Second Chances

Chapter 27

Loud silence in the room. Doors slightly open, lights on as the sound of rain drops outside my window was all I can hear.
My breathing was low, as if I was floating beyond the galaxy again.
Everything was dark and gloomy, my eyes were focused on the last spot I saw him standing and the footsteps, banging of doors and his scream were the only thing that keeps on repeating in my head.

I heard a ring, a familiar ring.
I saw a light flickering on the side table and found my phone ringing. Oh damn yes.
I have a phone. And its ringing.
I picked it up and pressed answer not minding who the hell it is.

"Hello?" I said soullessly.

"Oh thank God you answered your phone! Hey, I saw Mason and he was angry and....drunk! What's going on?" Chrissy's voice surprised me.

Oh its Chrissy. But wait, what did she just say? Mason is drunk? Oh no.
How many hours had passed when he walked away that door? And I never noticed how long I stood there, soullessly, as if everything keeps on repeating in my damn head.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know. I just saw him and I said hi but he was mad."

I closed my eyes trying to breathe. "I need to see him Chris. Where did you last see him?" I asked. Im actually panicking.

"He was rushing inside his car across the parking lot and I don't know where he was heading. Seriously, Anna what the hell is going on?" Shes also panicking.

Great. This is great.
I honestly don't know what to do.
Should I call the cops? Well that would be such a stupid move, but I just hope he's okay.

Please. Please. Please.

I just can't stop thinking about the things that might happen. The bad things that could happen to him rambled inside my head and its very alarming, I just don't know how to deal with this.

"I'll tell you when you get back. Right now, I need to find him." I was about to pressed end but I heard Chrissy's voice again.

"No. Just stay there. I'm coming. I won't let you go all by yourself." She added quickly.

That made me smile. "Okay." I said calmly.

I need to find him. I can't let something bad happen to him just because of me. I just can't endure to lose him, not again. We were almost there, and now its all gone. But I still have the chance to fix this.
This couldn't be happening if those stupid pictures didn't show, I just can't stand the thought of it. It really ruined everything.
And I will do my best to find out who did this.
That picture was a long time ago and I never cheated on him, I couldn't do that. I wouldn't dare hurt him. But it was always the reason why I was afraid of everything, I was afraid that someone might know it. The crap about my past. Which is slowly coming back to me. But where should I start?
I don't even know where he is. I could check his house but I'm pretty sure he's not there. I just don't know what to do.
Someone please help me. I could ask help from Riley, but he did so much already. I'm such a burden to him. And I think it would be a bad idea to ask help from him about Mason.

Ugh, this is so exhausting. There was a knock at the door then just the small shuffle of feet. My chest already ached. I couldn't stop my hiccup but I tried to wipe my tears away and breathe normally as if I was just got out in the water.

"Anna?" Chrissy's voice called out with a deep concern.

"I'm here, Chris." I said as I stood up from the beanbag I'd been sitting on in the corner. It was my hiding spot. In your life you needed a hiding spot.
