Serena awoke with a start, a tapping having woken her from a deep slumber. She sat up and looked around with sleepy eyes her ears catching the soft tapping against her window. Serena rubbed her eyes and let out a yawn, smacking her lips like a small child and turned towards her window and let out a gasp seeing who was doing the tapping.
"Darien what are you-"
"Let me in, please?" He pleaded placing his palm against the window and giving it a light push. Serena could see that he was close to falling off the roof so she climbed over and unlatched the window.
"Darien what are you doing here? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Serena said in a heated whisper. Darien pulled the window open and crawled in. When he was all the way in and safely away from the edge of the roof he let out a sigh of relief.
"I had to see you…I miss you, Serena." Serena was standing beside her bed crossing her arms and letting her lower lip jut out. "Oh well you really should have thought about that before you cheated on me…" She thought her arms tightening across her chest.
He let out a sigh, placing his face in his hands. "I know I screwed up big time, but for the past few days I've thought about nothing else but you and me- us." Serena could feel her heart skip a beat, but she wasn't going to dive into his arms and let him back in her life so easily.
She took a few deep breaths, the silence to silent. "You hurt me, Darien."
"I know." He said hanging his head low in shame. Serena shook her head, her body shaking with an emotion she thought she was past…
"No, you don't know," She said her voice shaky with tears she would not let fall. "you broke my heart, Darien…you pulled it out and stomped on it. You treated our love as if it were nothing!" Serena was now close to screaming, having to remind herself that her family was with them in the house sleeping the night away and she didn't need to wake them…she didn't want to. Darien rest his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands.
"I know."
"Then why did you do it?" She asked the tears now slipping past her barriers and down her cheeks. "Why did you risk it all on some fleeting romance with Raye because I know you don't love her, not like that." Darien couldn't argue with her. Serena was right…he wasn't in love with Raye. He was just…just-
"Well are you going to answer me, or not?" Darien head shot up and he looked her directly in the eye.
"What?"
"I said are you going to answer my question, or are you just to much a chicken to do that to…?" Darien sat there trying to figure out why he did it. Risking the love he had for Serena, the real love when the reason for everything shot through his head.
"I was scared." Serena eyes couldn't have gotten anymore wider then they did right at that moment.
"What?" She asked completely stunned to the spot at his answer. "What do you mean you were scared? Scared of what? Me?" She asked her voice lowing with every word she spoke. He shook his head.
"No- I don't know. I guess I just thought my life was over before I even lived." Serena blinked her eyes and then sucked in a breath of fresh air.
"What in the hell are you talking about?" Darien knew that she wouldn't understand because Serena isn't the brights bulb in the bunch.
He let out a sigh. "You know when we learned about all that was going to happen in the future," Serena nodded. "well I thought that my fate had been decided for me, I had no say in the matter." Serena arms grew slack and felt herself grow cold.
"So you cheated on me because you wanted a say in your fate?" She asked coldly. He gave a simple nod.
"I wanted to make a point. I wanted to say that 'Hey look things could change so my future couldn't be set to what it was suppose to be.' I just wanted to make a point…" He said lamely. Serena blinked, then sucked in a breath.
"So you did all this to show fate a lesson?" She asked on the edge of laughing. Darien looked up at her and felt himself becoming confused.
"Yes." He said simply and let his head drop down and hang limply. "So he did all this because he felt as if he were being forced to be with me…?" She thought, then couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"Serena…?" Darien said looking up at Serena as laughed, hugging her sides.
"Darien."
"Yes?" Darien said as he stood up and walked over to her about to pull her to him and never let go- but stopped as Serena words left her mouth.
"T-that is the the st-stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Darien blinked blankly at her and then pulled away from her.
"I thought for sure you would understand…" Serena wiped at her as her laughter died away.
"Oh I do understand and like I said before, you are a selfish bastard who thinks of no one but himself." Darien mouth fell open and he couldn't stop himself from looking at her gaped mouthed.
"What-"
"Did you kiss Raye?" She questioned. Darien crossed his arms over his chest.
"You know I did." He muttered.
