Jeremy's P.O.V
Bianca Lead me down the hall to the nearest bathroom the front of my shirt was completely ruined by whatever red liquid she had in her cup. I went to the sink and attempted to splash water on it. "You're never gonna get it out like that." Bianca said smirking. "Well do you have any other suggestions?" I asked already slightly irritated. She rolled her eyes. "Just take it off then we can wash it properly then i'll throw it in the dryer for you." I was hesitant but couldn't deny that it would be more efficient. I sighed and slid off my shirt. I put it in the sink as I started to clean it better when suddenly I felt arms around my torso. "Um, what are you doing?" I asked. "Don't worry about it just enjoy" She said. I turned around to get her off of me but she crushed her lips to mines. I was frozen. What's happening?! The only things that were running through my mind where her lip gloss flavor that tastes like pepsi and..CANDACE. My eyes grew wide as I looked passed Bianca to see a wide eyed hurt looking Candace in the doorway. I quickly pushed Bianca away. "Candace I know this looks bad but it's not what it looks like" She continued to say nothing before turning and running away. Ugh. I grabbed my wet shirt and stormed past a smirking Bianca. "Candace wait!"
Candace's P.O.V
I tried to hold back my tears as I ran through the crowd of people and out the door. What was I thinking I knew coming to this stupid party was a bad idea.I ran half way down the block before I completely collapsed crying bitter salty tears. I sat there on the sidewalk crying for what felt like hours until someone put there hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Vanessa. "Hey you alright?" I didn't answer but she understood and just sat there and held me. "I can't believe he would do this to me" I said between sobs. She turned to me. "Look Candace I know what you think you may have saw but maybe you should give him a chance to explain. The Jeremy I know is head over heels for you and would never do something like that to hurt you." My head was still reeling and I was starting to get light headed. I sighed. "I know Vanessa but you don't understand how much it hurt me to see him with her, It was like all of the wind was knocked out of me and my stomach dropped to my butt." Vanessa chuckled and I glared at her. She lifted her hands in defence. "Okay okay well how about this. You hear him out and if his explanation isn't good enough we both can kick him in the balls." That made me smile a little and I sighed. "Fine i'll talk to him but not right now I just want to go home."
No one's pov
Vanessa called Candice an Uber home and when she got home she looked at her phone and it had 10 missed calls and 5 texts from Jeremy.
Are you okay?
It wasn't what it looked like I swear
SHE kissed ME
Please believe me
I love you
She sighed and turned off her phone and went straight to bed.
Next morning.
It was a sunday morning and Candace had just been awaken by Perry. She opened her eyes and groaned Phineas and Ferb knows that she hates animals on her bed. She reluctantly got up out of bed and walked to her bathroom. She looked in the mirror and all the memories from last night came flooding back. She held back her tears as she got ready for her day and reached for her phone to turn it back on. She was surprised to see she had 40 missed calls and voicemails from her friends and of course Jeremy. She sighed and closed it not wanting to be bothered by anyone. She took a shower and put her hair in a bun. She didn't plan on leaving the house plus her parent were supposed to be coming back later today so she had to make sure the house was presentable.
Sauntered downstairs where Phineas and Ferb were up making pancakes and eggs. "Hey Candace how was the party?" Asked phineas while scrambling the eggs. Candace stiffened as she sat at the table then she put her hands over her face and cried. Phineas was taken aback and looked at Ferb who shrugged. He turned the fire off and went over to the table. "Hey are you okay? What's wrong?" Candace tried to stop crying sniffing and trying to calm her breath. Her face was bright red and Phineas waited patiently for her to finish and handed her a napkin to dry her tears. "Did something happen last night? Is it Vanessa? Or Jeremy?" She cried harder at the mention of his name and Phineas caught on. "Okay so Jeremy...what did he do?" She she choked through sobs. "He-he-he kissed-" Phineas's eyes widened. "He cheated on you?!" She nodded and put her head on the table. 'That just doesn't make any sense 'thought Phineas. "Ferb get Candace a plate" Ferb swiftly assembled a plate and set it in front of her. Candace stared at it and sighed. Not even food could help her mood right now.
*ding* *dong* Phineas went to answer the door. There stood Vanessa and Stacy with a bag. "Hey Phin we need to speak to Candace" he nodded hesitantly not sure if she wanted to be bothered but these were her friends. He stepped aside and they came in and saw Candace at the table. "Hey Candy how ya feelin?" Asked Stacy. She just groaned picking at her eggs. Stacy looked at Vanessa who looked worried too. "Okay get up let's go to your room we need to talk" they both tried to stand her up but she was not having it. "Candace c'mon" she sighed and slowly got up and followed them up the stairs.
