***************************************************************
The wind swept past the naked tree's of winter. I'm pretty sure if leaves
had bared them they
would sway to such a strong wind. Though I wore a Teal sweater, and a
pair of black long-pants,
I felt cold sitting next to the window sill. I sat in my dorm room, alone,
for nearly an hour. There were
no classes for it was a Saturday. I knew that I should be downstairs in the
lounge enjoying my
weekend but I wasn't in the mood. Not at all. Depression seemed to overcome
me the deeper I
went into thought. I felt lonely and sad. I had made millions of friends,
and they have been great to me.
But I still haven't felt true love for anybody. Sure in my Teenage years I dated
alot, but none of them I truly
cared for.
Except this one man, we never dated but I feel as I love him. His name is
Darien Sheilds. He alone
knows my true identity as Sailor Moon, beside the scouts whom are now
my roommates. I've known
Darien since I was 13, I am now 20, and he is 25. This is my 3rd year in
college, but its his last.
I've let him slip away. My chances with him were through. Darien would
never love me like he loved
his girlfriend. Kate Patterson. They had been dating four 3 years.
Kate is beyond beauty. Her Red-hair reaches a little below her shoulders
and flashes in the sun light,
it has such a radient beauty. My friends say that her hair is nothing compared
to my golden strands.
I don't believe them ( But I do appreciate their kindness) Kate's eyes glisten
of outrageous
green. Everybody loves Kate. Except me I hate her. Somethings going to
happen soon. Kates evil.
She's not what she seems. Not at all.
I get up and move to my bed. I lay upon my flowered yellow quilt. But as
soon as my head hits
the pillow, a knock at my door disturbs my thoughts. I make my way across
the baby blue crapet
and open my door. There standing in the door way was Darien. "Oh hi." I
greet with a smile.
Immediately he comes in and ignores my greeting. He stopped a few feet
ahead of me and
began nibbling the tip of his thumb, gazing at the floor. It was obvious he
was nervous.
"Darien?" He looks up at me expactenly. "Yeah?" He replied voice unsteady.
"What's wrong?"
He looks at me with his deep ocean blue eyes. His eyes are so gorgeous, so
mysterious.
At last he speaks.
"Serena...." It seems so hard for him just to tell me. Why?
More silence.
"Serena...not many people agree with my relationship with Kate."
Obviously.
"So I ask for your support." He continues.
"Why?" I ask in confusion.
"I want to marry Kate." I can feel the blood rush away from my face.
His words echo through out my mind. Tears build up in my eyes, but I
hold them back.
"Serena is something wrong?" If he only knew. If he only knew how muched
I loved him, how much I enjoyed
his company, and how much I feel right around him.
When I didn't respond he asked "You are ok with this, right?" Immediately
the answer that comes from my
mouth is "Of course! Uh, I'm very happy for you! It was only a matter of
time. I mean you love her
and what a better way to show it with a proposal!"
"And a ring." He adds with a smile.
"A ring?" He pulls a black velvet box form his pocket.
Marriage. Now I know I truly let him slip away. I now am sure that I love
him. I'd die for him
I'd kill for him. He opened the box. I then viewed the most gorgeous ring
I'd ever seen. Enscribed around the smooth gold band were the words 'Marry Me'
In between the two words glistened a Beautiful white diamond. So beautiful.
"Well what do you think?" He asked excitengly. I swallow the lump in my
throat. Wipe away
my soon-to-fall tears and replied "I think you should stop wasting time and
go and make
Kate happier then she already is."
I had to act happy, I had to act supportive. For Darien. Not for Kate. He
smiled to show
his joy. And then he gave me a hug, along with a kiss on my cheek. "Thanks"
He mumbled
and rushed out of the room. Leaving me to my new tears. As soon as I heard
the door click
behind me, I collasped to the floor. Tears fell off my cheeks and to the floors. In
some spots the light blue carpet turned to a darker shade of blue when the tears
reached it.
I felt horrible. I immediately got off the floor and rushed to the bathroom,
when I felt a
thick sour liquid rise from my throat. Throwing open the lid I let the vomit
fall from my
mouth. I shut the toilet and flushed, as I clumsily wiped my mouth with the
back of my hand.
My cheeks sticky from my dry tears I lay on the floor thinking. Without the
slightest bit of notice
I fell asleep.
I wake up to find darkness all around me. Since my sweater was a little bit
rided up it left
part of my stomach bare, making the cold tile floor touch my skin as I shivered.
A pillow
was under my head and a blanket over me. The girls must have been this kind.
Clumsily I make my way to bed. For a moment I forgot what happened earlier.
To my left
laid Lita's and Mina's bed. To my right laid Amy's and Rayes. I glance
around making sure
noone had awaken, then I make myself comfortable in bed. As soon as my eyes
close, I hear a click.
Quickly my eyes open with alertness.
A lamp had turned on. Raye's lamp. She arose with a yawn and walked over
to me. She sat beside me and
gazed into my eyes, searching for heartache and betrayel. "It's Darien." I said
without hesitation.
She didn't seem surprised. "What now?" She asked curiously. "He's going to
marry Kate."
Her eyes widen, and whispering quite loudly she said "WHAT!" I just nod.
"I am so sorry
Serena." I give another nod.
Raye used to date Darien, but backed off when she figured out that I liked
him. I could never lie, or
betray Raye. She's like my sister. She hugged me and let me cry in her arms.
She calmed
me down, and finally I went to sleep, wondering why Darien did this to me.
