” I told Vera its boring but she likes it like that.
” ok so Miranda you can do” teens attract “for me right.
” sure who will be the male model.
” am thinking Danny , though I don’t know cos Danny has not modeled for me before
” Danny is nice the kids love him but is you are choosing Danny then the female model should be Jennifer.

” it Will reduce cost for the camping , you know they are dating right.
” yes so I won’t have too rent two suites I will just rent one.
” yes you will just have to rent one.
” wow nice idea Mira then I guess it has to be Danny and Jennifer then.
“yes totally.
Salvador k-ssed her cheek and walked out with his phone.
Miranda smiled.
” yes Danny and his ex in one room.. jennifer still loves him so she will surely try s-ducing him.
” Danny is a play boy and Celine is not giving him s-x yet so he will surely fall for Jennifer.
“He will cheat on Celine and i Will tell Celine the truth …She will finally believe what I told her in the pool about Danny.
“Danny and celine will break up and since Danny can’t go back to his ex I will use that opportunity to trap him to myself.
Awwww what a plan.
She ran back and continues her shoot…..

Celine sat with the maids when Mary rushed in.
” Celine do you see how Gretel looked when she came back, she looked so so sick.
” is she back?.
” yes she is.
Celine rushed into Gretel room there she sat on her bed crying .
” gret what’s wrong.
” Celine.
She hugged Celine and Celine held her tight.

” what happened.
” I feel so much pain…. simeon is not who I thought he was.
She gave Celine the video and Celine watched both of them.
” Gretel this is an old video , and may be he did drug in the past BUT not now ..what if he has changed .
” I don’t think its an old video.
” Gretel what did he say when you asked him
” I didn’t have time to listen to his lies
” it’s ok gret come here.
She hugged Gretel tightly .
Minutes later she returned back to the maids room. Mildred was already sitting on the bed .
Celine knew it was time she found out about Danny’s past so she sat beside Mildred .

” Mildred celine wants to know why Danny stopped singing “, mary said
” realy
” yes tell me about Clara
” emma knows the whole detail
we just know part of the story
” ok
” Clara was a star musician from a very young age she was good, she sang from her soul she met Danny they did a song together they fell in love they dated
” wow
” to Danny Clara was he’s everything she was he’s destiny, he’s future, he’s drug, he’s purpose, he’s inspiration , hes reason, hes dream, hes thoughts he loved her so much and they did everything together
” hmm
” Clara was a calm girl she never spoke much their coupling went viral it was everywhere Danny never did a single live show without clara no matter how big the crowd was if Clara was with him he could sing before any crowd without taking drugs or anything he always said clara was hes drug I loved it so much when Clara stood in front of him and he sang
” wow
” during Halloween he took a bullet for her it was a prank by Danny’s friends but Danny thought they were real criminals he took the fake bullet and this proved his love for Clara more and more they couldn’t live without each other their love was stronger than anything I ever saw
” so touching
” when they released their 4th hit song it was amazing one week to the live show of that song “my cute girlfriend ” was dannys birthday that afternoon danny drove clara to the beach so they could have some alone time while driving danny was busy pressing his phone checking his tweets and his fans as he was caught up in fame and clara warned him to watch were he drove

” omg
” but Danny was not going to listen Clara was doing a live video in the car so she kept telling Danny
Honey watch where you are going
Danny we are going to have an accident if you dont keep your phone
My love you can tweet later
Her fans who watched the live video thought it was just a prank until she shouted and the video cut
they ran into a car both of them were rushed to the hospital Clara died mostly out of shock Danny survived and retired to two years of not speaking to anyone
When Danny finally came out of that two years he was normal again or so we thought

every body was glad Mr king was hes new manager the live show of “my cute girlfriend” was hosted again and this time Danny did the song with his then girlfriend anastasia was her name it was a great live show everyone cheered he was living normal he took pictures with her they did everything together everyone was glad he moved on until one night I pushed open Danny’s door without knocking just to find him mutilating himself, he cut himself and bled out while looking at claras picture he kept cutting himself every single night
Celine got scared
” he was taken to therapy he confessed that he had done it for 8 months
The therapist later concluded that Danny believes he killed Clara so while he was busy enjoying the fame he forgot his pain and he didn’t want to forget his pain but his celebrity life was not reflecting his pain so whenever he went home he cut himself so he can feel his pain again because he believed he didnt have the right to be happy

