Chapter 12- The Shows Over
Serena runs over to the pile of the now broken set. She couldn't see Darien anywhere and immediately thought that he was underneath it."Darien! Darien where are you!" She said as she dug through the debris. Everyone ran to the stage. They started to dig through the rubble. When they found him he was knocked unconscious. Serena heart stopped when she saw him. He looked so helpless and it was all her fault. They didn't want to move him for fear of causing more injuries. Some one called the paramedics and a few minutes later they arrived. They whelled him out and he still wasn't awake yet. Tears ran down Serena's face as she watched him go. The girls grabbed her arm and they all got into a car and drove to the hospital.
They all sat in the waiting room, anxiously hoping the doctor would come out and say that he was ok. What was taking so long? The wait was killing Serena. The only thing that she could think about was that split second he pushed her out of the way. The scene kept replaying in her mind. He was hurt because of her, as if she didn't hurt him enough already. She said all those things to him. All the things that can't be taken back. All this time he loved her and she was to stupid to see it. All the things he said at the party, all the kisses they shared, all the hugs, it was all real for him and yet to her it was thought to be an act. She didn't even consider his feelings and that day he tried to talk to her she totally brushed him aside. How could she be so crule? Why didn't she ever try to make the best of it. That was all he did. He tried which was more that she could say and all this time he was being truthful and she wasn't. But then again was she acting or was it real for her too? She did like being with him when his ego wasn't in the way. Yet he could be so annoying at times.Why is love so complicated? Then like a ton of bricks she realized what she just thought. Love. She was thinking about love. Why would she associate love with him unless... She loved him. She must have loved him the whole time and yet it took her a false marriage and broken bones to figure that out. ( It's about time don't you think )
The doctor walks out of the room and has a smile on his face. They all stand waiting to hear the news "Dont worry he'll be fine. He is a strong guy. Its just a couple of broken ribs and a minor concussion. He just needs some rest and he'll be up in a few days."
"So he'll be up in time for the show?" Rei asked seeming cold. Mina then hits her for being so inconsiderate.
"Well he'll have to take it easy but yes he can be in the show." The doctor walks away as Serena sighed with relief. He was ok but it still didn't make her feel better. She was the one who got him into this mess. While the girls were talking to each other Serena slipped away. She walked down the hall to elevator and just as the door was closing Amy ran up and got in.
"Serena where are you going? Dont you want to see him?"
"I cant see him." she says turning away.
"Why not? Are you still mad at him? Look i know he made a mistake but we all do."
"No i'm not mad at him. I just cant bare to look at him in a hospital bed knowing that i put him there."
"Serena what are you talking about?"
"He got hurt because of me Amy. He pushed me out of the way because he didn't want me getting hurt, after all i did to him he still cared about my well-being."
"Serena you cant blame yourself for that."
"I hurt him. It is my fault whether you realize it or not. I guess pain goes both ways. I hurt him by being the cold hearted ice queen and he hurts me by being the totally moronic sweet guy he is." She said as her eyes became waterlogged.
"Serena, I don't think he blames you for anything. He cares about you. Alot. From what i can see i think you feel the same." Serena stood in silence after Amy's comment.
The elevator door opens and Serena gives Amy a hug. "Thank you for trying to cheer me up but i gotta go think things out." She walks away as the elevator door closes.
Serena went for a drive to clear her head. She drove for hours. She didn't know where she was going she just kept driving. Going where ever the road takes her, thinking that it might take her away from her problems but she knew no matter how far or where she went the problems would still be there. She finally looked around to see where she ended up and knew where she was. Pulling on to the side of the road, Serena got out of the car and started walking into a treed area. Behind all the trees was a beautiful isolated beach. White sand and blue water. She walked along the shore clearing her mind.
"Serena!" Darien woke up in a cold sweat. He put his hand on his side in pain. He then truly looked around and saw that he was in a hospital room. There were flowers, cards, gift baskets, and ballons everywhere. He looked out the window and saw that the sun was shining.
A nurse walks into the room."O so your up."
