Natural Disaster

Prologue : Dictator

April 2002 - Indiana - Small Town

" Its better to love and lost , than to have never loved at all . Those were always my thoughts when it came to him. " - Candice Lacey Harper ' s Diary

It was April , Spring of 2002 , Candice Lacey Harper was just getting home from college as it was Spring Break and the last break she would have before she finished school to start the rest of her life . For most college students Spring Break meant vacation and going to get hooked up with someone for a couple of days and then leaving back home never to meet again and at first that was far from Candice ' s mind , of course that was before she met him . He was a professional wrestler , still on the independants and still young in the wrestling business , there was something beautiul about this man if you could call men beautiful , muscles , tan , long blonde hair that occasionally had hair dye in it , tattoos , bandanna , but what drew her to him at first were his deep blue eyes that seemed to be able to see within her very soul and a smile that made her heart melt . And for Spring Break , the pro-wrestler known as Chase Stevens would be her man for an entire week and what they did in an entire week would have made it seem like they had been together for eternity .

" Chase , my daddy is going to kill you . " Candice said as Chase tried to kiss her neck again , but all in good fun she kept moving to make him miss as she thought it was funny to watch his failed attempts and to tease the man .

" And we are both consenting adults meaning we are free to do this without permission or anyone bugging us about it . " Chase said as his accent made her heart melt even more .

To say Chase Stevens wasn ' t in love with Candice would be a complete lie , in fact she was the only woman he had loved more than his profession and would be the only woman he would love in the future as none of the others were quite as right for him as Candice .

" But , the bad end of my daddy ' s gun is making me anxious . " Candice shivered , her father had already expressed her dislike for Chase , not understanding what his daughter saw in this ' troublesome guy ' as her daddy put it .

" Candice , have you ever just wanted the freedom to do whatever you feel without your daddy or anyone interferring , something you really wanted to do ? " Chase asked .

" Be with you , " Candice sighed realizing what Chase was saying .

" Then why are you worried about what others think ? " Chase asked willing to give everything he had to her .

" You ' re right I shouldn ' t be worried , but I don ' t want to do this out in the open like we are . " Candice looked around as best she could in the dark of the night sky and the little light of the moon .

" Okay , then , I got a special place we can go . " Chase said wanting her to feel as comfortable as possible while they had their fun .

" Where ? " Candice asked as Chase stood up .

" Come on , " Chase said picking her up over his shoulders .

" Eek , Chase Stevens , what are you doing ? " Candice squealed as he picked her up .

" I told you when we first met that if you date a wrestler expect some heavy lifting , baby . " Chase said taking him to a special spot up in the loft in the old barn at his temporary living arrangements .

" Really , " Candice said .

" Its not out in the open , " Chase pointed out .

" No kidding , " Candice said as Chase pulled out the beer he had been hiding .

" It will take the edge off and make us relax . " Chase said .

" Or make us lose our minds . " Candice said .

" Well , some people think I ' m already there so how much worse can I do ? " Chase asked making her laugh as he looked at her with a devious smile that made her realize what he wanted .

" Then show me how much you love me , Chase Stevens ? " Candice said .

" Be careful what you wish for , beautiful . " Chase said .

Soon , both of them were stripped of all of their clothes and Chase was breaking her innocences away as he was now giving every part of himself to her . Candice cried out a little when he broke away that part of her that still made her a kid , and then everything else after that was magical and wonderful as the flesh - to - flesh contact made both of their bodies respond to each others in much pleasure that neither one cared about regrets later just what was happening between them and the only thing that saw what happened was the little bit of moonlight that came through the small window at the top of the loft . They continued like that until they both released all of the feelings they had for each other and then together they fell asleep like that , Candice in Chase ' s arms where she felt the safest , but also with the knowing that in two days Spring Break would be over and she would have to go back to school while Chase went back to wrestling .

June 2002

A few cards and letters between Chase and Candice kept them in touch with each other while Chase was on the road and Candice was in school . He had promised to be at her graduation from college as they would then be able to be together for as much as they could when Chase wasn ' t on the road and Candice could still be the school teacher she had wanted to be in Chase ' s real home of Nashville , Tennessee . Chase was definitely there for her graduation , but to say it was the happiest moment of both of their lives was a lie .

The graduation itself was fantastic and she was more than happy to see Chase after the two months apart , he was finally getting a chance to be apart of something bigger than the indies at the moment which was wrestling for the newly developing NWA TNA Wrestling with his tag team partner Cassidy Riley and she couldn ' t be happier for her man . But , one person wasn ' t happy to see Chase despite allowing him to be at Candice ' s graduation party and that was Mr. Harper or Candice ' s father , Chase had always gotten along with Mrs. Harper okay , but if there was one word that described the way Mr. Harper felt about Chase then it was hatred . Of course , while Chase respected the man as Candice ' s father , he wasn ' t to fond of the way he tried to dictate everything in Candice ' s life especially when it came to what she could and couldn ' t do and who she could and couldn ' t be around . Chase believed in the freedom to choose and that was what he had been trying to teach Candice , and Chase would have been more than happy to take her back with him to Nashville where she would be happy and the two of them could live their dreams together in peace and freedom .

