CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

HALA'S P.O.V

"You're okay!!" Danielle exclaimed as she jumped up and pulled me into a tight hug. I was in just too much shock to even answer.

"H-how are you here?" I asked. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be happier that she was alive, I was just confused. I mean, how is this possible, I swore she died.

She pulled back and sighed. "Katrina tried to kill me basically. I was so close to dying but thankfully, Sean came just in time."

I stared at her, waiting for her to  continue.

"And I thought if I just make everyone think I'm dead, the bitch will think it as well. Which means, she wouldn't try anything on me."

I sighed and pulled her back into a hug. "I'm so glad you're alive." I felt tears begin to stream down my face, tears of joy.

"I'M so glad that you're okay!" She said. "I thought that explosion killed you!"

I shrugged. "Well it didn't." We both chuckled.

"Ahem." Chris said, feeling awkward at the situation. We both pulled away, but as soon as Danielle made eye contact with him, she gave him a monstrous glare.

"You." She growled. Realization crossed his face and he stepped back, letting out a nervous laugh. I stared at the both of them, confusingly.

"I'm going to god damn kill you!" She yelled as she marched towards Chris. I stood in front of him and held my hands up.

"What's wrong?" I asked, Danielle ignored me and ran towards Chris angrily. But before she could attack him, I caught her in my arms and held her back. She trashed around and screamed.

"I'M GONNA FREAKIN' MURDER YOU!!!"

I looked over at Chris and raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?" He stayed quiet, and I could tell he was afraid to say something. I pushed Danielle back.

"Dani, STOP!" She calmed down and glared back at Chris. She ran her hand threw her hair and sighed.

I stood in between them. "Can someone please tell me, what the hell happened?"

Danielle smirked. "You really want to know?" 

Chris stepped forward. "Danielle, please. I'm really sorry about what I did, this happened a long time ago."

She laughed loudly. "Sorry? You expect me to forgive you?" 

"No, but please-" She cut him off.

"What? You don't want Hala to find out?"

Now I was suddenly interested. "Find out what?" 

Danielle crossed her arms. "Pretty boy here was the one who tried to kill me." 

My eyes grew big and I looked over at Chris in shock. "You were the one that hung her?!" 

He looked down in shame and slowly nodded. "I'm sorry." He mumbled. I clenched my fist and stepped towards him.

"Chris?" He looked up at me and when he did, I lifted my fist and punched him directly in the jaw. He stumbled back.

"Hala, I'm so sorry." He stepped towards me but I held up my hand, signalling him to stop.

"Don't." I felt tears beginning to form.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

He stayed quiet and once again looked down.