” Jesus
” after one year he didnt mutilate himself again but whenever he went to the studio he couldn’t sing anymore, he confessed that all he saw was Claras face, singing was claras dream he felt guilty so he quit singing even when he later wanted to start he couldn’t sing anymore because singing was he’s closest memory of clara it reminded him of Clara oh my he had a Godly voice
” he still has
” but has he moved on now
” of course that was all in the past Danny is normal now
” or so we think
” but he never showed his pain
” that’s called being a celebrity even after crying and shattering glasses in,side he would Still go out, take pictures model and smile with his new girlfriend no one knews his pain even the girlfriend then didnt know danny was acting a movie with her he never liked her
” I wonder if he’s real with me or he’s faking that emotion too
” Danny loves you celine that’s all I know
” I hope so too
” you can meet Emma to hear more
” I must
Celine stood up and rushed into Emma’s room she was so eager to hear Emma sides of the story
” hey Celine.
” tell me about Clara.
” what.
” tell me
” Danny loved Clara more than he’s own life Celine they even took marriage vows in a secret garden
Emma smiled
” really
” I was her maid of honour Tony was the priest the rest of our friends where the congregation when she walked out in that white gown it all felt so real they took only one vow
Promise to love me for the rest of our lives
” wow
” they signed on their body it was a tattoo

yes Clara was he’s everything everything , his smile, his future, hes survival everything was wrapped around Clara they built one studio together they sang together they rehearsed together, danny was always a loner he didnt care about human beings till he met clara, clara was he’s first of everything his first k-ss, s-x, date, love, infact she was he’s breath
” every song they did was a hit they sang wonderfully well but after the accident everything changed
” what happened
” Danny died too
Everything he loved he dropped it he doesn’t sing anymore he doesn’t dance anymore everything they did together Danny dropped all of them because he believed Clara would be angry to watch him being happy after he killed her
” but he has moved on right
” the day Danny moves on is the day he will sing again

” he will
” Mr king was the cause of all this he forced Danny to move on he made Danny appear presentable in front of the world but he mutilated himself when no one watched Mr king taught Danny how to fake every emotion you can never know he’s true feeling Mr king made him a sociopath
He told Danny that every celebrity lived a fake life and Danny started living a normal life in the outdoors he didn’t move on for real, he didn’t let go for real, that’s why anything that reminds him of Clara kills him again
” he started dating again all the girls he dated felt true love and attention but It was never real from him it was all fake, an act, for show, how could he love when sadness is still building in his heart
” I was the only one who knew Danny because I was closer to Danny than all of our friends, of all the girls he dated jennifer was one of the only girl danny truely loved almost like clara because their relationsh¡p was a secret it was not for show so danny slowly started being real for her I traveled out when he first met jennifer, but I have never seen Danny look at any woman the way he looks at you Celine he loves you unconditionally thats y you were the only one who changed him from his ugly proud personality this means that only you can drag him out fully from his past
” I realy believe Danny moved on but he cant move on, guilt cant let him move on the believe that he killed clara is eating him up he says he moved on but he can’t stop wearing the watch she bought, he can’t stop wearing the neck chain she bought, even he’s favourite hair band came from clara , clara is all around him
” I believe Danny has moved on celine but the pain the guilt can’t go away
” I can never be jealous of the dead I swear Emma Danny must sing again I will make sure to remove every memory of clara from him even if it’s the last thing I do
” we will do it together we will help Danny experience true happiness again

