CHAPTER THIRTY

HALA'S P.O.V

In the morning, I had gotten up to take a shower while Sean went for a run. It was 9 in the morning and as you can tell, Chris was still fast asleep. I got out of the shower and slipped on some light blue skinny jeans and a black tank top that had 'PARADISE' printed on the front of it. I moved over to the curtains and pushed them open but as soon as I got a view of the window, I jumped back in shock.

"NOSEY BITCHES DIE." It read in big red letters. I wasn't even sure if it was blood or not. But I didn't feel scared like I always used to. In fact, I felt angry. I walked out of the room and barged into Chris' room. Seeing that he was still asleep, I moved over towards him and roughly shoved him off the bed. He screamed as soon as he came in contact with the floor.

"What the hell?!" He shouted, sitting up and glaring at me.

"What is wrong with you?"

He looked taken back. "What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you?!"

I furiously walked over to him and grabbed him by the ear, pulling him out of his room and into mine. I threw him in front of the window and crossed my arms.

"Care to explain what this is? This isn't funny Chris, I thought you were on our side!"

He turned around and faced me, anger filling in his eyes. "You can't be serious. Do you actually think I did that? Hala, when are you gonna get this in your thick skull, I am on your side!"

I held my head in frustration. "You have got to be kidding me!"

Chris furrowed his eyebrows. "What?"

"Do you know what this means? It means that Katrina or whoever "A" is, knows that we're here in New York!" Chris opened his mouth to answer but quickly shut it when he heard the door open.

"I'm back!" I heard what sounded like Sean call out. I looked at Chris with wide eyes, quickly pushing him over to the window.

"Clean that off and pretend nothing happened! And whatever you do, do not tell him." I quickly whispered, before dashing out of the room and closing the door behind me. The last thing I wanted was to have Sean find out about that. He would most likely drug me to sleep then next thing I know, I'm waking up on a plane that's flying back to L.A. Okay maybe I am over exaggerating but still, you never know.

"Hey Se-" I stopped, realizing this was definitely not Sean. A man that looked a couple years older than me with black hair and blue eyes stood by the door. He grinned and took a step towards me.

"Hey, you must be....Hala?" He greeted, walking closer to me.

I scratched the back of my head. "Uh yeah, but who are you?" He smiled.

"I'm Brian."

I nodded. "Uh Chr-" I got cut off by him slapping his hand over my mouth and shoving me against the wall. He suddenly pulled out some type of needle but before he could inject it into me, I kneed him where the sun don't shine, causing me to hunch over in pain. I kicked him in the ribs and he fell onto the ground.

"CHRIS!" I shouted. Brian got right back up and launched himself at me but before he could even touch me, Chris came out of no where and grabbed him by the collar, shoving him up against the wall.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Brian didn't answer so Chris moved his hands up to his neck and wrapped his fingers around it. Brian choked out for breath as Chris began to squeeze his neck.

"Let's try this again, shall we? Who are you?" He asked once again.

"Do it." Brian said. "Go ahead. Kill me."

I stepped forward. "How did you even get in?"

He pulled out a pair of keys from his pockets and swung it around before tossing it at my feet. "Oh you know, I borrowed it....from Sean." I tensed when he mentions Sean.

"What are you talking about?" He smirked and didn't answer. Chris choked him even more as he began to squirm.

"Fine." Brian said. "I'm done playing nice." He suddenly pulled out the same needle and stabbed Chris in the neck, injecting the serum into him. Chris' grip around Brian's neck loosened which gave him time to escape. I ran towards them, but before I could do anything, Brian pushed Chris onto the floor and pointed up a gun towards me.

"I suggest you don't move darling." He said as he stepped further and further back and just like that, he was out the door. I ran over to Chris and dropped onto my knees right next to him.

"Chris? Come on, wake up." I said as I cupped his face in my hands.

"Chris!" I yelled, beginning to pat his cheek.

"You can't be dead..no you can't. YOU JUST CAN'T." I felt tears beginning to form. I took a deep breath and grabbed the empty needle that fell next to him and read the label. Grabbing my phone, I searched up the name and relief washed over me. It was just a sleeping drug, he would be awake within the hour. I smiled and leaned down, kissing his forehead softly. I stood up and picked up a pillow, slipping it underneath his head and wrote a note saying that I was going to look for Sean and to call me when he woke up. I placed it next to him and grabbed my phone and keys.

I walked out the door and started to run as fast as I could. I'm coming to find you Sean, whatever it takes, I'm coming.
