Renee saw Serina walk into the cabin and followed her
Renee saw Serina walk into the cabin and followed her. She walked up behind her best friend and touched her shoulder softly, causing Serina to spin, her hair hitting Renee in the face. "Whoa, watch it Sere!" She yelped as she stepped back a bit. "I'm sorry Renee, you just scared me a bit." Serina and Renee walked out to the living room and sat down. "I was just about to call you." "I figured you would." Serina looked at her friend. "What do you mean?" "You know, Josh isn't very happy about you sleeping with Darien." Serina's mouth dropped and eyes widened. "WHAT!" "Renee, what are you talking about? I was going to tell you that I wasn't going to dinner tonight cause me and Darien are going out together." Renee looked down at her hands. "What do you mean 'Josh isn't very happy about me sleeping with Darien?' How would he know?" Renee kept silent. "Renee tell me!" "Ok, well we came to get you two and we sorta…um…sorta heard you two." Serina's eyes flickered with fire. "I didn't mean to get the two of you into trouble with Josh, I promise. I explained that the two of you are in love, but-" "How did he take it?" Serina cut her off. "Um…well he was about to beat Darien down, but I think that he is a little bit more calm." She looked up at her best friend. "I hope." Both of their heads shot up when they heard yelling outside, and ran toward the fight. "Darien, I can't believe you! What were you thinking? I trusted you to keep her safe!" Darien threw up his hands, surrendering. "Dude, I don't know what you are talking about. Keep who safe?" "Serina! You slept with her, even after I told you NOT TO!!!" Darien ran his hand threw his dark hair. How did he find out? When Darien looked down to think, he was suddenly brought back to reality by a hard punch to his jaw. He tasted the blood coming from his lip and felt the sting. "It isn't your choice what we do! You have no part of it, and besides, it isn't like you were even in love when you took Renee to bed! At least we are in love!" He dodged Josh's next punch and countered with a back fist to the chest. "Don't you pull that crap on me Darien! It was a mistake and you know it, but that don't matter now, WE ARE IN LOVE!" Darien grabbed Josh's oncoming fist and pulled him causing him to fall to the ground. "Give up Josh, we both know I can beat your ass! Just drop it!" Josh jumped back up and kicked Darien between the legs, causing him to fall right to his back in pain. "STOP!" Serina ran out to Darien, kneeling by his side. "Damn you Josh, keep away from my life if you cannot let it be!" "I told you to let it be Josh, why did you have to do it anyway?" Renee walked over to Serina to help with Darien. Josh watched as the two girls carried his best friend away, because he made a cheep shot. I can't believe I can't beat him. Now I will never get his friendship back. "Wait." The girls turned around. "I'm sorry." He said quietly as he looked at the ground. "I should have trusted you more, I know what it is like to have temptation, and you were right, you are in love." He turned around and walked away. Darien laid down on the couch with a pack of ice on his left cheek. His head was placed gently in Serina's lap while she read a book. Darien tried to avoid talking about what happened just a hour ago out side, but he knew it wasn't going to be avoided forever. Serina sat down her book and looked down at Darien. She felt so bad for him, his cheek was swelled up where Josh got his first punch. "Darien, I know that you don't want to, but this is sorta your fault too. Josh has never beat you in anything, and he always felt that you took everything away from him." She pushed some hair out of his eyes. "He thinks you have taken me away too. Just say sorry-" "But it wasn't my fault." He whined. She glared sharply at him. "Ok." He sighed, "I'll apologize." She kissed his head and smiled. "Now that is the Darien I know." She glanced up into his deep blue eyes before she kissed him softly, not to disturb his wounded lip. Lindsay sat in between James' legs and leaned against his hard chest as they watched the stars in the dark sky. The dinner was canceled because of mainly the fight, so everyone did their own thing. She glanced down at her shinning diamond ring again for the hundredth time in the last day. She sighed and snuggled against James. "James, how do you know that we are going to make it?" She asked while dreaming of their wedding. James rubbed her arms and smiled. "Because we are in love, and that's all that counts. Nobody can tear us apart, not even God." She looked up at him with a *whatever* face. "Ok, maybe not God, but anyone else." "You know, you are so damn cute." He nodded his head and kissed the top of hers. "Yep, I know." He laughed as she rolled her eyes. "James?" "Hmm?" He glanced back down at her. "Do you know why Josh and Darien fought?" "No dear, I don't. Why don't you ask Serina tomorrow when we wake up." He winked at her and scooped her into his arms as he carried her into the house and to