Chapter 7

"Can you believe we are hours away from arriving in the Caribbean?" Ilene said excitedly.

"Yeah, hard to believe." Serena replied softly, quickly turning towards the window ending any conversation her mother might want to have.

She returned her attention back to her ipod. It seemed somehow fitting that this song, of all songs her ipod contained, would be the first one to play as soon as she put it on shuffle. She turned up the volume and let herself drown in the music.

"In the beginning, I tried to warn you
You play with fire, its gonna burn you
And here we are now, in the same situation,
You never listen, I never listen
Now I am thinking of a way that I can make an escape
It's got me caught up in a web and my hearts the prey
Do you really wanna throw your heart away, away, away?

Now you've back tracked
You're running away cause it just happened again and you don't want it to end
Trying your best to not let yourself go cold, so cold.
Now you think about the things you thought you wanted to say
But when you open up your mouth it don't come out that way
Are you really gonna throw your heart away?

Everybody's hurt somebody before
Everybody's been hurt by somebody before
You can change but you will always come back for more
Its a game and we are all just victims of love.
Don't try to fight it, victims of love
You can't decide it, victims of love, victims of love
You never listen, I never listen
Now I am thinking of a way that I can make an escape
It's got me caught up in a web and my hearts the prey
Do you really wanna throw your heart away, away, away?"

"Please fasten your seatbelts. We will be landing shortly. Remember to maintain seated until the plane comes to a complete stop. Thank-you."

"Sweetheart buckle up, we are arriving and turn off your ipod."

Serena put on her seatbelt and waited. Once the plane came to a complete stop, she took off her seatbelt and started getting her things together.

"Ready?" her mom asked

"I think so."

"Ok then, let's go."

So they headed down the aisle and into the airport. Once there they looked for their baggage. After making sure they had all their things, they headed outside to get a taxi.

"What hotel are we staying at?" Serena asked.

"You'll see when we get there."

"Why can't you just tell me now?"

"It's a surprise."

"Why?"

"Because. Now be quiet and get your things. The taxi is here."

So Serena did just that. She did not say a single thing the whole ride there. She simply looked out her window not really seeing anything at all.

Serena could feel someone shaking her and calling her name. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to get her bearings. She looked at her ipod and noticed that somewhere between the ride from the airport to the hotel it had died.

'Figures. Just when I need something the most it dies on me.'

"C'mon sweetie, we're here. Get up."

Serena turned and looked at her mom with a blank expression.

"Well don't just sit there, get out."

Serena did as she was told and got out of the car. As she looked around, it all came back to her. The fight between her friends, her mom's idea of going to the Caribbean, the idea of killing Andrew when she got back for telling, Darien kissing Rei, the airport…Oh yes, she remembered everything now…great.

'I have a headache, remembering things like that are so not good for me…I can't believe I blanked out like that. I so need a long nap…'

"Serena honey, are you okay? You don't look so good."

"What? Oh yeah, I just have this small headache. No big mom. So this is where we are staying?"

For the first time Serena looked at the hotel where she and her mom where going to stay.

"Yep. Well, what do you think?"

"It's great mom. How did you find rooms? Isn't it usually full here?"

"Oh, I have my ways."

"I'm sure you do mom." Serena said through her laughter.

"C'mon let's check in."

In their Rooms

"Here we are." said Ilene.

"I guess so."

"Well, here's your key."

"What? I have my own room?"

"Yes. This is your room. Mine is next door. I figured it would be better this way. Don't you agree?"

"I guess but-"

"Don't worry sweetie, you just relax. I will be in my room. I might just take a small nap, I'm pretty tired. But you go ahead and do what you want okay?"

"Okay"

Ilene walked out of the room and closed the door softly behind her. Once her mom was gone, Serena looked around her room. It was pretty big with a full size bed and a tv in the center. A closet and a cabinet for her clothes and, of course there was a bathroom. It had a great view of the beach and the hotel's pool. All in all, it was a pretty decent room and the best part was that it was hers. She stood there for awhile and soon said to herself, "What am I going to do now?"

"I guess I can go to sleep for awhile like my mom…no but that would just make me waste a whole day. Maybe I should go to the pool for awhile. Yeah that sounds good. I'll take my sunglasses and my ipod and- Oh wait my ipod is dead. I guess I'm going to have to do without it."

And so Serena took her bikini from her suitcase and changed. She grabbed a towel and a shirt to wear over her bikini and headed out her room.

At the Pool

'Mmmh where should I sit? There's practically no room..aha! Bingo.'

She headed towards an empty seat next to a small table with a parasol. She put her towel on top of the seat and sat down.

