A New Love

"Serena, hurry up! Let's go! I have to get back to the temple to do my chores!" Raye yelled impatiently.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Serena replied, irritated. Just then, her bag unzipped and all her books and spirals fell out.
"Oh my gosh!" Serena said.
"Well, since it's going to take a while to get all that put up, I'm going to go ahead to the temple." Raye stated.
"All right, Raye. We'll stay and help Serena." Mina said kindly, knowing how hard her friend was working to become a priestess. When they got everything back into Serena's bag, they started down the street. As they were walking, they saw Darien crossing the street ahead of them.
"Hi Darien!" Serena called, exited to see her future husband.
"Oh, hi girls!" he called back to them, smiling warmly and waving to them. Suddenly the girls saw a black car speeding toward Darien. His back was turned, so he didn't see it coming.
"Darien, look out!" Serena yelled. But it was too late. As he turned around, his face became pale. Before he could react, the car had hit him.
"No! Darien!" Serena screamed as the car swept in front of her. She ran to him, and cradled him in her arms.
"Darien, don't worry. We'll call an ambulance to come get you and take you to the hospital. You're going to be all right." She said gently. Darien's eyes flickered open at the sound of her voice. He looked so weak, lying in her arms in the middle of the road.
"Serena... I won't be here much longer. I just wanted you to know... Serena I love you."
"Oh, Darien, please don't leave me. I NEED you!" Serena said.
"Shhh, it's okay. I'm leaving now, Serena. But don't worry. As long as you keep me in your heart, I'll always be with you." He took one long, lingering last breath. Then Darien was no more.
"No..." Serena whispered, the tears she had held in while talking to Darien now flowing freely down her cheeks like salty rivers. Mina and Lita came over to her and pulled her to her feet.
"Come on, Serena, we've got to call the police." Mina said gently, though she wasn't keeping herself together very well. Not even Lita, the fighter of the group, could keep from crying. They called the police at a nearby pay phone, and when they arrived, the girls told them everything. None of them, however, knew anything about the car or the driver except that the car was jet-black, and all the windows, including the windshield, were darkly tinted.
"Looks like whoever it was, they were real careful not to be discovered." One of the officers said.
Well, you three go on home. We'll call his parents." His partner said, shooing them away.
