Always Been Her

Shade

Today was the day of the flash cast interview. Each cast members got up early, dressed up and made their way to the interview place, they all reached by their own personal drivers. They all met in a waiting room and said their hellos. Grant quickly rushed to Candice and hugged her tight, "I missed you the whole night Candice", Candice smiled, "Please Grant it was only a night". Grant looked at her and said "and i still missed you", Danielle quickly came up "Hey guys, how are you guys feeling?", Grant looked at her a bit mad for ruining his small moment with Candice, "We're good". Danielle smiled, hugged Candice and said, "How about you Candice?", Candice smiled and said "Like Grant said, we're good, thanks". Danielle smiled, "Well see you guys at the interview, bye", and she walked over to Andrew. Candice glanced at them and then quickly turned away.  Grant looked at Candice who was looking scared and nervous. Worried he asked her, "Hey, are you okay?", Candice quickly said, "Yeah, I'm fine, come on let's go wait with the others.". Grant knew something must be up, but he followed her to wait with the rest anyways. 

It was time for the interview. The whole cast was there and everything was going smoothly and really well. They were all having so much fun, answering questions about their characters and explaining things, etc. Until one question popped up, It was about the so called ship called "SnowBarry". "So Danielle, what do you think about the fans who are rooting for Barry and Caitlin, or also known as 'snowbarry' ?", The interviewer asked. Candice instantly froze and felt her heart racing, in a really bad way. The ship 'snowbarry' has become a really hard subject for her. She didn't mind people shipping others that isn't Barry and Iris though, it's just the the 'snowbarry' fandom has been sending her death threats and racial slurs to her all the time. She is aware that the cast knows about all the hate she receives from the 'snowbarry' shippers. Most of the cast talk to her about it though, others just don't care, Danielle and Andrew are the others of course. Danielle smiled so big and answered, "I think it's pretty cool and cute, I'm new to this whole shipping though, but I can see Barry and Caitlin maybe having something more in the future because they both have such a good friendship and relationship with each other. I'm really anxious though, of what could happen to their relationship if it did exceeded into something more, but I'm really excited to see how it goes with their relationship anyways.". Candice froze and Carlos and Grant glanced over at her and knew she was uncomfortable. Candice finally felt bold and finally said "Um excuse me sis, are you still stuck in season 1, do you need me to help pull you out? Did you miss the pilot episode when Barry said he has a crush on Iris?", but she said that in her head so no one else heard it but her. The interviewer continued, "That's great, I'm pretty sure the fans would love to see how it goes too, and are you aware of any more ships?". Danielle smiled, "I am yes, there's..." and Danielle named all of the ships from the Flash and some from the arrowverse she could think of. However, nothing about 'WestAllen' or 'Barry and Iris' was mentioned once at all. That was not all though, when asked about other questions that Iris was involved in, she didn't mention Iris, not twice and definitely not once at all. Candice felt so weird, sad, mad and confused the rest of the interview. She just wanted to go back to her apartment and sleep to forget reality and how she wasn't welcomed by some people. Candice was just sad, sad about the fact that Grant didn't say anything to Candice's defense on what Danielle said. She didn't really mind about the others, but she did mind especially about Grant, she minded alot. In fact, they are boyfriend and girlfriend now right?

The terrible interview was finally over and Candice quickly left the room and went to the bathroom. She let out a good and silent cry. She didn't know why she was so hurt. She didn't know why she was so hurt over the fact that Danielle did not acknowledge Candice/Iris once. She didn't know why Danielle was being lowkey shady to her, they weren't even close friends, they weren't even friends, they were just co-workers. Grant on the other hand, hurted Candice without even knowing. She didn't know why she was so hurt. She didn't know why she was so hurt over the fact that Grant did not defend her at all. They only started dating and becoming official but Candice was the type who expected a little too much from love. She continued crying on the toilet seat, letting out all the sadness she was keeping in for a very long time...
