Serena watched the ice cream melt in misery. She was never hungry nowadays, but ice cream always used to make her happy so she decided to give it a shot. It didn't work. Her thoughts flew back to Darien. Why didn't she see it coming? She should have known he was too good to be true. Her friends warned her but she never listened, her love for Darien wouldn't allow her to think of him anything other then perfect. A tear slipped out of her eye, but Serena quickly wiped it away. She couldn't cry because of him, she wouldn't. He didn't deserve her tears. Serena stood up from her place on the park bench deciding it was time for her to head back home. As she walked down the sidewalk she unconsciously twisted the ring she had on her left ring finger, it wasn't an engagement ring but it was close. It was a promise ring Darien gave to her as an anniversary gift. It symbolized happy days when she was certain Darien loved her as much as she loved him, but those days were over and done with. The only thing she was left with was bitter pain that burned through her heart every time she thought about him, which was pretty much every second of everyday since she found out she means as much to him as 1 water molecule is to the ocean, absolutely nothing. The ring was simple it was just a gold ban with the words "mahal kita" written on it. He told her it meant I love you in some language she wasn't familiar with.
Serena looked up from the ring and was startled when she saw the one person she'd rather die then talk to right now. He was walking towards her with his head bowed down. He didn't even acknowledge her yet so she decided to make a run for it before he did.
"Serena!" Darien called out.
To late Serena thought. She watched him run towards her. She could feel the butterflies flutter in her stomach and desperately wished they'd go away. She didn't want to feel this way for some one that broke her heart. It just wasn't fair! He probably didn't even care, he just felt guilty for leading her on the way he did. Serena's body tensed as she prepared herself for the up coming pain that came with the thought. He pitied her, he never loved her, and he was only doing this because it would be easier for him and Serena if he just played along for a while. Who was he to break some little girl's heart? Serena wanted to scream right there and then, she clutched at her chest wanting so bad for the pain to just disappear....just like the love he supposedly felt for her did.
"Serena! I've been looking for you. How come you didn't return any of my calls? I musta left about a hundred messages. Where have you been Hun?" Darien managed to get out while catching his breath.
Serena closed her eyes for a few seconds to try and clam her nerves. Why was he acting this way? He was acting as though nothing has happened. Did she really mean that little him that he would do something like that and not even care about what she'd feel? How long has this been going on? She bit her lower lip to keep it from quivering, she knew what was to come next but she refused to let him see her cry. If he was going to act so nonchalant so was she. She didn't care about him! Hell she didn't even know why she thought she loved him. Serena got up her nerves and started to move again, brushing passed him like he was just some stranger. But he continued to walk next to her like nothing even happened. He just had to make this hard on her didn't he?
"So I was wondering if you wanted to come to my apartment. I could make us a nice meal and I don't know watch TV or something after." Darien asked unsure if he should have asked her now because of the way she just brushed him off.
Right, left, right, left, right, left, Serena kept count in her head, making sure she didn't trip over her feet. She kept looking forward and tried to act casual. "I don't think so Darien, mom's making my fave tonight and I want to get to it before Sammy eats it all. Plus I have a TV of my own, why would I go to your place just to watch it when I already have one?"
"Oh...yeah...right, um I just wanted to see if you wanted to be with me tonight is all..." Darien said slowly and quietly. Serena's heart ached; she totally forgot why she was being so cold towards him when she heard a hint of uncertainty in his voice. But she couldn't break now, she just couldn't. She thought about what he did to her and knew once again why she was acting this way.
"Darien, I have better things to do then waste my time," Serena said harshly.
"Who said you'd be wasting anytime?" Darien asked confused.
"Darien..." She blanked; she had no idea what to say next. She has never been this cold to him before. It took her all just to say what she did earlier; she couldn't keep this up...
"What's wrong? Are you feeling okay? Something doesn't feel right. Maybe you coming to my place wouldn't be a good idea if you were sick, are you? Come on I'll take you home. It's chilly and you aren't wearing a jacket. " Darien protectively wrapped his arms Serena.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Serena screamed. She pushed Darien away and wrapped her own arms around herself.
"Serena..."
"Darien, just leave me the hell alone..." Serena said in a quite tone. She couldn't stand him pretending he cared for her. She needed to get away from him. Now! She didn't want to hear him talk about taking care of her and making sure she wasn't cold or anything for that matter because just about everything he said was complete bullshit.
"I don't understand. You want me to leave you alone, but why?"
Serena looked up wanting to look him square in the eye so he would see what she really meant, but when she looked up what she saw was absolute fear. It scared her.
"I..I...have to go now." Serena said just before she ran off dodging Darien's hand that tried to pull her back to him. Eyes of several people on the side walk watched as the drama unfolded. She didn't care, she forgot about everything and everyone at that moment. All she thought about was how she was suppose to live with out him in her life...
