Sorry for the delay in posting, I kind of got caught up in writing that other story, but now I'm back. So here's chapter 7. Please excuse me if my grammar is totally wrong, I promise I'll fix it later.
It was eleven thirty, when Darien finally arrived back at his apartment. The rain was pouring down even harder as he entered into the building. He whipped his wet face off with a handkerchief that was in his back pocket and proceeded to his apartment. As he walked up the steps the argument that him and Serena had been through, began to flash through his mind once more. He sighed, as he remembered Serena's face being flushed fully red with anger, her angel blue eyes were welling with pain at that time. Then she said those seven words that cut through his heart like a knife. "I don't want to see you again, I trusted you and you betrayed me like this," he remembered her saying. Lightening bulleted through the night's sky and its white flashes lightened the dark hallway for a brief minute. 'She's right, I did betray her,' Darien thought to himself while coming to a stop to his apartment door. His apartment never seemed so lonely until now, as he stared at the black number's that read 119 on its wall. Darien knew that he was wrong for what he had done, Serena had loved him with all of her heart and he had taken advantage of her trusting nature. In doing so, he had lost her, but was this the end between them for good?
He could only hope not, but deep down inside him something was telling him that it just might be. "Why am I kidding myself, she wont forgive for this," he grumbled trying to fish his from out of his coat pocket. "She hates me, I know she.......... Darien suddenly cut himself off, once he realized that he had left his keys at Raye's. He sighed and rested his head on the apartments door. 'Damit. I don't want to go back there,' he thought banging his left hand on the wall. "Those girl's would never let me out of there," he sighed once more. "But what can I do now, I can't just stay out here like this all night." 'Why don't you go back to her, he told himself. "I don't even want to risk that, I can't even look her in the eyes any more, or even talk to her at that," Darien mumbled slipping on his wet jacket and moving down stairs. He walked out of the door and back into the cooled night. Rain poured down on his head, causing his hair as well as face to be socked. "Darien what are you doing out here?" a voice asked him, causing him to zone out of his daze. Darien turned around to see his brother looking at him with a worried look on his face. Darien looked at his brother and said nothing to him; he just stared down at the pavement. Devon shook his head at the sight of this and put his umbrella up over them both. "Walking in the rain this late, who would have thought you would do something like this?" he sighed.
"Well what are you doing out here?" Darien retorted getting mad. "Can't a guy take a walk without a cross-examine?" Devon asked saying one of his usual lines. Darien rolled his eyes and began to walk in the opposite direction. "Hey bro, let me give you a ride." "I don't need your help." "Stop acting like a tuff guy and let me help you, besides your going to make Elena mad if you don't do what I say." "Like I care if she gets mad." Devon sighed and went after him. "You really don't want to admit that you need help do you?" he said walking behind him and slipping handcuffs onto Darien's hands. "What the hell are you doing?" Darien scolded him while trying to get out of the cuffs. "You'll thank me for this later," Devon replied pushing his brother into his car and driving off. "You've lost it Devon." "Look who's talking, you need help and you're to stubborn to admit that, so I'm going to take things into my own hands." "STOP THE CAR!" Devon glanced at Darien from out of the corner of his eye and speeded off onto another street. "Devon I said stop the dam car," Darien ordered him leaning on the door. "I wouldn't lean on that door if I was you," Devon said suddenly easing off of the gas slightly and turning another corner sharply. "For get about that, just stop the car," Darien growled getting angrier at him. Devon glanced at him from out of the corner of his eye once more and then reached over him, to the door's lock. He unlocked the door and then smiled at his brother slyly. "Here's where you get off," he said opening the door and pushing Darien out. "What the f ............ Darien suddenly was silenced once he hit the mud covered ash fault hard. The rain poured down on him as he opened his eyes slightly to see a white light looking down at him then every thing went black.
