I woke up late, Darien had fallen asleep on the chair besides my bed. I smiled at him and realised I'd been woken by a knock on the door. I opened it to see Andrew, When had he gotten back?

"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"Actually im feeling better" I said and I honestly was, like being near Darien had stopped them.

"Oh that's good! I just wanted to check on you" He whispered than he caught a glimpse of a sleeping Darien "Looks like he beat me to it." he added.

"Huh, Oh. Yeah he popped in earlier than I feel asleep, I guess he stayed to watch me." I mumbled , embarrassed.

"Your good for him, he wont admit it but you are" Andrew said.

My face blazed "Err.. We're not…" just the thought made my head blow up.

Andrew smiled sadly "Its hurts but im glad, you two are obviously made for each other. So stop denying it , one of these days your wake up and realise you love him. When that happens it will be too late, so tell him now. You do love him don't you?" he asked.

I blushed but some deeper part of me knew I could trust Andrew with my true feeling. I shook my head "I don't know, I honestly don't know. When I think about what love should be like , I think about the warmth I get when im with Darien. Then I remember that its Darien and I think im crazy for feeling that way. But im pretty sure I am crazy so there's nothing new there. I don't know. Im just a big old confused mess"


I lay with my eyes tightly shut, wishing I couldn't hear what they were saying. Serena was trusting Andrew…confiding in him, so I really don't want to be here right now listening in. Also I couldn't handle knowing her true feelings because then I might talk myself out of what I have to do, and I can't do that. I hummed to myself as they talked try hard not to listen but her words reaching and wrapping around my heart.

"Is there anyone else you feel this way about?" Andrew asked her.

My breath caught in my throat "Well I used to think there was, he's someone who always saves me and I trust him but…things feel different now." She mumbled forcing my heart to beat so loudly I thought it would give away the fact I'm ear wigging.

"How about you test it?" Andrew offered

"Test it, how?" She asked

"Kiss them." Andrew said and the silence that followed was worst then having her tell me she loved another.

"Kiss them…" She finally squeaked out.

"Yes, kiss the both of them and then you'll know for sure."

"I can't kiss them… I can't kiss Darien!"

I could picture Andrews shrug "It's the only way." he muttered then shut the door.


I stalked back to my bed without a single look to Darien, how can I kiss him? A kiss is something sweet and romantic, I can't… I just can't! But my eyes fell upon his sleeping lips, if I did it while he's asleep then it wouldn't really count as my first kiss would it? Before I got a chance to argue my feet had carried me across the room to the chair Darien sleep in.

Just a small kiss… I leant towards him, so close his breath warmed my shaking lips. I could taste the sweet husky-ness that is Darien. One kiss couldn't hurt, I thought as my eyes started to drift close and I closed the space between us.

"I can't…" Darien croaked.

I screamed and bolted across the room, the word Busted ringing in my head.

"I'm sorry," he said opening his eyes "It's not that I don't want too , I just can't"

"I…I…I wasn't going to do it Idiot!" I yelled throwing my pillow at his head as I buried my own under the quilt.

I kept it there until I heard his faint foot steps leave my room, as he descended he mumbled "I really am sorry."

Once he was gone I pulled my blazing head from the quilt, Why did I do that? He's bloody Darien, of course he's not going to kiss you! But he said he wanted to kiss you, he wants too… so why didn't he?


I grabbed my cape and headed for the door, I was so close to kissing her. I wanted to kiss her so bad! I could almost taste the sweet cherry of her lipstick…but I couldn't. One kiss is all it takes to have me running back in there and holding her in my arms, refusing to never let her go again. If I do that then I wont be able to do this… Maybe if I make it back from this then I'll kiss her, a proper passionate kiss that she'll remember forever. Yeah, so I better make it back! Shaking my head to clear it I headed in the direction of my demise, slipping on my mask as I went.

A/N Sorry it took so long, my internet's been down (It's been bloody hell!) anyway i hope you enjoy this chapter!
