She hated the fact that she loved him. And even worse that she had to tell
him. Her mother told her it's just a deep breath and you spill. If only it
was that easy. Today, Serena thought, I will tell him. She got to the
arcade and there he was. She took a deep breath. Just go. She walked over
to Darien Shields.
"Hey Meatball Head." He said. She cringed.
"Darien I have to tell you something." She paused and took another breath, "I... I..."
"Darien!" A red haired woman yelled. She rushed over and sat beside him. He put his arm around her. Serena's heart shattered into million peices.
"Serena, this is Mandy." He smiled. "My girlfriend."
Serena extended her hand to the witch. "Nice to meet you."
"So what did you want to tell me Meatball Head?"
"Uh... I'm sorry! I guess I forgot! Silly me." She walked away. Darien wondered what was up. She sat down with her back to turned to them. She sang a soft poem to herself.
"When I was little Fairy tales were always true, But everything changed, Until the moment I met you."
Happy endings were never happy before, Until you came along, And made my heart soar."
She held back the tears and sighed. Oh well. It's not like he was the only guy in the world. Oh well. Forget it. The pep talk didn't work. She walked out of the arcade before breaking in tears. She glanced over her shoulder into the window. There he was with her. She sang again.
"But this happy ending, Failed like the rest, And Prince Charming, I tried my best.
So the story is done, Just closed the book, And now I'll forget you, After this last look."
She walked slowly home crying silent tears. Maybe it was too much. Maybe it really wasn't worth it anymore. She had no Darien, was being forced to save the world, and had to listen to a talking cat. She broke out in harsher sobs. Raye didn't help. She was always making fun of her. Amy was a total brain and Serena was always compared to her.
She stood by a fire escape. Seventeen stories was enough. Wasn't it? She cried more and more and violently. Her tears blurred her steps as she climbed higher and higher. It would be better this way. No Meatball Head klutzing out. No dumb Serena messing things up. No Sailor Moon cowering away.
She reached the top and looked down. It was far enough. She looked at the sky.
"No it's better If this ending becomes true, Now I won't annoy And bother you,
Good bye cruel world, Good bye fair prince, Now everything is happy And makes so much sense."
She took a step off the building, but stopped falling before she started. She looked up at a man with dark hair pulling her up. She couldn't see his face because of the tears, but she knew he must be kind. He held her in his arms.
"Why do you care?" She asked. "No one else does." She kept sobbing.
"You don't have to do this." He said.
"Oh, but I do! It will be better for everyone! I won't cause anymore worry and annoyance. Nope!"
"You're drunk on tears." He said.
"No I'm not! I'm just finally seeing the truth. I'm not wanted here because I'm stupid and ugly."
"Your beautiful Serena."
"Hey! How do you know my name?!" She wiped her eyes and blinked. "Darien! Why aren't you with MANDY!!!! I mean because you've got to feel cold without her hanging all over you!" She pulled away and stood at the edge of the building.
"Serena! Don't do it!"
"Give me one good reason Darien!"
"Because the world needs you."
"Oh no they don't! They've got the rest of the Sailor Scouts! They can handle it!"
"The Scouts need you."
"They don't either! If I wasn't klutzing out during battles it would save them a lot of trouble."
"I need you."
She laughed. "Oh really?! For what? Entertainment?! To inflate your ego because it's just not big enough already! That's why you have to bother me everyday!"
"No Serena! I need you because I couldn't survive without you. If I couldn't see your face everyday I'd die. If I couldn't see your smile, I'd never be happy. I love you Serena."
She didn't know what to think, but then knew exactly what she wanted to think. "Liar," she hissed. "Your trying to save me. Don't worry about it! You'll find someone else to make miserable." She looked straight forward at the setting sun and stepped off.
Darien rushed forward, but knew he couldn't reach her... So he jumped after her falling faster than she had been. He grabbed her in his left arm and reached for the fire escape with his right. His fingers gripped the rusty iron siding. He knew he couldn't pull them up. He looked down. There was only five or more stories to go. He let go and held her in both arms, saying a silent prayer before landing.
Author's Note: Suspense. Isn't it great? Please review even though there isn't much to review. You've got to have some small interest in whether or not they're okay. And come on I had fun writing the poem!! PLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE?!
