TWENTY-TWO

- HALA'S POINT OF VIEW -

"Danielle?" I couldn't believe it. My best friend. The girl I've known for years, the one I'd tell all my secrets too. The girl who was practically my sister, betrayed me. She tried to kill me. My own best friend. Tears began to form in my eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screamed in anger. Danielle jumped back in surprised, then glared at me.

"What?" She innocently asked.

I clenched my fist. "You know exactly what! You're on the freakin' A team! You're my best friend and YOU betrayed me!"

"That doesn't mean anything to me! You always get what you want; the boys, the clothes, everything! You got Sean and I lost Nathan. I was fed up with you getting everything!"

"What are you talking about? I don't get everything! I don't get any boys, and the clothes? I just like to shop Danielle. And you didn't lose Nathan! You can still keep in touch with him, even meet up with him."

She sighed in frustration. "You don't ge-"

I cut her off. "Oh I get it! You were so angry at me for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that you tried to kill me."

She froze, confusion washing over her face. "W-what? I never tried to kill you. What are you talking about?"

This time confusion washed over my face. "You tried to strangle me..."

"What! No I didn't! All I had done was sent you some of those text, and kidnap you..."

I glared at her. "Well if you didn't then who did?! Aren't you aware that Katrina is trying to kill me!"

She had a shocked expression written on her face. "No! I NEVER KNEW THAT! All she told me was that she was just trying to scare you so you could leave Sean! Hala I had no idea, I'm so so sorry!" I was completely in shock. I stared at her. Even though I was extremely pissed off at her, I had the need to forgive her. She didn't know.

"Is there more people?" I asked.

"More people what? She asked.

"Part of this A team?"

She was silent for a moment but finally answered. "Yes. But I don't know who though, some guy." Sean then stepped forward.

"What's his name?" He asked. Danielle thought for a moment.

"Chris." She finally said. Sean and I both looked at each other and shrugged. We didn't know a Chris. I sighed as all three of us went quiet. But suddenly heard some sort of beeping noise.

"Do you hear that?" I asked.

"Hear what?" Sean asked. I held my hand up.

"Listen." All of us went quiet again. Listening closely, the beeping noise began to get faster. All of us turned our heads towards the car.

"RUN!" Sean screamed, but it was too late. The car exploded and I was too close.

- SEAN'S POINT OF VIEW -

"RUN!" I screamed, running away from the car. But it was too late, the explosion was so big, I flew up into the air, along with Hala and Danielle. I landed right into the grass, Danielle landed on the other side of the drive way in the grass and as for Hala, she had landed on the pavement. Smashing her head in the process.

"HALA!" I screamed, struggling to get up because of the pain. Danielle was knocked out. I quickly limped over to her, holding my arm in pain. I dropped down to my knees right next to her. A few scratches covered her face and her left arm was burnt a little. As for her head, it began to bleed.

"Hala, please wake up." I tilted her head up with my hand, and felt the warm blood from underneath.

"SHIT!" I screamed when I saw blood trickle down from underneath her nose. I scrambled to get my phone. Once I got it I quickly dialed 911, tears were streaming down my face like a waterfall. Danielle began to wake up.

"DANIELLE!" I shouted, once I finished on the phone. "DANIELLE, HELP!" She was finally aware what was happening. Jumping to her feet, she ran towards us.

"What happened?!" She asked, panicking.

"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?!" I yelled.

"No! I mean, don't you see what just happened there! This was all planned out! We both landed in the grass so we didn't get hurt, but they made sure Hala would land on the pavement!" I began to shake, getting angrier by the second. I looked back down at her.

"Please, please please." I begged. Suddenly I heard the ambulance in the distance along with the police and firemen. Danielle stood up and began waving them over. Once they arrived they ran out, picking Hala up and placing her onto the stretcher. I followed them towards the ambulance but one of them stopped me.

"Sorry sir, you cannot get on, only family members."

"Does it look like any family members are here?!?!" I asked angrily. "Please, would you just please let me come, I'm her boyfriend and I need to be with her! I need to know if she's okay!"

The man sighed. "Fine." He walked back towards the ambulance. I smiled and hopped into the vehicle. I turned around and faced Danielle.

"I'll meet you there." She said, before getting into her car, which was parked in the driveway across from Katrina's. I nodded towards her and then the doors of the truck were closed. I sat next to Hala and took her hand in mine. I leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

"You're going to be okay, you'll be alright." I whispered as a single tear dropped from my eyes.

She's gonna be okay. She's gonna be okay.
