"What?" I said and stood up "How.." he said and i shook my head. "Get out of my room" I said and he walked toward me before looking into my eyes again "I know its you I can see it in youre eyes" he said and a tear ran down my face.

"Matt please" I said and he grabbed me and hugged me tightly and I hugged him back. knowing he wouldn't let me go this time "I couldn't tell you how. I just need you right now okay I need this" I cried and he nodded

"You're alive" he smiled and i nodded smiling back at him. "To be honest with you i don't even think i was ever dead. I cant explain it. I don't even know where to start" I rambled and e nodded "You dont have to explain it you're here right now" he said and rested my head on his shoulder. "Im sorry about what happened the last time we saw each other I didn't mean any of it" I explained and he rubbed my back "Its okay we don't have to talk about it right now" he said and i shook my head "We do Matthew I love you okay I always have and I drove myself crazy for a month from the thought of what happened not being real and I just wanted to be back with you" I said and he nodded "I love you too Chris" he said and I wiped my eyes off "Okay well I think we should tell them" he said and i nodded timidly following him down the hallway.

I trailed behind him awkwardly thinking of  what I would say to them

"I...I cant do this." I said frozen in place

"We will do it together okay? Im here with you" he said grabbing my hand and I nodded following him into the room. They were all there and they all looked at me and i felt overwhelmed from the thought of being with my family again.

"I lied to you guys and I had a good reason to do it but not good enough. I shouldve just came here and told you who I was from the get go but i didnt know how. I didnt know if the past even happened and you can be as mad at me as you want but i just want you to know that i never wanted to hurt any of you and....Im Christina and im not dead nor was I ever" I said and they stood there is shock before Taylor walked toward me and inspected my face. And then he grabbed my hands and smiled.

"I always knew you were stronger than death."
