Where A Play Can Take You?

Chapter 26

Mason P.O.V (For the first time)

"Dead?" I shouted, my voice husky and filled with fear. I couldn't stop my tears from falling. Did I really lose her?

"She killed herself."

"Kevin, I told you I didn't want to come here. I mean, I don't want to leave my own home town." I said as I didn't want to leave them anymore. I mean Boudy, Anne's mother and everything. After Anne's death, I couldn't bear to leave their sides. Even though I didn't want to live there after all that happened, but I had to be strong for them. I didn't manage to forget about Anne at all. Nothing about her has left my mind. Her touch, her kiss, the way she looked at me and even when she was mad at me. I still love her. Anne is the only girl I have ever loved. She was my life. A tear escaped my eyes as the thought of her crossed my mind.

"Mason, are you okay?" Kevin called from behind, interrupting my thoughts. I quickly wiped my tears away and turned to face him. "Let's go." He said as he walked in front and I followed him. Anne had always wanted to go to New York and now, look at me. I am here in New York, but without Anne.

'And the days feel like years when I'm alone and the bed where you lie is made up on my side. When you're going I count the ste...' The voice hit me like a gun as I walked past that voice. I recognized that voice. A tear escaped my eyes again as I thought of Anne. My legs wanted to turn around and walk back again to see who was singing but my heart and soul didn't allow me do so. From that day onwards, I didn't even want to look at a girl. I didn't want to cheat her. She was so good to me. She never hurt me.

"Why did you stop?" Kristen interrupted but I didn't answer. Instead, I walked back until I got to hear that voice again.

'The pieces of my heart are missing you. When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too...' I continued walking but my whole body shaking. Something took my breath away as I saw the girl singing.

She was just like Anne. So much like her. Same body, same face, same loose wavy hair. So beautiful, just like Anne. I took a deep breath, not knowing how I could walk after what I had just seen. Anne. Is she really Anne?

"Mason?" Kristen asked as he found me while I couldn't face him. Staring at her. My love. "Did you like her?" He said as he saw me staring at her. The same tanned body that was covered with a long white dress that was opened up to her hips on the right side. Everything that had happened between us before flashed in my mind in that second which made me move towards her but I stopped and looked at Kristen.

"Who is she?" I asked Kristen as tears formed my eyes.

"Carla. She is so sweet. I know a lot about her." He said while tears fell down my cheeks and I didn't manage to stop them because the thought of being with her again was impossible. I thought for a second that she could be Anne, but obviously she is not.

"Let's go then." I said as I wiped the tears away, not wanting to look at the gir...I mean Carla. A small girl crossed us as we moved away.

"I missed you." She said as she hugged Kristen tightly, not letting go of her. The girl was so cute and so much looking like Anne. Her wavy hair made me not want to look away from her. She was holding a paper in her right hand and pen in the other.

"So where were you?" Kristen asked her as he got rid of her.

"I was sending a letter to my dad. Mom told me that he is there and he just traveled far away because he has work. When I send these letters, he will see it and he will come back to us." The small girl said as she walked towards the coffee. I crossed her, curiosity killing me.

"What's your dad's name?" I asked her as I bent down to her.

"I don't know. Mom never told me." She said while staring at the stage where that girl was singing but had just finished and was handing the microphone to someone else. "Yaaay...Mom finished." She said as she walked towards her mom. Wait...what? Carla is her mom? This wasn't very good for me. I mean what th... I followed the girl as she walked to her mom's dressing room. Kristen scanned every move I made and never left us.

"Mom!" The girl ran towards her mom and hugged her as we opened the door. The girl turned and faced us, her eyes widening at me then offering us a hand for us to shake. I shook hands with her but my hands never wanted to leave hers. Anne's same touch. I forced myself not to tear.

"This is Mason, Carla." He introduced us while I forced a smile with a small smirk.

"Nice to meet you." The girl said in a tone so low, as if she was forced to talk. I scanned her face but she was unreadable. She showed zero expressions. Someone called Kristen so he excused himself and I thought it was the best time for me to ask some questions of mine which were killing me.

"Is your real name Carla?" I forced myself to get those words out of my mouth while the girl's eyes widened even more. HATE was clear in her eyes. Seems like REVENGE was the first thing she was trying to do.

"Yeah." She managed to say as a tear escaped her eyes but she quickly wiped them away as if she didn't want me see them. She grabbed the girl's hand and turned to leave. I have never felt so happy like am feeling now. This incident of seeing her shed tears has made me feel much happier. I think the girl is Anne but I don't want to assume anything in case it isn't true. I did this every now and then but it always came to put me down.