Danny just returned from his sign up as coca b.a. he was so tired ..
He sat on his bed and tried resting when his phone rang . It was Mr king .
” danny what’s good
” I signed the contract
” ok I saw you on tv
” ok cool that’s nice
” you are doing “teens attract” Danny
” who’s the female model
“I dunno but I believe it’s not anyone you know
” till then for now I have a hair set commercial soon i need to get ready for it
” ok .
Mr king dropped the call and Danny rushed into the shower as he walked out he kicked that old box mistakenly so he sat on the floor and opened it.
It was filled with pictures and memories of Clara.
He smiled and wiped his tears.
” the innocent girl I killed “, he said to himself .

************Next day.
Gretel had not come out of her room all morning.
Celine decided to check on her she walked into the room sbd their gret sat .
” hey teen.
” lina
” why don’t you meet simeon and let him explain I promise you gret you will feel better if he explains.
” I don’t want to.
” then will just keep crying and hurting yourself.
Gretel wiped her tears and fell on her pillow.
Just then Mildred knocked on the door. Gretel switched on her intercom.

” tell me.
” madam a simeon is looking for you

” no tell him we are coming to hear his own part of the story “, celine said

Gretel read it
” well thank you for your explanation but you should ave told me before, finding out from someone else was awfull so I can’t forgive you

” ouch that was in the past y are you hitting me because of something that i did before am i doing it now? , am a cha……..
She looked at simeon then she looked at Celine who was smiling

CEline walked in,side and Gretel tried following her but she locked her out
Simeon knelt down
” I promised not to hurt you but I did just beat me up call your guards do whatever but don’t leave me pls don’t leave
Gretel dragged him up
” I forgive you as a person simeon but it will take time before I accept as a boyfriend again the pain of heartbreak is too much I want to confirm wether am ready for that kind of pain in the future

She hugged him and Celine ran out and made it a group hug
Mr hoffman smiled from his window where he watched
Celine and gretel ran back in,side
” how do you feel now
” better
” you see forgiving is good
GREtel hugged her
” thank you
Celine walked into the passage and ran into Emma who dragged her into her room.
” what’s up.
” so Celine I was thinking why don’t u ask Danny about Clara
” what.
” that’s the first step you need to push Danny to go to the studio.
” what if he gets mad and breaks his mirror again.
” if we keep being scared of his reaction we will never be able too help him Celine.
” ok I will ask Danny.
” I already called the guy who watches over the studio and he said Danny has not visited for one day Celine.. but I beleive you can push danny to move on cos he loves you.
” ok Emma I understand , operation make Danny sing has officially begun.
Both of them laughed …
Celine walked out She rushed into Danny’s room he was already dressed up to leave.
He wore a very sweet jacket with a black Jean…he wore his slipper and freed his hair which he tucked behind his ear exposing his earing.
He wore a gold necklace and held his phone in his hand where he wore a gold ring..
He turned and saw Celine who watched him quietly.
” Celine .
She walks toward him and gently smiled.
” are you going out.
Danny looked into his phone.
” yes am kinda late..
Hes phone rang he tried picking the call but Celine shaked her head in disagreement so he dropped the phone on the bed and removed his jacket .
” Do you want to talk about something.
” yes.
Danny nodded and sat on the bed celine sat beside him she was really scared..
” Danny I want to talk about clara.
” what about her .
” can you tell me why you stopped singing
” I don’t feel like signing anymore.
” Danny.
” Celine lets not talk about the past.
” do you still love Clara.
” I love you.
” then why Do you get angry at every mention of her name.