Once they were in the room they closed the door and sat on her bed. Candace all of a sudden just burst out crying. "Oh baby don't cry" Vanessa cooed while hugging her. "He's not worth your tears" she continued to sob into Vanessa's shoulder. Stacy looked around. "Where's your phone?" Candace pointed to the bathroom and Stacy went to retrieve it. She turned it on and it erupted with text messages and notifications. Surprised she almost dropped it but saved herself just in time. "Wow" she said raging all of Jeremy's texts. He really seems to be sorry. "Have you read these Candace?" She shook her head no."Maybe you should hear him out." She shook her head. "I will...but for now I just need time."
Monday Morning (at school)
Walking into school reluctantly Candace felt like all eyes were on her...and not in a good way. She was numb. She was conflicted with herself because she technically cheated too...Declan kissed her. But then again HE kissed Her not the other way around. Though she didn't think he initiated it he sure wasn't pushing her away...She went straight to her locker not looking forward to going to class. "Hey Candy you feeling any better?" Stacy popped up next to her with a soft smile. Candace sighed and nodded. "I'm getting there" stacy nodded and took her by the arm as they walked to class together.
They entered the cold classroom and took their seats. Candace paused for a second before taking her seat. Declan was probably gonna be late again. The bell rang and as if on cue he came walking in looking as cocky as ever. He sat next to me and he gave me a smile. I rolled my eyes and looked down at my desk. "Hey" he nudged me. I continued to look down not really wanting to talk to him. "Look I just wanted to say i'm sorry" I looked up at him surprised not thinking that he would apologize. "I did a really dumb thing at my party the other night I got caught up in my confidence and If you don't wanna talk to me ever again I totally understand." Candace's mind was all over the place here Declan was apologizing for kissing her and it actually sounded..sincere? She took a moment to analyze his face for any sign of lies. She found none. "Okay...I accept your apology but I kinda have to talk to you or else we would fail this class. He laughed and nodded. "True. Well then let's get to it partner"
Phineas P.O.V
Well summer is officially over I think to myself as I see people bundled up in sweaters and beanies. I was walking through the halls of Danville Middle school. It's supposed to be some big deal that i'm an 8th grader now and i'm going to highschool next year but I feel the same I don't think it's a big deal. I'm just glad that my friends are here with me I don't know what I would do without them, especially Isabella, she's my best friend (other than Ferb). We tell eachother everything…well almost everything.
"Phineas! Are you listening?" I snapped out of my thoughts to see Ferb waving his hand in front of my face. "Huh?" He rolled his eyes. "I was asking if you wanted to join a club or something since it's out last year" I thought about it. We've participated in many clubs but never actually was apart of any. "What club did you have in mind?"
…..
Candace had been avoiding Jeremy all day and was doing a pretty good job of it. She did want to hear him out but she just wasn't ready..he hurt her whether it was intentional or not.
"Hey Candy coltrane and I are going to the SPOT you wanna come?" The SPOT is this coffee/food place around the corner from campus it's a nice hang out place. "Um I don't know Stacy..I'm not really in a the mood. "Alright well if you change your mind you know where to find me" I nodded and closed my locker as she walked away. "Hey Ms mopy what's wrong?" I looked back to see Declan with his smug smirk and his bag draped lazily over his shoulder. I rolled my eyes. "Hi Declan I'm not mopy...just over it." Declan has actually been quite nice lately... it's refreshing. "Well what can I do to help?" he said leaning against the locker. "Well unless you have a time machine...nothing." He was silent for a sec. "Well too bad I don't have one but I do have great company and a winning smile" he said smugly. "Ha-ha" I laughed sarcastically. "No seriously though let's hang out who knows it may cheer you up" She sighed. She didn't have to be home for another hour or two. "Fine lets go to the SPOT Stacy is there with coltrane" He nodded and we headed out of the double doors of the school.
Jeremy's P.O.V
"Jeremy! Get your head in the game man!" I sighed before realizing what I was doing. I was at practice and sucking. Why? Because i'm a total ass. I can't stop thinking about that stupid party and that stupid moment. Candace has been avoiding me all week I called a time out and sat on the bench and took a swig of my water. "Hey you alright man?" My best friend Brandon came and sat next to me. "I'm fine" I say unconvincingly. He rolls his eyes. "Is this about that chick?" I glared at him. "She's not just a chick. She's the love of my life and I let her just run out of my life." I put my head in my hands out of frustration. "Alright dude calm down. How about we skip practice and go to the dot their cheese fries will clear your mind." "I don't know man…" "C'mon you're going and you're gonna forget about this chick" I rolled my eyes..."whatever man"
Walking into the dot I was hit with the heavenly smell for coffee. I walked up to the counter and ordered before taking a seat with brandon at a table near the window. I don't really come here a lot..last time I was here it was with..Candace? I looked up to a table on the other side of the room Candace was here with stacy, coltrane and Declan? That's weird...I thought about going to talk to her but before I could guess who walks through the door...
