Chapter Seven
Two weeks later...
He walked into the cemetary with a bouquet of white roses in his hands. He stopped in front of a large silver tombstone and knelt down in front of it as a flash back ran through his mind..
Flashe back...
The paramedics rushed through the emergancy room doors with a young woman on a stretcher. Darien ran along side the strecher on wheels as he held her hand tightly. "Serena please stay with me..." He said softly through his tears as he stared down at her. Her eyes were closed and her face was pale as they made their way to another set of doors. "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to wait here." A paramedic said softly as he pushed Darien back.
Darien stood there feeling helpless as he watched them wheel her through the doors. "Don't leave me..." He whispered to himself...

"I know it's been a little while since I last visited and I am sorry. So much has been going on, but I thought I would come by and let you know how things are going and to thank you for everything you have given me. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would be where I am at today." He paused as he gathered the rest of his thoughts and smiled slightly down at the tombstone as another flash back entered his mind.
Flashback...
Hours had passed and Darien stood in the waiting room, where a nurse had directed him to after stitching up the gash on his forhead. He ran a hand through his thick black hair as he paced around the room. 'Why is it taking so long?' He wondered.
"Mr. Shields?" A familiar voice asked as he entered the room. Darien stopped pacing and turned to face the doctor. "Dr. Edwards, how is she?" He asked. "Please sit down son." The doctor directed as he approached Darien. Darien shook his head in disagreement. "Is she okay?" He asked. The doctor sighed tiredly. "We were able to retrieve the bullet sucessfully, but then we lost her.." The doctor paused.
Darien felt his world come crashing down as he collapsed into a chair next to him. How could he let this happen? "Just as I was about to call the time of death.." The doctor began again and Darien looked up at him. "The moniter that was monitering her heart came back to life...I don't understand it myself, but it's a miracle she's alive.."
End of flashback
"Thanks Sam...Thanks for calling me that night Serena went missing, I truely believe if it hadn't been for that night I wouldn't have had the courage to tell her how I feel. I also want to thank you for sending her back to me..I don't know how or why, but I know deep down you are the reason for her, returning to me and I thank you so much..I miss you man." Darien said as he closed his eyes for a moment as he placed his hand on the tombstone. "Serena sent me with these roses for you, she wanted to come and see you, but I insisted she stay home and rest." He laid the roses down next to the tombstone and stood up.
"You'll be happy to know that your father got life in prison with out parole for your murder, the attempted murder on your sister and for rapping her. She is doing so much better now with that behind her, I am starting to see the old Serena again." He said as he continued to stare down at the tombstone. "Well I better be going, I don't want her to worry..We will visit soon, I promise. Good bye Sam." Darien said as he turned and walked away from the tombstone.
He entered the apartment and hour later and closed the door behind him. He took his shoes off and heard music comming from the bedroom. He smiled as he walked towards the bedroom, when he didn't see her anywhere he walked further into the bedroom and heard her singing from with in the bathroom.
She stood infront of the mirror as she brushed her hair and sang to the song that was playing. One she thought that reminded her of him. (You found Me, Kelly Clarkson) He leaned on the door frame and stared at her with his arms crossed over his chest. She saw his reflection through the mirror and turned her head to look over at him. She smiled as she put the brush on the counter and walked over to him.
"I didn't hear you come in.." She said softly as she placed her hands on his chest. He uncrossed his arms and wrapped the around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "How long have you been standing there?" She asked. "Not long, I just got back, how are you feeling?" He asked. "Better." She said as she laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his back as she hugged him tightly. "Good." He said with a smile as he returned the hug. "I love you.." She whispered as she closed her eyes. "I love you too, Sere." He said as he placed a kiss on the top of her head...
The end!
A/N I hope you enjoyed this story! Please leave me Reviews and tell me what you think! Lyrics to You found Me By Kelly clarkson..
Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened my eyes
To What it's like
When everything's right
I Can't believe
You Found me
When no one else was lookin
How did you know just where I would Be?
Yeah you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
So Here we are
that's pretty far
when you think of where we've been
no going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
Youre by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe
You Found me
When no one else was lookin
How did you know just where I would Be?
Yeah you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And you showed me where I belong
You found me
You found me
When no one else was lookin
How did you know?
How did you Know?
You Found me
When no one else was lookin
How did you know just where I would Be?
Yeah you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
(You Found Me)
(When no one else was lookin)
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
and the things in between
You found me
You found me
