Karry's P.O.V

Thomas said he'd take me somewhere where New York was at its finest. I wonder where that could be. First we had lunch. I had a turkey B.L.T with avocados and a cookie while Thomas took a burger with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Since Thomas didn't get a cookie, I decided to split it half and share it with him. We both got smoothies. I got strawberry while he got mango. We sat by the window and we enjoyed each others' company while munching on lunch. I giggled at some of Thomas' jokes and stories. When he was younger he went to school as Batman with a costume and he stayed like that for the whole day. His mother was a dancer and his father a lawyer. Thomas really didn't want to go to law school like his father wanted, but he did want to be a graphic designer of some sort. I told him to apply at DC headquarters after he finished college. I told him about why i was here in New York and he couldn't believe i was working at DC, his face was priceless. Thomas was also very generous as he let me try his smoothie and i did the same, we just switched straws. As we got up to leave and older couple walked up to us.

"Excuse me young man, but is she your girlfriend?" The man said with a innocent smile.

((Karry and Thomas's expression)
Thomas and I looked at each other, each of us blinking at each other. My cheeks heated up while Thomas just look at his feet.

"N- no Sir. We are just friends. " Thomas said, his voice getting sober at saying we were just friends.

The old man nodded, "Well you two would be an adorable couple. You know just the way you look at each other says otherwise, you had us fooled."

((Thomas expression)
I blushed even harder, my cheeks the shade of the ripest apple or even a strawberry. Thomas only gulped fixing the collar of his shirt. Is he sweating? Thomas is sweating?!?!

I replied nervously, "Sir, we are just good friends. "

"Very good friends." Thomas blurted making the old couple rejoice.

"Well dear, me and Jack were like that too. Jack was my best friend and now my husband of 35 years. So I would just keep an open mind. We didn't realise it until Jack was halfway done with college. I was just starting." The old lady said in the most softest tone i have ever heard, with such delicassy.

I clutched my phone tighter and nervously, how do you respond to that? I just didn't know where to go from there. It seems Thomas didn't either from the looks at it. We both exchanged looks and chuckled nervously.

"Us?" Thomas questioned.

Jack nodded, "Yes you. Young man, if i were you I would see what you've got and I'd treat this lady with dignity and respect. Are we clear?"

Thomas glasses fogged up but nonetheless he replied, "Yes Sir. I always will."

Jack gave Thomas an approving smile, "Now young lady don't ever dump someone because of their looks got it. He is a fine gentleman now don't ever forget that."

I nodded nervously, "Yes Sir. We best be on our way. Thank you for your advice."

Thomas immediately knew what I was up to and he played along. Great minds think a like, what do you know?

Before we could leave Jack stopped us, "Have fun on your date!"

I couldn't help but smile at that. I gave a timid smile before waving goodbye to the older couple. They seen so happy and yet they were best friends who became something more. Something way more. I snapped out of my thoughts as I tripped on my own foot. I braced for impact but it seems like Thomas thought fast. Instead of falling on a hard,  cold cemented side walk, I fell into Thomas' arms and into his chest.

"Hey are you ok? Karry?" Thomas said as my eyes widened bigger than ever.

This is so confusing. Thomas held my hand and my waist. I blinked and began blushing as Thomas began checking me over to see if I had gotten hurt. My cheeks only got redder.

"Karry are you ok? You seem to have a fever, your burning!" Thomas said placing his hand on my forehead under my bangs, pull yourself together!

I nodded, "I'm fine. I ok."

Thomas chuckled at the last sentence, "You sure?"

I nodded and smile in an awkward manner. Thomas pulled me up. We locked eyes, his hazel with my brown ones. Uh oh. We were really close, too close. Thomas seemed like he was going to do something but he didn't due to people awing at us. A whole bunch of couple only watching us. We embarrassingly let ourselves go and separted. Thomas rubbed the back of his neck while I looked up and whistled.

"We should probably go." Thomas acknowledged.

I nodded, "Lets scram. This was awkward."

Thomas nodded in agreement, "Come on, lets go. I know you'll love this! I mean I think you'll like this."

Thomas blushed fixing his "mistake" which I thought was adorable. I agreed and together we made it to Thomas' surprise place. Just in time might I add.

As we made our way to Thomas's surprise, Thomas covered my eyes. As I felt his warm hands cover my only way to see his wonderful face. God, it was perfect. Every time he smiled, it was perfect. I can't lie, but he's perfect. Those green eyes that change shades whenever he feels happy or sad or when he's exhilarated or shy. They brighten to a bright green or darken when he is sad. They just enchant me. The perfect mix of green and brown with a hint of red in between. I scrunched my nose as Thomas laughed at my reaction.

"Be careful and watch your step Karry. I hope you like this." Thomas worryingly said.

I felt secure and with a tingly sensation of butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. The butterflies fluttered around my anxious and nervous stomach. I giggled as Thomas led me towards "this surprise".

"Ok Karry. Stay right there and don't move." Thomas ordered.

I smiled, "Not even and inch."

Thomas replied, "No."

"A centimeter!" I exclaimed.

