AN: This is a start of a new fanfic. Tell me what you think. Hope you like it!
" Seiya, No!" Serena said trying to push him off of her, as he violently kissed her. He'd taken her to his latest concert, and then had led her to a spare room. Knowing what he wanted she shook her head.
Serena loved her boyfriend Darien, with all her heart and had been brought to Seiya's concert under the false pretence of being just friends. And until this very minute, she'd believed him.
But Seiya wasn't listening. She pushed him as hard as she could and reached for her broach. Seiya looked at her angrily.
" What is this?" he asked grabbing the broach from her hands. " Some kind of weapon?"
Serena tried to grab it back, but he threw it under the bed. She tried to kick him, but since she wasn't in her other form, her strength wasn't much more than a regular girl.
She started to cry. " Seiya. Why me? What did I ever do to you?"
She got no answer as he pushed her onto the bed. She gave up. He was too strong for her, without her powers. If she fought him, he'd only hurt her more. She knew her life would never be the same again.
The next morning Serena woke up, her face clammy. She'd cried herself to sleep the night before. How could Seiya do that to her? She thought they had been good friends. Serena sighed, not wanting to relive the night before.
Last night, after the act, she had run all the way home in tears. Luckily for her, her parents and brother had gone on a mini vacation, and she had the house to herself.
Luna had seen her in tears, but Serena had refused to tell her. Since she had retrieved her broach, she didn't need to tell Luna anything. This would be her secret, her shame, which she would carry with her forever. She couldn't tell anyone. It was just too scary for her, even now.
Serena got up and went to get dressed. Making her breakfast, she looked over her bare arms. They both had several scratches and bruises as did her legs. She frowned and realized she'd have to change.
After eating she went back to her room to change. Luckily Luna was still sleeping on the downstairs couch and hadn't seen her scratches. Serena changed into a big bulky sweater and her jeans. There, she said to herself, that's better. No one needs to know.
Serena figured she might as well try and live her life the way she used to. Try and go on with her life and forget about the night before. Serena smiled at her bravery. Walking downstairs she woke up Luna.
The cat mewed as she stretched and sat up. She looked over at Serena. " Are you feeling better now, Serena?"
Serena nodded her head, although only slightly better, she was feeling better. She picked up her cat and walked outside.
" Lets go for a walk, Luna."
The cat nodded and purred as Serena locked up her house. Walking outside she silently hoped that no one she knew would meet up with her. She really didn't want to lie, but refused to tell anyone and would lie if she had to.
After a good mile or two, Serena sat down on a park bench. She just sat there watching everything around her. Luna sat down on her lap and watched to. Knowing something was wrong with her owner, but knowing that she didn't want to talk about it.
Just then, Serena felt a tap on her shoulder. Her whole body froze up. Could it be him? She then realized that Seiya wouldn't dare show his face again. She then winced, not wanting to talk with anyone. She didn't turn around, since she saw the figure turn and sit down on the bench, next to her. She faced the figure, only to find her boyfriend staring at her.
" Hey, Serena," he said smiling at her. Wearing his usual black turtleneck and jeans, he looked as adorable as always.
" Hi, Darien," she said plainly.
Serena frowned inwardly. How could she not tell him? What happened if she started to cry? He'd ask what was wrong. Then she couldn't lie to him. She wouldn't be able to. Serena faked a smile and opted to make small chitchat.
" So… what brings you over here?" she asked stroking Luna, for comfort.
Darien smiled. " I come here sometimes to think. But now that I found you, why don't we got to the arcade, and I'll treat you to a double fudge sundae?"
Serena didn't really want to leave her safe haven. Plus Seiya might be there. But she knew that if she refused his offer, he'd become suspicious. So she nodded and smiled.
" Sounds great!" she said trying to sound enthusiastic. Luckily for her, Darien didn't catch on to the fact the she was only pretending to be enthused.
The couple walked the few miles to the arcade and Darien held the door open for her as she walked in. She held her breath. Looking around, she didn't see Seiya. She let her breath out, and walked over to the counter where her and Darien usually sat. Andrew was there drying a glass and smiled as he saw the couple walk up to him.
" Hi, Serena. Darien. How are you guys?" he asked as the two sat down.
" Great," Serena lied. This was going to be so hard. Lying to all her friends. Serena sighed. Darien turned to her, concerned.
" You, okay, Angel?" but before she could answer Darien continued, " Nothing that a double fudge sundae can't cure right?" At Serena's nod, Andrew left to fix her sundae.
Darien and Andrew talked about meaningless stuff as she ate her sundae. Just as she was finishing it off, she heard the bell jingle, signaling another customer. Serena's head whipped around, to find the Three Lights walking in. Panicking, she turned around. What should she do? She turned to Darien and Andrew.
" Thanks for the sundae Darien, but I got to go now. Bye," she said suddenly and got up, walking as fast as she could out of the arcade. Once outside she took a deep breath and tried not to cry, but soon gave into her tears. Still walking as fast as she could, she let the tears fall down her cheeks.
Just then she felt two arms touch her shoulders. She immediately froze, thinking it was Seiya. Her hand shot to her broach, ready to fight him if she needed to. She closed her eyes, and turned around.
Tears still rolling down her face, and hand still on her broach, she opened her eyes and yelled,
" Get away from me! I'll kill you if you dare touch me again!"
Once the words were out of her mouth she froze and her hand flew to her mouth, as she looked at the person who stood in front of her, it being none other than Darien.
Serena gasped and flung herself into his arms. " Oh Darien," she sobbed on his shoulder.
Darien just stood there holding the love of his life in his arms. What on earth had she just said? And what had she meant by it? What had happened to her to cause her to talk so violently? Just as he was thinking, Darien felt her go weak in his arms and he quickly held unto her.
" Serena!" he said loudly and a few people turned around. But Serena didn't answer him. He was about to take her home, when she moved. She opened her big blue eyes and looked up at him, tears still in her eyes.
" Darien. I feel so weak," she said weakly as she held unto him. Darien held her tight and wondered what had happened to her.
After a few minutes, she gently pushed away from him and stood up straight. Avoiding his eyes, she looked away. She felt his gentle fingers turning her face to his.
" Serena. I know something is wrong, but I wont push you to tell me. Whenever you're ready, I'll be there to listen and help."
Serena smiled up at him and nodded. " I love you Darien."
Darien smiled and nodded. " I love you too. Now you go rest ok. Call me whenever."
Serena nodded once again and then slowly walked away from him. Darien just stood there for a few moments before walking off. What was wrong with her? Oh how he wanted to know, but would have to wait.
AN: Next chapter up soon I hope.