"Where am i?" He says trying to sit up but the pain stopped him.
"Hope Springs General Hospital. You got hurt yesterday." Darien lets his head rest on the pillow. Looking at the get well balloon next to him, he wondered if any of the things in the room were from Serena. Then four extremely peppy girls bust into the room with flower and ballons in hand.
"Darien your awake. How are you?" A merry Lita says as she puts the flowers down.
"I've been better. Is Serena with you?" Everyone's smile faded and they looked away. He knew what they were trying to hide "I see."
Amy walks up to him and sits in the chair next to the bed "Its not that she didn't want to come it's just that..."
"Amy you dont have to cheer me up. I'm ok. She couldn't make it i understand." Everyone could see that he was trying to hide what he truly felt. They knew he was hurting deep down inside so they didn't push it. The girls stayed for a while. They had to go to rehearsal so they said good bye and walked out of the room.
Rei was furious. "How can she do that to him. He got hurt and the least she could do is see him."
Amy looked at the ground "Rei maybe it's not that simple with them anymore. There is so much more at play now. I think that they need their time." Rei knew what she meant. There was much more to it now. Now they were sure about their feelings. Its confessing them that's the problem.
All day long people were there to visit him. Chad, Ken, Andrew and Greg came bringing Darien some "real food." They told him about everything that was going on at the club. After that other people from the club came to tell him to feel better. Even though all those people came to see him he never saw the one person he wanted to see. The president him self could come and see him and he wouldn't care. All he cared about was that one girl. He waited all day hoping that maybe a certain blonde angel would walk through door with a smile on her face, forgive him for what he's done and that they would be together again but all his waiting and wishing didn't do any good. He drifted off into a dreamless sleep waiting but she never came.
It was the day before Darien could go home and everyone came that day telling him about how magnificent the show was going to be and how good it would be when he came back. They kept saying that rehearsal wasn't the same with out him. Yet no one mentioned Serena. They didn't seemed to noticed that Serena wasn't even at any of them. All they could think about was what would happen when Darien came back. It was so crazy that they didn't even notice the lead not being there.
Yet again Darien waited for her to come but it was late and he was forced to sleep. The nurse gave him something to help him along since she knew that he wouldn't go to bed on his own.
Late that night Serena walked out of the elevator. She walked up to Darien's door and stood there. She was scared to go in. Tears filled her eyes when she though of how she did this to him. She didn't want to leave but she didn't want to stay and see him in pain either.
The nurse was passing by and saw a young blonde woman just standing in front of the door staring at it. "Miss i'm sorry but visiting hours are over you'll have to come back tomorrow."
Serena looked like she were going to cry. "I'm sorry ."
The nurse saw how distraught she was and noticed who she was "Wait a minute your Serena Shield. Well thats different. I can't deprive a wife of seeing her husband. " She then opens the door a crack and leaves. Serena didn't want to go in but she had to. Slowly she opened the door and saw all the gifts that people gave him. She didn't get him anything though so that made her feel worse. She saw him laying on the bed. He looked so peaceful. She walked in and sat in the chair adjacent to his bed. She just sat there for and hour staring at him. He looked different now. He was so much more handsome. She studied him for a while. Gently running her finger along his features, brushing the hair away from his face and held his hand. She held his hand up to her face as tears ran down. She started to talk to him even though he was asleep.
"You know i hate to admit it but your kind of cute when you sleep. Can you believe that we spent this whole time thinking that we didn't need one another when in truth all we really have is each other." She smiles then returns to her serious face "I dont get it though. What happened to that arrogent conceited guy i hated so much?" She looked at him "No matter how many times i think it through in my head something still puzzles me. Why? Why me? Why did you do what you did? Why didn't you tell me how you felt? Why did you have to push me out of the way?!" Serena was full blown crying now. "I would have been perfectly happy being crushed. I deserved it but not you. Why do you have to be so complicated!" Serena then felt a little silly. She yelling at a guy who was sleeping and couldn't hear her. "Look at me. Talking to a sleeping person at insane hours of the night." She looked at the time. It was three in the morning and she just spent two hours in a hospital. One of which were she sat in silence. She got up and gently kissed him on the head."I love you." When she tried to let go of his hand but it was hard for her to do. A part of her didn't want to leave him but she finally let go and left.
