Hello everybody!!! Thanks to the people who reviewed my story. I'm sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I've been on the neverending journey looking for a job and from the look of things I'm knocking them dead (literally) Anyways.....This chapter doesn't really concentrate on Serena and Darien so much. Its kinda off subject, but chapter 6 will make up for this chapter(Hopefully)=^;^=. Expect chapter 6 out on Friday. Oh yeah I'd like to say my thanks to Hitomi De Fanel and Sailor Destiny you guys are great!!! You guys should most definetely need read their stories. Your bound to enjoy them as much as I did. But I've babbled enough..On with the story!!!!!!!
Serena: Thank the moon...She talks to much
SailorTee: And your the one to talk...Meatball head!!!
Disclaimer: Must I do this again?.....I don't own Sailor Moon or any characters.
"Diamond" Serena yelled "Please stop!!!!" He did love the way his name rolled off her lips. She had such an angelic voice but it sounded so distant from him. He couldn't get the picture out his mind. Them kissing her kissing him back.
[She wouldn't betray me on purpose, she's already kissed him once before. Doesn't she know I'd do anything for her....Why Serena? Why? I loved you!!!]
Serena finally caught him in the living sitting on the couch. Before she could say one word he asked
"Do you love him?'
"Why would you ask me that? I love you"
"Boy you sure could've fooled me the way you kissed him back? I know it wasn't my imagination. You kissed him so you have to feel something for him!!! So I'll ask again do you love him?"
"............."
"Well I asked you a question I deserve a answer after you cheated on me!!!"
"No, I feel nothing for him and I didn't cheat on you" she yelled back
He looked at her anger meeting sadness, but he felt nothing [She cheated on me]
"If its not cheating what the FUCK do you call it?" He yelled
"He kissed me...not I kissed him" she cried
Diamond's heart even broke even more he immediately regreted his tone. He walked over to her lifting her chin to look at him. He wiped the tears from her face.
"Serena..I love you so much but I have to let you go...this has made me doubt if you really love me"
"I do....lo....." He put a finger to her lips "SHH" he whispered. He kissed her for the very last time. He tried to savor everything about her. They parted sadly
[Serena I'll love you forever]
"Listen Serena...your obviously confused about my cousin, but when you figure you feelings out don't let him leave cause you my lose him forever. True love waits for you my love all you have to do is reach for it"
"Please Diamond don't do this to me, I need you!!! My heart tells me your the one. I love you can't you believe me" She cried.
Diamond turned around and faced the balcony. It had started to rain. To Diamond outside resembled everything the was feeling. Gloom and Despair. He shook his head
"Please don't make this harder...Just leave." he demanded
She looked at him sadly and made her way to the exit she began now to dread. [Once I walk out I'll never be his again] she stopped abruptly still not facing him she asked "Can we still be friends?"
"Of course""
[Its better than nothing at all] they both thought
~*~*~*~*~*~`*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
For the next couple of months, Serena was just down. She walked around like Half of her soul was missing she was incomplete. Her friends were really worried at study buddies she actucally stayed on task. That worried them alot(AN: it would worry me too). She looked like she hadn't slept in years. The girls decided to study at the arcade. Serena just sat there looking aimlessly into space. The girls looked at eachother.
"Serena please talk to us" Mina cried
"............"
"Please Serena we just want to help" Lita cried
"Meatball Head" Raye choked
".............." she reamained silent
"Serena if you ever want to tell us what happened that day feel free to come to us. We're here for you we will always be here for you.Threw the thick and the thin. Our ears are always open" Amy finished
Serena hugged Amy and said
"Thanks for understanding. I'll tell you when the time comes,I'm gonna go home now."
"OK" the girls looked at Amy surprised
"How'd you do that? How come she talked to you?"Lita asked
Amy just smiled and changed the subject
"What are we gonna do for Serena's birthday?"
