Chapter Ten
If Only Tears Could Bring You Back
----------------
When everyone had left the room Darien opened his eyes. He'd woken up during their conversation and was about to say something when the doctor informed them of the fact he would be arrested for his love's attack. I love her, why would I do this. At least all my friends are on my side. I know it was Jarrett, that voice when he said those words, he's dead when I get out of here...but wait, the doctor said something about Serena. He looked to his left, then right. Oh my god, Serena, he said something about tests, and not waking up...that must mean she's in a coma. "It's all my fault, I wasn't there to protect you, I'm so sorry." With that, he slowly got up from his bed, ignoring the pain from his back and crawled over to her bedside.
"Serena, I'm so sorry that that loser was so disrespectful to you, you deserve better than that."
His sweet masculine voice started to sing parts of a song, the first one that popped into his head...
"How will I start, tomorrow without you here,
Who's heart will guide me, while all the answers disappear.
Is it too late, are you too far gone to stay,
Best friends forever, should never have to go away.
What will I do? You know I'm only half without you,
How will I make it through?
If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could fide a way.
What I would do, what I would give if you,
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway.
If my tears could bring you back, to me."
He heard a noise outside, so he quickly went back to his bed, acting like he was still sleeping. He had to brush away tears that were starting to form in his eyes. A nurse came in to check the vital signs of him and Serena. She was only there for a minute, but being away from Serena for only a mere minute seemed like a century for him. When she left, he went back over to her, remembering the first day they met. He started to sing again.
"I'd cry you an ocean, if you'd sail on home again,
Waves of emotion, will carry you, I know they can.
Just let love guide you, and your heart will chart the course,
Soon you'll be drifting, into the arms of your true north.
Look in my eyes, you'll see a million tears have gone by,
And still they're not dry.
If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could fide a way.
What I would do, what I would give if you,
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway.
If my tears could bring you back, to me."
He grabbed her hand as he continued, pulling her into a hug. His eight friends walked in silently, he never noticed them.
"I'd hole you close, and shout the words, I only whispered before,
For one more chance, for one last glance.
There's not a thing, that I would not endure.
He started to lean over her as he continued.
If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could fide a way.
What I would do, what I would give if you,
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway.
If my tears could bring you back, to me."
He kissed her forehead, as a tear fell from his eye and landed on her cheek. The girls and guys stood there in shock. The doctor and a police officer walked in.
"Mr. Chiba, we are going to have to put you under arrest for the attempted murder of Serena Tsukino." The officer said.
"You are healthy enough to be released into the custody of the police department." Notified the doctor.
"But I didn't do it...how do you know I did it? I would never hurt the girl I love, or the ones she loves!" He tried to defend himself.
"After we interviewed a young man, we have probable cause. The evidence points to you." Informed the officer.
"You'd be arresting the wrong guy." Everyone was shocked when they heard the weak voice coming from the bed next to Darien. "It wasn't Darien...it was Ja-" She fainted again.
Darien rushed back to her side, grabbing her hand. "Serena, you need to rest now." He kissed her head and gently pushed a strand of hair out of her face. "I love you."
"Okay, so then she said it wasn't Darien, it was someone who's name starts with a J-a." The officer wrote in his pad.
"It was Jarrett. I was walking to school this morning and my heart led me to her. I went to pick her up with I felt a jolting pain in my back. He said ' If I can't have her, no one can. I don't care if she fell for you.' and stabbed me again." Darien told the story.
"Okay, I'll send some men to pick him up." The officer radioed in the command.
"Darien, I knew you didn't do it!" Raye exclaimed. "She really needs someone like you in her life."
"Doctor, you said you have reason to believe she wouldn't wake up. What happened." Amy asked breaking a long pause.
"Well, I'm not sure, you were in your bed when I was last in here."
"Maybe it was your positive energy, the kiss, the warmth of you tear, heart, soul." Mina said.
"It was your loving heart that is helping me recover. It's your love for me." She said.
"SERENA!" the whole room exclaimed.
"How could they blame you for this. Your heart is so kind and pure that you could never hurt anyone...even if you tried." She said very weakly.
"Serena, you need to rest." Darien warned.
"Yes, you are very weak from the blood loss, we haven't caught up yet. You need to save your energy." The doctor agreed.
"Okay, thank you guys. And I love you, Darien." She said, in a calm voice.
"I love you too, my sweet." Darien said.
She sat up to kiss him, but her trip was cut short because he was already inches away from her face.
"They really are perfect for each other." Lita said.
"But one thing that still bugs me. I feel as though I've seen Jarrett before, I don't know where from, but..." Amy started to say.
"I know what you mean...but I don't know where from either." Lita agreed.
"Freshman year. He was the one that attacked me." Serena said from her bed.
"How do you know? I thought you didn't see his face." Mina noted.
"Well, this morning, he asked me if I'd go out with him, and I said I don't think it'll work. He said something like not this again. That totally confused me, and when I told him that I fell for Darien, he started walking to an alley, I was really paying attention to notice. He said that he loved me from the moment he saw me walk into Mr. LeTarte's class, I had him in ninth grade, and so when I was on the ground, it dawned on me. That's why he was so polite with the whole 'get to know you' date thing..." She said.
"We have our case, he won't be hurting you anymore, Ms. Tsukino." The officer said.
"Thank you." She said. "Thank you all for being here...but where are my parents?" She asked, just realizing they weren't there.
"OH, we should call them and let them know you're up. They were here earlier, but they went to take care of your brother." Stephen said.
"I'll do it." Darien offered.
