Going My Way (A Chandler Riggs Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

"Mom, how long before we get there?"  "About a half hour, sweetie" Finally. Just 30 minutes till we get to my hometown, Atlanta, Georgia. Hi, my name is Ava and I'm 14 years old. When I was 11, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island because of my dad's work. I left all my friends in Georgia that I had known forever and I especially had to leave my best friend, Chandler. I was devastated for the longest time because he was the only one who understood me, and I had to leave him. But now, I'm going back to Atlanta and I'm excited. I haven't told him I'm coming yet. I text Chandler, "Heheheh -Ava"  "What do you keep laughing about???!! D: -Chandler"

"You'll see in a half hour ;) -Ava" "Ugghh -Chandler" Hahah I love messing around with him! I look up from my phone and see that we were coming up at the border. I roll window down and stick my head out the window. Once we cross the border, I yell "WOOOO! I'M HOME!!!" I feel the cool breeze on my face and the wind blowing through my hair. My sister, Olivia, pull me by the shirt to come back into the car. "You're gonna get us in trouble!" She said. My sister is 10 years old and is a goody goody, she never wants to get in trouble. I have an older sister named Payton, she's 16. So I'm the middle child.

We were heading to Chandler's house, I was kind of nervous. I haven't seen him in 4 years and obviously he must have changed. He was a successful actor on The Walking Dead. I just hope he would be the same by how we treated each other. We passed by a little convenience store, the same store Chandler and I used to walk to every Friday and get treats for our movie night. We were close near his house. My stomach started to tighten up. I started to day dream of all the memories we had and then we arrived at his house. I sent him a text "Here(; -Ava" "What??-Chandler" I got out of the car, I walked up the driveway, ran up the steps, and rang the doorbell. I was twirling my fingers and bouncing up and down. I heard the door and I looked up. I saw Chandler's face and I froze.

As soon as Chandler opened the door, I froze for a couple seconds. "Ava?!" He said. I put on the biggest smile and jumped into his arms. We were both laughing, "Oh my gosh Chandler, I've missed you so much!" I said. "Ava, I can't just say that I missed you too, it's like.. more than that. I can't explain how I've missed you so much." He said. My parents dropped me off to his house because they had to get to the house to settle in. We start putting our stuff in tomorrow. "Cmon," he said while pulling my arm into the house, "Let's go in the house" "Oh I'm surprised "Carl" wants to go in the house for once." I winked at him. "Psshh." He answered back. As we were walking past the rooms, I saw Chandler's mom. "Hi Gina!" I said. "Hi honey! Your mom told me you were coming!" she smiled. Chandler paused, "Wait mom, you knew about this??" "Of course I did." She answered back. "Wow." He said "This is interesting." I laughed and playfully punched his arm "Cmon, let's go." Our main place was his basement, we had a movie nights down there, our little parties, and just to hang out. We headed down stairs and I there myself on the leather couch. I was so tired from what seemed like the longest ride of my life, that I felt like I was going to knock out. Chandler sat down next to me, "Feels good to be home?" "Hell yeah" I answered. He chuckled under his breath. "Hey since it's.Friday you should stay over, you know cause of our movie nights!" He said. "Yeah, I'm already staying over haha." I replied. "You guys really got me good this time." He said staring at me. "Yeah" I said while putting my head on his shoulder, "We did didn't we?" "We should go walk to the store to get some treats for tonight." He said. "Yeah sure. Let me just get my stuff." I replied. We headed up the stairs. I put my converse shoes on, and my jacket. I got my phone and my purse as well. As soon as he was ready too, we headed out the door and started to walk.

Chapter 3

As we headed up the street, we started to talk. "So how have you been? All we basically did was text and FaceTime." He said to me. "It's been alright, I missed this place a lot though." I said while looking around. "Yeah I can tell." He said while smirking. I took my phone out of my pocket and put Pandora on. Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac came on. I grabbed Chandler's hand and made him skip with me along the sidewalk. I missed Chandler so much, I just started to realize that I had feelings for him. I always thought he was cute and I always liked him a little, but now it's different. I wondered how he felt for me? He probably doesn't feel the same, but whatever. I guess I can live with that.
