My eyes slowly crept open as the light from the morning sun crept into the room through the curtain's open side. I huffed, why didn't I close those shut last night? I looked to my side. A sound asleep Amy rested on my arms. Oh yeah, I had other things in mind, true enough.

Her naked body was wrapped under the sheets and her head rested on my chest. I smiled as I brushed one thin strand of her hair behind her ear. She shifted slightly and snuggled more into me but didn't wake up.

I looked up to the ceiling, trying to think when was the last time I have felt so complete as I did right now. Honestly, I didn't think I ever did. And I thought back to all the times I have been a bitch to her. God, I hated myself for that.

Kind of ironic though, I had fallen for the girl I loathed the most. Life was funny like that I guess. It seemed like a lifetime ago. Everything that happened, the bet, my hate towards her; at the end I was the one that ended up broken.

Well, in a good way I mean, she broke my shell, made the old Katherine vanish, and now I'm a whole new person. I just hoped that now I'd be good enough for her.

"Why are you frowning like that?" I heard her say lazily barely opening her eyes as she looked at me. I giggled.

"Nothing really, well, thinking of how ironic life can be." I said back, she nodded.

"I guess you're right, if it wasn't for that paper we had to write together I think you would still hate me no?" She said propping her elbows on the bed. I nodded quickly, of course she didn't know the reason I was acting nice was the bet. Well, at least at first.

"Yes, you're right." I said smiling trying my best to hide my guilt. Way to go Katherine, you know the best relationships start with lies right? God, I wanted to shoot myself.

"Oh shit, the paper! Oh shit! My whole fucking school year!" She screamed suddenly distracting me from my inner thoughts.

I smiled this time, at least that was something I had taken care of.

"Don't worry Amy; you had enough grades to pass before you went into a coma. And for the paper, I did it." She frowned.

"Wait, you did?" I nodded. She smiled brightly and kissed me.

"Thank you Kate! You saved my year!" She said hugging me tightly. I hugged her back. God, if felt good to have her in my arms.

"Well you did most of it by yourself. I guess being a nerd does pay off. I mean you're going to pass with a C- or something but still, it's a pass." I said back and she nodded.

"I'm just happy I won't have to do everything again. Especially after all that happened. I couldn't handle one more year of high school."

"Believe me, you won't have to. I talked to principal Griffin; he said you'd be going straight to college. And also, he considered the coma, so your final grades won't affect your scholarship." I said smiling and she hugged me tighter.

"You know something I just noticed?" She whispered against my neck, I shivered slightly.

"What? "

"Well, we're alone, naked, in bed... and talking about school. Something doesn't follow. Don't you agree?" She said looking up at me and I smirked.

"You know what? You're completely right."

"I don't know what I was thinking when I trusted you to take care of this. It was simple enough; get her out of the city. What part of that can't you understand?" She screamed at me. Her eyes filled with fury. I hated when she got like that.

"Mom, this is just a minor setback. I can still do it. Don't worry; she'll be out of our lives before you know it." I tried to reason with her.

"Ha! You better hope so because you know, if your father ever finds out about her, we're both finished. There will be nothing left for us. She'll get everything. And I'll be damned if I'll let a little nobody like her mess up with my life. I worked hard for what I've got."

"I still don't understand why you're so upset about it. It's not like he even knows she exists." I argued. She was no threat to us.

"God, how could I give birth to someone so stupid? If we could find her what makes you think he won't? The whole reason he moved to this damned town was to find that old whore of his. We're just lucky she's dead, if not we'd be done already." She huffed.

"I have to go, I can't stand to stay here a minute longer. Just make it work." She said before she left in a hurry. Oh, mommy, always such a lovely person.

I kept staring at my phone in disbelief. I re-read the text for the twentieth time still not understanding. Why the hell would she call the bet off? I couldn't believe it. I was counting on her. I huffed and threw my phone strongly at the wall.

The sound of the device hitting the hard surface and crashing all over the floor calmed me down somewhat. But still, she had just ruined everything I had worked for. All those years we spent looking for her, just to find out she had killed herself. Pathetic really. Now Amy was the only loose end ... guess it's time for plan B.
