Chapter 26

"Candice wake up sweatheart" My mother's angelic voice woke me up.
"I am awake" I said loudly so she can hear me.
"Ok get ready then come here for breakfast" she said.
"I will" I said loudly again.

I looked at the clock hanging over the door, it was 8:15 am.
One day left I reminded myself.

"Don't be late Candice" my mother's voice broke my thoughts.

I went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, brushed my hair,changed my clothes into a black t-shirt and sweatpant then left to the kitchen.

I entered the kitchen, my mom and Dad were sitting at the table having breakfast, I joined them and sat beside my mother.

"Good morning Candice" my father said.
"Good morning dad" I smiled.
"Did you sleep well yesterday honey?" My mom asked.
"Yes mom" I replied.
"Are you going somewhere today?" She asked.
"I think I will go to the university to collect my stuff and say good bye to my friends" I replied.
"And you will come back here right?" My father asked.
"Yeah, don't worry Dad I will be back" I assured him then ate my breakfast.

I ate some hot dogs and drank some apple juice, the rest of the breakfast passed by silence.

"I will go to the university after I get ready now, does anyone here need anything from outside?" I asked.
"No sweaty we just need to see you fine and wish for you the peace, you can take the key from here" my father said then pointed to the key that landed over the table.
"Thanks Dad" I smiled and took the key then went to my bedroom.

I grabbed a sleeveless white shirt and blue skinny jeans, curled my hair, applied some makeup and wore a high heeled shoe.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad" I said then took my bag and left.

The street was serene, I looked at the area beside my house which had some flowers and remembered when I was playing here with my childhood friends...

Flashback...

It was summer, kids were everywhere playing and having fun.

"Candice look at this area, it's really nice for playing. Oh look at those lovely flowers I love them" My friend Luna said, she was blonde, she had baby blue eyes, she was shorter than me by some inches, she was exactly that same age as mine, both of us were five....

"I am coming" I said then came toward her.
"Let's sit here it's so nice place, this flower smells nice" Luna chuckled.
"Wow this area really looks nice, but don't cut the flowers they are so nice" I said, smiling at the lovely area.
"Why? I want to save some for my mother" she said.
"Only one then" I said.
"What are you doing here both of you?" Victoria came and asked us.
"This place is so nice can't you see? Come, we can play here and call this area ours" I said then grabbed her hands.

We sat beside the flowers, played hide and seek and other games then sat again.

"Why don't we cut some flowers?" Victoria suggested.
"No way we are going to kill them Victoria, we will be killers" I said hoping that she won't cut them.
"C'mon they will grow again Candice" she said then looked at me.
"But we don't need to cut them, they will be dead then we will throw them" I said.
"Both of you stop, let's go and play another game but first, don't be sad from each other" Luna said.
"I am not sad from you Victoria" I smiled then hugged her.
"Me too candice" she said.

End of flashback...

Billions of years seemed to pass after that, we were small innocent friends, none of us seemed to imagine we will be like that when we grow up.
