Chapter 4- Like Old Times

The three of them were riding in the car, not one of them saying a word. Matt finally broke the silence by asking where they wanted to go.

"Talbert's?" Candice suggested.

"Sounds good." Matt replied smiling at her.

They pulled up to the place and got out and walked inside. A couple of people came over and asked for some autographs. Candice smiled because she could tell Matt and Jeff were proud. The more she thought to herself the more she realized she could not stay mad at them forever. Sure she could still be upset, but they were given a second chance. Maybe they won't leave like they did before. After Matt and Jeff signed them, they joined her at the bar.

"I've been thinking." Candice said as soon as they sat down.

"That's dangerous." Matt joked.

Candice popped him in the arm. She caught herself smiling from ear to ear. She was shocked that they weren't too careful on what they say because they didn't want to hurt her even more. She was glad though they weren't acting like that, she wanted it to be like old times.

"Shut up." she replied laughing. "Now as I was saying I was thinking, maybe this is a second chance."

"I think your right." Jeff and Matt said at the same time.

They all busted out laughing. Candice couldn't help but think how soon she had opened back up to them. But then again, these were the two she grew up with. The two she had known since she was little. They ordered their food and sat there looking at each other. Matt got an idea. He ran over to the jukebox and selected a song. When it started playing Jeff and Candice couldn't resist so they got up and started dancing. The song was Boot Scootin' Boogie. Back in their high school days they'd always dance to the song. Candice was in the middle, Jeff was to the left of her, and Matt was to the right. After they started dancing, other people began to join as well. Candice was smiling and having a good time. She was shocked, this had been the first time in years since she had smiled and had a good time. When the song was over the three walked back over to the table, laughing and out of breath.

"Wow I needed that." Candice said while trying to stop laughing.

"So are you going to the reunion?" Matt asked.

"I had planned on it. Are ya'll?"

"Yeah." he replied.

"Do you have a place to stay?" Jeff asked her.

"The motel. There was no way I was gonna stay with my parents and bro."

"Well would you like to stay with me and Jeff?" Matt asked her.

"I'm not.."

"Come on Candi, we need to catch up. Please?" Jeff said giving her the puppy dog look.

"Quit giving me that look." she said as she reached over the table slapping him in the arm. Just as she did her elbow hit Matt's drink and it went everywhere.This man came over with a rag.

"Matt I am sooo sorry." she said while the man cleaned the table up.

"Candi it's ok." he said letting a small laugh come out.

Candice smiled at Matt and was about to thank the man who cleaned up the mess, until she recognized the face.

"Aren't you the police officer who pulled me over yesterday?" she asked looking at the man.

"Ummm I don't now." he said and then left.

"That was strange." Matt said with a confused look on his face, but not as confused as Candice's look. "So Candi are you going to stay with us?" Matt asked hoping she'd say yes.

"Fine." she said giving in to the two.

They all finished up eating and headed back to the hotel. When they got in the lobby Jeff asked if they wanted to head to Cameron that night. Candice said sure because she didn't want to stay at the hotel too long, knowing that Susan was paying for it. They agreed to meet her in the lobby in 20 minutes. She made her way up to the room and pulled out her phone to text Susan.

"I rlly appreciated the room... I'm gonna head 2 Cameron tonight tho."

"What?! Ur supposed 2 b having fun."

"I ran into a couple of old friends... I'm gonna b staying with them in Cameron, and they're going 2nite."

"Oh so u ran into the Hardy Boyz."

"How'd u know?"

"I saw Jeff pull u out of the crowd."

"Oh... well thx for the room.. I better get going... ttyl bye!"

Candice closed her phone and grabbed her bags. She left her room and started making her way to the elevator. She felt like someone was staring at her, but when she turned around she didn't see anyone. She began to feel paranoid again, fearing that her stalker was at it again. She stepped in the elevator and quickly pressed the button to close the doors. She closed her eyes and began to think back. When the elevator doors opened Jeff and Matt were standing right there.

"You ok?" Matt asked her.

Candice jumped when she realized they were standing right there.

"Dang ya'll scared me and yeah I'm fine."

Matt shrugged and took her luggage. They all checked out of the hotel and walked out in the parking lot. They put everything in the trunk and Matt climbed in the drivers seat, Candince in the passenger seat, and Jeff in the back. Before they started out Matt noticed something on his windshield. He stuck his body out of the window, grabbed it, and slid back inside the car. He read the note and you could see the color draining from his face.

"What is it bro?" Jeff asked him.

Matt wadded up the paper, threw it out the window, and then pounded his hands into the steering wheel.

"Dude what was it?" Jeff asked again.

"A note to Candice." he said.

"Me?"

"Yeah. All it said was 'I'm watching you.'" he said closing his eyes.

Candice slowly turned her head until she was staring at the floor.

"We won't let anyhting happen to you. He's gonna have to go through us first."Jeff reassured her.
