Liars Best Friend

Chapter 15

Pain. All I feel is pain. Each moment it gets worse. It's hurts that I can't breathe.

Why? Why is this happening to us? To me?

When Charles stopped, I slid my back against the wall feeling numb. I'm in pain and I'm so used to it by now that's it's numb.

"Candice, wake up," someone said shaking me.

No human being should ever experience this kind of pain.

"Candice!"

I jolt up sweating and my heart racing. Slowly I calm down, and a hand gets placed on my arm.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked as I laid back.

"Yeah, just a dream," I responded putting my hand on my head.

"Are-"

"Jason, I'm fine. Promise."

We laid in silence, until I straddled his lap and kissed him. Soon things got heated and we were taking off clothes.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," I said nodding.

Let's just say our first time wasn't bad at all.

Later in the day, Hanna texted me asking me to come over. I said yes and got a bag ready.

When I got there, her mom let me in and gave me some cocoa.

"I haven't seen you in a while," Mrs. Marin said as I sat at the counter.

"I've been at home. So much has changed."

"If you want to talk I'm here," she answered rubbing my arm.

"Mrs. Marin don't take this the wrong way, but none of us will talk about what happened in there."

"Maybe one day you will."

"Hey," Hanna said walking in. "Let's go upstairs."

"I'll see you later," I told Mrs. Marin and followed Hanna to her room.

"What did my mom say?" Hanna asked when we reached her room.

"So, you're changing your room," I stated before answering.

Her room is completely different now. All her stuff is gone and her wallpaper has been ripped of the wall.

"Yeah, b-"

"I know. Because of Charles," I said sitting on her mattress.

"Yeah."

The rest of the night we talked and died our hair. I decided to keep it blonde, I guess I like it or something.

The next morning, I left Hanna a note saying I went home. When I left, I thought I saw someone in a black hoodie and freaked out.

I drove home quickly and ran to my room locking the door. I hid in my closet and tried to calm down.

"Hello?" Spencer said answering my call.

"Spence, come over. I'm freaking out."

"What happened?" She asked as I heard her grab her keys.

"I saw someone- they're in my house," I whispered hearing some things downstairs.

"I'm on my way. Just don't hang up," Spencer told me.

"Ahhh!" I screamed as my closet opened.

"Candice? Candice, are you there? Candice!"
