The next chapter is here. Soz it took a while, my dad wanted to mess up the computer, thus destroying what I had written. By the way, it's not Andrew from the programme, thus, its not Darien's best friend.
Thanks for the reviews so far.
Well, read and I hope you'll enjoy.
Chapter 4
"Aren't you going to introduce your friend to your boyfriend?" He continued.
***
"Andrew! Hi.... Erm... yeah...." Serena stuttered.
"Well?" He urged a little too impatiently. "Who's your friend Serena?"
"Him? This...this is... Darien. He...we...went to school together." She was trying to make sure she didn't say anything that could cause trouble. She brought up her shaking hand and used it to beckon Darien to get up and come over.
Reluctantly, a heart broken Darien got up and walked over to them.
"Darien, this is Andrew...." She hesitated and looked away from Darien and into Andrew's evil green eyes. "...My boyfriend." Tears were welling up in her eyes and her vision was becoming a blur. `Why must it be this way? Why can't I let Andrew go and be with Darien? I can't stay around here but I can't just leave. Oh, what am I to do?' She looked back round to the lake so she wasn't facing either of the two men and she let the tears run down her face. She quickly wiped them away and held her emotions in, hoping it would cause less pain, but I just made her feel worse. She turned back around. The men were watching her, Darien concerned and Andrew impatiently.
"Well? Aren't you two going to shake hands?" She remarked wishing for the day to speed up and end so she could go home and sleep and never awaken, but stay in the land where dreams are real and there is never one single worry or bad thought to come to mind.
They looked at each other, hatred in both pairs of eyes but one was also holding grief, whereas the other held his hatred with a deep hidden evil grin that could only be seen if you looked close enough. Andrew lifted his hand towards Darien, his evil grin now seen on his mouth.
"Darien? Nice to meet you. A friend of Serena's is a friend of mine." Andrew sneered.
Darien just simpered and gave a short smile back and nodded. Serena didn't like the idea of them meeting but now it was impossible to do anything about. She looked at each one. Both very different from the other. In look, and in character. Andrew's hair was a very light brown, nearly blond, compared to Darien's and Darien's eyes had a sparkle whereas Andrew's were plain. Andrew was loud, rough, and immature but Serena had always thought he still showed he cared, and sometimes he was nice, but others-. Darien was sweet, sensitive, caring, funny... `Why? Why? Why? How do I get these thoughts out of my head? It's spinning around and I can't stop it. My feelings are too strong for Darien for me to let Andrew hurt him. If I can speak to he alone then I'll tell him that I don't love him and he shouldn't me. It should keep him away and Andrew wont hurt him then, but it will break my heart to tell Darien so.'
Andrew saw that Serena wasn't looking, so he leaned forward and whispered to Darien, "She's mine, you know. If I find out anything about you touching her, I'll hunt you down like a tiger does a rabbit and I'll take pleasure in devouring you all up! Understand?"
"As clear as ice." Was Darien's whisper back. Right at that moment he felt like killing him first but was distracted by the town's church bell ringing just around the corner. It was 3 `o' clock.
"I better go, I've got lots of unpacking to do at my flat. It was nice seeing you again Serena. And nice meeting you too Andrew. See ya later." Darien's sudden want to depart scared Serena. She longed to leave with him but she knew she couldn't. He walked off, and turned round once to give a slight wave then was off in the distance.
"He was nice." Andrew stated, looking curiously at Serena, seeing if he could make out her real feelings. She looked in the direction that he left. "Yes...he is." She returned, almost to herself. She looked back to Andrew. He now took a very caring and loving form. It was when he was like this that Serena felt that he really did care, her mind still held Darien, but now she felt guilty, upset, scare, and angry with Andrew. She didn't feel she trusted him anymore. How could she?
"Look Serena, I'm sorry about last night. I was drunk and irritated; I had had a bad day. Please forgive me."
"It's not as easy as that. I can't trust you. Not after that. You may have been drunk but it still doesn't make it right."
Serena walked away. `How can I feel love for him still?'
"Serena.... Please don't run off. I want us to talk."
"You've said what you wanted to say."
"No, not everything."
"Speak then, I'm not stopping you." She stopped walking and turned around, this time showing no emotion, she just stared at him blankly, waiting.
***
As Darien reached his flat, he unlocked the door and walked in. He dropped his coat and bag on the floor and walked into his bedroom. He picked up a photograph, laid on the bed with it and tears ran down his face while looking at it.
`Those where the days. Happy and carefree. No troubles at all. The happiest of my live. If only I hadn't of gone to Australia. If only.'
He dropped the picture and held his head in his hands.
A picture of Darien and Serena, just a few years back. Holding each other tight, not wanting to let go. Wanting to stay there for eternity.
"Serena...why did it have to end up this way?"
***
Andrew looked at Serena. He could tell she was going to be hard to win over this time, especially after Darien. `Damn him! Why did he have to show up today? I better be careful about him being back. If the stories are true then I better watch my back. In the mean time, I better charm Serena one way or the other, and it's going to be very hard.
"Look Serena, I love you-"
"And I do you, but that didn't stop you."
"I love you, and I will never do anything to harm you again. I couldn't bare the thought of losing you."
Serena was losing her ability to not be twisted by his sad features and his apologetic words.
"How do you know that you'll never do it again. You can't tell the future."
"I can control myself though." He walked over to her, taking her hand. "I truly promise with all my heart. I love you..."
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. This is usually when she agrees to go back.
"But I cant-"
He leant down and kissed her before she could finish her sentence. She had weakened and let her soul be taken away and to be hurt again. She was screaming inside, but couldn't control her physical state anymore. He pulled away, still holding onto her hands and kneeled down, he went into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet covered box, and opened it, giving it to Serena. Her eyes widened at the gold ring with gems of ruby all around it.
"Serena, marry me?"