But , something happened to change all of those plans and dreams of them together , Chase and Candice would have one more trip through the world of pleasure between them as they made love one night at Chase ' s place in Indiana , which would be soon put up for sale as he was making Nashville his permanent home where TNA ' s home office would be based at , and for some reason unbeknownst to them at the moment , Candice became ill after the fact . Chase still being young and somewhat unexperienced to certain developments never realized what was happening as his girlfriend would become sick in the morning and then fine afterwards , unless you count the nausea whenever they would eat something . Candice really didn ' t understand what was going on either and in fear she told her mother what was going on which lead to her dad finding out and coming after Chase knowing good and well what was going on with his daughter and what the two had done together .

Chase would end up with a black eye , busted lip , and a broken rib from the beating Mr. Harper had given him for doing something to his daughter and Chase didn ' t even understand what it was he did at the time . Candice would show up not long after her daddy had left , apparently with something she had to tell him , even after the man had told Chase to not come around his daughter again . But , as soon as Candice saw what her daddy had done to Chase what she had to tell him went out the window as she at first expressed concern for the condition Chase was in trying her best to clean up his face and then Chase would ask her to leave with him to Nashville saying he would take care of her and help her find that teaching job she wanted in Nashville . But , Candice would refuse in fear of what Mr. Harper would do to him if her dad were to find out about her leaving with Chase and then after a bad fight the two ended their relationship with Chase telling her the house had sold and him leaving to Tennessee without even finding out what Candice had to tell him .

13 Years Later - June 2016 - Hospital ICU

Thirteen long years passed between the time that Candice and Chase last saw each other and the years had changed Candice for sure as health problems with her heart started up and worsened over the years . Today was a sad day as Candice was very close to dying and needed to talk to the one person she needed to tell the truth , too .

" Mom , Dad , I need you to step out for a moment while I speak to Maddie alone . " Candice said .

" No , " Mr. Harper said .

" This isn ' t a debate , I need to speak to Madison , now get out or I will have the nurse make you leave . " Candice said glaring at her dad , she was dying anyways so what more could he hurt her and meddle in her life .

" Honey , " Mrs . Harper said and the two stepped out leaving Candice alone with her 13 year old daughter .

" Madison , " Candice said .

" Yes ma ' am , " Madison said .

Madison had been the secret that Candice had been wanting to tell Chase that night before he left .

" I want you to have these . " Candice said giving her a braided bracelet and a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers and info on it .

" What are they ? " Madison asked .

" Your father gave me that bracelet once . " Candice said weakly .

" Mom , grandpa won ' t let us talk about my father . " Madison whispered to her mother .

" Maddie , your grandfather is sending you to boarding school and you can ' t be allowed to go , you have to find your father , the numbers and info I gave you is to the metal box in my closet and those numbers are the key to the box and what ' s in the metal box will lead you to your dad . Tell your father when you see him that you were what I was going to tell him and that I am sorry for the secrets and for everything else , remember Nashville , Tennessee . You are no long Madison Ava Harper , you are Madison Ava Stevens , and I want you to take this as well , it once belonged to your dad . " Candice giving Madison the bandanna that her father had worn once and had given to Candice .

" I will mom , I promise I will find him and will remember . " Madison said hiding everything in her backpack .

" Good , I love you and tell your father that my heart is still his . " Candice said .

" I will and I love you , too , mom . " Madison said .

After that Candice went into cardiac arrest and died making Madison start crying until her grandmother pulled her off of her mom ' s body and took the girl to the hall so the doctors and nurses could do their job .

" What did your mother tell you , Madison ? " Mr. Harper asked .

" None of your business , " Madison pulled away from her grandmother , grabbed her bag , and ran from the hospital as fast as she could .

" Madison , " Mr. and Mrs. Harper called to her .

Madison didn ' t look back until she was at the house she lived at with her grandparents and well her now dead mother , as she found the hidden key and opened the door running to her mom ' s room grabbing the metal box and other things she needed before running out of the house locking the door back and running to the bus station with the money she found in her mom ' s room that said it was for Madison ' s trip to Nashville .

" I will find my dad , mom , " Madison said after she had paid for her bus ticket and sat by herself at a table unlocking the metal box seeing more money for the trip and then the info on her dad which nearly made her pass out when she saw that her father was , Chase Stevens .

" All of those going to Nashville , Tennessee , your bus has arrived . " A voice on the intercom said making Madison close the box back and put her backpack on her back as she boarded the bus bound for Nashville and to find her dad .

" How hard can it be to find someone in Nashville , especially a celebrity like Chase Stevens ? But to think I had seen him once on TV and that he is my dad . " Madison remembering when she had seen her father and remembering her grandfather slapping her mother for letting Maddie watch wrestling that day now knowing why , as the bus pulled out heading to Tennessee as she sighed in relief that her grandparents hadn ' t found out yet .
