That same morning after Jeremy left he headed straight to the mall for work on the way there he texted Coltrane and Stacy

Group text Coltrane, Stacy: Meet me at slushy burger I need to talk to you guys ASAP!

By the time he arrived at the mall he still had 30 minutes to spare before he had to clock in he walked inside the mall heading towards the slushy burger when he saw Coltrane and stacy sitting on the table waiting for him.

He walked up to them. "Hey guys I'm glad you guys could make it" they both looked up at him "hey man what's up what's the emergency?" Jeremy sat down across from them and took a deep breath "yesterday Candace remembered all of her memories with me!" Stacys eyes widen "oh my gosh that's great?" Jeremy chuckled "well I'm just going to tell you we had sex"

Coltrane and Stacy stared at him with shock expressions "YOU SLEPT WITH HER!" Stacy said out loud. But as they were in there own conversation little did Jeremy know that Monty who had been crushing on Vanessa since they met was walking by when he heard Stacy "YOU SLEPT WITH HER!" "She's not really dead!" Monty whispered to himself.

Jeremy smiled at them "yes and it was amazing" Stacy looked back at Jeremy "wait what are you going to do about Vanessa then?" Jeremy put his hand to his forehead "oh shit! I completely forgot about her!... um well I'm going to break up with her."

Coltrane looked at Stacy and Jeremy "okay man but let her down easy are you going to tell her you slept with Candace?" Jeremy thought about it for a minute "nah I don't think it's necessary I mean she's already going to be upset why upset her more besides what she doesn't know can't hurt her."

By the time they were done talking it was time for Jeremy to clock in for work "I'll catch up with you guys later I'm gonna go over to Vanessa later and break up with her." Stacy put her hand on Jeremy's shoulder "please take me to Candace I think she's ready and I want to see my best friend!"

Jeremy looked at her "I'll talk to her about you today and see if she even remembers you" and with that he walked away.

Candace and Benjamin's P.O.V.

Candace was in her room sitting on her bed and she began to look around for her cellphone and when she found it she dialed Benjamin and after a few rings he answered "hey babe I've missed you!"  She faked smile "I missed you more can you come over to my house I need to talk to you about something okay?" And she hanged up.

After 10 minutes of waiting for him to come over she looked outside her window and she saw Benjamin's car pull up. She runs down the stairs hearing someone knock on the door she opens up her eyes widen "hey babe" he's standing there and he hands her the bouquet of flowers "I'd thought I'd get my lovely girlfriend some flowers" he smirks before pulling her into a hug.

Hugging him back tears start to form in her eyes she pulls away "thank you so much Benjamin come on in" she leads him inside the house then upstairs to her room. Once they were in her room they both sat down on her bed she she was looking at Benjamin and then at the flowers he got her.

She bagan to remember last night when she and Jeremy had sex on the exact same spot and the guilt started to wash over body. And she started to cry, he turned and saw she was crying and he got up concerned for her and pulls her into a hug "Candace what's wrong?"

Backing away from his embrace "don't touch me Benjamin." "Candace what's wrong?!" She stands up from her bed looking at him with tears in her eyes "I don't deserve you, and your going to hate me so much, but the guilt is eating me alive, Benjamin... Jeremy and I slept together last night."

He stands there not knowing how to react "I can't believe you, Candace! You out of all people?!" "Benjamin I'm so sorry one thing led to another" he shaked his head at her "no I can't believe I was so stupid, I made a mistake of trusting you with him!" He walked out of her room and slammed her door and left her house.

She softly cried into her pillow she thought telling the truth would help her stop feeling so guilty but it made her feel worse seeing how much she hurt Benjamin made her more upset with herself. She was feeling so conflicted with herself she knew she loved Benjamin but she also loved Jeremy they had so much history together she wasn't sure who to choose.

She walked outside of her house and walked over to Benjamin's house and try to talk to him. After walking 10 minutes to his house she couldn't believe she was outside of his door she gently knocked on his door. After a few minutes he opened his door to find Candace standing outside he took one look at her and remembered what she did to him "what are you doing here?"

She looked up at him feeling horrible once again "I just want to talk to you" "why should we even talk he said with no emotion "you cheated on me remember, I don't have to talk to you!" She sighed "I know and I'm sorry, but please just hear me out?" He sighed "fine come in" She entered his house and sat down on Benjamin's couch and he took a seat next to her "Benjamin I'm really sorry" he sighed "Candace if you just came here to apologize then I don't want to hear it"

she stood up from the couch "fine but just so you know I'm not who you think I am my name is Candace, but I got into a car accident about a year ago and when I woke up I didn't remember anything and Logan and my dad took me in but they didn't know anything about me so they told me I was there family." And Jeremy was my old boyfriend from my past that's why he always wanted to hang around me... I just thought you should know the truth about me."

He already knew about this since Logan had told him but he didn't think it was the right time to tell her he know "do you still have feelings for him?" She bite down on her lower lip "I don't know we have so much history and I don't know how I feel about you two but I am truly sorry about what happened."

He pulled her into a hug so she could stop talking while rubbing her back softly "maybe I can forgive you" he whispered into her ear

Jeremy and Vanessa's and some Monty P.O.V.
After Jeremy got off work he texted Vanessa

Jeremy: can I come over I need to talk to you?

Vanessa: of course

Monty was currently over at Vanessa's house trying to tell her what he heard. "Who was that?" He asked Vanessa looked at him "oh it's Jeremy he's coming over right now" monty looked at her with a sympathetic smile "Vanessa there's something I need to tell you"

"Okay what is it?" He took a deep breath and looked at her "While I was at the mall today I over heard Stacy saying that Jeremy slept with Candace." Vanessa looked at him like she just got punched in the stomach "I'm sorry but he slept with Candace! I thought she was dead?"

Just as Monty was going to reply he got interrupted by Jeremy. "Hey Vanessa he walked up to her about to give her a hug but she pulled away. "Get away from me!" she cried Jeremy looked at her confused "Vanessa what's wrong?" "How could you! she felt her tears finally streaming down her face "how could you sleep with her! I thought you loved me but I guess that was all some lie wasn't it?"
"Vanessa I'm sorry" "So she was wasn't dead after all?"

"No She wasn't I was going to tell you today about what happened between us" Vanessa wiped her tears off her face "just leave you never really loved me" Jeremy backed away and he looked at her "I'm sorry Vanessa but once I found out she was alive I knew it has always been her" and he walked away.
