Chapter 14- The News

Candice was gathering her stuff together, ready to get out of the hospital. Paige was on her way to pick her up. They were all going to go back to Matt's house and just chill. When Paige got there, Candice signed the discharge papers and the two left the hospital. In the car ride Candice looked over at Paige and could tell something was up.

"What's up with you?" Candice finally asked.

"Nothing." she said grinning.

"Don't make me force it out of you."

"All it is, is with everything that has been going on with my life, like losing my job, apartment and stuff... I'm actually happy. I got you, then you introduced me to Matt and Jeff, who are really awesome, and I know that even though I just met them, it seems like I've known them for years. I guess it could be since you always talked about them non stop." Paige joked.

"Well I can already tell that your realllllllllllllly happy I introduced you to a certain someone."

Paige just smiled.

"So that's what it is!" Candice said.

"That is what?" Paige asked.

"That's the reason your so happy! You and Jeff are going out aren't ya'll?!" Candice asked getting really excited.

"Mayyyybe." Paige said laughing.

Candice let out a squeal. "Oh my gosh I'm so happy for you." she said excitedly. Paige just shook her head and laughed at her friend.

"Well what about you and Matt?" Paige asked.

"Me and Matt are just friends."

"Uh huh." Paige said shooting her a look. Candice just rolled her eyes. When they finally arrived to Matt's, they were greeted by Jeff, Matt, Shannon, and Susan. As soon as Candice saw Susan she jumped out of the car and threw her arms around her.

"I'm so glad your ok." Susan said returning the hug.

"Well lets head inside, it's about to start raining." Matt said.

They all made their way inside. All of them were laughing and trading stories about their past. As the rain poured Candice looked out the window, watching it. Without even saying anything she went outside. Susan followed her.

"Candice what are you doing out here?! Your going to get sick." she said, trying to pull her back inside.

"No I won't. I just want to be out here."

"What's wrong?" Susan said while walking up beside the girl. She figured since she was already wet.

"The reason I left that night, was because I heard Jeff and Matt talking about heading back out again. I just kept remembering the day I woke up and went to their house, forgetting that they had left, just because I was so used to going there. I remember the look on their dad's face when I asked them where they were. He invited me in when he realized I forgot about it, I felt so stupid, but we just sat there for over an hour talking about Matt and Jeff. After that day, I always waited for a visit, phone call, a letter, or anything to let me know that they hadn't forgotten about me, but 13 years and nothing. I don't blame them for following their dreams, I am soooo proud of how far they've come, and I forgive them for what they did, but I just... well I don't know what my problem is anymore. There's just something inside of me and it's trying to tell me something but I have no clue what it is trying to tell me."

"Honey, as much as I would love to help you, but I'm afraid this is going to have to be something your going to have to find out on your own. I'm going to be here for you no matter what. You'll always be my other daughter." Susan told her.

"I know. And you'll always be my second mama." Candice said smiling.

Susan grinned. "Well I do have some advice for you."

"What's that?"

"Move back here. Just this past hour, with all that has happened to you, I have never seen you smile like you are right now. You belong here. Your friends, your family, your heart.... all here. Not in Knoxville."

"But what about you and Lewie?"

"Sweetheart I'll always love you and I know Lewie does too. And every chance we'd get to come see you, we'd do it in a heartbeat." she said smiling.

"I'll always love you two too." Candice said and then leaned over and hugged Susan.

"Alright now that part of your problem is settled, can we please go back inside, we're dripping wet and I'm cold." Susan asked.

Candice laughed and then started back to the house.

"Ya'll are soaking wet!" Shannon said.

"Well thanks for stating the obvious." Susan said.

Matt ran and got them some towels. They were all sitting in the kitchen/dining room area when Matt pulled Candice into the living room.

"Candice, I need to ask you something."

"I have something to say first." she said. "I'm moving back here. I'm going to get an apartment."

"That's great! But I was going to ask you if you'd like to go out on the road with me, Jeff, and Paige."

"I'd love to, but.."

"But what?" Matt ask confused.

"I was just talking to Susan and I feel like there's something that's missing in my life and I feel that staying here in Cameron I might be able to figure out what. I trust you this time to keep in contact." she said grinning. "After 13 years of damage and within a week our friendship is repaired. It just shows you right there that we're supposed to be friends. Nothing can tear us apart."

Matt forced a fake smile. "Yeap. Well we're really going to miss you. Will you at least sleep on it. We're leaving tomorrow."

"Matt I've made up my mind. I think it'd be best to stay here. I need to repair things between David and I."

"Ok, but if you change your mind, the offer still stands."

"Thank you. Now lets get back in there and enjoy this day since ya'll are leaving tomorrow."
