Discalimer: I don't own sailor moon!
Chapter One: Meeting Again
Darien woke up to his alarm clock going off. He rolled over and turned off the annoying sound that woke him from his slumber. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the clock, it was 6:30. He rolled back over on his back and sighed. 'Thank god, its Friday.' he thought to himself. He threw the blankets of off him and stepped out of bed. He yawned and stretched. He was so glad it was Friday, for he was ready to sit and relax. It had been such a long and tiring week. Darien walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. He had dark circles under his eyes, from working late almost everynight this week. He walked over to the bath tub and turned on the shower.
She starred into the bathroom mirror. What had happened to her? This wasn't the girl she use to be. She touched the cut on her cheek with a wet rag, it stung so bad it brought tears to her eyes. A man stumbled into the bathroom. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Getting ready for work." She answered without looking at him. "Well hurry up and try not to use all the hot water." He growled as he stumbled out of the bathroom. She walked over to the bath tub and turned the shower on. She slowly got undressed. Her body ached all over as she got into the shower.
Darien stepped out of the shower and got dressed. He walked back into his bedroom to find his shoes and put them on. As he was putting his shoes on he suddenly thought about her. He grabbed a picture frame out of his night stand, it was a picture of him and his ex-fiance Serena. It had been 5 years since they had split up and since he had seen her. He wondered why he had this sudden wonderment about her. He brushed it off and sat the picture down on the night stand and walked into the kitchen. He grabbed his cellphone and car keys from the counter. He sighed and shook his head as he walked out the door.
"Leave me alone, David!" She yelled as she left the bedroom and walked into the kitchen. "Don't you walk away from me when I am talking to you!" He yelled as he grabbed her by her arm and threw her into the coffee table. "David stop!" She cried as she slowly got up, her body ached all over. David walked toward her and She scrambled to get away. "Don't you run from me, Serena." He shouted. "David, stop." She pleaded as she ran over to the door. She opened the door and ran out of their apartment.
Darien parked his car and grabbed his umbrella. It was pouring down rain out side. He got out and quickly opened his umbrella and walked over to the parking meter.
Serena ran out of the apartment building with David close behind her. Serena looked behind her to see how far behind he was. Before she turned back around she ran into someone. "Ow!" a male voice groaned as they both fell to the ground. Serena sat there panting, soaking wet. "I am so sorry." She said as she looked behind her. David was gone. She sighed in relief. "Are you allright?" The man asked as he stood up looking at her. "Yeah." She said as she looked up at him. He starred at her for a moment. "Serena?" He asked shocked. "Darien?" He helped her up and placed the umbrella over both of them. "Oh my god, what happened to you?" He asked as he looked at her cut on her cheek and yellow bruise around her eye. "Nothing." She said as she looked away from him. He wasn't settling for that answer. "Serena, what happened? You have a black eye thats about a week old and a fresh cut on your cheek." He said. "Don't worry about it, I'm fine." She said irratated. He wasn't happy with that answer, but left it alone. "Where are you headed, then?" He asked. "Well I was headed to work, but I am soaked to the bone, so I think I'll just take the day off." She said as she looked down at the ground. "I have to go." She said softly. "Serena, wait." He said as he grabbed her hand. She stopped and turned around. "Look if you need anything, call me." He said as he gave her a busniess card, with his name on it. She took the card and read it. It said, Dr. Darien Shields, with his number at the bottom. She looked up at him. "When did you finish medical school?" She asked. "Three years ago." He said as he starred into her once happy sapphire eyes that light up when she smiled. Now they were just dark and full of sorrow and pain. He wondered what had happened to her. "Oh, well it seems your are doing what you always wanted." She said. He smiled. "Yeah, remember anytime you need something, just call, I am here for you." He said. Serena nodded and waved good bye as she walked back to the apartment building.
Later that night Darien sit in his front room on his leather couch and looked through his photo album. He reminiced all the happy times he and Serena shared. He couldn't believe the state she was in now. What had happened to her after they split up? He thought back to that fateful night, five years ago when they parted ways.
FlashBack...
"Darien, how could you?" Serena yelled as she broke down in tears. "I'm sorry, Serena, it was a mistake." He said as he tried to reach out to her, but she pulled away from him. Tears streaming down her face now. "Yeah, I am sure it was. I can't believe you would ever cheat on me, I have done nothing, but been faithful to you." She yelled in anger as the more she thought about it the madder she got. "Serena.." He started. "No, just get out! Leave Now!" She yelled as she pointed toward the door. "Can I explain?" He asked desperatly trying to justify what he had done. "No, there's nothing to explain, I never want to see you again, get your stuff and get out of my life for good!"
Serena stared at herself in the mirror and her mind wondered back to Darien. The look in his eyes when he saw her earlier that day, the tone in his voice when he spoke, showed that he was scared for her. His touch was so gentle and tender, she almost forgot what that felt like. Why did things have to turn out the way they did? Why didn't she just swallow her pride and listen to his side of the story that night? Would she be where she is at now, or still in his strong loving arms? Tears fell down her cheeks as the questions ran through her mind. She never thought she would see him again and now that she had, she wished she was with him in his arms. Serena walked away from the mirror and placed her back up against the door and slid down to the floor. She pulled her knees up close to her chest and crossed her arms over her knees. She layed her head down and cried.
Darien sighed and placed the photo album on the coffee table and stood up. He walked over to a pair of sliding doors and opened them. He stepped out, into the cool night air, onto his balcony and walked over to the railing and leaned against it looking up at the moon. He wanted to help her so bad. He hoped she would call him, or see her again so he could rescue her from the hell she was going through. He missed her and loved her with all his heart, but he couldn't tell her that after all these years, what would she say? What would she think? Would she feel the same? All these questions were driving him crazy, because he didn't have the answers to them.
