Always Been Her

Savage

"So Danielle, where's Candice?", the interviewer standing with a videographer asked Danielle at the front of the place where the cast dinner is being held at. Danielle had a sly smirk on her face, "We don't know exactly where Candice Patton is to be honest, however she told me she didn't want to come.". The interviewer heard lots of loud fans screaming, cameras clicking, interviewers and reporters saying Candice's name, so the interviewer turned and look, "Oh there she is, she's definitely turning heads tonight and impressing everyone!". Danielle felt so much jealousy and rage inside of her, she felt her face burning red. Candice was wearing a short, silky, sparkly dress that was silver. She looked extremely stunning, as always. Candice overheard what Danielle said and she walked up and said, "Oh hey Danielle, making things up again?", she turned to the interviewer, "Don't worry she's always joking around, what Danielle was meaning to say was, I didn't want to come looking like what I wore earlier at our cast interview, so I decided to be fashionably late." Candice turned to Danielle and gave her a fake smile, Danielle gave her a fake smile back and laughed fakely, "I was going to say that but the people screaming for you didn't let me finish.". The interviewer laughed, "Well look at Candice, I'm surprised at myself for not screaming at her beautiful presence, but you look stunning tonight Candice, you look great too Danielle, you ladies always do.". Candice smiled, "aw thank you so much", Danilled thanked the interviewer too, "Yeah thank you so much" she said nicely. The interviewer then said, "Well have fun at the dinner ladies", Candice smiled, linked her arms with Danielle's then said, "Oh we most certainly will, thank you, come on Danielle lets go.", and they both walked inside to go meet the others at the cast dinner. While they were walking with fake smiles on their faces so people won't be suspicious, Danielle said to Candice, "I know what you're doing Candice, you can't fool me, or anyone for that matter.". Candice then asked, "and what could that be Danielle?". Danielle answered, "Being fake, that's what you're doing.", Candice laughed, "Oh Danielle, I'm just doing what you're always doing." and she unlinked her arm with Danielle's and walked away. 

Grant found Candice talking and socialising with other cast members. "Hey Candice, can we talk?", Candice looked at him, "Yeah sure", she turned to the people she was talking to and said, "I'll talk to you guys later.", she gave them her famous beautiful smile and went to Grant. "Yeah Grant what do you need?", Candice said quickly, she wanted to get their conversation over with. "Can we talk?", Grant asked Candice, "Well that's what we're doing right now, aren't we Grant?", Candice said in a smart tone. Grant felt hurt and he didn't know why, "Why haven't you been answering my calls Candice? or even my texts? and why did you ignore me earlier today?", Candice felt like she was about to cry again, "Can we talk about this later?". Grant wanted to talk about whatever was bothering Candice right now, "No Candice, what's wrong? and please stop ignoring me. Getting ignored by you literally makes my heart sink to the ground.". Candice felt like she was about to burst into tears, "Stop pretending like you really care about me Grant,  I gotta go, we can talk later, just not now.", she immediately left Grant and quickly walked to Keiynan. 

Keiynan and Candice were now in an empty storage room and Candice was telling Keiynan everything. Starting from her asking Grant on a date to the cast interview and the bathroom talk she had with Danielle. She opened up to Keiynan and told him everything, he is her best friend after all. Caity and Keiynan were the two people she trusted the most and the two people who was always there to lift her up. Keiynan said, "I agree with Caity, just give Grant another chance, at least try to, and if he takes it for granted, he doesn't deserve you, at all. And don't worry too much about Danielle and Andrew. Their irrelevant to you, don't focus on them, focus on yourself and your career. You've gotten this far Candice, don't stop now, you're just getting started sis.". Candice started crying, a happy cry of course. "I'm so lucky to have friends like you and Caity, gosh I love y'all so freaking much.". Keiynan smiled and hugged her, "We both feel the same way too.". Candice felt brave, she felt like a savage, "Come on, let's get out of here and slay this cast dinner.". Keiynan chuckled, "Ay that's the spirit sis, let's go!". They both got out of the storage room and to the dinner table where the cast dinner took place. Candice felt so light, so free. She was not thinking about Danielle, Andrew or even Grant. She was focusing on making herself a better person and being the best she could be. The whole time during the dinner, Candice could feel Danielle and Andrew whispering and eyeballing her, but she ignored those two. Grant was also staring helplessly at Candice too, but she also ignored him. The dinner finally ended, it was actually amazing and so fun to Candice's surprise, and she had lots of fun with her cast mates.  Everyone finally said their goodbyes, 'The Flash' was going on hiatus for two weeks. The last person Candice said her goodbye to was Grant. He hugged her tight and whispered in her ears, "I'm really going to miss you so much and I wish I could kiss you right now.". Candice smiled, "Goodbye Grant, have a nice break.", and she went straight to her car and back to her apartment.
