The entire table was staring at Mason, who was steadily
growing paler. I forced my mouthful of spaghetti down and
opened my mouth to speak.
"W-what?"
Mason turned towards me and I swear he looked like he just saw
a ghost. His eyes met mine for a split second before he threw
his napkin on the table and ran upstairs. No one followed him
and instead decided to stare at me.
"You don't like sauce?" His mother asked,
sounding hurt. Seriously? That just happened and
all the woman cared about was food? I shook my
head slightly before removing the napkin from my lap and racing
after Mason. I had no idea where his room was and considering
how large this house was, there probably wasn't a good
chance of me finding it.
I bolted around the corner and tripped over something, sending
my clumsy self flying through the air. I landed in a heap about
a foot and a half from where I had caught my foot on whatever.
I let out a yelp and rubbed my ankle before turning around to
see what had caused this.
I let out a gasp.
Mason sat in a clump on the floor, his knees brought up to his
chest. He was leaning against the wall and looking off into
space. I don't think he even realized that I had tripped
over him. In the two minutes since he left, it appeared that he
had run his fingers through his hair multiple times, making it
terribly messy. He turned from his perfect self to a complete
reck before I even knew what had happened.
"Are... are you okay?" I asked, picking myself up off
the ground and sitting next to him. He wouldn't look at
me.
"I... I don't know where my room is. I don't even
remember living here. I don't know who you are besides your
first name. How did I know you don't like
sauce?" He asked.
"I don't know." Mason turned towards me and I
honesty hardly recognized him. He seemed like a completely
different person, so... weak.
"It just came."
"Yeah but you remembered. That's good."
"Yeah but I'm not supposed to like you." He said,
looking away from me once again.
"Why not?"
"Because-"
"Kirsten." I interrupted, sighing. He remembered the
fact that I didn't like pasta, so I guess I would just have
to hang onto the hope that he might one day remember me.
"When you're tired to being brainwashed, you
have my phone number."
I stood up and ran down stairs, out the door, and eventually to
the sidewalk where I began the long walk home.
