A Struggle to Hang on To Love- Chapter1
Serena and Darien were having dinner at Darien's apartment. They had just finished eating. Serena noticed that Darien had a sad look on his face. She speaks up "Darien what is wrong you look so sad." He looks up at her beautiful angelic smile and says "I have something to tell you Serena." Serena replies "Okay go ahead and tell me please I hate seeing you like this." Darien answers "Okay I will tell you but let's go to the park." So they get in the car and drive to the park. While they were heading toward the park Darien was thinking to himself "I wonder how she is going to take it me going to medical school in the states." They arrive at the park. Darien gets out and opens the door for Serena. "Let's go for a walk Darien." Serena suggested. Darien nods in agreement and they walk down to the dock. Darien realizes that is the place where they had their first date. He takes her hand and says "Serena remember when I sent that application off to go to medical school in the states. about a month ago." "I got a letter yesterday saying that I have been accepted to go to school there." Serena was so happy for Darien that she almost fell into lake. Darien caught her and said "Are you all right?" Serena who was a little embarrassed says "I knew you would be accepted." "So how long will you be gone?" Darien answers "2 years there and then I get to finish up here in Japan." "So how about we go sit down for a while." They go over to the bench and sit down. Darien notices that she is fixing to cry and takes her hand and says "Please do not cry Serena I will be back to see you." She looks up at him with tears in her eyes and says "When do you leave?" Darien wipes the tears out of her eyes and says "I have to leave in 2 weeks." "The next two weeks I want to spend with you because I am going to miss you while I am in the states." She replies "I am going to miss you more but our love for each other will keep us together no matter how far apart we are." Darien looks at her with tears in his eyes and says "You are right our love is so strong that it got us through some rough times in the past." "It will get us through this to." He takes Serena in his arms and gave her kiss. Serena is thinking to herself "I do not want him to go." "I am afraid I will lose him." After they finish kissing he looks at her and says "I want you to know that you are in my heart Serena." Serena replies "You will always be in mine." Serena realizes that it is getting late and asks "What time is it?" Darien looks at his watch. He jumps up "Oh my gosh it is almost midnight better get you home." They walk back to the car. He helps her in and they drive off. While they were driving Darien looks at her and says to himself "She took better than I thought." "I just know we will make it through this." They arrive at her house and he helps her out of the car. He walks her up to the door. She looks at him and he looks at her. She embraces him and gives him a kiss goodnight. Before she can close the door she says "Darien I love you." He turns around and says "Serena I love you to." She says "goodnight" but before she can close the door she hears Darien yell "Serena!"
"Good Night my love."
