Ran

03. Home town.

Cara's POV

The next morning, I woke up and went to the airport by cab.

I passed the taxi driver a 50 dollar note.

"Keep the change sir." I said smiling.

I saw his face lit up, he thanked me with a big smile on his face. I liked making people happy, but deep inside I was very unhappy.

It was a 5 hours flight back, I slept half of the trip and spent the other half, thinking about Gale. I was unhappy because, Gale either forgot the promise or he found someone new.

***********************
I reached Abby's old house.

I looked around at the scenery. I feel home again.

"Cara!"

I turned around and saw, Helena. Her hair became blonde but she is still beautiful.

"Hey! You became beautiful." I said smiling from ear to ear.

"You finally know how to smile." Helena laughed.

I invited her in the house. We chatted about things that happen when I was not in town.

"Danny got caught by the police right after you left for New York. You are safe now." She said.

I nodded and smiled. I wanted to ask about Gale, but her phone rang and she went home. The meet up is tomorrow and Gale is going, I can't wait to see him again.

*********************
-The next day-

I woke up to my alarm clock ringing.

I went to my luggage and pulled out a mini dress, a cropped sweater and shoes. I changed into it and went down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After I ate my breakfast, it was about, ten in the morning, there's only one more hour to go until the meet up. I didn't want to stay in the house any longer so I decided to have a walk.

It was finally 11 and I was the first to reach. I sat at the backstage of the hall alone, it was quiet and peaceful there.

*bang* I heard the door close. I stood up and walked to the nearest curtain to see who it was. I saw no one.

Anonymous POV

"We are too early." I said.

"It's okay, let's go on the stage to PERFORM!" Gene said.

She pulled me up the stage and she started dancing.

After Cara left, Gene and I became close friends, nothing else, only close friends. She was like a younger sister to me.

The way she dance always made me laugh. Suddenly she tripped and I went to hold her so she wouldn't fall. She looked at me, and the next thing I felt is her lips on mine. I moved back and dropped her on the floor. That was when I noticed a movement behind the curtains.

Cara's POV

I saw two people, a girl and a guy, the girl was dancing like crazy and the guy was just staring. Suddenly the guy laughed. When I heard that laughter, my heart broke, the guy was Gale. I wanted to know who the girl was. So I took a closer look, it was Gene. I wanted to approach them, so I took a step out. Gene tripped and Gale went to safe her from the fall, like what he did to me last time. That was when Gene planted her lips on his. Gale's next step was a bit comforting to my heart because he dropped her. But I was still heart brokened by the fact that, he spent his time with Gene, wile I was waiting like an idiot for him at NYC.

I took a step back and accidentally moved the curtain. Gale turned around. I ran to the back of the stage and hid in a pile of props.
