Candie felt like complete shit. She should just let him leave. She'd fucked shit up too much to be fixed and she knew finding him would only result in a nasty fight but she couldn't let him walk away. She loved him too much to lose him. If she lost him, she'd fall apart completely because she hated who she'd been before him. She couldn't go back to being that girl. The school slut who let everyone use her so much she had no self-worth whatsoever.
He didn't answer her and she knew he was ignoring her but Candie followed anyway, walking quickly through the forest back towards the car they'd taken, knowing he had to go there eventually if he wasn't already. She found him there, about to leave and walked quickly up behind him, spinning him to face her. "Don't leave me Reed, please." She begged, eyes on his.
Candie leaned up on her toes and kissed his lips. "I need you, please." She breathed against them, knowing he was pissed and he was bound to start screaming at her any second, saying things that would piss her off and make her fight back, but she didn't care. Even if they were fighting, at least he was with her and she didn't have to be afraid that she'd just lost him for good. "I'm trying Reed. I'm not used to relationships, love, and trust." She mumbled, knowing it was a weak excuse for fucking his best friend again but it was the only one she had.
Donnie could tell just by looking at her he'd pissed her off and sighed, frustrated, knowing she was going to take Colin's side. “Fuck you.” She spat and shoved him, causing him to take a step back, rolling his eyes. “Don’t act like you know what happened that night because you weren’t even there.” She shrugged and his jaw clenched.
The details were irrelevant. The fact was, he'd put her in the hospital. Not to mention all the other shit he'd done to her over the years, like when he'd picked her up from the police station and she told him Colin had shot her up and nearly made her O.D. “You found out from my brother. So don’t throw that back in his face and don’t bring it up again.” She glared at him.
“You’d put her in the hospital to. Don’t act like your so much better than me Dontae.” He spat and Donnie just scoffed. “You saw what he did to me, don’t think for one second if his temper got out of hand, he would take it out on you babe.” Collin breathed and Donnie raised his eyebrows.
"How the fuck did I become the bad guy?" He spat, glaring at Tansy. "Whatever Tans, you and I both know I'm better than him. I've been taking care of you, cleaning up the mess he's made of you for years now." He hissed, eyes flicking to Colin. "But if you still want him, I'm tired of this shit, do what you want, you know you'll only feel like shit once the high wears off." He shrugged and turned, walking away from them, tired of having to fight for her love when he was the one who treated her like she mattered.
