Genre: Drama, Romance
I kinda got inspirited for this story after seeing a walk to remember and the video "Cry" so yeah and there will be a 2nd one to this. In this story everyone is 18 and go to the same school, the girls didn't find out they where Sailor Scouts until they where almost 17 and this is Darien's POV most of the story.
It was a beautiful spring night, the scouts and I were at Raye's temple celebrating our victory over the Nega-Moon but Serena still wasn't there…
"She's late!" Raye yelled
"Don't worry Raye; I'm sure Serena's got a good explanation." Lita said as she took a bite out of her sandwich
"But it is late, even for Serena." I said, as I thought of my darling Meatball head running down people to get there.
"Did you try her on the communicator?" Amy asked
"Yes and we juts got static." Luna said
"I've got a bad feeling scouts." Artemis said
"Why don't we go look for her?" Mina suggested
Everybody nodded, Luna and Artemis went towards Serena's house, Lita and Amy went towards the school and Mina and I went around the downtown area and the park while Raye stayed at the temple in case Serena showed up. Mina and I crossed the busy Tokyo downtown street; the park was right across from it. The street lights turned on.
"Do you think she's ok?" Mina asked. I had a worried look on my face.
"I don't know." I said as we walked around the park, I turned my head to the garden by the familiar bench we usually met for dates and sure enough there she was, lying there looking up at the stars.
"Mina, there she is." I said happily, gesturing to the young girl lying on the bench.
"Serena!" Mina called as she ran toward Serena, the blonde shot up from her position with a sad look on her face, when Mina and I saw that look we stopped dead in our tracks. We approached her after a moment of silence and took Serena back to the temple after calling all the scouts on there communicator.
"Serena! You had us worried sick!" Luna scolded, I looked at Serena, expecting her to be rolling her eyes like she usually did when Luna yelled at her but instead she had a sad expression and that was the first time I noticed her tear stained face, she looked down.
"I'm sorry." She said simply
"Serena is something wrong?" Lita asked worriedly, all the scout's knew something was up and were going to get to the bottom of it and Serena knew this.
"I-I don't want to talk about it." She said
"Why not? We're your friends aren't we?" Raye said
"Serena what's the matter?" I asked as I wrapped my arm around her, she looked into my eyes like she would cry any moment, but she didn't, instead she took my arm off her.
"I don't want to talk about it!" She said getting mad and frustrated, all of use knew she was mad and all backed off, everyone but Raye.
"WHY!?!" She asked
"Because I can't handle it right now!" She yelled as she ran away, I wanted to go after her, to tell her whatever it was that was bothering her we'd get through it together but I knew she needed to be alone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Next Night~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena and I walked hand in hand in downtown Tokyo, though she was acting different I didn't want to get her mad but I just had to know.
"So worried about your college application?" I asked trying to guess what was wrong
"No." She said simply
"Not going." Serena said, I looked at her like she was crazy, I mean I knew she didn't like school but she always wanted to go to college.
"Oh are you going to take a year off?" I asked
We stopped walking on the sidewalk and got some odd stares but the other people continued walking.
"Darien, I'm sick." She said, I looked at her like "so what"
"Do you want me to take you back to my apartment, I could make you some chicken soup…" I started
"No Darien, I…" She started
"Ok I can take you home and you'll be better tomorrow." I said
"No, I mean I'm sick… *she took a deep breath* I have cancer." She said as the tears welled up into her eyes
"No." was all I could say, I didn't know exactly what to say, I mean I couldn't loose her, after all we've been though and what about Rini and Crystal Tokyo!
"I was diagnosed with Leukemia a little after my 16th birthday, I had an appointment to see if I had progressed in the last couple of months and I found out my body isn't responding to any treatments." She said
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I yelled. I was so mad I could.
"Because there was too much going on and then you broke up with me and I didn't think you cared." She said as the tears started falling, tear's threatened to fall down my cheeks too but I tried to hide it by turning around so she could only see my back I didn't say anything and there was a long pause.
"Darien say something." She said
"I still don't understand why you didn't tell me." I said angrily
"I-I thought the treatments were working." She said, I whipped around, she saw the tears falling down my cheeks but she didn't mention it and I didn't care if she saw me cry.
"But still." I said, she then broke down, I don't know if it was because I yelled at her of because of regretting not telling me or just because.
"I'm sorry." was all I could make out, her head was buried in my shirt which it quickly became wet
"It's all right. We're going to get through this." I said, thinking it would sooth her but it didn't.
"NO! Darien we can't get through this! You have to face it!" she yelled as she cried even harder then took a gulp and continued
"I'm dying." She said quietly, she looked up at me then ran away once again, I tried to run after her but she was already out of sight.
What do you think? TBC
