Secrets Untold

Ch.3/Brother-sister lechers

Serena walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, still full of rage.

"Hey Serena, you're still up?"

She turned around and saw Collin behind her. He was in his boxers and was still sunburned from last week's beach party. "I couldn't sleep, bad dream," Serena lied and turned away from Collin.

Collin sighed. "A nightmare about mom again, huh?" He asked sadly.

She turned to him and nodded, "Sort-a."

Collin walked up to Serena and put a hand on her shoulder. "I know it's still painful to not know what happened to mom, but Serena, she may never come back and we may never find out what happened. It's life and we need to face the facts."

"I know but…" Serena paused. Should I tell him what really happened or should I leave it alone? She thought, looking out the kitchen window. "but if you knew something about it, would you want to know? I mean, wouldn't you want to know if she was safe or not?"

Collin took her hand and muttered, "Honestly, I think it's better left unsaid. I think that our lives are better if we don't know. I have a great girlfriend, and you have a great boyfriend. We both have good friends and a good family."

You mean I had a great boyfriend. I know I have to tell him, but something's holding me back.

Collin looked out the window as if pondering something. "You know Serena," he said sadly, "I worry about mom's whereabouts too. But you have to remember that she left our family years ago. I'm not trying to sound insensitive or anything but there are better things to worry about. So try not to let this whole thing get to your head, okay?"

Serena took a deep breath, knowing he was right. "Okay Collin, I'll try not to think about it too much."

He smiled at his sister and nodded. "Thanks." Then he walked out of the kitchen to his room.

The next morning, Serena walked to school, wondering if she should tell the other Daughters about what happened that night.

"Hey, chica, wait up!"

Serena stopped and looked behind her. It was Jimena. When she finally caught up, they started walking. "So, how are things going, Serena?" Jimena asked.

"Me… Oh, just fine… nothing happened over the weekend." Serena put on one of her fake smiles. Oh yeah, I bet that was convincing, she thought sarcastically.

Jimena gave her a concerned look and tilted her head. "You don't seem fine, is everything okay at home or is there a problem with Stanton?"

I swear, she can read me like a book. They waited for an approaching car to pass, then continued.

She took a deep breath then muttered, "Yeah, something happened this weekend with Stanton and I. So… I decided that I'm going to break up with him."

Jimena's eye's widened, she was shocked. "WHAT? Are you serious? Vanessa, Catty, and I have been trying to get you two to break up since you started dating, and when we're finally okay with it, you decide to break up with him? What's the reason?"

"Well, you know, he's the Prince of Night, I'm a Daughter of the Moon, it doesn't really mix well. And besides, we're two completely different people, it wasn't going to last long anyway."

"Okay, girl, if that's what you want."

They were now in the security line waiting to get inside. Yeah, it's what I want, Serena thought sadly.

Before she went inside the school, she thought she saw a dark figure floating in the corner of her eye. Serena turned towards that direction, but only to find that there was just a bunch of Seniors talking to there friends.

Serena sighed, tuned around, and went in La Brea High. As she walked to her class, she promised herself that she would never forgive Stanton for taking her mother away from her.