"I have it all planned out were gonna throw a surprise birthday party. Mina your going to take her out to see a movie while we set up. When we're done we'll ring you once one your cell. So what ch'ya think of the plan?" Raye said Everybody nodded in agreement
"We should get going, tomorrow is gonna be a big day."
"Mina, you should call Darien and tell him that Serena's birthday is tomorrow. K? Bye guys!" and off was Lita.
Mina spoke up after a few moments.
"Yeah...I'll call Darien tonight. See ya' later guys!" then Mina walked off too.
"Well Raye, it looks like it's just me and you now...do you wanna go to the movies or something?" Amy asked.
"No,not tonight....I have a date with Chad. Hey!! Don't you have a date with Greg?"
Amy blushed a deep tint of red.
"Oops...I guess I forgot..." and then they both went thier separtate ways.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena sat in her room, just looking at the ceiling. She couldn't really feel anymore. For so many days, all she had done was cry and she was beginning to think that she had dried up her well of tears. But every time she saw Diamond she was reminded that he was not hers anymore.
[Just friends] she thought. Serena couldn't stand that term. She longed so much to touch him. After a moment, Serena felt a tear sting her lids.....
[Why does it have to be this hard]
Slowly, Darien creeped into her mind. He hadn't moved out of Diamond's apartment, in fact, he and Diamond became much closer after the break-up. They were like best friends now.
[It was all because I left] One tear escaped her eye.
[Well....I might as well get some sleep. Tomorrow's my birthday and as a birhtday present to myself...I'm gonna figure out my feelings. Oh...if only it were that easy...] she thought before she drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All he could think about was her, he couldn't get her out of his head. He thought since her and Diamond had broken up, that he might have a chance.
[Why don't I give up?! She doesn't love me?!]
*ring*ring*
"Darien, phone." Diamond yelled down the hall.
"Alright, got it!!"
[Could it be her...Serena]
"Hello?"
"Hi Darien! It's Mina. I just called to let chya know that tomorrow is Serena's birthday, and I think you getting her a present would mean alot to her."
"Why would you say that?" he said a little too hopefully. He mentally kicked himself for sounding so eager.
"I dunno...just a feeling."
"Do you know something that I don't?" he asked narrowing his eyes.
"No...are you gonna get her a present or what?"
"I guess so..."
"Alrighty then, bye." She hung up.
Darien hung up the receiver.
[What should I get her?] he thought before he drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Serena's Birthday~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Today's the big day...Serena's birthday....Yippee!!!!!!" Lita cheered
"Geez Lita you make it seems like its your birthday or something. Did you drink too much coffee again, young lady? What have I told you about that?" Amy playfully punched Lita on her arm
"She's gonna be 24!!!!!! Can't someone be happy for her, Crimney"
"Come on you guys let's get this done!!!!" Raye looked at her watch and turned around yelling mocking a lieutenant
"Attention!!!! Operation Meatball is now in motion. Sargent Aino I expect Meatball head to be with you when you return." Mina saluted Raye mockingly
"Afffirmative" Mina was out the door to pick up the birthday girl. Mina got to Serena's in 10 minutes flat. To Mina's surprise Serena was already waiting for her
"Geez Mina what took you so long? Why don't you just take me to the temple now for my not so much of Surprise birthday party." Mina looked at her bewildered then put on her world famous act
"I don't know what your talking about. The girls are all out on dates tonite so I decided to take you to the movies" Serena's face dropped
[Ha!!! So easily fooled]
"Ohhhhhhh....what did you have in mind?" she said defeated
[Darn it I thought I had them figured out this year]
"Mummy Returns....then we're gonna go to Raye's temple she just went shopp....."
"HA!!!! I caught you!!!"
"Huh? What?" Mina said feigning ignorance
"Let's just go to the movie and get this over wit" Serena said
So they went to the movie.Mina sat there thinking. Serena was waiting for Mina's phone to ring.
