Chapter 8: Can't lose you now
Hospital...
Serena sat in the waiting room off to herself. While her friends sat on the other side of the waiting room watching her. They sat there waiting for Darien to come out of surgery. She couldn't loose him, not now, not ever. She wanted him to hold her and tell her everything would be alright, like he had done the night Seyia had attacked her. Tears streamed down her already tear stained cheeks. After about three hours the doctor finally came out to the waiting room. Serena's friends had fallen asleep, but she had stayed awake. "Miss Tskunio?" The doctor asked as he appoarched her. "Yeah?" She said as she sat up. He sat down next to her. "We have removed the the bullet...he has lost a large amount of blood...and the bullet had punctured one of his lungs causing it to collapse..He is stable for now, but he is still very critical. I am going to have to be honest with you, I don't expect him to make it through the night." He spoke softly. Serena's heart sank at hearing the last part and a new set of tears formed in the corners of her eyes. "May I see him please?" She pleaded. He nodded and led her down a long white hall way. They went through a set of double doors and turned right. They walked half way down the hall and stopped infront of a big brown door. "Take your time." The doctor said as he left Serena standing in front of the door. She took a deep breath and slowly walked into his room. She looked over towards the bed. Darien lay in the bed so still and a tube was coming out of his mouth that was hooked up to a machine that gave him oxygen. She slowly walked over to his beside and sat down. She took his hand gently in hers and kissed it softly.
"Please stay with me..." She whispered into his ear. "I can't live without you, Darien...You are my everything and without you I am nothing. Please don't die on me." She pleaded as she broke down into tears. She climbed into the bed next to him and cruled up underneath his arm and laid her head down on his shoulder. "I love you with every beat of my heart." She whispered into his ear before laying her head down and falling asleep. Serena woke up to alarms going off in Dariens room. She sat up as the doctor and nurses came rushing in. "Whats going on?" She asked frantic as a nurse pulled her away from Darien. "Darien! No!" She screamed as the nurse pulled her out of the room. Serena's screams could be heard from the waiting room. Lita, Mina, Ami, and Rei got up and ran down the hall to their friend. Serena fell to her knees crying. "Darien...you cant leave me, you cant!" She cried as she rocked herself back and forth. The girls reached Serena. Mina pulled Serena into her arms and held. her. "Shh..Everything is going to be okay." Mina whispered trying to comfort her friend. "I can't loose him, Mina, I just can't." She cried. "Shh..try not to think about the worst, Serena." She said. With in minutes the beeping stopped and the doctor walked out of the room and faced the girls. Serena looked up at him. "He's stable again, but it don't look good, Miss Tskunio." He said as he turned and walked away. Mina helped Serena up off the floor and back into Darien's room with the girls close behind. Serena pulled from Mina's embrace and ran to Darien's bedside. "Darien Shields, you are not allowed to leave me...I will not let you die on me!" She said in anger as she slammed her fist down on the bed as tears streamed down her cheeks.
A week later... Darien slowly opened his eyes. The room was bright and hurt his eyes so he closed them for a moment and reopened them. His throat hurt from the tube that was in it. He felt someone stirr next to him taking his mind of the tube in his throat. He looked down to find his sleeping princess next to him. Tears formed in the corner of his eyes as he watched her sleep next to him. He gently squeezed her with the arm the was wrapped around her. Serena stirred and groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. "Darien.." She spoke softly. When her vision became clear she gasped. "Darien!" She shrieked wakeing the girls. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she leaned up and kissed his forehead. "I can't believe your awake." She cried. Lita got up and ran to get a nurse. Tears fell down the side of Dariens face. "Your are not allowed to scare me like that ever again!" She said sternly but with a smile. Lita walked back in the room with a nurse. The nurse walked over to Darien's bedside and checked his moniters. When she was finished she turned to look at Darien. "Everything looks good, I am going to go page the doctor and we will see about getting that tube out." She said with a smile. Darien nodded and turned to look back at Serena as the nurse exited the room. "Serena, we will be back in a few hours." Rei said as they stood up. Serena stood up and walked over to her friends. "Thanks you guys!" She said as she hugged them. "We are always here for you Serena." Mina said as they walked out of the hospital room. The Doctor soon entered the room. "Well Darien, I have to say I had my doubts about you ever waking up." Darien looked at the doctor. "Well lets get that tube out." He said as he bent over and grabbed ahold of the tube. "Now this is going to be really uncomfortable." He warned as he pulled it out. Darien coughed for a moment. "Okay well we are going to keep you at least a couple more days to moniter you and make sure everything is going okay." He said as he walked out of the room.
Darien turned his attention to Serena. She touched his face before she placed her lips on his. He kissed her back and pulled her close to him. "I love you.." He whispered. "I love you too.." She said as she started to cry. Darien looked into her eyes. "I was so afraid, I would never hear you say them words again, never to beable to kiss you or lay in your arms." She cried a little harder. "Shh...it's okay now.." He whispered. "I am so sorry I scared you, but I couldn't just sit back and watch him harm you...I would rather die protecting you then to watch you be hurt or worse." He said softly as he whipped her tears away. "Your my everything Serena..your my family, my best friend, my lover and I hope someday you'll be more, I want to grow old with you." Serena smiled. "Good, cause your never allowed to leave me, I can't live with out you, your all I have now, your all I need." She said with a smile. Darien smiled and starred into her beautiful sapphire eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." He said as he kissed her
