I Never Told You

Chapter 11

Shane had been calling and texting Liam incessantly since their fight. He wanted to make things right, he hated fighting with Liam but he was starting to get pissed with the way he was acting. He knew Liam was heartbroken but he hadn't even tried to make things right with Shane or even try and understand why he did what he did. Shane had been sitting at the lunch table alone thinking, when Amy came by.

"Hey stranger." Amy said, taking a seat in front of Shane.

"Hey." Shane said, snapping out of his thoughts.

"I know I haven't seen you in a while, I'm sorry, I've just been with Francia. What's going on with you?" Amy asked, starting to pick at her salad, she'd forgotten her lunch that day.

"Oh nothing really." Shane said.

"Come on, I know something's going on, spill it." Amy said.

"Liam and I had this huge fight and now he isn't talking to me or answering any of my calls or texts." Shane said.

"That sucks, what happened?" Amy asked.

"Oh he just.." Shane was about to tell Amy everything but stopped before he said anything; realizing just in time, what a disaster everything would become if he spilt the beans.

"He just what?" Amy asked.

"He thinks that if I'd have told him that you and Karma were faking it, they wouldn't have broken up." Shane said, impressed by his quick thinking.

"That's ridiculous. I don't know why Liam and Karma broke up but I'm sure this wasn't the reason." Amy said, getting a little irritated by the dumbness of the situation.

"Yeah well, tell that to Liam." Shane said.

"Maybe he's just really hurting right now, I know Karma is. I haven't spoken to her since they broke up, I tried calling her but she never picks up and to add to that I've just constantly been with Francia and maybe that's why she hasn't made more of an effort to talk." Amy said.

"Yeah, she's probably just figuring some things out." Shane said.

"And so is her." Amy said.

"So how's Francia?" Shane asked.

"She's gone out of town with her parents for the weekend." Amy said.

"So that's why, you have time to speak to me today." Shane said with a playful smile on his face.

"No, what's not it." Amy said, getting a little embarrassed.

Shane gave Amy a look.

"Okay, so yeah that's why but I've been meaning to talk to you anyway. "Amy said.

"What's going on?" Shane asked, smiling.

"Francia and I had a conversation about taking things forward and she said she was ready to wait." Amy said.

"But?" Shane asked.

"I think I'm ready." Amy said.

"Have you told her?" Shane asked.

"I will, once she gets back." Amy said.

"That's great!" Shane said.

They spent the rest of lunch catching up and Shane tried his best to not tell Amy everything, he'd already lost Liam, he didn't want to lose Karma too; he'd really grown close to her.

Karma had been trying to figure out ways to tell Amy how she felt but when she couldn't think of anything, she decided to call Shane.

"Hey." Karma said.