Today is the day. It was the day that Darien was being released from the hospital. All the nurses were sad that he was leaving. Hey just because he's married doesn't meant they still couldn't dream. He was still the same irresistible guy he was before he got married.
Mina and Andrew walk into the room while Darien was getting this things together. "Hey the guys are waiting outside. Do you want any help?" Andrew says watching him.
Darien smiles "No it's ok i can handle it."
They nod and leave. Then the doctor walks in."Before you go i'm going to give you this prescription for pain and i think thats it. Your free to go." Just as the doctor was walking out the door the nurse popped in.
"I had to say goodbye to my favorite patient." Darien smiled and gave her a hug. " Now you go home to that charming wife of yours." Darien's smile faded. "Why so down? O i know. Hey look i wouldn't blame the girl. She couldn't help it."
Darien looked up. How did she know what was going on? "What do you mean by that?"
"Look i know she never came to see you when you were awake, i figured that she just never had the time to. I hear your little wifey has her hands full with the show and all."
"You mean she came to see me."
"O yea. It was pretty late though. When i saw the worry in her eyes i couldn't keep her away from you. You go home and forgive her for not coming to see you more often. I'm sure she's sorry. " Darien nodded. That news made his day. She came to see him. He walked out of the room with a smile on his face. Mina and Andrew stood there waiting for him with a wheel chair. He looked at them like they were crazy.
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Nope its hospital policy." Andrew said with a grin. Mina dragged Darien to the chair and he sits down. Then they wheeled him out to the car.
When they got to the house it was so much more brighter in there. Probably because Darien was letting the sun shine through now. The curtains and doors were open letting the sun light and breeze in.
"Look you guys i appreciate all that you've done but i think i can handle it from here." They nod and Amy walks up to him and gave him a hug.
"If you ever need anything we are just a phone call away."
Darien started to laugh. "Amy you dont have to sound like such a mom. I'm a big boy i can take care of myself." Amy smiles. Darien waved to them as they left to show that he was ok. He made his way to the elevator. He was about to walk to his room when he saw Serena's door. He couldn't walk by the room with out going in. Walking in, the room had a feel to it that always made him feel at ease. Maybe because it had her smell in it or it could be that knowing that she once was there. He was tired. He sits down on her bed and looked the picture that was on the nightstand. It was the same picture he looked at last time and the time before that but everytime he looked at it there was always something new that he noticed. The way her hair was, the gum wrapper ring that she had on her finger, or how happy he was that night. It was a great night.
Just then the door started to open. "Thomas i dont need any ....." Darien stopped mid sentence when he saw who was at the door. None other than Serena herself. "Serena what are you doing here?"
"The last time i checked this was my room." Darien felt kind of stupid for asking the question. "I just came to get something." Darien looked at the wall . "And i wanted to see how you were doing." He couldn't believe it. Was she worried about him? He was so overjoyed that she thought of him but he couldn't say anything the only thing he could do was nod his head and motion that he was ok. Serena walks across the room to the closet and grabs a box that was in there. She gives him a smile "So your ok ." She said looking at the contents in the box . "I guess i'll go now." She says before walking out the door.
"O real smooth Darien what the hell was that?" The all of the sudden the door pops open again and Serena comes rushing in.
"Look i just want to know one thing." She says frustrated "Why did you push me out of the way?"
He gives his devilish little smile "A prince has to protect his princess."
She gives and angry grunt. Why did he have to go and say that. She was prepared for a dumb answer but not for a good one. She sat on the edge of the bed shaking her head "Why? Why me? Of all the girls here you had to chose me."
He moves to be closer to her "Well you were different then the rest of them."
"Yea i know i was the only one who didn't like you."She turns to look at him.
