Against the Rules

Chapter 21

Darien sat in his classroom Serena's friend had come to pick her up over an hour ago, but all he could do was sit and think about what Serena had told him as the thoughts ran through his head "what kind of person is she living with? Is it possible she could be right? Did her stepfather push her down the stairs? She said she wasn't sure, but if he did I have to do something about it, but I promised Serena I wouldn't tell anyone. If I do she won't confide in me anymore and I can't let that happen, but I can't not say anything either. She was seriously hurt this time, next time may be worse"

He stood up from his seat realizing sitting here thinking about everything wasn't do Serena any good as he stepped away from his desk and decided to take a little trip to the Webster household to see for himself.

Darien drove to the house it looked dark inside with the shades all pulled down, but there were two cars in the driveway so he assumed someone must be home as he got out of his car and knocked on the door.

He waited a few minutes but nobody came to the door. He was about to turn around and leave when it opened and Serena standing there on her crutches looked out at him as she asked "Mr. Kenny what are you doing here?"

He looked to her feeble figure standing there in the door way. He still wasn't really sure what he was doing there. He hadn't any kind of reason for actually being there except for wanting to check and make sure she was alright as he looked to her and told her "I came by because I wanted to speak with you and your parents"

Serena looked to him accusingly having a feeling of what he wanted to talk to them about after he promised he wouldn't say anything as she looked back at him and asked "what for?"

Darien looked to her and could feel the change in her mood as he told her "to set up a permanent study schedule, possibly an hour or two after school every day and may be one day during the weekend until you catch up on your assignments"

Serena looked at him relieved that was all he wanted as she told him "that's fine with me, but my mom and step father aren't here right now, but I'll talk to them about it later okay. Thanks for stopping by" as she tried to quickly close the door.

Darien was a little surprised by the way Serena was trying to push him out the door. It made him think she was trying to hide something as he asked her "are you here by yourself, because you shouldn't be left alone in your condition"

Serena turned to him as she said "it's okay, I was just taking a nap anyway, but my parents will be home soon

Darien looked to her not sure if he should be leaving her here by herself in the condition she's in when he heard someone call out from upstairs "oh Anthony, you're so good, you know that's where I like it"

Serena looked embarrassed not sure how she would hide that as Darien looked to her and asked "what was that?"

Serena not sure what to say just told him "next door neighbor"

Darien shook his head as he told her "I don't think so. What's going on Serena?"

Serena knew she couldn't hide it anymore as she told him "my mother is having her friend over again"

Darien looked surprised he was expecting maybe Anthony was her step father, but not this as he asked "how many times does she have her friend over like this?"

Serena knew where he was going with this as she tried to hide the real truth as she told him "not that often really" then right on cue two half dressed people came walking down the stairs one with a bottle of liquor in their hands as Joyce looked to her daughter as she stumbled out her words she asked her "what are you doing here aren't you suppose to be in school"

Serena looked at her mother knowing this scene was bad and she would have a hard time hiding this one from Mr. Kenny as she told her "school let out hours ago mom"

Darien looked at this woman Serena was talking to and he could tell she was deeply drunk as he told her "I'm Mr. Kenny one of Serena's teachers maim we met at the hospital the other day"

She looked at him then at Serena as she took another drink and then told Serena "close the door it's too bright in here. It's hurting my eyes. Just close the door already"

Darien saw the condition of this woman and could tell she was in no condition to being taking care of an injured child as he turned to Serena and told her "grab a jacket"

Serena looked at him surprised as she asked "why?" He looked back as he told her "I'm going to bring you to my apartment for a little while. This woman is obviously in no condition to be taking care of you in the condition you're in right now and I don't want you to be here by yourself"

Serena just shook her head as she stood there boldly and told him "I'm not going to your apartment with you forget it"

Darien was a little surprised by her outburst. It wasn't like he was going to do anything. He just wanted to make sure she was going to be okay as he told her "okay then we'll go to Marks and get a burger, you hungry?"

Serena stood there as she thought about Darien's offer for a second. She had her mother here with her lover both which are completely drunk and running around half naked. Her step father who would be home soon and not happy after working all day and her teacher who has been nothing but nice to her and wants to buy her a burger as she wondered what she was still dong here as she told him "I'll get my jacket"
