Cry

By: Strawberry

Chapter 3

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.

I walked down the busy streets of Tokyo; I was headed to the arcade to talk to Andrew. I had had the worst day, I flunked a test that I should have aced, I forgot my homework, I almost got fired and it was all because I couldn't get Serena off my mind. I wanted to surprise her by picking her up from school but my car broke down so I couldn't get there. I proceeded to the arcade and wanted for the door's to slide open, when they finally did I saw Serena standing in front of me, like she knew I was going to be the next person to walk in.

"Darien, I'm sorry." She said, I had no idea why she was apologizing but hoped she would let me be there for her

"Why in the world are you sorry? I asked as I grinned at her, she gave me a small smile

"I should have told you." She said as my smile faded as she remembered her situation.

"Don't be." I said as I took her hand, she smiled and looked into my eyes, I looked back into hers the fear was gone and her eye's showed love like nothing had ever happened.

"Are you scared?" I asked her as we sat on the bench, she looked at me and smiled then rested her head on my shoulder.

"That I'll be late for the meeting today? Or to die?" she playfully asked, she seemed like a whole different person but I suppose she realized it would hurt her even more to not be with me, I knew she was joking but I didn't like her talking about death like she didn't have a problem with it.

"Serena, it's not funny." I said to her, I felt her head leave my shoulder

"I'm not scared to die, I'm scared that when I die I'll never have Raye yell at me for being the clumsiest girl she's ever seen, or my trips to the mall with Mina, or Lita trying to teach me how to cook, and Amy, poor Amy, always trying to get me to apply myself in school." She smiled sadly and continued though it was tearing her apart.

"I'll miss Luna lecture's and Artemis's logical thinking and his advice, I'll miss Andrew giving me free token's to play Sailor V, I'll miss Sammy's stupid jokes even though there not funny, I'll miss my mother's kindness and pancakes, my father's talk's with me, my other friend's, Miss Haruna's giving me a detention when I'm late, I'll miss my future daughter who I'll never see again and most of all I'll miss you and always be scared that I'll turn around and you won't be there to call me meatball head and be there for me." She said as she started to cry again but she didn't run like the other times, no, she just wiped away the tears and stood up, I also stood up and she turned around to look at me.

"Oh Serena, that'll never happen." I said as I embraced her, we both just stood there in the middle of the park, crying like two babies

Serena and I stood at the Cherry Hill temple; all the scouts plus the 2 cats sat on some bench's that formed a circle.

I didn't want to scare Serena but she looked awfully pale, after a moment of silence the scout's raised there eyebrow's

"Serena." I said as I shook her slightly, she looked at me and gave me a look, I'll, I'll never forget that look, not in a million years, it will haunt me for all of eternity. She looked like she was in trouble but there was something else there. She was in pain, so much pain; she then fainted into my arms, all the scout's gasped.

"We have to get her to a hospital!" was the last thing I heard said, Mina said it and after those words spoken I blocked out every other noise.

I put my head in my hands as I waited in the waiting room along with Serena's family and the scouts, I didn't have the guts to tell the girls and Luna and Artemis what was going on but I still did, we all waited silently and it was driving me crazy! If Serena was in the room she would tell us to make some noise but Serena wasn't there, she was in the other room being examined. God why couldn't I be there for her? My heart sank every time I heard her name being said.

"Darien, she's going to get through this, she's a fighter." Lita said as she smiled sadly and hugged me tightly. That was probably the first time I had noticed that I wasn't the only one losing someone, the whole room was filled with people who were dying inside like I was.

"Mr. and Mrs. Tskino?" The doctor said from the room he just came out of. Serena's parents jumped up leaving Sammy behind as them as they went into the room, the scouts and I waited for maybe 15 minutes before Serena's parents came out with small smiles on there faces, we all jumped up.

"She's going to ok for now, they want her to spend the rest of her days in the hospital..." Mr. Tskino said

"Can't she get home care?" Amy asked

"We're looking into it." Mrs. Tskino said sadly

"But if anything comes up we'll tell you, do you think one of you can take Sammy home, we'd like to leave and he wants to visit his sister." Mr. Tskino asked, I volunteered and so they gathered there coats and got ready to leave.

"Oh, Darien she's calling for you." Mrs. Tskino said as she smiled, I smiled to myself and went into the room, it was painted pure white, then I saw Serena, she was sleeping, guess I took too long. Her hair was in it's meatball style I looked at all the machine hooked up to her, I sat down in a chair on her bedside and took her hand, it was cold and I looked at the needles for her IV in her wrist, I could juts imagine her whimpering when they were put in. Serena opened her beautiful Crystal blue eyes and looked at me as a tired smile formed on her face.

"Hey." I said as I kissed her on the forehead.

"Hi, have you been waiting long?" She asked, I smiled, she was always thinking of other people before herself

"No, don't worry about it; is there anything I can't get you?" I asked

"No I'm all right just a little drowsy." She said as she yawned

"I'll let you sleep then." I said, she smiled and tried to sit up to kiss me but she must have been terribly weak because she automatically fell back in her bed, I had never seen someone so helpless and there was noting I could do but sit there with her, I kissed her on the lips then sat there and watched her sleep, I had forgotten about the other waiting people that wanted to see her so after an hour Mina walked in.

"How is she?" she asked as she put her hands on my shoulders, I looked up at her.

"She's sleeping." I said, not wanting to leave her side.

"Do you think I could be alone with her for a moment?" she asked kindly, I didn't want to leave Serena, what if something happened or she called for me and I wasn't there by her side but I knew I had taken quite awhile so I nodded and kissed her on her forehead, her eye's opened and she smiled.

"I'll be back." I said

"Ok." She said quietly as she smiled one of those award winning smiles oh hers, god I would miss those. I smiled back and left the room so she and Mina could be alone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Mina's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I saw Darien leave and I looked at Serena, my eye's swelled up with tears but I tried to hide them, Serena obviously sensed my tears without even looking at me.

"You can cry. I did." She said

I smiled at her.

"It's all right." She whispered, she looked so helpless and scared but in a way, peaceful.

"Are you in any pain?" I asked, she wrinkled her nose

"Can we not talk about this?" Serena asked, she was in pain but she didn't want anyone's pity

"Why don't I let Sammy come and visit with you." I said as I got up and left telling Sammy to come in, I had to leave, I didn't know how Darien could bear to be in that room with her for over an hour.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Darien's POV ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat in the cold hard plastic chair; I wanted to be by her side. I sighed and then saw Mina close the door form behind her, Serena wanted to see Sammy, not me. Later when everyone had left and I had dropped Sammy home I went back to the hospital, Serena was sleeping but I was at her side, just watching her, luckily I had no classes or work the next day so I could spend more time with her. I spent the next day sitting by her side again; she wanted me to read to her so I spent the whole day reading, it hadn't been that long since she came to the hospital but she was so weak now, she would get chill's in the daylight and sweat like it was a million degree's at night, I had talked to her parent and that where going to get someone to take care of her so she could come home, but when the time came that she didn't just need one person and an Iv and heart monitor she would go back to the hospital, I had offered to pay partly but they refused. Finally the following Monday Serena was brought home, her nurse was very nice and her and Serena seemed to be friends, the scouts and I had a streak of luck, no new enemy's… yet.