"Yea that , still cant understand why, but also because you have a light to you that other girls don't have and i found you absolutely, with out a doubt, completely irresistible. " By then he was right beside her.He had his arms behind her and the other on her shoulder. She looked at the ground now. Looking at him made her scared. She never wanted to fall in love with anyone ever again but now she's screwed. Everytime she looked at him she got weak in the knees she was just as bad as the other girls. His voice was gentle and calming now "Serena i know that we have had our differences and i know that there are things about me that you dislike but i'm willing to work at it if you let me try. I love being with you and i love the way you make me feel." He paused and moved closer to her. As close as he could get. " I love you and i want to be with you. Please Serena." He waited for a reply but she just sat there. One minute passed by but it seemed i an eternity. Until finally she looked at him.
"Amanda."
"I know you must hate me but..." She puts her finger over his mouth.
"Amanda drugged you. She was trying to expose us but she didnt expect that you truly did..... love me......and i guess she didnt expect me to .... love you back." She stared into his deep blue eyes and she knew he would try to ruin the moment. He was about to talk when she puts her hand up to stop him. "I just want you to know that ... I'm sorry. I should have let you talk and i should never have said all those things to you." She had tears streaming down her face.
"It's all forgotten." He wipes her tears. "So." A devilish smile then grew on his face. "You love me huh?"
"You always know the perfect way to ruin a moment dont you."
"Well i'm just saying that even you found me so charming that you had to fall in love with me." She couldn't believe him.
"You are so conceited i think im taking back all the things i just said." She then accidentally hits his side. He then backs up in pain and Serena puts her hand over her mouth she never meant to do that. "Oh god im so sorry are you ok?"
"No. I think i should get a kiss for my pain." He then points to his cheek. Serena stared at him in disbelief . He was unbelieveable.
"I am not going to kiss you."
"Ow im in so much pain." he says putting his hand on his side.
"Ok fine." She leans in and is about to kiss him when he grabs her and kisses her so passionately. Serena could do nothing but give in. He had his arms wrapped around her and she had hers around him. It has been so long since they were close. It felt so good. He finally pulls away for air. He was holding an angel in his arms and all he could do was stare into her big ocean blue eyes. She smiles at him and he leans in to kiss her again. Laying her down on the bed and holding her close was the end of it. All the hate was gone. All the bad times were wiped away. All the longing they had dissappeared not to mention they're clothes but we won't get into that. They were together again and it was a great feeling.
********** Cut to the show ****************
Serena and Darien walks out on stage and they smile at each other. It was the end of the show and this was the ending song. The music starts and Serena lifts her microphone.
Serena : Ooooo The way our hands fit The way our eyes meet
The way i melt when your holding me
There's not a peice that's out of place
I can see the way i feel it's written on your face
There is no mistake baby
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
Darien : The way i talk The way you listen
The way you know just what i'm thinking
Long before i even say it
I'll never understand it and I pray it never ends
Both : But i know where it begins baby
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
A love this strong isn't bound by time or space
Anything or place
Whats meant to be will be
I was meant for you You were meant for me
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
Serena : The way i tremble when you touch me
Both : The way i shiver when you say you love me, Yea yea
Darien : When you say you love me
The curtains close and all the cast members walk out and spread across the stage in time for the curtains to reopens. They all took a bow and the curtains closed one again. Serena and Darien were standing hand in hand the whole time.
After the show everybody was back stage congradulating themselves on a job well done. All the people crowded around Darien telling him how good he was. He stuck his head above the crownd and looked around for Serena but she wasn't anywhere in sight. He started to walk around looking for her. When he walked into the hall Serena ambushed him from behind but he was ready for that and put his arms around her. The pulled her close and kissed her. Looking into her eyes he smiles "Show's over now. Happy?" Serena stood there in his arms and didn't say anything "What are you thinking?"
She smiles "I was just thinking how a couple of weeks ago being with you in this position would have made me sick."
"And now?"
"Still a little sick."
"What?!?" Darien started to tickle her.
