Letting Go

Summary: It's about Serena letting go (hence the title) of her bad marriage that ended in divorce. And learning to love again.
Disclaimer:I don't owe the show or the song.The song is by LeeAnn Rimes.She and some big companies own the song.I'm just using it for entertainment.
AN: My second attempt at writing a fanfic but not just a simple fanfic a song fanfic. This story was inspired by LeAnn Rimes' song 'One of These Days'. I thought this song fit perfectly into this story- and the fact that I have wanted to write a song fanfic of my own for so long (try since last summer!) Oh, and Serena is 24 and Darien is 27. There are other characters but let's face it they're not that important. It's an alternative fanfic, which means there're no scouts, no Moon Kingdom, or Crystal Tokyo. One last thing some of you *might* find this story a little humorous later on that's because I wanted to make the story lighthearted. If you don't than I must really not be as funny as I thought. On with the story!

Chapter One
Some people don't believe in love at first sight. Well I was one of those people. I didn't have any reason or hope to believe in love. None at all.
Let me start at the beginning.
I once fell in love with a guy back in High School, my senior year. Prom was approaching and I didn't have anyone to go with yet so I gathered up all the courage I had (which I had very little of) and asked him out. To my surprise he said yes. Long story short we went to the prom had a great time then he dropped me of at my home and we went our separate ways after that.
******************************
Wish someone would tell me when
I won't think of you again
*******************************
But the story doesn't end there. No siree.
A month or so later we somehow became an item all over school then we started dating.
We kept seeing each other all through college; it was pretty serious.
Then one day out of the blue he got on one knee and took out a gigantic diamond rock that was supposed to be my engagement ring and proposed. Well of course I had said yes. I mean I thought this man was my Prince Charming.
Boy was I wrong. But I haven't gotten to that part yet.
After our beautiful, big wedding we went to Paris and had a perfect honeymoon- or so I thought. Back then I was a little naive and hadn't figured out that my so called Prince Charming was cheating on me.
I hadn't known until he told me the truth in front of a judge but by then I suspected something was wrong with our marriage.
It's been a year since done. Feels like a milliuime. I've tried moving on but it's hard. I loved him very much. Guess he didn't feel the same way.
*******************************
I'll get past the emptiness
And let a little happiness back in
********************************
So how could I ever believe or love again?
I thought I couldn't until something amazing happened that healed my heart and I forgot all about my bad marriage.
I had just moved to a new town in New Jersey for a job offer as a first-grade teacher and I had June and Ward, my next door neighbors, over for coffee. Well actually their real names are Betty and Roger but trust me if you had seen them you too would have thought they were Ward and June. Anyway that night was like a nightmare that kept coming back and haunting me.
" So Serena," began Roger, "where are you from?"
" Oh, I came from New York." I replied lackadaisically.
" What made you move to a small town like this?"
" I got a job offer as a teacher here. I also wanted to get away." I added softly.
" Get away from what?" Inquired Roger.
Gee, was this 20 questions or something?
I felt like combusting into little lava pieces and burning Roger's flesh of.
" I just got divorced recently and I didn't want to stay in New York anymore because of my life there after my divorce. I wanted to start over, make a new life."
********************************
Pretending not to care
Leaves me halfway there
********************************
" Oh, you poor thing," Betty said sympathetically.
" Why did you…" Before Roger could finish his thought the doorbell rang, which I've never been so glad to hear in my entire life.
I knew what Roger wanted to ask and quite frankly I wanted him to stay out of my business.
I grabbed the doorknob and practically threw the door of its hinges. When the door revealed who it was I just stood there frozen, literally.
The man had inky hair and deep dark sapphire eyes. He looked like a god.
" Um, hello. Is this Serena Tsukino's place?" He asked looking at me like I was an idiot, which I probably did since I was just standing there gaping at him; with my tongue rolled on the floor.
" Um, uh," I spat out dumbly. Searching my brain for something brilliant to say. Unfortunately I still couldn't make my lips move. I had no clue why. Maybe it was him, maybe me. All I knew was I couldn't talk or move! I even thought he put a spell on me! Let me tell ya love could make you think some strange things.
At that moment June and Ward I mean Betty and Roger came out to the hall to see what was keeping me.
A lot of things; particularly him. I wanted to say but I still had that little speech problem.
*******************************
One of these days I'll be completely over you
Heaven knows how long it will take
But one of these days I'll find somebody who'll
Love your memory away
One of these days
********************************
" Oh, hello Darien."
" Hello Mrs.Johnson, Mr.Johnson. I just came over here to introduce my self to our new neighborn."
" How sweet of you.This is your new neighborn,Serena."
I said, shaking his hand, " nice to meet you, Darien."
" Likewise."
" Why don't we all go into the dining room and get acquainted over a cup of tea," I asked ushering my guests into the dining room.
