Chasing Fate

Chapter 17: The Girl With Candy.

[Joey's POV]

I arrived at the pier. I sat on the bench. I wondered if someone noticed me, how they would react. After all that had happened today, I didn't care.

I stood up and walked to a little shop. It read, "Heather's Hard Candy!." I walked in.

Heather: Hello there! Welcome to Heather's Hard Candy!

A girl greeted me. She looked to he around fifteen.

Joey: Hello!

Heather: What ca- wait. I know you...

I was scared. My heart was pouncing.

Heather: Your, THE Joey Graceffa!

My heart started to pace itself.

Joey: Yeah! Haha. It's me!

Heather: I don't even know what to say, except, thanks for coming!

She ran to me and gave me a hug.

Joey: Do you, own this shop?

Heather: No, my parents are out getting some supplies.

Joey: Oh, They named it after you?

Heather: Yeah. they want me to take over when there to old. So, did you want something?

Joey: I don't know haha. I guess I'm in the mood for candy.

I reached into my pocket. My heart stopped, they were all empty.

Joey: Shit-zu.

Heather: Something wrong?

Craig had taken all the things out of my pockets.

Joey: I, I lost my wallet.

More like, I was robbed.

She smiled and walked away. I was confused. She came back with a little bag.

Heather: On the house.

I opened it. It was filled with candy! Gobstoppers, Skittles, Taffy.

Joey: Shoot Girl. I'm going to be fattyanya! Thanks.

I went up to her and gave her a hug.

Heather: Anything for you. Thanks for coming.

I could see tears streaming down her face.

She was so nice. I had to give her something in return.

Joey: Here.

I grabbed a napkin. I signed it and handed it to her.

Joey: that's the best I can do.

Heather: it's ok. Thanks. It means a lot.

I walked out of the shop. I walked back to the bench.

Joey: Sawyer, where in the world are you.

I was tired, and nobody seemed to recognize me, so I took a nap on the bench.

I woke up, my face was drenched in goo.

Joey: wha, what?

Hitch: Yarp Yarp Yarp Yarp!

Joey: Hitch!

I grabbed the rascal. I gave him kisses, and talked down to him.

Joey: Aw Hitch.

Hitch: Yarp Yarp Yarp!

I didn't know what hitch was barking about. Then.

Joey: Sawyer.

Hitch jumped to the ground and ran, I followed.