"Ok stop i was joking." He smiles and kisses her again. It felt so good to finally show his true feelings. It felt good to tell his wife that he loves her. It was good that everything was over now. He was right the show was over. Both of them. No more acting no more lying. It was all done with. They could move on. All that was left now was to be real. To let the feelings out, to be together.
Darien was about to pull Serena close for another kiss when an overly excited Mina comes running up. "You guys won't believe what's happened!!!" Serena stood in Darien's arms and motioned her to continue. "Andrew asked me to marry him!!!!" Serena and Darien congradulated her as she jumped up and down giddily "I'm so happy!! I guess catching the bouquet does work!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*
I revealed who caught the bouquet at Serena's wedding. So that answers that question if anyone was wondering. This is the end. Its done. Finito. Complete. I know the endings a little corny and a bit emotional but hey it's one of those stories. Thank you for bearing with me and thanks for all the feedback. O Yea and if you wanted to know the last song is "I was made to love you" by K-otic. See ya later ^_~

The doctor walks out of the room and has a smile on his face. They all stand waiting to hear the news "Dont worry he'll be fine. He is a strong guy. Its just a couple of broken ribs and a minor concussion. He just needs some rest and he'll be up in a few days."
"So he'll be up in time for the show?" Rei asked seeming cold. Mina then hits her for being so inconsiderate.

She was the one who got him into this mess. While the girls were talking to each other Serena slipped away. She walked down the hall to elevator and just as the door was closing Amy ran up and got in.
"Serena where are you going? Dont you want to see him?"
"I cant see him." she says turning away.
"Why not? Are you still mad at him? Look i know he made a mistake but we all do."
"No i'm not mad at him. I just cant bare to look at him in a hospital bed knowing that i put him there."
"Serena what are you talking about?"
"He got hurt because of me Amy. He pushed me out of the way because he didn't want me getting hurt, after all i did to him he still cared about my well-being."
"Serena you cant blame yourself for that."
"I hurt him. It is my fault whether you realize it or not. I guess pain goes both ways. I hurt him by being the cold hearted ice queen and he hurts me by being the totally moronic sweet guy he is." She said as her eyes became waterlogged.
"Serena, I don't think he blames you for anything. He cares about you. Alot. From what i can see i think you feel the same." Serena stood in silence after Amy's comment.
The elevator door opens and Serena gives Amy a hug. "Thank you for trying to cheer me up but i gotta go think things out." She walks away as the elevator door closes.
Serena went for a drive to clear her head. She drove for hours. She didn't know where she was going she just kept driving.

"Darien your awake. How are you?" A merry Lita says as she puts the flowers down.
"I've been better. Is Serena with you?" Everyone's smile faded and they looked away. He knew what they were trying to hide "I see."
Amy walks up to him and sits in the chair next to the bed "Its not that she didn't want to come it's just that..."
"Amy you dont have to cheer me up. I'm ok. She couldn't make it i understand." Everyone could see that he was trying to hide what he truly felt. They knew he was hurting deep down inside so they didn't push it. The girls stayed for a while. They had to go to rehearsal so they said good bye and walked out of the room.

Why did you have to push me out of the way?!" Serena was full blown crying now. "I would have been perfectly happy being crushed. I deserved it but not you. Why do you have to be so complicated!" Serena then felt a little silly. She yelling at a guy who was sleeping and couldn't hear her. "Look at me. Talking to a sleeping person at insane hours of the night." She looked at the time. It was three in the morning and she just spent two hours in a hospital. One of which were she sat in silence. She got up and gently kissed him on the head."I love you." When she tried to let go of his hand but it was hard for her to do. A part of her didn't want to leave him but she finally let go and left.
Today is the day. It was the day that Darien was being released from the hospital. All the nurses were sad that he was leaving. Hey just because he's married doesn't meant they still couldn't dream. He was still the same irresistible guy he was before he got married.
Mina and Andrew walk into the room while Darien was getting this things together. "Hey the guys are waiting outside. Do you want any help?" Andrew says watching him.
Darien smiles "No it's ok i can handle it."
They nod and leave. Then the doctor walks in."Before you go i'm going to give you this prescription for pain and i think thats it. Your free to go." Just as the doctor was walking out the door the nurse popped in.