” who got angry I never got angry. Who said i am angry
He stood up and took his jacket he walked to the door when he got himself.
He returned back to Celine on the bed .
” Danny you almost walked out on me.
“Am sorry, SO sorry ….. Celine am sorry .
” Danny I can’t leave you like this , you need to move on from Clara.
” I moved on.
” then prove it , go to your studio amd sing.
” I can’t, I already said I can’t.won’t you stop won’t every one just stop
He picked a stick of cigarette then he broke it in his hands and threw it out.
He placed both hands on his face
Celine hugged him like that.
” Danny I really want you to sing for me if you don’t I will believe that you don’t love me and you are just faking.
She let go off him and walked out of his room
She wiped her tears .
” Clara let go of Danny , let him move on , I know its his fault u died but be has mourned you enough”, she said to herself.

Celine walked into the maids room where she watched danny who rushed into the compound from the window.
She wondered where he went to.
Minutes later Emma ran into celines room
” what happened Emma
” i recieved word danny is at the studio
She and Emma ran out they entered emmas car and took off soon the arrived the studio she and Emma snuck in from a passage way were they secretly spied on danny and Clara before then they peeped in they saw the whole studio clearly

Claras picture was posted all round the studio it was the total wallpaper pictures of Clara and Danny
” she is beautiful

” Jesus did the glass mirror just turn on
‘” it’s not a mirror its a touch screen system
Danny switched on the Mic and recorder
” Mic is ready.
Danny organised everything soon a slow but steady sad tune played on the background
Voice guide : recording started step to the Mic
Voice guide : recording started step to the mic
Just then danny remembered when Clara mimicked the voice guide
He still went to the standing Mic
Voice guide; in one, two, three start
The tune started playing again and Danny held the Mic and sang
Danny :
I searched, in my dreams I searched, like I lost the breath that kept me alive.
Emma smiled

Danny couldn’t control the voices anymore he angrily pushed down the microphone and stepped out
The voice guide kept talking, the song kept playing Danny tried switching it off it didn’t stop he angrily pushed the whole equiipments down then he broke the computer screen with his hands and bled out
Why was I so reckless!!! He shouted as he pushed down his image which was molded in front of the studio

He broke the glass window
Why why!!
He broke the mirror on the wall with a chair
Danny walked to Claras picture which was protected with glass he broke the glass then he knelt down there
” Why did you have to die clara why didn’t I listen to you I killed you and stopped you from fulfilling your dreams
” Aaargh Clara let me move on let me be happy for once I know I killed you but am sorry I wish you can just hear me
He watched his hands bleed out he looked at himself in the mirror so he angrily switched of the lights the whole place was dark
” Celine lets go come on
” what about Danny
” lets go
They both snuck out
” I can’t sing anymore because each time I remember to sing I remember your death i remember that I killed you and I have not asked you to forgive me Clara .
Emma and celine entered the car and celine cried out
” at least he came Celine after 4 years he came because of you
” now I understand the painful power of guilt
” you will understand something scary about Danny when you see him today at home
They drove off
Light opens on Gretel as she walked into her car
Soon they arrived home and Celine rushed into the maids room.

” Danny can’t move on from clara.
” Celine its ok.
” no its not , I need to call Clara so she can tell Danny that she has forgiven him.
” but Clara Is dead “, Emily said.
” then I just have to invoke her spirit.
” oh I forgot where you come from Celine “, Mildred said.
” I just have to do the fast , I will do it for Danny ..I will fast for Danny and after the fast I will take him to see Clara that’s my birthday gift to him “freedom.

She walked into his room with cold juice and kept it on the table
Danny hugged her smiling
Celine sat down and watched Danny like a horror movie as he smiled .
” Now I understand what Emma meant you are so good at hidding your pain so much that you fake every emotion so well, isnt this the guy who was crying

” Celine do you know that I have never loved anyone the way I love you ,You take my pain away.my pain killer.
Celine smiled with tears in her eye and hugged him.
” I will take it all away Danny , everything … just give me time”, she said in her mind. As she hugged him
She touched his bleeding hands.
” you are hurt my love
” am I?, it must be a scratch”, he said and k-ssed her l-ips.
