"It was the cause of my death, it will be the cause of her death and now, It will be the cause of your death."
A wedding is a great time for everyone, especially for the two beautiful souls and their loved ones. Sofia Bell can't wait for her cou...
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Jason asked me uncertainly, as we rang the doorbell for the fifth time.
I frowned, "I've been here before." I said. Was nobody home? Or did they change houses?
I was about to ring the doorbell again when the door opened and Chloe stood in the doorway. She flashed me a bright smile as she said, "Hi Sofia, sorry you had to stand here for so long. I was in the shower."
"No problem, uh," I said, "Can we come in?"
Chloe stepped to the side and we entered the house.
"Is Hannah home?" Jason asked. Chloe nodded and went upstairs.
"Chances she'll be mad at me?" I said quietly.
"One thousand?" Jason joked and I gasped.
"Jason!"
"Okay sorry, I think it's fifty fifty?"
I hoped so.
On hearing footsteps, I looked up to see Hannah coming downstairs. She sat in front of me,
"Hi," she said, "How are you?"
"I'm good." I answered.
I cleared my throat, "Uh, Hannah?" I said hesitantly.
Hannah smiled, "Yes Sofia?"
"I am so sorry; I accused you even though it was Vivian all along. I feel so bad," I began earnestly. "I caused troubles for you. I truly apologize for what I did,"
Hannah shook her head as she held both my hands in hers, "Hey Fia, it's fine." She said.
I stared at her, "No it's not,"
"Yes it is," she said.
"Thanks," I said and she took a deep breath,
"I'll tell you why I had those items. The wig; in my school, There was a play and I was required for the princess's role. I had to wear a black gown since the princess was in grief, but my blonde hair didn't suit on the dress, it made me look like an old woman. So I brought a wig that suited with it."
I waited for what was coming next.
She went on, "We had to cut up the cardboard but the scissor went missing at the eleventh hour. So I took a pocket knife to School. And I woke up late on that day so I grabbed the peach purse in a hurry."
Hannah laughed a bit, "And I know you're going to ask that when you saw Rhea dead and were walking back, you saw me enter. Well I went upstairs because during lights out, my hands crashed with the waiter who was bringing the wedding cake and my hands were covered with frosting. I went upstairs before Rhea screamed. I had no idea that Rhea was dead."
"And the chains?" I asked,
"I saw this tutorial on YouTube that showed how to make a DIY Chandelier using chains. I love arts and crafts but sadly I didn't have chains. When Brandon, your boyfriend's best friend, asked me out to your school's winter ball; I asked him if he had chains. He said that your best friend, Elena had them since she had brought them to school some months back." Hannah took a deep breath, "So I went to Elena's home. She was super nice and said that I could borrow the chains for some weeks."
I nodded in realization, "Hannah! You should've told me this earlier, but it was my fault. My mind was engrossed in Rhea so I didn't pay attention to the other things around me." I said, and Hannah smiled,
"Well, what's done is done." She said. "Now we have to pay attention to the present,"
"Well said," I agreed.
"And I know, Rhea is dead," She said, not meeting my gaze. "But we have to move on, don't we?"
"I know," I said softly as Jason took my hand in his. I looked at him and smiled.
"And as for us, we're friends forever." She said and we hugged.
That was all that mattered that time.
