Kandy went home the following day. She got to her apartment and sat down on the couch. She thought about what happened the previous night and began to ball her eyes out. She was ruining her life and didn't know how to stop. SHe was crying so hard that she fell onto her side and was now laying down on the couch. As she lied there, someone was banging on her door.

"Kandy, open up!" her brother yelled, "Open the goddamn door, Kandy!"

She stood up, walked over to the door, and opened it. Once it was open, her brother walked in and she saw Bradin waiting outside.

"Tell him how you feel," he said pointing to Bradin, "Tell him damn it."

She looked away and bit her bottom lip.

"Kandy, why did you make him promise not to fall for you?"

"Because I would hurt him," she said quietly.

"No you wouldn't," Bradin said walking inside. "No girl has ever hurt me. I've always hurt them in some way. You make me happy, Kandy. I can't live without you."

"Why should I believe you?" she asked.

"I was at the hospital last night in tears because I thought you were dead after the accident. Ask Cassie, your brohter, your father, anyone that was there. I was in tears."

"I'm just like my mother! I'll walk out on you like she did to our family when I was born!" she screamed.

Kandy!" her brother yelled, "You're not mom! You're nowhere near mom!"

"Yes I am. I look like her. I have her personality, her actions. I'm like her twin!"

"Twins aren't always the same," Bradin said, "I know twins that are the complete opposite."

"Mom left because she couldn't handle raising children our age at the time and she fell out of love with our family. Yes, dad was devistated. So was I. But, look at how you turned out."

Kandy looked down at herself and shrugged. "I don't see anything special."

Bradin spoke up again, "I do. You're beautiful. I saw that the night we met on the beach."

"I'm trying to save you from getting hurt, Bradin."

"You're hurting me by pushing me away like you are now."

"Kandy, be with him for god's sake. He loves you. Tell him how you feel!"

Bradin walked up to Kandy as she broke into more tears and placed her in his arms. He heard her whisper something but it was so soft and quiet that he couldn't hear the words. "Repeat that," he said pulling away but keeping his hands on her arms.

"I love you, Brae."

He smiled his million dollar smile. "Now, was that so hard?"

"Yes," she said wiping her eyes.

"Baby, if you're scared, tell me so we can take things slow."

"Even after...you know?" she asked.

"Yes. I just want you to be happy."

"See, Kandy. He's not a bad guy. He's not like the other ones that wanted to be with you. I haven't threatened him once yet."

She laughed and looked at Braidn. "Is that true?"

He nodded and smiled.
