This Is Happening

Chapter 8 - Part 2

Enjoy!

{Karma/Amy}

Amy is driving Karma home using Karma's directions as guide with Karma laying in the back while they talk and listen to the radio.

-"Hey, so I plan on staying with you, but when will your parents be coming home?"

"Well, actually they are out of town at the moment; I don't know where. They missed a lot of work because they've been with me at the hospital. But they like to spread 'Good Karma' everywhere they can and they are quite popular so, where people like, they go; more money in the bank. That's why I called you, well I was going to anyway, but I didn't want to disturb them. I was going to surprise them tomorrow because I figured they would come home really late like usual. But it turns out they are going to be really surprised."

Karma chuckles a bit, while Amy looking through the rear view mirror at Karma gets that it is an ironic situation to laugh at; but also knowing that it's not really all that funny.

-"That was going to be my second question. Because well, given your state now, you need someone with you to move and bring you things, knowing that you will be in bed. I offer, and was going to do that; or I could call a family member if you'd like?" -Amy asks sincerely.

"Awe, of course you can take care of me, isn't that what you've been doing this whole time." Karma smirks "Your my personal chauffeur and bodyguard; why not add waiting hand and foot on me too?" -Karma states jokingly.

Amy glares and states "Don't push it princess; I am not a butler." Which only causes Karma to giggle.

"In all seriousness, Amy I love you and I wouldn't have it any other way. You are the only person who has, well besides mom and dad, carried and cradled me; the only person I've ever let do so...Which humorously seems to be our thing aside from our medieval banter. Even if I had family here, which I don't, I would still want you to. Hey, we get to finally be alone, and we can really goof around and know each other even more personally...even more personal than me having an ultrasound performed in the back of your car" she says as she emits a strange expression, like she was weirded out or embarrassed. "I would love nothing more than to spend time with you. It would be better if I wasn't hurt so we could start a natural and regular relationship, and so I don't keep feeling like a sad basket case. But either way, you are here and have been every day, how could I not want you to be there and be my knight. And by the way Amy, just reminding you that I am your girlfriend, as are you; and I am your princess while you are my knight. It is your duty to protect and serve." -She says with an innocent smirk.

Amy's eyes are glaring in annoyance yet love as she states "Yeah, yeah. I solemnly swear to protect, love, and care for thy Karma...God we are really sad and cheesy."

-"Anyway...Now that we have that out of the way, and because we are really close to my house; I hope you don't mind, but since it looks like I'm staying the night, I'm going to get some things for that?" -Amy says a bit unsure.

"Of course, no problem. I'm no one to protest as for the time being you are my legs, and I am unmovable laying here in the back of your car." -Karma tries to joke with, while also having a bit of self-consciousness and embarrassment to that realization, because she is starting to feel small due to everything.

-"Okay then." -Amy simply addresses while turning her full attention back to the road as they make their way to her house.

...

When they reach Amy's house and park in the driveway, Amy turns to face Karma.

-"Are you going to be okay in here; I'll leave it running with the air and radio on? I'll be back as soon as I can, I'm just going to grab some things, and since Lauren is here I'll tell her that I will be with you and she could tell that to my mom and Bruce?" -She asks worriedly.