"I had to say goodbye to my favorite patient." Darien smiled and gave her a hug. " Now you go home to that charming wife of yours." Darien's smile faded. "Why so down? O i know. Hey look i wouldn't blame the girl. She couldn't help it."
Darien looked up. How did she know what was going on? "What do you mean by that?"
"Look i know she never came to see you when you were awake, i figured that she just never had the time to. I hear your little wifey has her hands full with the show and all."
"You mean she came to see me."
"O yea. It was pretty late though. When i saw the worry in her eyes i couldn't keep her away from you. You go home and forgive her for not coming to see you more often. I'm sure she's sorry. " Darien nodded. That news made his day. She came to see him. He walked out of the room with a smile on his face. Mina and Andrew stood there waiting for him with a wheel chair. He looked at them like they were crazy.
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Nope its hospital policy." Andrew said with a grin. Mina dragged Darien to the chair and he sits down. Then they wheeled him out to the car.
When they got to the house it was so much more brighter in there. Probably because Darien was letting the sun shine through now. The curtains and doors were open letting the sun light and breeze in.
"Look you guys i appreciate all that you've done but i think i can handle it from here." They nod and Amy walks up to him and gave him a hug.
"If you ever need anything we are just a phone call away."
Darien started to laugh. "Amy you dont have to sound like such a mom. I'm a big boy i can take care of myself." Amy smiles. Darien waved to them as they left to show that he was ok. He made his way to the elevator. He was about to walk to his room when he saw Serena's door. He couldn't walk by the room with out going in. Walking in, the room had a feel to it that always made him feel at ease. Maybe because it had her smell in it or it could be that knowing that she once was there. He was tired. He sits down on her bed and looked the picture that was on the nightstand. It was the same picture he looked at last time and the time before that but everytime he looked at it there was always something new that he noticed. The way her hair was, the gum wrapper ring that she had on her finger, or how happy he was that night. It was a great night.
Just then the door started to open. "Thomas i dont need any ....." Darien stopped mid sentence when he saw who was at the door. None other than Serena herself. "Serena what are you doing here?"
"The last time i checked this was my room." Darien felt kind of stupid for asking the question. "I just came to get something." Darien looked at the wall . "And i wanted to see how you were doing." He couldn't believe it. Was she worried about him? He was so overjoyed that she thought of him but he couldn't say anything the only thing he could do was nod his head and motion that he was ok. Serena walks across the room to the closet and grabs a box that was in there. She gives him a smile "So your ok ." She said looking at the contents in the box . "I guess i'll go now." She says before walking out the door.
"O real smooth Darien what the hell was that?" The all of the sudden the door pops open again and Serena comes rushing in.
"Look i just want to know one thing." She says frustrated "Why did you push me out of the way?"
He gives his devilish little smile "A prince has to protect his princess."
She gives and angry grunt. Why did he have to go and say that. She was prepared for a dumb answer but not for a good one. She sat on the edge of the bed shaking her head "Why? Why me? Of all the girls here you had to chose me."
He moves to be closer to her "Well you were different then the rest of them."
"Yea i know i was the only one who didn't like you."She turns to look at him.
"Yea that , still cant understand why, but also because you have a light to you that other girls don't have and i found you absolutely, with out a doubt, completely irresistible. " By then he was right beside her.He had his arms behind her and the other on her shoulder. She looked at the ground now. Looking at him made her scared. She never wanted to fall in love with anyone ever again but now she's screwed. Everytime she looked at him she got weak in the knees she was just as bad as the other girls. His voice was gentle and calming now "Serena i know that we have had our differences and i know that there are things about me that you dislike but i'm willing to work at it if you let me try. I love being with you and i love the way you make me feel." He paused and moved closer to her. As close as he could get. " I love you and i want to be with you. Please Serena." He waited for a reply but she just sat there. One minute passed by but it seemed i an eternity. Until finally she looked at him.
"Amanda."
"I know you must hate me but..." She puts her finger over his mouth.
