I Never Told You

Chapter 10

Karma hadn't stopped thinking about Liam and Amy, since she'd broken up with Liam. She hated hurting Liam like that, he was great but he wasn't what she wanted; she wanted Amy but she didn't know how to tell Amy or even if she should tell her anything at all.

Amy and Francia were lying on Amy's bed, making out. Francia's hand started moving toward, the hem of Amy's shirt.

"I think we should stop. I just don't think I'm ready." Amy said.

"I understand." Francia said, sitting up next to Amy.

"I really want to do this with you but I just don't know if now's the right time to do it." Amy said.

"Hey, it's okay. I understand and we can wait for as long as you need." Francia said.

"Really?" Amy asked, a little shocked and touched by how understanding Francia was being.

"Yeah, absolutely." Francia said.

"I just want it to be right, I want it to be perfect." Amy said.

"We can wait till we feel like it's the perfect time and moment. None of this matters, as long as I get to be with you. I'll wait for as long as you need, I promise." Francia said.

Amy couldn't help but smile at how lucky she'd gotten. She'd found the perfect girlfriend, someone who was so beautiful, inside and out. She'd never thought she'd find someone who'd love her the way Francia did, understand her the way Francia did. All the wait and the pain it took to get to a place where she could be with someone as amazing as Francia, finally started feeling worth the wait.

Amy leaned in to kiss Francia, as if to thank her for understanding, for sticking around, for loving her.

Liam had never felt this way before; he was just so heartbroken. Everything hurt and he couldn't even remember how he'd gotten here. He'd seen Shane and Karma talking a lot at school, before their break up and the thought that Shane might have known something about this, kept nagging him. He wanted to believe that Shane wouldn't keep something like that from him, but after everything that had happened this past year, he just couldn't rule out the possibility that Shane knew but didn't tell him. The thought was driving him crazy and so he decided to go over to Shane's house and talk things through with him.

"Hey." Shane said, moving aside to let Liam in.

"Hey, I have to ask you something." Liam said.

"Sure, what's going on?" Shane asked, taking a seat on his couch.

"I just keep getting this feeling that you knew that Karma was in love with Amy and I know it's crazy but I just had to ask you. You didn't know anything, did you?" Liam asked.

Shane took a deep breath. "I wanted to tell you but Karma said, she wanted to be the one to do it."

"God damn it Shane! How could you do this to me for a second time?" Liam said.

"I just thought that it would be better for you to hear it from her than me." Shane said.

"You could've warned me. How could you do this, after you knew that the last secret you kept almost destroyed our friendship." Liam said.

"I was just trying to help Karma. You don't get how difficult it is to be confused and lost." Shane said.

"I was confused and lost too Shane, maybe not in the same way but I was. I needed my best friend to look out for me, the way I've always looked out for him." Liam said.

"I am looking out for you." Shane said.

"Yeah right, you're suppose to be my best friend." Liam said.