Serena nodded and said, "Yes I do," She mocked his crossing of his arms and drew her's over her own chest. "Did you kiss her like you loved her?" Darien didn't answer…he couldn't.
Serena cocked a smile. "Come on you can answer me I won't get mad, I mean it's nothing I haven't heard before." That was true, but Darien didn't want to piss her off and have her send him flying out of her room with an attack. He nodded lamely.
Serena sneered. "Did you sleep with her?" Darien head snapped up, his eyes wide with something that Serena couldn't place.
"W-what?" He asked breathlessly.
She cleared hear throat. "I asked, did you sleep with Raye?" Still he didn't answer her. Serena rolled her eyes heavenward. "Okay let's phrase it another way; did you have sex with Raye." Darien mouth fell open again, but quickly slammed it shut and kept it that way.
Serena let out a chuckle. "So it's true…you did sleep with Raye." Darien took a shaky step forward, holding out a shaky hand.
"N-no, I didn't sleep with Raye. I swear I didn't, Serena." Serena only shook her head and turned her back.
"You know how I know your lying, Darien? Do you?" He closed his shaky hand into a fist and took a step back.
"No." Serena let out a teary laugh, then turned back around her eyes glistening with tears.
"Because you hesitated." Serena turned her back to him and walked a few steps over to her dresser and opened the top drawer.
"I don't think it right that I keep this." Serena said shuffling through the drawer and then finally finding what she was looking for. She pulled, whatever it was, out and turned back around.
"Here." She said holding out her gold star locket. Darien let out a gasp and mer seconds later his hands were around Serena's arms in a rock hard grip.
"You can't mean it, Serena. You just can't!" Serena shook her head slowly.
"But I do-"
"Don't say that. We'll work it out and I promise to be faithful to you for the rest of my life and beyond. I will never look at another woman as long as I live, I swear it!" He said in a frantic whisper.
"Darien don't make this any harder then it already is-" Darien's grip around her arms loosened, but he snaked his arms around her and hugged her tightly to his body.
"No, I won't give you up, or on us and neither will you." Serena let out a sob and cling to his shirt.
"But I already have."
Darien gave a hard shake and tightened his hold around her. "That's a lie, I know it's not true." Serena gave another heart wrenching sob that made Darien regret ever putting her through this. "This is all my fault…if only I hadn't done those horrible things to Serena, then we wouldn't be going through such heart wrenching things." He thought hugging her tighter.
"I'm so sorry, Serena…so sorry." He whispered, burying his face into the blonde silk strands of her hair. He breathed in her scent and waited as his heart gave a painful pang and his arms tightened around her again. He wanted her…he needed her tonight.
"Darien…are you all right?" She asked sniffing back her tears. Darien pulled his face from her hair and then looked into her sapphire blue eyes. He felt himself lean down and place a gentle kiss against her lips and felt the sparks fly at the contact.
"Darien what are you doing." Serena whispered against his lips. Darien pressed his lips hard on hers and angled his head and kissed her so deeply that she thought she was drowning. The kiss was sweet and gentle, and soon after it was gaining to something more and it scared Serena silly. Serena pulled away and turned her head as Darien lips seeked her own.
"Stop, Darien." He pulled away his eyes full of arousal and heat.
"Why?" He whispered letting his lips travel up and down her neck to her collarbone where he kissed it over and over again. Serena let out a moan, but then pushed hard against him.
"I said stop!" Serena turned quickly her arms tightly over her chest and her body hard as rock.
"Serena-"
"We can't do this- I can't do this!" Serena said her voice shrill and hallow. Darien took a step forward his arms open.
"You need to leave, now." Darien took another step forward.
"Serena-"
"I said leave!" She screamed. Darien let his arms fall and then stood as still as he tried to think of a way to make her let him stay.
"You have to understand that what I did...it was a mistake and I understand that now. I love you and I always will." Serena rubbed her eyes and let out a small low snort, so low it didn't reach Darien's ears. "Yeah well you got a funny way of showing it…" She thought. There was a soft knock on her door.
