Getting Chances (Chandler Riggs Fanfic)

Epilogue

It's been a year and 2 months since I left Georgia to go back to Indiana with Sara.

It's been a year since me and Chandler broke up. 6 months since I last had contact with Brett. 4 months since I last talked to Sam. 3 months since i last saw Cassie. And 2 months since Chandler and I last talked, which even before that wasn't much. The breakup wasn't as hard on me as I thought it would've been, but looking back at it now, I realize a long distance relationship wasn't going to last, and I was already out of emotion to show when it happened. I follow some of those "Chandler Riggs fanpages" on Instagram. I guess he's dating Hana now. He'd mentioned her to me a couple times when I was in Georgia, but it was never much, just that they'd had fun on the set of Mercy. To my surprise, the person I've kept most in touch with is Rachel. I never knew how much we had in common, we are really close, despite the distance between us. We'll FaceTime and call each other when we want to talk to each other. She's moved on too, his name is Dylan. The way I see it, he's good for her and she's happy, and I couldn't be any happier. As for me? Well... I'm going back to my old school, with Maya, Danny, and jake but I found that when I got home, the group had drifted to different groups. Danny is with her soccer and modeling friends a lot more now, Maya is in the drama club and Jake has the track team to be friends with. I still talk to the 3 of them but we aren't close anymore.. At least me and the girls aren't. Jake has been so supportive of me since I've been home, everything with my dad, and Sara and school... He's even listened to me about Chandler. There wasn't much crying over him, a few tears here and there but the tears weren't from the break up, they were from being so far from away and not having his presence.

The distance has been the hardest. The distance from me and my dad's grave, the distance between me and my old friends, neighbors, school friends, Chandler.. I hate that I have to travel a 10 hour drive just to see my dad. Just to visit him... And when we do, I usually avoid the old neighborhood just because I don't want awkward run-ins with the people that were such a big part of my life last year that are now just... Not in it anymore. As far as I know, Rachel and Chandler don't talk much anymore either, which is sad too... They dated for a year. Rachel told me the other day that she's glad chandler is happy with Hana, and trust me, I am too... But all the pictures I've seen of him... He's no longer smiling. Just smirking. From what I can tell, he's not as talkative with fans at conventions now.

Sara is with a guy now, he kind of reminds me of Mr.Benter back at Etowah. It's crazy how you can move 10 hours away and things can still remind me of a place every second I'm here.

Right now, it's summer and me and Sara have gone to Georgia to visit my dad.

"I'm going to go to the restroom really quick, you can go head on to your dad if you want." Sara says, walking inside if the funeral home. The cemetery he's at is really nice, the people take care of it here. As I navigate my way through the graves, I find my dads, but there is someone there. I walk closer to the person.

"Excuse me." I call, and they turn around, I can't believe I hadn't recognized him.

"Chandler?" I mumble. He's not sure what to do, I can tell. He smiles at me and shifts his weight slightly. I can now see the fresh thing of flowers he'd set down.

"Payson..." He says.

"Hey." I say and it takes everything in me not to break down right in front of him and cry right there.

"You didn't have to do that." I motion towards the flowers.

"I bring them every month." He says and shrugs.

Oh... I always saw the flowers, I just thought the workers had set them there.

"Thank you." I say hesitantly.

"You look good." He says and smiles at me, a genuine smile and it makes the elephants in my stomach run wild, the way they once did when I was with him.

"Thanks but look at you!" I motion to his dirt and blood covered face, and I laugh.

"I just got off set!" He defends in a joking way.

"I know." I laugh. Chandlers eyes flicker to a car down the road and by the parking lot of the funeral home.

"I have to go... Hana is here and her mom drove me..." He says and all at once I feel nothing, just an emptiness.

"Yeah of course. Yeah.. Thanks.. For the flowers." I say to him. He nods and is about to walk away, when he stops and picks up a flower from the bunch he'd put down. He steps close to me, but stops about 7 inches away. He hands me the flower to me, leans in and kisses my forehead as if it's painful for him to pull away, and then walks away.

"Bye Pay." I hear him say.

The flower he gave to me is a pink Carnation. I find out later what the flower means.

"I won't forget you."

End of Getting Chances.

(OMG I'm crying all over again. Lol so in case you guys don't really understand the flowers meaning, "I won't forget you" is what Chandler said to her the first day they had met when they took the pictures.

GAHHH. Is it okay to fangirl over my own writing? I don't even care, I'll fangirl anyway.

I can't believe this is the end like... It's just over.

I want to thank all of you guys that are reading because I wouldn't be writing this without all of you guys.

I love you all and I really hope you liked the ending!)))
