Voodoo Doll

Chapter 110

Anna

People bustled around me as the boys got off the stage.

I stood, frozen in place, frozen in shock, as Michael ran towards me.

He picked me up, holding me tightly. "God, I missed you. I love you Anna, I love you so much."

I smiled. "I love you too Mikey. I love you too."

He pulled away, hands slipping around my waist. "It feels amazing to hear you say that."

I smile, and he kisses me.

I hear gagging from behind us, but for once, I don't care.

"That was quite the kiss." Carson teases as I skip into the dressing room. "Anything happen afterwards?"

Grabbing the pillow closest to me and chucking it at her, I rolled my eyes. "No. I'm only 17 you know."

"Like you haven't -"

"Shut up!" I blushed furiously, whacking her once again with the pillow.

"Ow! Okay okay, I'm sorry." She laughs, holding up her hands to block her face.

"Keep going, that was funny." Bella says, walking into the room, kicking the door shut behind her.

Her voice is playful as she watches us, munching on an apple, yet her green eyes are sad.

"What's wrong?" I ask, turning towards her.

She looks at me carefully. "What do you mean?"

Carson ruffles her hair, letting out a soft groan.

I hit her arm. "Oh it was a pillow you wimp. "

I turn back to Bella. "You look sad. What's wrong?"

Bella gestures to her smile. "Uh, I'm fine."

Carson rolls her eyes. "Uh, no you're not."

Biting her lip nervously, Bella stared at us somberly. "How did you guys know?"

Exchanging looks, Carson and I both shrugged.

Carson

"Well, I know from past experience." I stated, not directly meeting Bella's eyes.

Anna shrugged again. "I can just read people well?"

She said it as if it was a question, and I nodded in agreement.

Bella sat down in front of us, nervous. "Well...you guys can't tell anyone, promise?"

"Promise."

"I swear."

"Okay." Bella let out a long deep sigh, looking at us with a dire expression. "I had this friend, Jess.She was nice at first, but then, when she was introduced to my other best friend, she obviously stared to like her better than me. Whenever Jess spoke, she never looked me in the eyes. Only my other friend. She always made me feel like I was the third wheel, she always tried to put herself above me. She asked me personal questions she could seem better, and never invited me over whenever she had my other friend over. Eventually, after my mum died, I got so depressed, I...I..."

Bella's voice sharply cut off and tears started spilling down her cheeks. "I did this."

Rolling up her sleeve, I was tons of white scars.

"Bella." I gasped. "Bella, oh my god. I'm so sorry."

She turned away. "It's okay. That was then, and this is now."

Anna comfortingly hugged her. "Whoever that girl is, she's a bitch."

Bella laughed, sniffling. "Yeah. She is."

Nodding along, we all hugged.

Harry

"Niall!" I said into the microphone. "What song is next?"

Niall smirked. "Little Things!"

The crowd let a roar, I smiled as I waved to a girl.

"This is amazing." Niall leaned over to me, whispering.

I laughed. "I know." I whispered back.

"Looks whose watching." Niall said, staring over at the side of the stage.

Standing there, with Anna, Bell, and Bella, was Carson.

She smiled as she saw us staring, giving a small wave.

Blushing, I looked back out at the crowd as Zayn begun to sing.

Soon, I begun to sing.

I know you've never loved, the sound of your voice on tape

This is to you Carson. Even though I can't have you.

You never want, to know how much you weigh

My eyes begin to fill with tears as I think of Carson. I think of how close she and Luke seemed, how I'll never be able to call her mine. Never be able to kiss her...never be able to tell her how much I love her.

You still squeeze into your jeans but your perfect to me

I'm grateful as Niall begins to sing with me. I'm loud, but my voice was slowly getting quiet as the tears in my eyes blur my Vision.

I'll never be able to tel, Carson how in love I am with all her little things.

My voice breaks just as we're finishing the chorus. I hang my head, and Niall begins to sing.

I can tell he's worried, and I feel someone's arm in my shoulder.

"Haz." louis breathes . "What's wrong?"

"Carson." I choke out. "I love her and...and..."

I wipe away my tears as I start to begin to sing again. Softly and broken sounding, but soulful.

As I step off the stage, the boys surround me.

"What the hell was that Harry?" Liam asked. "did you see how upset the fans were?"

"Did you see how upset I was?!?" I snapped, turning away. "Thanks for the concern."

"Harry..." Liam said. "Harry wait!"

He called after me,

But I was gone.
