**Serena POV**

I can't believe this is happening. I saw it. I did. It was real. But I can't believe it. **sniff** This is so unfair. He's supposed to be in love with me. He said he was in love with me. So why is my entire world falling apart?

**Flashback**

**Amy's POV**

He'll be here in 10 minutes. Oh god…I still don't know what to wear. He hasn't even told me where we're going! How am I supposed to know how to dress? **soft laughter** Well, that's Darien for you, I suppose. **picks up a cell phone, dialing Darien's number**

"Hey, baby, I was thinking… I'm not even dressed yet…why don't you just come up and keep me company?"

**deep chuckle**

"If I come up there, I'm fairly sure that you're never going to get dressed."

"Well that's fine with me. It's hot today."

"I'll be up in 5"

**hangs up the phone with a snap** Oh shit! He'll be here in 5 minutes!! I don't have anything to wear!! Not that I was planning on wearing much, anyways…Damn… I really need to make a trip to Victoria's Secret… But until then… I'll borrow from Mina's stash. She always keeps some stuff here. **runs into the closet, frantically raiding Mina's underwear drawer**

**a doorbell sounds just as I put my last article of clothing on**

"Coming!"

"I'm waiting…" said a playfully annoyed voice at the other side of the door.

"Well then maybe you should wait a little longer." I replied.

"No! I was kidding! Won't you please open the door?"

"I'm not dressed! You can't come in!"

"Am I supposed to break down the door?"

**I quickly opened the door**

"No, no! That won't be necessary today."

**he stepped forward, sliding his hands around my waist and whispered "I thought you said you weren't ready" before closing the door and walking me backwards into my bedroom**

** Serena's POV**

I knocked on the door gingerly, Amy was usually up by now, and I needed help. I mean, seriously, this wedding was not going to plan itself. And who better to help me than my maid of honor?

"Amy?" I called softly. I didn't want to wake her on the off chance she was asleep. "Are you there?" I knocked again, a little more forcefully. The door creaked open. "Amy?" I called again, "I'm coming in, now."

I walked into the apartment and set my keys on the kitchen counter. "Amy?" I called again, more loudly. As I neared her bedroom, I could hear the sound of the shower. Well, that explained why she didn't answer the door. I walked into her bedroom to wait for Amy when I saw Mina's sexy lacy underwear strewn about the floor. And I thought to myself "What on earth are Mina's undies doing in the middle of Amy's floor?" All of a sudden, I heard strange noises accompanied by yelling coming from the bathroom. Not knowing what was going on, or what could be happening to Amy, I rushed into the bathroom, expecting to find blood, but instead finding my maid of honor and my fiancée having sex in her shower. I stood there for a moment, shocked. They hadn't even noticed that I was in the room yet. I said one thing, and one thing only before I fled the apartment: "How could you?"

**End Flashback**

** Serena's POV **

It was times like this where I missed him so bad that I just wanted to die. Just so the ache would go away. *sigh* If only he were here… Maybe this wouldn't have happened…

*whispers*

"…Seiya…"

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and rapidly turned to meet the owner.

"Darien!" I cried out in shock, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. About last week… I didn't mean…" He stammered.

"Look, I don't want to hear it, okay? I saw what I saw, and that's all there is to it. Now if you would be so kind, I have someplace that I have to be."

"But… It was a mistake…"

"It seemed to be a mistake that you enjoyed."

"Well… That's why I came here…. I need to explain."

"You had sex with my maid of honor, what's to explain?"

"Well… I…"

"Oh god, don't tell me you were drunk. *harsh laughter* Besides, even if you were, I know she wasn't. What's her excuse? In fact, I'm actually rather surprised that you didn't show up together."

"Serena, please… Just let me explain."

"Let me ask you a question. Did you just get out of bed with Amy or something? Because you smell kind of funny."

"What? Why would you…?"

"Oh. See? That answers my question. See…. She's cleaning up right now. And then she'll be waiting for me in my apartment, hoping that by the time I get there, that I'm madly in love with you, and not mad at her because this was all just a big misunderstanding. So why don't you just crawl back into bed with your girlfriend and we can all get on with our lives."

I never saw such an expression of rage on his face as I did now. This gave me some small ounce of satisfaction. I was wallowing in my glory. Almost marveling that I stood up to him. I didn't even see it coming.

*SMACK*
