Rae observed her best friend behind the rim of her coffee cup. To all appearances Serena looked calm and content. There wasn't a single hair out of place, her hands were perfectly manicured, and the energy that could never hold the blonde in place was conspicuously absent. She had never seen Serena look so contained and composed. It seemed eerie that the bubbly blonde could become so collected in a manner of days. Of course all of them were conscious of what had transpired between her and Darien, after all secrets in their group could never be kept. It was an impossibility all of them were used to. What had surprised Rae was the manner in which Serena had delivered the news of their break up. She had approached the group of girls' yesterday afternoon at the coffee shop they usually attended after class. When she walked in, her poise had captured the attention of their group immediately. She looked absolutely regal and radiant. The elegant movements of her body belied the fact that a few days ago she had tripped over every object in her path. The girls had immediately exchanged glances with each other sensing that something of utter importance had occurred. Serena had looked at each of them straight in the eye; her head held high and with an even tone of voice had informed them that Darien no longer was a part of her life. She had said the words with such finality that all of them had wondered if it was all a sick joke on her part. However, one look in her eyes and they understood the truth of her words. They had not known how to approach the situation because their friend did not give the impression that she sought comfort from them. She had sat on the sofa next to them and refused to talk anymore on the subject.
"What's done is done," was all she said. No tears followed her statement. No sign of needing sympathy showed in her face. And above all there was no desire in her person to share what had truly taken place two nights ago in the park. Rae was worried. She did not know what to make of the woman before her eyes. Yes, she was beautiful. Serena had always been beautiful. But now her beauty appeared almost ethereal. At first glance her beauty gave the impression of fragility but one glimpse into her eyes and you could see the steel and potential that had been awakened in her. The girl Rae had known so well seemed to have vanished overnight and in her place was a strong woman she was starting to admire. Nevertheless, it worried her that Serena refused to talk about her feelings. She was terrified for her friend. Terrified that her pain ran so deep that she didn't want to acknowledge it and face it. Rae comprehended that none of them could understand the depth of their friend's love for Darien. Nonetheless, they were here for her if she needed anything if only she would let them in.
Serena looked up from her coffee cup and for a moment blue eyes clashed with violet in a struggle of wills. Serena knew that Rae felt frustrated and betrayed with her silence. She also knew her friend well enough to recognize that Rae would not stop in her quest to figure out Serena's true sentiments. She smiled behind the coffee cup imagining the wheels in her friend's head turning at the speed of light. She truly appreciated Rae's concern but at the same time found it completely irritating. They did not realize that slowly she was changing. She was beginning to understand that not everything in life is fun and laughter. And she was beginning to learn that the most devastating lesson is to love and lose. Still, she was a graceful loser. But it hurt, God how it hurt to have lost him. Sometimes late at night the absence of his love crushed her resolve to forget and move on. There were times before the morning came that she despaired of being able to let him go. Yet, somehow when things looked the darkest she found another reserve of strength to keep her wits about her. She loved him there was no denying that fact. She would always love him. But now the time had come for her to move on and see what she was capable of accomplishing without him.
She looked over at her friend's disappointed stare and she was suddenly flooded with an array of emotions. In a flash of revelation she saw that her friends concern ran deep and potent. This was what life truly was all about; friends that would lay their life down for you, friends that you would gladly lay down your life for. She smiled, a smile that come from the heart as she was inundated with feelings of love and loyalty.
Rae turned to see Serena grasping her hand and her eyes filled with unshed tears as she viewed the love shimmering in her friend's eyes. "I love you Rae." At that moment Rae understood that her friend would be all right. The strength of will Serena possessed radiated form every pore in her body. They would be fine. As long as they had each other everything would be fine.
