Cry

By: Strawberry

Chapter 2:

I don't own Sailor Moon

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.

In the bright morning of the next day I sat there on the stoop outside Serena's house, I had to have been there for at least 10 hours waiting for her to come out, when she was sleeping I had managed to get in her bedroom and put rose's and other flowers all over her room with the help of Tuxedo Mask. I heard the door knob turn as I whipped around but it wasn't Serena, it was her mother.

"Why hello Darien." She said kindly, I think she's the one relative of Serena that was always so kind and nice, even in the begging. Maybe because the men didn't think that I was a good idea but she knew Serena loved me and I her.

"Hello, Mrs. Tskino." I said politely

"Are you waiting to pick Serena up for a date? I think you may have to wait awhile because she's still sleeping." She said as she chuckled, she didn't know I knew I guess and she was trying to hide it.

"Serena's stopped responding to treatment?" I said recalling what Serena told me last night; Mrs. Tskino turned around the dropped the laundry basket she held before, after a long pause she spoke,

"Yes, she has stopped responding, no medicine works on her but we're still trying. Darien I didn't think she had told you yet, you must have good ways of getting things out of her because I just found out from the doctors call last night." She said I smiled at this comment, so Serena had told me first; it showed how much she loves me.

"Yes, we talk about everything." I said, the door opened again and out came a sleepy-eyed Serena, her hair was in its meatball style but messed up and her eyes looked puffy with circles under them from lack-of-sleep. She had a short pink nightgown with matching shorts under it and a small bunny on the front, anyone who saw her then would say that she's not a morning person and looks like shit but I say she was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid my eye's on. I looked down at her feet to see pink bunny slippers; I guess she was hardly awake because she didn't notice me

"Mom, can I have pancakes?" she asked, her eyes still closed

"Of coarse Serena go back to bed and I'll bring it up in a second." Mrs. Tskino said, Serena turned around and went back in the house I guess she didn't notice me.

"Would you like to join us for breakfast Darien?" She asked

"Yes, thank you." I said as I walked into the house with her, we sat in the kitchen and talked about Serena's condition and just Serena, I liked talking to her mother since I never had one she was maybe the closest because after all wasn't she my future mother-in-law? We heard a scream after 10 minutes so she asked me to take the pancakes up to her, I gladly accepted and went upstairs, I opened the door.

"Mom where did all these flower come from!?!" Serena asked but then she saw me, her expression changed from surprised to sadness, I could tell she couldn't bear to look at me without breaking down so that's why I guess she did what she did.

"Darien you have to go, if my mother finds you…" She started

"She asked me to bring the tray up and invited me to breakfast." I said, she looked at me then down at her feet then to her dresser which was kind of next to me, I guess she couldn't look at me at that point.

"Darien you have to go." She said sadly, I went up to her and saw the pain in her eyes, she was hurting but why did she want to push me away? I was there to help.

"Why Serena? I'm allowed to be here, I want to help you." I said, I noticed Luna who was pretending to be asleep give me a look like 'wrong thing to say, you're going to get it.'

"Darien how can you help me?!? I can't be with you! Not now; it hurt's me to much to see you and to know we won't always be together, juts leave please!" She said, her voice was cracking, I knew it was hard for her to be doing this and I wasn't making it any easier.

"Serena, I can help you by being there. I know it hurts you to be around me and the scouts and well everyone but I want to be there for you, I'm not going to loose you again." I said hoping this would change her mind.

"No, I can't I still have to tell the scouts and I don't want you to be there for me, I want to be normal, no cancer, no Sailor Moon, no bad guys, I just want… I just want." She tried saying but broke down again, I could tell this was really hurting her so I decided I would leave soon, just after I hugged her and let her cry on me. We stayed like that for maybe 10 minutes then she let go, she sniffed then talked to me,

"Darien please leave." She said as she wiped away tears, I knew if I hurt her anymore today it would kill me inside, her too. So I walked out of her room and shut the door,

"I can't be losing her, I just can't." I said to myself as I went downstairs, when Mrs. Tskino saw my face she looked concerned and came towards me.

"Darien is something the matter?" She asked I looked into her big brown eye's and noticed she was like Serena, ready to break down crying any moment but tried to hide it but couldn't.

"Could you please tell Serena that, I'm not going away, I love her too much." I said sincerely, her mother could tell I really meant it and nodded, I smiled at her and then left without so much as a good-bye, I guess it might have been rude to someone else's parents but in this situation she understood completely.

That night I got no sleep, I just sat in my apartment hoping she would call, when I realized she wouldn't I went next door to Andrew's place, oh by the way Andrew works at the arcade, he's on of my best friends. I knocked on the door and it flung open to a not so happy Andrew

'Guess I forgot what time it was' I thought

"Darien! What are you doing here?" He asked with Anger in his normally friendly green eyes.

"Serena's sick." I tired to say without breaking down in tears, he knew I was going to cry and hugged me.

"It's ok Darien." He said, unlike Serena I took this as comfort.

"She has leukemia and her body's stopped responding to treatment." I said as I got out the hug so he couldn't feel my warm tears on his shirt, I turned around and quickly wiped my tears away.

"It's ok to cry." He surprisingly said to me, I whirled around and looked at him

'How did he know?' I thought

"I had a very good friend who had cancer, Sarah, she was wonderful and full of joy, I meet her when I got to cheer up when I volunteered at the hospital and I did cried for her and her parents lose." Andrew said as he recalled the memory

"Thanks Andrew." I said glumly, I still felt weird about showing my emotions, the only reason I was like this was Serena, she melted my cold heart and saw the real me, even when I was brainwashed by beryl, I stayed silent, not knowing what to say next.

"So I'd be surprised if you didn't cry, you love her so much." He said thoughtfully

"It's times like these that I don't know what I'd do without a friend like you Andrew." I said thoughtfully

"Thanks buddy." He said as he smiled and gestured for me to take a seat on the couch to talk, he went into his kitchen and made some coffee and asked me questions about Serena and it brought back a lot of great memories of her and me as I recalled these memories I thought

'Maybe love can conquer all.'
