mom—

"I'm just saying maybe people really can change."

I look across the room at Karma and she gives me a tender wave.


Karma and I took a minute to ourselves and danced to a slow song.

"I wish it could always be like this." Karma says as she lays her head down on my chest.

"Yeah, me too." I say with a smile.

No stop it Amy! You can't fall for her again. She's conflicted, you're confusing, and you might be impregnated by a fucking Booker! Our slow dance was interrupted by Molly who makes a shocking announcement.

"My daughter Karma is straight. I let you all believe that she was gay because I wanted it to be true, but I have to accept the fact that my daughter will never, ever be a lesbian."

By the time Molly had finished her speech I was out the door. I needed air and a reality check. Surprisingly I found my dad outside talking in hush tones on his phone. Apparently they want him to go on another assignment, but he wants to stick around... for me. As much as I want him to stay, it's not good for mom. So I tell him to take the job. When I get back inside I tell mom that dad is gone and now she needs to start telling the truth, starting with Bruce. She and Bruce leave together and I leave Lauren alone to find Karma with her mom.

"We need to talk." I say and guide her back outside.


We walk outside away from the party, "Okay, no more avoidance. Yesterday Liam told you we're still sleeping together, and just like last time you we're only mad at him. Tell me how you feel!"

"I—I don't want to talk about this Amy. I think if I did I would've mentioned something by now."

"But why?!?"

"Because it hurts! Okay?!?" she yells as tears started to appear in her eyes.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere.

"You mean because Liam slept with me?"

"No..." She said walking closer.

"Because you slept with Liam..."

Taking me by shock, she fucking kisses me! And although I'm completely dumbfounded, I kiss her back.

"What the hell?!?"

We pulled away to see Liam staring at us.

"Karma?"

"Liam."

"Amy... are you pregnant?!?"

"Liam!"

"Amy?"

I look back and forth between the two and grunt. "Fucking Shane Harper!"
