Chapter One: The Memory That Haunts Me The Most

Okay here I go. I'm gonna look in that mirror and see here I am. After almost 12 years of torture and harassment, I can finally look in the mirror without thinking that this is a dream again. I have lost so much weight in the past few years and I look in the mirror in my bathroom everytime just to make sure this is actually real.

I walked towards the mirror slowly. My body was shaking the nervousness and fear. This is always was a hard time for me. It was like I was looking at me in a differnet person's body. This is not how I looked before at all and then it happened. The memory that I swore to myself that I would never think of and it just happened to be there in my mind. The day he broke my heart.

A normal day at high school as usual. Getting to class, getting teased, passing tests, getting harassed, making school projects, and getting tortured. Oh did I mention getting harassed?For a 16 year old girl, I was pretty over-weight. But anyway, I was looking for my boyfriend, one of the cutest guys in the school, Randy day he broke my heart was the last time I even looked at him. I did gain some friends though. I guess they saw the real me while I was dating him and since he broke up with me, they decided to stay my friends. After then college, I couldn't put up with my weight any longer. I did special training, diets, and all of that until I reached where I am now.

I know what everyone was thinking. Why would Randy go out with a over-weight girl like me? Well that's what I asked myself everyday I thought he did it ecause he felt sorry for me but I really didn't know.

I walked towards my locker and found a note on the door. I snatched it off and read it quickly.

Meet me behind the school. I have to talk to you.

Randy

This is when I get excited. Not knowing what was going to happen, I ran out of school as fast as I could. It was finally happening. He was finally going to say it to me. Randy Orton was going to tell he loves me.

When I got outside to the back of the school, I looked around. No sign of Randy anywhere. I stood there for a couple of mintues until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jumped a little until I turned around and saw Randy. He really didn't have a expression on his face. He looked serious, no nervousness, no excitment. Just a serious face.

It kind of scared me but I guessed that you have to have a serious face before you tell anyone you loved them.

I never had a boyfriend before him and I was blinded by love. I couldn't control myself. I guessed something was up and what I expected was far from what happened that day.

"Candice, I'm sorry for avoiding you for the last couple of days, but I had to think about something." he said with a soft voice.

"That's okay. Well, what did you think about? What did you want to tell me?" I asked trying not to look too excited.

"I was thinking about us and I'm not sure you want to hear this." That's when I froze. Was this actually happening? Was he actually gonna to do it?

"What are you talking about?" I slowly asked. I was worried about what was gonna happen.

"Candice," he began to speack. "I want to break up" There it was. He wanted to break up with me.

I began to crumble inside. I began to cry but trying not to show it either. "Why?"

He took mintues to answer the question. He simply turned his head away and closed his eyes. I got a little mad and turned his face towards. He saw the tears coming out of my eyes. He just closed his eyes not to look at me. I started to get angry.

"Tell me why?" I almost yelled.

He opened his eyes. "Because of my reputation."

"What?"

"My reputation. I'm the most popular guy in this school and I'm going lower and lower since I've been going out with you. I'm not trying to sound mean but I'm loosing my friends every second. I'm sorry but it was much better when we were just friends in a secret way." then he just walked away from me. I stood there for a couple of mintues, fighting back the tears, as I watched him walk inside the school. When he was finally out of my sight, I let the tears flow down my cheeks like a water fall. I ran home, crying. Lucky for me, my mom was home and I told her everything. I knew it was too good to be true. She told me that I don't need Randy and it will evenutally be okay. It wasn't okay until 2 months later.

Once a 215 pound 16 year old girl to, now, a 120 pound 28 year old woman. I'm fine now. I haven't seen him in a while, haven't talked to him since that day. I'm finally a independent woman for right now and I'm going to keep it that way until Mr. Right finally comes along. This independent woman's name is, Candice Michelle.

------

Well my life is great, at least to me. I got ready for work today. I work in JCPenny's, surprising huh? It's not all that bad actually. I have five amazing friends there. One of them is my best friend and always will be my best friend. Her name is Torrie and she has been there for my since I started. We tell each other everything and never kept secrets from each other, unless it was for a good cause. I love this girl!

I drove for 15 mintues until I got to work. I got out of my car, walked inside and, as usual, guys were staring at me. I mean I like the attention sometimes but then it gets a little too annoying. Torrie says that they look at every girl because they can't get any. She makes me laugh sometimes.