"Serena are you all right? Serena let out a squeak and placed her hands against Darien's chest.
"Oh crap, you need to leave right now." She said pushing hard against his chest, nearly making them both fall over.
"Sweetheart are you all right?" Her mother asked on the other side of the door.
"Come on move it!" Serena hissed pushing him towards the window and up on her bed. "Go, get out of here before you get us both in trouble." She growled in the middle of pushing Darien out the window when her door began to open.
"Serena-" Serena gave Darien a good final heave and he was soon flying out the window and sliding down the roof. He let out a cry as he disappeared over the edge and Serena felt her breath leave her lungs. There was a crash outside and Serena let out a gasp as her head shot out and she saw that Darien was lying moitionless on the front lawn.
"Are you all right?" She called out softly. Darien got to his feet, slowly but he was soon moving towards the street, waved and limp over to his motorbike that sat across the street.
"Serena what on earth is going on in here?" Serena spun around on her bed and let out a nervous laugh.
"Nothing!"
Ikuko notched a brow and leaned against the door frame. "Well you were beginning awfully loud." Serena let out another nervous laugh.
"I know, I didn't mean to wake you-" Darien's motorbike came to life and then seconds later the sound of his bike grew more and more distant. Ikuko walked up behind her daughter and looked out the window and down at the street.
"Darien was here wasn't he." Serena head snapped over looked at her mother with wide eyes.
"Uh no, why would he be?" Ikuko looked at her daughter and had a understand smile creeping over her face. She knew what it was like to love someone so much that you think you wouldn't be able to live without them, but that wasn't the case. "Serena needs to know that there will be other men in her life and she'll find love again..." She thought.
"Serena I don't want you to go running back to him and take the chance of this happening again."
"What chance of what happening, Mom?" Ikuko sat down on the edge of the bed and brushed the hair out of her daughters eyes and took in a sharp breath. She still can't get over at how beautiful her little girl has become.
"The chance of beginning hurt again." Serena felt the smile she had on fall away and felt her body begin to shake.
"He was here. He came to tell me he misses me and wants to get back together but...I just can't do it." Serena said bowing her head and shake it. Ikuko laid a gentle hand on her daughters shoulder.
"Then don't."
"But he-"
"I know you think he'll be the only man you'll ever love, but sweetie that just isn't true." Ikuko took a deep breath, drawing her hands into her lap and taking another deep breath.
"You know your father wasn't the first man I ever loved." Serena snapped her head up and looked at her mother with wides eyes. "He wasn't?" She thought asking herself.
"He wasn't?" She just couldn't stop from asking this aloud as well. Ikuko shook her head and took another deep breath.
"No, his name was Craig Williams. He was an American who came here to study at the university. We met at the library and hit it off like that," Ikuko snapped her fingers for effect. "he was very charming and handsome." She let out a sigh. It was difficult bring this up after so many years.
"So what happen?"
Ikuko cleared her throat. "Well a year past and it turned out that he was engaged to be married to a woman in his home town, but he tried to tell me that after meeting me he couldn't marry this girl and that he wanted to marry me instead." Serena let out a gasp.
"Whoa really?" Ikuko nodded.
"Yes, really."
"Well what happen?" Ikuko let out a sigh.
"Well I said 'okay let's get married.' and I waited for him at the church for hours, but he never showed up." Serena let out a gasp of horror.
"What? How could that jerk do that to you! After a year of lying to you and then saying that he wanted to marry you instead of another girl he just stood you up!" Ikuko let out a giggle.
"Yes."
"Mom why are you laughing, this isn't funny!" Ikuko let out a laugh, then covered her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Serena but you see it is."
"How is it funny?" Serena asked gesturing with her hands.
"I spent years being angry at this man, even after marrying your father, that when I saw him again I just walked up to him and slapped him." Serena mouth fell open and her eyes wide.
"You slapped him? Really?" Ikuko nodded.
"What did he say?" Ikuko let out a giggle.
"He asked me who I was." Serena fell open even more if that was even possible and her eyes were as big as softballs.
"No way!"
"Yes way."
