Unforgettable [on hiatus]

Chapter 1- Candice Avalon

Chapter 1- Candice Avalon

I remember my senior year, the worst school year of my life.

People called me "emo" or "loner". And they didn't know how much it hurt. It hurts to know that they're right, they always will be.

Junior year, everything was actually perfect, but then my so-called 'father' had to ruin it. I had the best boyfriend, a good life, the best friends. I was the head cheerleader and people said I was half of the 'Golden Couple' of our school. My ex-best friend convinced me that everyone loved me and adored me. That all the girls wanted to be like ne.But then they were all gone in a blink of an eye.

My father almost killed my ex-boyfriend.

And it sucks.

Everybody hated me after that. Tyler, he was the popular bad boy jock. Everyone loved him, all the boys envied him, the girls wanted him.

He was . . . perfect.

I don't even know how people knew that my "dad" stabbed Tyler. It just happened. People started blaming me and Tyler tried to stop them but it didn't work.

I remember the month after the almost murder, I visited his hospital room and told him it was over. I wanted to keep him safe. Before I left, I swear, I saw tears in his eyes.

He never cried.

And I felt like the worst person on earth.

Now here I am, four years later, I'm twenty-one and I never got over it. So now I'm standing in front of the therapy center.

My uncle said I needed group therapy, so that I can relate to the other patients and such.

As if that would happen.

I have no idea where my father ran off to and I couldn't care less.

He didn't even give me a proper reason on why he did it.

My uncle said that I would slowly. . . heal from what happened. But, I never did.

And now he forced me to join this.

I scowled at the door and pushed it open, when I looked around it was empty.

I sighed and was about to get out of the awful place when I heard someone call my name.

"Ah, Ms. Candice Avalon, nice of you to make it." A girl around three to five years older than me suddenly appeared.

This must be the therapist. Penny I-forgot-her-last-name.

"Yeah..." I grunted and her smile slipped off.

She must've thought I was sweet and kind.

Well, the chick thought wrong.

"Oh. Um, right this way please." She said walking towards another door.

I groaned but followed her.

When she opened the door I was surprised to see three girls around my age sitting there and they were all glaring at the wall.

I can just feel the tension.

"Erm, guys, this is Candice Avalon." Penny said quietly.

The three heads turned to face me and I was taken aback when they glared at me.

Well some people are PMSing.

Look who's talking, I mean thinking.

"Introduce yourselves?" Penny squeaked nervously as she stepped aside to let me in.

"Hey, I'm Justin Bieber." A redhead sarcastically said.

It actually made me crack a small grin.

Penny sighed and sat down on a bean bag, she motioned me to sit down so I sat on a yellow bean bag.

"I'm Cassandra Maylor." A blonde muttered, rolling her eyes.

I snickered quietly.

Maylor. What? Is she the mayor?

"What?" Cassandra snapped.

I quickly sobered up and frowned.

I just snickered. And grinned... At the same day. Has hell frozen over?

I cleared my throat and saw that Penny was smiling.

"Continue..." Penny raised an eyebrow at the remaining girls.

The redhead and a black haired girl frowned at Penny.

"Cameryn Anderson." The redhead murmured.

"So, Candice, you gonna snicker again?" Cassandra asked, narrowing her eyes at me.

Okay, so I snickered once. Big deal.

I shook my head with a scowl formed on my face.

"Camilla Rivers." The other one said a bit more confidently.

They all turned-- including Penny-- and raised their eyebrows at me.

"What? You guys know my name already!" I snapped.

Memories suddenly flew through my mind.

"Candice, never ever snap at anyone okay?"

"Yes, mommy."

"People will think you're rude."

"What's rude daddy?"

"Candice!" Fingers snapped in frint of my face.

I looked up and saw Cassandra staring at me worriedly.

"You okay?" Cameryn asked.

Why are they worried? We just met.

"Fine." I scowled.

"This is Candice Avalon." Penny sighed.

They already know that!

"I suppose you guys know why you're here." Penny smiled, bringing out a notepad and a pencil.

"To pour out our emotions and problems to random strangers." Cameryn muttered moodily.

That was 100% accurate. I love this girl.

Penny sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Penny!" A familiar voice shouted making my blood run cold and made me freeze.

Oh no.

Why was he here?

What the hell is he doing here?

How does he know Penny?