I made my way to the back where my friends were. Put on my name tag and sat down with them.

"Hey Candice. You seem happy. What's up?" asked Ashley, one of my best friends.

"Well something special is happening tonight. Anyone know what it is? Torrie, say nothing." I told her. It was a quick thing I learned. When Torrie knows something, she's the first one to say the answer. I smiled as Torrie pouted like a little five year old.

"Um Pony Day! Wait, I don't get it. Is this supposed to be a trick question or something?" Maria asked as we all looked at her with confused expressions.

Ashley leaned over to me whispered it my ear. "Sometimes I wonder how this chick finds her way home." I giggled.

Mickie shook her head and looked at me. "Should we tell her?" she asked.

"Eh, she's not going to figure it out anytime soon so yeah tell her." I answered.

Kelly, the second girl I met when I firsted started, leaned into Maria. "Let me say this in a way that even a monkey can understand. Candice." she pointed to me. "Turn." she got up and turned around a couple of times then sat back down. "29." she held up two fingers, then nine. Maria nodded her head.

"Oh I get it now." Maria said. We all laughed.

"So what do you plan on doing for your birthday?" Torrie asked me, taking a sip of her coffee.

"I don't know actually. I guess just I'll do what I always do for my birthday." I answered honestly.

"Oh no you're not. You are having a party and we are going to plan it, whether you like it or not." Mickie demanded. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Oh come on, Candice. Why don't you want to have a party?" Ashley asked.

"I just don't like parties that much. I haven't really been to a party either." I sighed.

Kelly patted me on the back. "Honey, you got to stop living in the past. You're 28 going on 29, you have to have some fun in your life sometimes." she kind of made sense. I'm an adult and now I can make my own decisions. But then again, I don't really like parties. They're just not my thing.

"I'm sorry guys but I just don't want a party. I'm fine." I answered smiling.

"Okay. Whatever you say Candi." Torrie said.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at them. I'm glad they look out for me and my happiness but I'm a grown woman and I can make my own decisions, my own way.

I got up and went to the counter to finish what I had to do. I worked for at least 7 hours days a day then I go home.

Just when I was about to sign in, I felt a soft grip on my arm. I turned around to see Kelly's smiling face. Damn, her smile is bright. She should really stop smiling so much.

"Um, may I help you?" I asked a little confused.

Kelly handed me a bag and pushed me to the back. "Put that on and meet us downstairs in the employee lobby." then she was off, just like that. She scares me a little sometimes.

I looked in the bag and pulled out a black dress that was short and shimmering. I shrugged and began changing into it. I fixed my hair, put on the shoes and make-up, put on the jewelry and went downstairs where I found Torrie, Mickie, Kelly, Maria and Ashley smiling at me.

"Wow. Candice you look amazing." Maria complimented.

"Thanks but what are we doing?" I asked. They smiled and started giggling.

What did you guys do?" I asked. They did something, they are smiling way too hard.

"You'll see. Close your eyes and take my hand." Torrie instructed. I closed my eyes and took Torrie's hand like she told me. I began walking with her, hearing a door open, me and the rest of the girls walking inside, then hearing it close again.

"Okay don't peek." Mickie said. I felt Torrie's hand let go of mine and heard them walk away from me.

"What the hell did you guys do?" I was beginning to get irritated.

"Don't get your hair tangled in a knot." I heard Ashley speak. "Now you can open your eyes."

My eyes slowly opened and all I could see was pitch black.

"Torrie? Ashley? Guys where are you?" I asked. I walked over to the wall and tried to feel the light switch.

I finally felt it and turned it on.

"SURPIRSE! Happy Birthday Candice!" A whole bunch of people yelled. I jumped a little from the surprise. It was a party for my birthday.

Then music started blasting and everyone walked around, ate, drank, talked, danced. I took a look at my friends and shot a glare in their direction.

I walked over to them and crossed my arms across my chest. They just smiled. A bug dumb, goofy smile.

"I told you guys I didn't want a party." I yelled over the music.

"Yeah we know, but we didn't listen." said Kelly. I had a small smile. They walked away from me.

I went over to the drinks and poured myself a glass. Then I heard Torrie scream a little.

"Oh my gosh you're here!" I turned around to see what she was talking about. I froze.

She was hugged a tall man. Both had a smile on their faces. My worst nightmare was back to haunt me.

It was him.