"What did you say."
"My name of course and boy did that get a reaction out of him." Serena was blown away.
"Whoa."
"Yes, whoa indeed." Serena sat back, her back hitting the sill of the window and she looked straight ahead trying to figure out what was the point of her Mom's story, but could find none.
"So, uh what was the point of all this?"
Ikuko looked at her daughter and grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "The point of my little story is that you might think your first love is your only love, but no that isn't true. It's called your first love because it's your first love not your only love." Serena felt herself begin to get it, she really was, but she was to tired to really get anything tonight.
"I think I get it, Mom. Thanks."
"Don't mention it sweetie, really don't mention it. I don't want your father to get angry at me for telling you this because he really hates it when I bring up Craig Williams."
Serena couldn't stop her from asking, "Why?"
"Because he was my first."
"Huh?"
"He was my first of everything." Serena let this roll around her head, then sat up straight as it began to click.
"Oh, ew gross, okay no problem won't ever bring it up again." Ikuko smiled and patted her hand.
"All right, you need to get to bed you have school tomorrow." Ikuko stood up and made her way to the door.
"Mom," Serena called from under her sheets.
"Yes?"
"Thanks again, I really appreciate it." Ikuko smiled at her daugther and began to close the door.
"Goodnight, Serena."
"G'night." Serena said letting out a yawn and sleep overcame her, claiming her into a dreamless, peaceful sleep.
Serena let out a yawn and stretched her arms over her head. "Am I boring you, Miss Tsukino?" Mr. Yoshi asked at the front of the class, in the middle of drawing a mathematic figure on the board. Serena blushed.
"No, sir."
"Then would you mind staying with us this period?" Serena blushed deepened.
"Yes, sir. I'm sorry sir." Mr. Yoshi rolled his eyes and then turned back to the board and started writing the mathematic figure on the board once again. Serena slumped back in her seat and let her head fall backward.
"What's up with you, Serena? Didn't get enough sleep, or what?" Serena slowly shook her head and closed her eyes. She let out a hard laugh. "Better not do that or I'll fall asleep for sure."
"Serena!" Serena shot up and grabbed the mechanical pencil sitting on her desk.
"I'm awake!" The whole classroom raged in laughter as Mr. Yoshi turned a different shade of blue.
"I really believed it when you said you would try harder, but now I know you were just pulling the wool over my eyes." Mr. Yoshi muttered to himself, but the whole classroom could hear him as clear as day. He thrusted a finger towards the door.
"That's it the principal's office for you young lady." Serena opened her mouth in protest.
"But I didn't do anything!"
"I said the principal's office, now!" Serena reopened her mouth and shut it again, having nothing to say, she was stunned at Mr. Yoshi's sudden outburst.
"But Mr. Yoshi-"
"I said now!" He bellowed. Serena let out a huff and began to throw her things into her bag.
"Fine." She grounded out and walked with a chip on her shoulder. "See if I care." She shouted and slammed the door shut. Serena tried to steady her raging her heart beat, but found impossible.
"The nerve of that guy, screaming at me like that when I didn't do a damn thing!" Serena hissed as she began the long walk to the principal's office half way across the school. "See if I get him anything for christmas."
There was a soft laugh of humor from a few steps down. "He doesn't seem the kind of man who could really care to get presents from his students," Serena stopping and squinted at this beauty, with his intense eyes and charming crooked smile, as he sat upon a bench reading a thick looking book.
"Yeah I guess your right, who are you?" She asked because she had the feeling she's met him before.
"Let's just say... an old friend." Serena nodded, but then stopped herself.
"Hey you evading the question!"
"Man you've got smart haven't you!" Serena felt her cheeks grow hot.
"Yes- wait what's that suppose to mean!" She asked her voice growing higher and higher with anger. He let out a loud laugh, then stood up.
"Yes, and your still as loud as a fog horn as well." He said with a little glare getting a gasp from her. "Who is this guy?" She thought asking herself. "Well I better be off. See you later, Serena." He said with a wave and thrusted his hands into his pockets and walked away, not looking back. Not even once.