"I can't believe Devon would do something like this to him. I told him to find him, not half kill him," a voice mumbled. "I probably would have done the same thing, he deserved it," another voice spoke. "You know that's really hard to believe, because I know you wouldn't want to sleep on the couch for a week." "Elena, come on I was just kidding." Darien opened his eyes slightly to see two blurred figures looking over him. "May be we should call a doctor, he's pretty messed up." "He'll heal Elena, so don't try to play mom with him." "Ok *dad*." "What happened?" Darien interrupted opening his eyes and looking at them. The couple both exchanged glances and then looked back at him. "You mean you don't remember?" Elena said looking at her brother with a worried expression. Darien shook his head. "No, but my head hurts. How did I get here?" "Devon dropped you......... Elena shot her husband a threatening look. "I mean Devon brought you here...........kind of any way," Hugo answered correcting himself. "My head hurts," Darien sighed resting his head on a pillow. "You'll be fine in the morning, you just need to rest." "Yeah I guess I do." "Do you want me to bring you some hot chocolate?" Elena asked. "No I'm fine." Elena started to get mad, because she wanted to help him. "Fine then, don't ask for my help any more." Hugo looked at his wife. "Baby you need to go to bed, you promised me you would." "Hugo don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"I'm not taking any chances. You really haven't been getting that much sleep in the past few days." "Well who can with all the activities we've been doing this week." Hugo stared at his wife with a pleading look on his face. Elena sighed. "Ok I guess your right, I've been up since six- thirty this morning any way. See you in the morning Darien." She said kissing her brother on the forehead and then turning to kiss her husband on the lips before leaving the room. "I'll go to bed now," she sighed unlocking her lips from Hugo's. "And wait up for me," Hugo whispered to her. Elena laughed while walking out of the room. "Ok, but if your late, I'll be sleep," she called back at him as she moved up stairs. "She's pregnant isn't she?" Darien began once his sister was out of sight. Hugo looked at him proudly. "Yeah she is," he replied turning towards him with a smile on his face. "And you're proud of it?" "Well of course I am, why shouldn't I? She's having my kid." "Having a kid's a lot of work." Hugo narrowed his eyes slightly at Darien. "What would you know about work any way, you walked out on your own kid years ago." "I know, but I can't see your point on being proud about Elena's pregnancy." "She's my wife that's why I'm proud. We've always wanted our own kid and now we've got it. Matter of fact, I've always wanted to be a father." "Yeah but still......... "Darien shut up, you wouldn't even know any thing on what it fells like to be a father, if it hit you right in the face. I love your sister, more than you can imagine and I would NEVER do what you did to Robin, to her. I couldn't bear to that to her............ "So is that's why you quit the police force?"
"Yeah that and the fact that I didn't want to make Elena a widow. It's bad enough I was shot once, but scaring the hell out of her when it happened caused her to brake down instantly. I knew I couldn't take the risk of doing that again, so I quit for her sake as well as my own." Darien sighed. " Ok Hugo I'm sorry for starting something with you, I know you love my sister. It's just that this thing that went on between me and Robin............"You and Robin were different from me and Elena, we're married, you guys weren't, so you got scared and left her once you found out she was pregnant. With me and Elena it's different, we're married and I don't plan on leaving her, until the day I die." "Ok, I get your point, but what am I suppose to do now? Serena hates me, she doesn't want any thing to do with me any more." "You made the decision on whether or not you loved her a long time ago, when you decided to keep Christina away from her. So there's really only one thing you can do now." "And what is that?" Hugo looked Darien square in the eye. "You know what you have to do Dare, you may have lost Serena, but Christina's still her with you. If you're will take care of her," Hugo answered him and left the room. 'Oh just great,' Darien thought to himself and laid back in the bed. "As much as I hate to admit it, he is right," he mumbled to himself. For a while Darien sat there in silence, contemplating on his next move. He knew that what everyone was saying to him was right, he did have to take responsibility for Christina. But how would she react to him once she found out he was her father?
"It doesn't matter how she reacts to me, just as long as she knows I love her, that's all that matters. I don't want her to be mad at me later on," he thought out loud while trying to get out of bed. He felt sore all over, the pain seemed to increase all over his body as he struggled to get out of bed. As was getting up, he managed to hold his balance by leaning on the bedpost for support. After a few tries of stepping forward, he finally was able to exit the room and move across the hallway. Taking each step slowly Darien held onto something each time he moved. With in thirty - minutes, he finally managed to get up the stairs. Surveying the hallway, Darien suddenly felt a gut instinct on what room Christina was sleeping in. He moved slowly to the middle bedroom and stepped inside to see two twin beds's on opposite side of each other. Even though the room was dark, Darien knew exactly which bed his daughter was sleeping in. He walked to the bed on the left side of the room to see a little girl with long raven hair sleeping peacefully. Darien looked down at her, his sister was right she did have the same color hair he had, but one thing Darien noticed about his daughter, was that she looked exactly like Robin in the face. 'I may have lost Serena for good, but I'm not going to lose you too Christy,' he thought stroking her hair out of her face. "Tomorrow you're going to finally meet your dad," he whispered to her and kissed her on the forehead then walked out of the room.
What's this? Has Darien finally decided to change his ways or is he just saying this? What does his sister have to say about this and is Serena putting Darien out of the picture for good? We can wonder, until the next chapter is posted. Please write a review and remember my email address is sailorujv17@hotmail.com.