"Amanda drugged you. She was trying to expose us but she didnt expect that you truly did..... love me......and i guess she didnt expect me to .... love you back." She stared into his deep blue eyes and she knew he would try to ruin the moment. He was about to talk when she puts her hand up to stop him. "I just want you to know that ... I'm sorry. I should have let you talk and i should never have said all those things to you." She had tears streaming down her face.
"It's all forgotten." He wipes her tears. "So." A devilish smile then grew on his face. "You love me huh?"
"You always know the perfect way to ruin a moment dont you."
"Well i'm just saying that even you found me so charming that you had to fall in love with me." She couldn't believe him.
"You are so conceited i think im taking back all the things i just said." She then accidentally hits his side. He then backs up in pain and Serena puts her hand over her mouth she never meant to do that. "Oh god im so sorry are you ok?"
"No. I think i should get a kiss for my pain." He then points to his cheek. Serena stared at him in disbelief . He was unbelieveable.
"I am not going to kiss you."
"Ow im in so much pain." he says putting his hand on his side.
"Ok fine." She leans in and is about to kiss him when he grabs her and kisses her so passionately. Serena could do nothing but give in. He had his arms wrapped around her and she had hers around him. It has been so long since they were close. It felt so good. He finally pulls away for air. He was holding an angel in his arms and all he could do was stare into her big ocean blue eyes. She smiles at him and he leans in to kiss her again. Laying her down on the bed and holding her close was the end of it. All the hate was gone. All the bad times were wiped away. All the longing they had dissappeared not to mention they're clothes but we won't get into that. They were together again and it was a great feeling.
********** Cut to the show ****************
Serena and Darien walks out on stage and they smile at each other. It was the end of the show and this was the ending song. The music starts and Serena lifts her microphone.
Serena : Ooooo The way our hands fit The way our eyes meet
The way i melt when your holding me
There's not a peice that's out of place
I can see the way i feel it's written on your face
There is no mistake baby
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
Darien : The way i talk The way you listen
The way you know just what i'm thinking
Long before i even say it
I'll never understand it and I pray it never ends
Both : But i know where it begins baby
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
A love this strong isn't bound by time or space
Anything or place
Whats meant to be will be
I was meant for you You were meant for me
The way i tremble when you touch me
The way i shiver when you say you love me
One kiss and my heart knew
O baby I was made to love you
Every hour Every minute
With every thought i think you in it
Without a dout i know it's true.
O baby i was made to love you
Serena : The way i tremble when you touch me
Both : The way i shiver when you say you love me, Yea yea
Darien : When you say you love me
The curtains close and all the cast members walk out and spread across the stage in time for the curtains to reopens. They all took a bow and the curtains closed one again. Serena and Darien were standing hand in hand the whole time.
After the show everybody was back stage congradulating themselves on a job well done. All the people crowded around Darien telling him how good he was. He stuck his head above the crownd and looked around for Serena but she wasn't anywhere in sight. He started to walk around looking for her. When he walked into the hall Serena ambushed him from behind but he was ready for that and put his arms around her. The pulled her close and kissed her. Looking into her eyes he smiles "Show's over now. Happy?" Serena stood there in his arms and didn't say anything "What are you thinking?"
She smiles "I was just thinking how a couple of weeks ago being with you in this position would have made me sick."
"And now?"
"Still a little sick."
"What?!?" Darien started to tickle her.
"Ok stop i was joking." He smiles and kisses her again. It felt so good to finally show his true feelings. It felt good to tell his wife that he loves her. It was good that everything was over now. He was right the show was over. Both of them. No more acting no more lying. It was all done with. They could move on. All that was left now was to be real. To let the feelings out, to be together.
Darien was about to pull Serena close for another kiss when an overly excited Mina comes running up. "You guys won't believe what's happened!!!" Serena stood in Darien's arms and motioned her to continue. "Andrew asked me to marry him!!!!" Serena and Darien congradulated her as she jumped up and down giddily "I'm so happy!! I guess catching the bouquet does work!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*
