Chapter Two: The Truth from Lita
Darien looked at Raye after Serena left, feeling as though his life was over. How could Raye lie to her like that? He knew that he should have told Serena the truth as to why he had to leave her, but he also knew that he was yet again testing not only her but himself as well.
After everything that they had been through, Darien knew that Serena was the only one for him, and because of that he had to do this. Raye knew what was going on and though she knew that this could end the most important friendship of her life she could not refuse her help to Darien.
Andrew looked at Darien and sighed. "Dare, I know that you love her, so why don't you just ditch the trash hooked onto your arm and go after her. You know that she will forgive you for cheating on her with that." Andrew said motioning to Raye as if she were some type of post disease.
"You don't get it Andrew and you never will." Darien said softly as he looked at Raye. "Come on muffin, let's go home."
As Darien turned to leave Mina grabbed his wrist. This was the first time that she had been near him in a month and she wasn't going to let it go that easily. "Darien, how dare you! Serena loved you and you cheat on her with Raye? Have you even returned any of Serena's phone calls? Ever think that she has something to tell you? I bet you just don't care what she has to say as long as your dick is implanted into a nice warm craves. You are so damn lucky that I promised her I wouldn't tell you, because that promise is the only thing keeping me from ripping your head off your body and shoving it so far up your-"
"MINA!" Amy exclaimed. "Don't talk like that!" she said taking a step forward so she was in front of Darien and Raye. "Why wait." She said as she punched him in the face. "That's what you get for getting Serena pregnant and then leaving her for that slut. And Raye you are no better! Serena was your best friend how could you!"
Darien looked at Amy is shock. "Serena is pregnant?! Why didn't she tell me?" he demanded.
"Because you are a self-centered asshole that left her the day she found out. Married six months cheated for ten. I don't understand why she even wants to stay with you when she could have a good man like Seiya who loves her and sends her love letters that even make me blush!" Mina yelled.
Raye looked at her ex friends and sighed. "You're lying. If Serena were really pregnant she would have told him herself. Darien don't believe a damn word these two sorry excuses are saying. We both know Serena would have found a way to tell you if she were. Come on let's get the hell out of here and go somewhere that wants the two of us around." And with that Raye grabbed Darien's arm and literally pulled him out of the Arcade.
Andrew looked at Mina and Amy. "Serena is really pregnant?" The two girls nodded sadly. "Well that explains why she has only been drinking juice and water the past month."
"Yeah it does…" came a voice from behind them.
Mina turned to see who the new arrival was. Her eyes stumbled across a tall girl with long brown hair tied up in a pony tail. "Lita, have you come to protect that skank of a friend Raye?" she said with venom in her voice.
"I didn't know that Serena was going to have a baby." She looked at Mina and Amy in earnest sadness. "Raye and Darien made it sound as if she didn't love him anymore and that she was just being spiteful. They also said that they never consummated their marriage. What was I supposed to do girls, you both know that I cannot choose, and I haven't as of yet. They are both my friends, and I love them with everything I have. Please don't make me choose. I told Raye this already and she hasn't made me she just said that I am my own person."
"Lita, Serena didn't make us choose either you know, but we are sticking to her because she needs us and she is in the right." Andrew said. "Plus no offence to Darien, but Raye is not who he is supposed to be with, and we all know that, even you know that deep down."
"I know Andy, but if he is willing to blow Serena off like that for Raye don't you think that there are true feelings between them?" she asked.
"Unless she put an enchantment on him…" Mina said softly liking the idea that she did more and more. It was a possible explanation for why he so quickly left Serena in the first place.
"She didn't." Lita said honestly. "And believe me I would know if she had. She is not the only one who is a priestess. I did an incantation on Darien to undue anything that Raye put on him before I took her side. I too thought it was a bit fishy that Darien suddenly had feelings for Raye as well. After nothing changed I realized that this was all them with no magic involved. I am sorry to disappoint you." Lita looked down sorrowfully and then stared at the floor as she spoke. "I know I haven't been the best of a friend, but you guys are still my friends and I am sorry that we are having such a problem with each other at the moment, but I want us to still be friends even if we are on different sides of the playing field. Do you think that we can do that?" she asked looking up at them all.
"Oh Lita," Amy said walking to her and giving her a hug. "We never said that we weren't friends, and we will always be friends. Don't forget that." And with that the girls went to get a booth so that they could talk and eat some lunch.