the large bed. Allison sat at a small table in the corner of the small diner. A man with short red hair and light brown eyes sat across from her. The walls of the room were decorated in different types and colors of flowers and plants. The ceiling was painted blue to match the sky and the floor was brown. It was almost like you were in a real garden. The waiter brought their food. Allison got some stuffed crab and Danny ordered a small plate of oysters. They had a bottle of wine and a glass of water. "Allison, I wanted to thank you again for coming with me to dinner tonight. I really enjoy your company." He looked up into her eyes. He noticed that they lit up like fireflies when she smiled. "It is nothing Danny, I enjoy your company as well. It gets me out of the cabin for a while too." She picked up a crab leg. "And believe me, you don't want to be in the same house as someone who just got engaged." The two laughed. "You know, we have been going out for almost two weeks, and I don't know anything about you." Danny just smiled. "Well, what would you like to know princess?" He cracked open an oyster and ate the insides. "Where are you originally from and why are you here?" "Well…I am from Florida, that's where all my family is, and I came out here to go to the university. You?" "One of my friends parents gave us all tickets and rented the cabins for us as a sorta graduation present. At first it wasn't great at all, I was having a bit of problems, but now since you came along, I don't feel that way." She gave him a smug smile. Tracy grabbed her stomach in pain and moaned. She grabbed onto the side of the couch, but she couldn't keep herself up, the pain was to strong. She fell to the floor with tears streaming down her face. "KYLE!" She yelled out before she passed out. Kyle came running out to her side and saw a puddle of blood between her legs. He slowly lifted her up and carried her to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face. "Why do women have to have these cycles? This is why I love being a man." He said out loud talking to himself. He started to slightly slap her cheeks to wake her up, but she wouldn't snap out of it. "Come on Trace, you aren't going to make a man do this are you?" He glanced over on the counter where a package of pads were. No, I will just call Serina, she will do this. "Hold on babe, just stay here." He walked out to the living room and grabbed the small white phone and dialed the number for Serina's cabin. It rang twice then Darien answered the phone. "Um…Darien? I was hoping to speak to Serina." He mumbled, cursing himself for being such a whoss, and not being able to do this himself. "She is in the bathroom right now, what did you need her for?" "Well, Tracy started her 'cycle' and I wanted Serina to help her, since she is out cold." He said while his face turned bright red. "Hold on." He set the phone down a little. "Sere! Kyle needs a little help with Tracy, she is out cold and has lady problems!" He heard the bathroom door open and Serina ran out to him. "What? That's impossible!" She said while shaking her head. "Ask him if he is sure it is her period." "Are you sure-" "I heard her, yes, what else would it be?" "Yes, he is sure." Serina took the phone from Darien's hands. "I'll be right there, don't move her." She hung up the phone. "Darien, hurry up!" She pulled on her shoes. "Sere, what's going on?" He asked while being dragged by her out the door. "Tracy can't have her period, she is pregnant!" She yelled at him. "SHIT!" He grabbed her hand and ran, pulling her behind. Kyle sat in the waiting room of the emergency room for the second time in the past month. Serina sat next to him for support. He had been crying because he had no idea what was going to happen to her. I did this to her. "Serina, I swear, I didn't know about the baby. I swear I didn't." He burst out into more tears. "Why did this have to happen to her? Why? I did this to her!" Serina pulled him close to her body and shook her head. "No, you didn't Kyle, it is not your fault!" "Yes it is, if I wouldn't have got her pregnant she wouldn't be in there hooked up to all those machines! She wouldn't have lost the child! Its my fault." He cried onto her shoulder. All Darien could do was watch Serina comfort Kyle the best she could. She was always good at that, no matter what happened. