A/N: i know this chapter doesn't really go along with what's going on between bradin and kandy. but what's going on with kandy is part of why she doesn't want bradin to fall for her.
Kandy was the the bowling lanes working the night shift, especially after receiving a phone call from her father about her brother. She hated the night shift more than anything. Her life was a living hell whenever she worked at the lanes. Guys would always make moves on her and harass her. Every few days or so, she would want to go back to Washington because the people in Playa Linda were pissing her off and making her life worse than it already was.
She sat at a table in the bowling alley and sighed as she saw more teenagers come into the alley.
"Kandy we need you!" her manager yelled.
She stood up and walked up to the desk to help the teenagers get ready to bowl.
"What's going on?" a guy asked her, "Do you want to join me in my car?"
Kandy just gave him a glare and went back to getting them set them up on four lanes due to the amount of people that were in the group. As she got them their shoes, she saw Will and Cassie.
"Hey girl!" Cassie yelled.
Kandy just flashed a smile and continued to get the group ahead of them their shoes.
"Hey what's going on?" Cassie asked worriedly.
"Nothing," Kandy said as she continued to get shoes for the group of teenagers.
"Kandy," Cassie said.
"It's nothing, Cass!" Kandy yelled, "Just leave me alone."
"Kandy, what's going on with you?" her manager asked.
"Why is everyone on my case?" she yelled walking away after giving the last customer their pair of shoes.
She sat down on a bench outside the bowling alley. She knew it was her fault for everything bad that has happened in her life. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair.
About half an hour later, she walked into her apartment. Her boss let her go early because of what has happened to her brother and she didn't want to go crazy and take it out on anyone.
"Hey," someone said stoping her from closing the door. She looked behind her and saw Bradin. "Are you okay?"
"No," she said, "What are you doing here?"
"Someone said you were upset. I wanted to make sure that you're okay."
"How did you know that I was here?"
"Will called me," he said, "So, are you okay?"
"I wish I was," she said wiping her eyes.
"Anything I can do?"
"Can you leave? I want to be alone tonight," she said.
"No problem. But remember, you still owe me," he said running over her cheek.
"I know. I know," she said, "Please just go."