Candace's P.O.V
The SPOT was nice not too crowded and good service. We found Stacy and Coltrane laughing all lovey dovey. I'm glad she found someone...even if it happened to be the same time I lost someone. I'm happy for her. "Hey Candace! and...Declan...weird but okay" Declan smirked and nodded at her and shook Coltranes hand before sitting down next to me. "Glad you decided to come we were just talking about going to a concert next month." Coltrane added. "Oh you mean that Paisley Brothers concert in LA?" Declan asked causing them to look at him surprised. "You've heard of them?" Stacy asked surprised. "Of course just because i'm rich and cultured doesn't mean I live under a rock" Candace laughed at that causing him to smile. "I'm gonna go order be right back" They nodded and he went to the counter. "So Candace what' going on there?" Stacy asked. "I thought you hated him"
"I did but he apologized and...I don't know Stacy he's nice, I think we could be good friends"
Coltrane snorted. "Friends? Candace a guy like that isn't "just friends" with girls" "What do you mean?" She asked. "He likes you" Candace was silent for a second and before she could respond Declan was back with two drinks. "Here you like chocolate right?" She smiled, "You didn't have to get me anything" He scoffed "Nonsense I brought you here to cheer you up and cheer you up I shall. Don't worry your pretty little head I mean we could have shared mines but we'll save that for our honeymoon" he joked. She laughed awkwardly and nodded before glaring at a smirking Coltrane.
The bells on the door jingled signaling that someone had come into the cafe. Stacy's eyes grew wide as she saw who had come in. "Hey guys maybe we should go.." She said nervously. "What why?" said Coltrane and she nudged him as if telling him to shut up. He seemed to see what she saw and nodded in agreement. "Um yeah lets go"
Candace was confused because she hadn't even finished her milkshake yet. She turned around and her eyes narrowed. Bianca was approaching a confused and annoyed looking Jeremy sitting with his basketball friend. She hadn't even noticed him there. How long had he been there? She watched as Bianca smiled her flirty smile at him saying something she couldn't hear from her spot across the room. Jeremy shook his head harshly saying something and stood up. I can't believe he's even still talking to her. Candace thought. As he tried to walk away and toward us my heart stopped when she grabbed his arm pulling him back to her and kissed him. I had enough. "Let's go" I said trying not to sound bothered but I could tell I was failing. Declan gave me a sympathetic look and wrapped his arm around me as he led me to the door. "Wait Candace" I heard Jeremy yell. I felt a hand grasp my wrist and I yanked it back quickly. I looked up to find Jeremys blue eyes looking at me desperately. "Leave me alone" I said looking away. "Candace please listen to me" That's when Declan stepped in. "Jeremy she said leave her alone just back off dude. Go back to your whore over there." He pointed towards Bianca who had followed Jeremy outside now glaring at Declan. "She's my girlfriend what do you mean back off? You back off!" Jeremy said pushing Declan making him stumble back and his arm to release me. "Guys stop" Candace said barley above a whisper. "Girlfriend? Since when? You lost that privilege dude when you kissed that bitch" "Um hello I'm right here!" Bianca yelled annoyed. "She means nothing to me she kissed ME i didn't kiss her Candace you gotta believe me I love you" Candace looked up with tears in her eyes. "Do you? Because 2 minutes ago when you locked lips yet again with her you could've fooled me." He groaned. "Look can we just talk? Alone? Please?"She contemplated it then she shook her head. "Not now Jeremy"
"Why? Why wont you hear me out?" "She said not now dude" Once again Declan chimed in. Jeremy looked about ready to punch him. "Why are you even here, you tryna steal my girlfriend now?" Declan scoffed. "Trust me if I was I'm sure I'd be a better boyfriend than you" This made Candace look at him wide eyed. Jeremy lunged at him but coltrane held him back. "Okay okay guys calm down." Stacy chimed in loudly. "This is not the place to be arguing. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves. c'mon Candace" She wrapped her arms around Candace and walked away. Jeremy ran his fingers through his hair stressfully and Declan continued to glare at him. "Happy now?" He asked Jeremy. "Well I can tell you one thing" Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "And what's that?" Declan smirked. "I'll make sure she's well taken care of. Did you know her lips taste like peppermint?" Jeremy couldn't control himself his fist collided with Declan's nose and he yelped in pain. Jeremy's friend who was standing back watching the whole thing grabbed Jeremy. "C'mon dude we can't have you injured before the game tomorrow. We'll deal with him later" He said dragging him away leaving Declan with a bloody nose and a wicked smirk.
Candace made it home. The events of the day really taking a toll on her. Her mind was moving 100 miles per minute. She missed Jeremy. She really did. Then Declan saying what he said got to her too. She knew he liked her but he's never said it out loud he didn't technically say it but it was implied right? Either way she needed to lie down.