Thomas chuckled, "No. "

My voiced cracked, "Not a even tensy weensy baby step."

Thomas laughed, "No, just stay there until I tell you to, or you might fall."

I shrugged, "I guess. Wait, fall?"

A chuckle escaped his lips before I heard nothing. I felt the breeze brush my skin and give me goosebumps and a shiver down my spine. Suddenly a loud horn alarmed me, scaring me. I opened my eyes alarmed. Thomas only laughed at me. I hit his shoulder.

"That wasn't funny. You scared me!" I said as my cheeks got red.

Thomas laughed and turned me around, "Surprise."

My eyes widened, "Wow!"

It was huge. I looked out at the Oceanside a big boat honking at us. It came closer and closer. I thought it was dropping people off, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The boat stopped in front of us. I immediately took a step back while Thomas gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen from him. His eyes a bright jade with a mahogany brown hinting out.

"Come on Karry." Thomas said as the steps of the boat descended towards us.

He grabbed my hand and took me up on the boat. The giant boat. It was like comparing an elephant to a peanut.

"Thomas you weren't kidding, were you?" I said shocked as Thomas smiled cheekily.

Thomas only smirked, "Am I forgiven?"

I nodded, "Yes, big time, but don't ever scare me like that again, you gave me a heart attack."

Thomas nodded and took us towards the front of the boat where the view was amazing.

Thomas spoke up, "This is it. This is New York at its finest."

The view was breathtaking and so beautiful. I loved it, I love him. . .woah, Karry hold your horses. Is it really that obvious I'm falling for Thomas. . .

Skylar's P.O.V.

I only stood their reading her messages. I took them home with me and re read them back and forth. I couldn't believe how much I had put her through. Her messages, some were of anger and frustration, some of hope and concern, some of pure joy and love. I had almost finished the 10 page history of missing messages from Karry. I felt horrible, so horrible that when I got home I started crying. It hurt, like if a piece of your heart was torn and now you were stiching it back together, trying to connect all the pieces again. This wasn't as easy as many books stated and described. Yes, I was a bookworm and yes I was reading another book to take my mind off of it, but I just couldn't.

The first messages replayed in my mind:

Karry: Hey Skye, how you feeling today?

I couldn't even contain myself when I began reading it. Tears just came pouring out. The next messages were of concern and worry.

Karry: Skye? Skye are you there?

I gulped as the I remembered the last message I sent. . .

Skye: Karry, I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. Its time. Good bye Karry, I can't bear to put you through this. I can't. I'm sorry, this is farewell and I won't ever forget you. Promise you'll finish what I started.

I took a deep breath before remembering telling all my readers and followers that I wouldn't continue my books anymore. I knew Karry sent me a message before I logged out and said goodbye to wattpad. Old feelings resurfaced and I felt guilty for even putting Karry through a rough goodbye. . .

The next messages were minutes after:

Karry: Skye?!?!? Don't you dare do this. Don't you dare!! You can't say goodbye to your talent, you books. I said I wouldn't leave you and you did the same. We promised. Skye? Skye!?!?!

I swallowed hard at reading that, I could imagine it. It wasn't pretty. I kept reading the next pages worth of messages before thinking what have I done. A few messages came to mind.

Karry: Skye you can come back now, please. Don't leave me. Don't leave this behind. Skye please, I beg of you.

Karry: I guess this is what I'll do. I won't finish your books because I have faith that you'll come back and you'll finish what you started. Until then I'll message you everyday to remind you, you matter. That is if you still read these messages. They are not in vain, but I hope that in the future you'll be back. I know it.

I stopped reading. I had made it to the last page before getting the crazy idea of logging in again. I looked at my phone then my computer. Am I ready? I thought about that question over and over again. It replayed again and again. I was getting the urge to get just a sneak peek. A small peek of my profile and a small but painful peak at Karry's profile. I only stated at my computer. The lingering sensation of having this feeling of guilt and pain satisfied. I gulped, never in my life had a computer or my phone look so terrifying and honestly I was petrified at the thought of her answering me as soon as she knew I was online again. Would she still know me? Would she still remember? Would she still answer? So many questions. . .

((this clip fits perfectly. Think of the blond lady as Karry and the guy as Skylar even tho she's a girl)

I only began pacing around my apartment, every once in a while looking back at the computer. Should I log back in? I wonder. I fell back on my bed and I lazily stayed there peering at the computer. I had to, but. . .I couldn't. I was letting my fears control me, something that was always my problem from the start. I couldn't really "nip the bud" with that problem. It was always there. I debated for the next 15 minutes whether go actually do it or to stay like a sitting duck. I wondered when have I ever been this big of a chicken. Karry is never cruel nor cold, but she is human and she could easily get mad at me for not answering in over a year. She could be flustered or she could flip out. There are just many ways this could go. What if I can take this? Ugh. . .I swallowed hard and then I decided that I wasn't going to be a sitting duck anymore. It was better said then done. The closer I got to the computer, the more I chickened out.

Come on Skylar, do this for Karry and for me. I inched closer and closer to the computer. I slowly streched my index finger towards the power button. I gulped, here goes nothing. . .
