Love Doesn't Always Come First

By Dreamberry

Chapter 9

            The next morning, both woke up with bags under their eyes.  At breakfast, it seemed that Endymion and Serenity were the only ones there.  Everyone else seemed to be in their own worlds.  Then they all got up and went their separate ways in pairs of boy and girl.  Serenity and Endymion just laughed.

            "Well, I have some work to do so I'll see you later," Endymion said.

            "Bye," she said.  Serenity finished her second plate of bacon and eggs then set off for the rose garden.  When she was nearing the courtyard, she saw, or mostly felt, a presence lurking in the shadows.  The shadow moved closer, letting the light reveal him.  "No!  It can't be!  What are you doing here?" Serenity shouted to the last person she wanted to see...

(AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm going to stop here!  See if you can guess who the person is and how many of you saw that coming?  Oh, and by the way, I was just kidding about stopping here.)  Philip, her ex-boyfriend.  "Shouldn't you be with the slutty bitch, Elizabeth (her two-timing ex-friend)?  Why did you come here?  Get lost you m^@#$% f*!~@$% a@!#$%^!" she screamed.  He staggered toward Serenity.  Even from far away, the strong stench of alcohol reached her nostrils.

            "I want you back, baby.  I miss you.  Come here," he pathetically pleaded.  Then, he firmly grabbed her around her waist but she twirled out of it.

            "Stop it!  Leave me alone!  Get your drunk ass off me!  Please let go!  Come on, just let go so we can go somewhere.  Please!" she begged.  But Philip didn't loosen his grip.  He grabbed her chin and pulled it close to his. His breath smelled horrible.  He leaned in to kiss but because of his impaired coordination, he missed.  Serenity used this to her advantage.  She dodged his lips and ran away...

Okay, I know I was really unfair with that eighty review thing.  So I wont make you all wait that long for the next one.  Thank you Leifang Fan for all your reviews.  That's real dedication.  Also, everyone else who reviewed.  You all have good dedication too.