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darien sat in his room crying by the window. He was only eight at the time and didn't know what else to do. Serina walked into the room and saw him sitting there. She quietly walked up to him and hugged him with all her might. "Darien, what is wrong?" She asked with sadness for the young boy. He didn't say anything. "You will feel better if you talk about it, it helps me to talk to mama, and then I feel all better. Please Darien, tell me whats wrong." He sniffled and whipped the tears off his face. "It's just that I miss my parents have been gone for so long now, and I don't know what to do." He said in a mere whisper. "If you feel sad because of your family, just remember that we are your family too, family is everyone who loves you." She smiled at him. "Thank you Serina." He hugged her and watched her leave the room. And for once in over a week, he smiled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darien looked back at Serina, she had gotten Kyle to calm down and he was now sleeping in his chair. He walked over to the angel, who just happened to be his girlfriend, and sat in the chair on the other side of her. He grabbed her small hand and kissed it lightly. "Oh Darien, I don't know what to do anymore. He still blames himself for this." She shook her head as Darien pulled her to him. "Why does this have to happen? First Allison, and now Tracy." He held her in his arms, but let her go when he saw Josh and Renee. They were sitting by each other, but facing different ways. "You know that she won't forgive him until things are straight between you two." "Huh?" "Go apologize Darien." She let him go and pushed him up out of his chair. He turned around and looked at her in question. "Go on." She waved him on. Darien slowly made his way across the room to Josh. He watched as Renee got up and walked by him to go sit with Serina, leaving her seat next to Josh, which he sat in. "You know Josh, this is a little stupid." Darien faced his best friend and ran his hand through his hair, Josh did the same. "I don't want to fight with you about this, I want you to be okay with Serina's relationship with me." "I'm really sorry I blew up at you about it Dare, it just scares me that Serina would do that." He looked over at his sister talking to Renee. "I couldn't believe that she would, I made myself think that it was you who wanted it. But I know Sere, if she wants something, nothing would stop her." He held out his hand to Darien. "I'm sorry for blaming it on you." Darien took his extended hand and shook it. "No problem bud, I would have done the exact thing if it wasn't me." The guys laughed. "So…how was it for your first time?" "Great!" Darien thought of what he said. "Wait a minute, who told you?" He asked the guy rolling on the floor with laughter. "HAHA! It was…HAHA…Renee…HAHA!" "Oh, get off the floor." Darien scolded him while glaring over at the giggling girls across the room. About ten minutes later the doctor came out and talked to the group. Each person was allowed five minutes with Tracy, and then would have to leave. Kyle went in first and came out with a small smile on his lips. My angel is going to be ok! He said over and over in his head. Two days later, she was released and Kyle took her home.

There was a soft knock on the hard wooden door. Darien walked sleepily to the door and opened it. His jaw dropped as his eyes widened. "Jessica?" There was a tall girl with short red hair with blond highlights, and wore tight leather pants and a short tee shirt and leather coat. Her nails were long and painted blood red and a small skull tattoo was placed on the side of her stomach. "Hey Cuz, are you going to let me in?" He got out of the way to let the girl in. "I guess you are wondering why I am here right?" He nodded his head following her to the living room. She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "I live here. I called Florida and they said you were out here, so here I am." She gestured to herself. "Tada." Darien laid his head in his hands and let out a sigh. "I have a headache." He got up and walked into the kitchen and grabbed the Tylenol, and swallowed four caplets. He cringed as he heard the front door open and two giggling girls walked inside. "Darien! I'm-" She saw Jessica stand up and smile at the girls. "WHAT THE HELL!" Darien came running out of the kitchen. "DARIEN, WHY IS *SHE* HERE?!?!" Serina yelled as Renee fainted. Darien shook his head and slapped his hand to his head. "This is not going to be fun." He murmured to himself as he helped get Renee to the couch. He looked over at the grinning Jessica and frowned. "I don't see what is so funny Jessica." "Yes, I don't either Jessica!" Serina yelled as she glared at the girl. She whipped around when she felt Darien's hand on her shoulder. "Honey, I think you outta calm down just a bit." He said calmly and directed her to a chair. She sat down with very little ease. "I know you are upset, but I am sure she has a good explanation." He looked over at his cousin. "Actually…I don't." She smiled with a small laugh. "Beside that, when were you going to tell me that the two of you hooked up? It is so…so…cute. In a little kid sort of way." She walked over to Darien and kneeled down in front of him. Darien quickly stepped back. "Aww…come on Darien, I seem to remember that Josh loved this very much." She said with an evil laugh. "Oh My God! You BITCH!" Serina yelled and charged at Darien's cousin. She pushed her to the ground and punched her in the eye. The door flew open and a out of breath Josh ran in. "I heard yelling, and-" He saw Jessica on the ground with Serina on top of her holding her down with her fist in the air. "Holy Hell!" He shrieked and stumbled backwards.
