Chapter Five
The Final Straw
"I'm fine, Darien," Jessica insisted, flinging an arm across her face in exasperation. "Just
like I was the last five times you asked." She giggled half-heartedly and squinted her gorgeous
blue-green eyes against the sun.
Darien laughed too, absently. "Well, when a girl is up crying all night long, so hard she can't
stand up for sobbing out loud..." He grinned sheepishly and tossed an arm around her
shoulders.
Jessica smacked his broad shoulder lightly, then started practically *skipping* down the
street. "I'm so happy Devon called!" She cheered brightly, cuddling against Darien's side.
"Thanks for putting up with me last night, Darien! I don't know what I would've done without
you." She giggled again. "I'd probably be halfway to Tibcow or something."
He chuckled. "I think you mean either Tibet or Tuscow, Jess." He used the arm draped
casually around her shoulder to give her a gentle squeeze.
She smiled slightly, but the light in her face had suddenly dimmed. "Are things going to be
okay with you and your girlfriend?" Jessica asked, turning her searching azure eyes towards
him. "I mean, do you want me to talk to her?"
Darien smiled. Jessica could be so sweet when she wasn't turning those pretty Ocean-colored
eyes red.
"No, that's okay," he announced, grabbing her other hand and swinging it. "Things with Sere
will be just fine."
Jessica wasn't listening. Her shocked baby-blue stare was locked on something a few feet
away.
"What is it, Jess?" Darien asked curiously, following her gaze. But before he could see
anything, the petite blonde had thrown herself in front of his line of vision. He grinned and
tugged her arm until she tripped out of the way, true to her own cute klutziness. His smile
faded, however, when he saw Serena standing ten feet in front of them, a suitcase in hand,
a horrified expression frozen on her angelic face. He looked at his arm around Jessica's
shoulders. He looked at his hand holding her's. He looked back at Serena.
The same horrified expression was now locked securely on his face.
* * *
*Maybe I shouldn't go...* Serena was thinking as she strode slowly down the street. *I mean...
Why should I leave, again, just because of Darien? Rini needs me, and I know the Scouts
didn't mean it. Besides...Who would fight crime? I remember what went down when I left
before...* She turned around, sighing, and started back to her house. She had to stop being
such a baby, running off at every little thing.
Then she saw them, and nearly screamed.
The End!
Just kiddin'. ^_^ Anyway, on with the story!
That perfect, beautiful blonde. Jessica.
Her perfect, gorgeous man. Darien.
Looking like the perfect, attractive couple.
Jessica was staring at Serena, a trapped and scared look on her face. Darien just looked
flabbergasted, maybe a little scared, too.
She dropped her suitcase.
Serena watched as Jessica stood on her toes to whisper something into Darien's ear.
She missed it, but she thought she heard "I'll be at Devon's." Or...
Was it, "Last night was Heaven?"
Serena didn't know, but the other blonde left without a second glance. One look at Darien's
stuck, guilty gaze was all it took. This was the final straw, Serena knew. She picked up her
suitcase. She took one last look at Darien. She sucked in a deep breath. She looked in
the direction of the airport.
And she ran.
