You Will Only Break My Heart
Mistress Mina
"Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love
What have you done now!
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?"
What Have You Done? By Within Temptation

"Serena," he called, reaching and grabbing her hand to stop her escape; he had a question he needed the answer to.
She flinched away from his touch as her hand burned from the contact. It was familiar and just as soft and loving as she remembered but she still wasn't ready to accept it.
She held his gaze, blue eyes burning with curiosity.
"Will you ever forgive me?" Darien's heart stopped as he waited for her answer.
Serena bowed her head almost ashamed of her answer. "I have to; its part of my therapy." With that she fled to the safe refuge of her friends.
He nodded to himself, and then smiled, having felt her skin for the first time in 12 years. One thing about her soft hand really stood for him in his mind; the cool diamond studded gold band on her finger.
She may not have forgiven him yet but she still wore his ring and her words from all those years ago echoed in his mind, "You will be my only love for as long as I wear this ring; Yes, I will be your wife."

Serena went to picked up Andrew to go to the movies on the Tuesday night; Emma's car was already parked out the front. When Andrew opened the door and glared at her.
"What did you say to him the other day?"
Serena was confused. She couldn't remember saying anything that would provoke this reaction. "Nothing. Why?"
He opened the door and let her see the view behind him. Down the hallway Emma and Darien lay on the couch, cask of wine beside them. His hands were under her top and her tongue was in his mouth.
Serena gasped; her heart in her throat. A feeling she never thought she would feel toward Darien radiated through her body. Jealousy; the deep green shade that ate at her soul.
"They have been doing that for the past 2 hours." Andrew ducked his head. "Of all people; Her."
Serena had no idea what to say, how to act, how to react. She walked straight past them and into Lita's room. "Lita, we are going to the movies; you want to go?"
She looked up from her place on the bed, "Did you see that?"
She knew that Lita wasn't talking about the DVD she was watching. "Yeah, I am real shocked."
"Are you gonna ask them?"
"If I can get through the red wine haze of hormones."
"Well I'll go if they do; I don't want that skank getting knocked up on my couch."
Serena nodded and headed out to the lounge room swallowing the bile that was quickly accumulating in her throat. "Dare; Emma, do you wanna see a movie with us tonight?"
There was no response, just a few faint grunts and the like. Serena grabbed the drink out of Andrews hand and tipped it over them and watched them pull apart quickly.
"What do you think you are doing?" Darien looked up at her. "You got a problem Serena?"
"Yeah; I asked a question. I do not like being ignored."
"No. We do not want to go to the movies." He stated before leaning back into kiss Emma.
Serena threw her hands in the air. "Thank you; that is all I needed from you."
She walked back into Lita's room. "Come on. Just ignore them. Leave them to it."
Serena was furious. Almost shaking with frustration and anger she tried to swallow her pride and just leave him and Emma. If that's what he wanted then by all means let him have her.
She slammed the door on her way out Andrew and Lita ahead of her. It wasn't until the door slammed that Darien thought about what he was doing. He just wanted her to feel as jealous and miserable as he did.
He drank the last of the cask and tried to convince himself of what he was about to do. "Come on," he called pulling Emma into his bedroom.

It was 3 in the morning when Serena's phone rang. She had been sitting on her bed sulking; and when she saw his name on the caller ID she wanted to just leave it ring but when it started up the 4 time she answered it.
"What do you want?" She sighed, her anger leaving her as she heard his voice.
"I am so sorry."
"What have you got to be sorry for? You called off everything between us."
"I just wanted to hurt you. You hurt me with Matt."
She ran her fingers through her blonde hair contemplating what to say to him. "I'm sorry too then, I didn't mean for that to happen."
"I want you back, I want this back…"
"I don't think that will work."
"Serena, please."
"Go to sleep Darien call me in the morning." She hung up the phone, sleep was definitely not gonna be happening tonight she needed to think about her options now.

Emma listened to the phone call. She had had him but he still wanted her. She now knew the extent of their relationship and if everyone else was in the dark about it, then it was time for her to spread some light on them.
--
Emma walked out in the morning and poured herself some breakfast. "Morning Andrew."
He just grunted at her.
"Man what was up with Serena last night? I can't believe how jealous she is. I really wonder if that crush she had in high school is really gone. She claims it is, but that was a really jealous and possessive last night."
"She doesn't like him anymore they are just friends." Andrew poured himself a coffee and went back to his paper though his interest was peaked.
"Yet they always seem to spend a lot of time alone together. Maybe its not just her, maybe he might like her too, but he is with me now."
This had Andrew thinking. It was all Emma wanted. All it took was a seed of doubt to kill everything from friendship to true love.
