Mr. Midnight
Prologue
Darien and Serena Daniels lived across the street from each other their whole lives. Darien, being a year older than Serena, was living with his mother. His father had gone to Japan for studies and the relationship between the family fell apart. The younger Serena also lived with just her mother, but it was an all-out divorce.
The two mothers met one day because they got their mail mixed up. There is always something about two families with the same last name living across the street from each other. After the women met, they sent their children over for "play dates" where friendship soon blossomed.
Serena and Darien spent hours swinging on the front porch swing. They would fight and see who could go higher. Nothing could separate them. They were the perfect couple. At school, they had no other friends. Hey were constantly teased for playing with each other. Darien and his counterpart didn't care. They wanted it to stay that way forever.
Nothing lasts forever…
It was the first day of Serena's eighth grade year. Darien would be leaving to go to a new school to-day. She would be losing her only friend and she didn't know what to do.
"Darien! Get over here! I am going to drive you to school to-day!" Tara Daniels yelled as her son ran through the front door, "Or not…" She sighed 'I hope everything goes okay with those two.' Smiling, she went back to getting ready for work.
Darien ran across the street. Climbing up the creaky steps of Serena's old Victorian house, He ran to the door and stopped in his tracks. She was watching him from the swing.
"Sere? What are you doing there? You are supposed to be getting ready for school, aren't you?"
"No. I don't start school for another week." She looked at him, her eyes full of tears.
"Don't cry. I know it's all changing, but we'll be at the same school next year, right?"
'Yeah, and you'll have friends and you won't want to talk to me. I will be all alone…" The tears were streaming down her face now.
"Sere! I will never do that! You know you are my VERY best friend! Actually, I am very nervous; I don't know what to do! What if people don't like me, you know?"
"Who couldn't like you Dare? You are THE coolest guy in the world." She replied smiling through the tears.
"I know what will make you happy; let's make a pact right here and now. No matter what happens, we can ALWAYS talk to each other and we will always be there for each other."
"Even if you were on the other side of the world?"
"Even if I was on the moon!"
"Okay!" They shook hands and hugged each other before Darien ran off to catch his first ever bus ride in High School.
It wasn't always as they said. When Darien was 17, and Serena 16, they had almost completely stopped talking. They never went to each other's house, or even traded mail. Everything that their mothers had achieved had been reduced to nothing.
"Darien, dear! You need to take this magazine over to Ilene for me. She will be expecting it! She never misses an issue!"
"Mom, I can't. Andrew is waiting for me. We are going out to-night." Darien whined.
"Listen to me, if you want to go out ANYWHERE to-night, you will take it now. I have to go to a conference and I am late, so you will take it to her and don't expect me till tomorrow. I'll probably stay overnight."
"Fine, mom." Darien said, "I love you! Bye!" Ms. Daniels ran out of the door and into her car. Darien grabbed the magazine and trudged across the street. Checking out his surroundings, he knocked on the door. It was huge and had a stained glass window. He could see someone stirring in the old house. She was small, and blonde. It was his Sere. He had not seen her in at least a year. There were other people in the house with her. One of the four girls, the one with dark raven hair answered the door.
"Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I was wondering if Ilene was here."
"Nope, sorry. Serena is here, though."
"Oh. Great. Can I speak with her?"
"I'll ask!" she said and turned into the house, "Serena! Some guy here wants to talk to you!" She gave a few grunts of approval and turned back to Darien, "She said she hates you and she never wants to talk to you again.
His heart sank, "Really?"
"No, silly. Here she's coming."
Serena walked up to the door. She was wearing a blue tank and blue cloudy pajama pants, "What do YOU want?"
"My mom said that your mom would be expecting this."
"She's out of town. You'll have to come back."
"What's with all the hostility Sere? Why are you upset?"
"Hmm… let's think. You haven't spoken to me in over a year, how am I supposed to feel?"
"What about you Sere? You never came over. Not even to bring me my mail!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen! The fight of the century!" An outspoken blonde yelled to the other girls.
"Maybe we should take this outside." Darien offered.
"I don't think so, Dare. This conversation is over." She turned away and slammed the door. Darien walked back to his house and sat on the couch. He didn't feel like going out, after all. He had just dozed off to bed before the phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered it.
"Hi. May I please speak with the head of the household?"
"Um.. My mom is out right now, may I take a message?"
"Yes, this phone call concerns Tara Daniels. She was in a fatal car crash this evening. I apologize, kid. There's nothing I can do. We will have someone from social services contact you father tonight. We will have you in a home by tomorrow."
"Thank you." Was all he could say. He put down the phone and walked to the couch. Gazing across the street, he saw the rain fall on the ground. Thinking of his freshman year, he ran out the door. Climbing the steps, he slowed and knocked on the door. She couldn't be that mad. She was the only one he could talk to. She had to understand. When the same girl came to the door, he walked right past her. He entered the living room and saw a group of girls eating popcorn and watching a movie. She took one look at him and saw something was wrong. Tears clouded his eyes and he ran out of the house.
"Dare! Come back!" She yelled. He stopped in the middle of the road. The rain was pouring more steadily now. They were drenched to the bone, "What's wrong? What do you need?"
"You aren't that mad, are you?"
"No, I'm not. I am so sorry, Dare. I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
"Sere, I'll miss you. I promise I will come back and see you again. You are all I have left."
"What do you mean? You have plenty of friends."
"None of them as good as you. Sere, I am going to have to leave. My mom… she got in a car crash… she's not coming back."
"On no! Dare, are you ok? Do you need anything?"
"No, just promise me that you'll never forget."
"Forget what?" She asked meekly.
"This." He closed his lips in hers for a brief moment. Looking into her deep blue eyes he said, "I love you Serena. I always have. You are my true best friend. Thank you for that." He ran into his house. She stood out in the rain staring at his house. What was she going to do? She had just lost the one person who ever meant anything to her. Struggling to reach her house, tears fell from her eyes. When she went back inside she only found a note from her friends. It read:
Serena,
It looks that you need a break. We know how much he means to you. We will have this party some other time, okay?
The Girls
P.S. Mina would like you to know that she saw that kiss and you'll NEVER live it down.
Chuckling at her friends' humor, Serena imagined her blonde friend, often mistaken as her sister, spying on two people in the middle of the street. Serena couldn't help but think of him. She had ignored him for a year, how mean. She changed clothes and went to her bed.
When Serena awoke the next morning she yelled, "Oh my gosh! I wonder if I can catch him! It's so late!" The clock read 1:00 in the afternoon. She ran down her steps in time to see a moving truck pull out of the driveway of his house. He was gone.
Andrew had never met this girl before. He was apprehensive about talking to her. Why did Darien have to do this to him? When Serena answered the door, he made small talk before giving her the small box in his hand. She bid him farewell and went inside her house.
Serena opened the box. Inside there was a ring with a single rose in the center. A note was attached to the box. When opened, it read:
Sere,
This ring is for you. I have had it forever but I was always too nervous to give it to you. Forgive my tardiness. I hope I see you again. If I ever find you, I promise to be with you forever.
With Love,
Dare