'Shoot! I forgot to put on sunscreen. Darn. I don't want to go all the way back to my room though…'

She looked around, trying to decide what to do, when she saw some sunscreen on the chair next to her. She eyes it for awhile and looked every which way making sure no one saw her, before deciding to use it.

What she did not know, was that someone had watching her from the moment she arrived.

'I cant believe I'm going to do this but what they don't know won't hurt them. besides it's just a little bit and whoever it belongs to isn't here so there.'

She started to apply some sunscreen on herself when she heard someone say, "Do you make it a habit to use other people's sunscreen when they aren't around?"

She turned around in the direction of the voice only to find she couldn't really tell who it was because they were facing the sun making it difficult to tell how they looked like..

"What?"

"The sunscreen you're using."

She looked at the sunscreen in her hand and blushed.

"Oh. So this is your sunscreen?"

"No."

"Then how do you know this isn't my sunscreen?"

"I just figured it wasn't yours because you looked around before you actually used it."

'He saw me?! Where was he? I didn't even see him, let alone realize he was looking at me.'

"Well it is mine ok. And for your information the only reason I was looking around is because I was admiring the place. So why don't you mind your own business next time alright?"

He simply chuckled and said, "I'm sure you were."

And with that he walked away.

'Jerk. God, what's it to him if I use it, it isn't even his sunscreen to begin with. Creep.'

She continued applying the sunscreen and once she finished, she returned it to its proper place. She put on her sunglasses, closed her eyes, and lay down.

While Serena was asleep, the young man came back to get his towel and sunscreen. He looked at her for awhile and simply smiled as he walked away.

Serena awoke to the sound of her mother's laughter. She looked around and sure enough there was her mom, talking to a guy who looked strangely familiar. She stood up and headed their way.

"Hey mom, what are you doing here?"

"Oh hi sweetie, I was looking for you when I ran into this nice young man who helped me find you. I was just going to head over there but I had to hear how you two met first. Please continue Jason."

"As I was saying-"

"Mom, I'm sure Jason has things to do. I'll be more than happy to tell you later."

"On the contrary, I have absolutely nothing to do today. So it really isn't a problem."

"Oh but it is, I wouldn't feel right taking up your time by having you tell my mother about how we met, when you can be doing so many other things. Like I said, I would be more than happy to tell my mom the story."

"Thank you for your concern, but I really don't mind."

"Well, I do. I would prefer it if I told her. Don't you agree mom?"

Serena turned to loot at her mom, only to find that her mom was no longer there. Unknown to them, Ilene had left quite some time ago. After observing the two she decided to leave them alone thinking that perhaps it might just work out after all…

"Nice going. Now she's gone."

She started to walk away when Jason said, "Wait. I'll help you look for her."

"No thanks. You've done enough."

"Look I think we got off to a wrong start. How about we start over, yeah?"

Serena looked at him and said, "Sure. I'd like that."

"Good. My name is Jason. How do you do?" he said with a bow.

Serena laughed while she replied, "How do you do? My name is Serena."

"Nice to meet you Serena."

"Nice to meet you too."

"Now, how about we go find your mom."

"Sounds good to me."

Later that evening

"Where exactly are you going?"

"I don't know. Jason said there was this nice restaurant nearby and asked if I wanted to check it out. I figured it was okay to go, you know maybe it will help being in a different environment with different people."

"Well, I hope you have fun, but be careful okay?"

"Yes mom, don't wait up ok. Bye. Love you!"

She grabbed her coat and walked out her room and headed towards the lobby where Jason was already waiting for her.

"You look absolutely beautiful."

"Stop it. You're going to make me blush." Serena said while playfully pushing him away.

"Ah but see, when you blush you look even more gorgeous. C'mon let's go."

He grabbed hold of her hand and guided her out the hotel, while Serena let herself betaken away to wherever it was she was going.

They arrived at this beautiful restaurant near the ocean. Jason and Serena were seated in a table were they could see the whole ocean in all its greatness.

"Wow. Isn't it beautiful?" asked Serena, as she looked at the sunset making the view look even more majestic.

"Yes. Yes it is."

She turned to look at him and said, "You aren't even looking."

"What?"

"You aren't even looking at the sunset at all. What were you staring at?"

"Nothing. Forget it. So what do you want to eat?"

"I don't know, do you recommend anything?"

"Actually yes, I'll order for you, sound good?"

"No problem."

The waiter came and Jason ordered their food. As the waited for the food to come both of them talked about their lives and what they were doing in the Caribbean. Throughout the evening Serena got to know Jason pretty well and not until she got back to the hotel did she realized that not once had she thought about Darien, Rei, or any of her friends at all.

Well there you have it. Hopefully you guys liked it. Please review and tell me what you guys think!! I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again but just hang in there, I'll try to update as soon as possible but it proves difficult every time. Just don't give up hope!!