"5....4....3....2....1"
*RING*
"OK...Mina let's go their waiting for me!!!!" Serena dragged her to the car
"Raye's gonna kill me!!!!!" She whined.
When they arrived at the temple. Mina tried to hold Serena back.
"Please act surprised....please I beg you"
"NO WAY!!! That'll ruin all the fun!!!" Serena shook her head and opened the door
"Ok you guys can come out!!! I know you're here!!! Come on out" Serena yelled
Lita,Raye and Amy looked at eachother.
"How'd she know?" They all whispered to eachother
"Sorry you guys" Mina yelled to them
The girls stood up defeated and dully yelled.
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh you guys are sooooooooooo sweet!!! Where are my presents?"
Serena tore open her first present it was from Raye. Its was a black halter dress with a flame design coming up from the hem. She also got her the matching purse. Lita's present was a cookbook of all Serena's favorite munchies and a apron that said World's greatest friend. Amy brought Serena a $50 gift certificate to Barnes&Noble. Mina walked up to her.
"Here..its not much"
She peeled of the wrappping paper its was a picture of Her, Diamond and the girls at Cedar Point. Serena looked at the picture sadly
[I guess I should tell them]
"Cake and Ice cream" Raye yelled
"Nope we sing first" Mina said
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday Dear Serena!!! Happy birthday to you!!!!!"
"Make a wish" They all yelled
Serena blew out her candles smiling
"What ch'ya wish for?" Lita asked
Serena shook her head and looked at the picture Mina gave to her.
"I think I'm ready to tell you guys"
"Tell us what" they all said
She looked away "What happened to me and Diamond"
Serena started the story from the very beginning. they all listened intently adimitting to themselves only that if they were in the same situation they'd be as confused as Serena. She had just finished her story when the doorbell rang
"We're not expecting anyone"
"I'll get it" Serena ran to the door to see the person see dreaded the most right at the second.
"Hi Serena"
"Hi Darien" she said faking a smile
"Can I come in?
"Sure its not my place" He walked in greeting the girls with his charming smile
"Hello ladies"
"Hi Darien" they all chimed like little girls. Serena just rolled her eyes
"Why are you here?" She asked her voice laced with coldness
"I come baring gifts, ummm Diamond was pre-occupied so he sent me" He handed her the gifts.
"Oh remind me to thank him later" she said sarcastically
"Aren't you gonna open'em?" Lita asked
"No...not right now. Can I talk you...Serena?" the rest of the group looked at him interested
"Outside?"
"Sure" they walked out. The girls ran to the door to hear what they we're gonna say *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Outside~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Serena why have you been avoiding me? I was perfectly okay with being friends as you put it but you've been avoiding me. You don't have to been scared of me you know I'm human like the next person."
"Well after those last two times you basically jum....."
"Lets not go there again...I came to give you your present from me...Here." She grabbed it and opened it. It was a necklace with a bunny sitting on a cresent moon. On the back was a name craved in it To: Usa my little bunny.
"Oh Darien its beautiful" he walked up to her and took the necklace
"Here let me get it on for you.......you know this necklace isn't as half as beautiful as you." She turned around to looked into those midnight blue eyes she was beginning to love.
"You mean that?" she asked
"Yes" he leaned in towards her face. the space lessening between them. Their noses barely touched when he heard a loud bang.
"Oh don't mind us" Lita said
Serena had jumped away from Darien looking as gulity as ever.
"Oh Lita, you weren't interrupting anything. Darien was just about to leave" She said
"Yeah...about to leave. I'll see you around." He walked away
"Serena you have one more present" Mina said
Serena watched Darien go sadly not even listening to her friends.
"You know I'm gonna take that present and go. Thanks for the party it was fun. Bye you guys. Thanks again" She ran into the night after Darien. She didn't have any luck finding him. So she went off to her apartment. She looked at the present in her hand it was from Diamond. She opened the box it was a crystal rose with her name written in gold. [This is beautiful..I'll have to thank him for this tomorrow]
