Hey everyone, super sorry this is so short. But at least I got it out, right?

Runaway
Chapter Ten
I Don't Love You Anymore

Serena closed her eyes weakly and leaned back against the pillows.

"Darien," she whispered, her voice heartbreakingly vulnerable. "Please,
stop. You're getting me all wet, and...You're kind of scaring me."
Darien took in a deep, shuddering breath and wiped his face before he looked
up. He didn't want his girlfriend to see him cry.

(AN: Awwwww!)

"Bunny," he said, pulling her into a loose hug. "Please don't ever leave me
again."

Suddenly, her face hardened and she stiffened in his arms.

"Don't," she said abruptly, pulling away. Darien looked up, and the look of
utter confusion on his face almost--

(Yeah? Did someone start to say my name? *dodges a tomatoe and does a
toe-touch to avoid a...turnip?!* Okay, guess not.)

--broke Serena's heart.

"I don't know why I even came back," She said tersely, getting out of the
hospital bed. She found her legs still weak and started to stumble, but Darien
caught her.

(AN: Of course.)

Darien held her tightly and tried to look into her guarded blue eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked as she twisted and squirmed. All of a
sudden, she stopped and looked deep into his eyes.

"Because I don't love you anymore!" she cried, although it made her heart
ache to tell these lies.

Watching him, Serena could pinpoint the exact second when Darien's hopes
crashed to the ground and his heart ripped in two. No longer able to stand
the look of unbearable pain on his face, she broke away and ran for the door.
She wasn't even out of it for two seconds before her legs collapsed beneath
her and she was on the floor, out cold.

(AN: Again.)

So? I think it was pretty good, even though it was really short. God, you
should have seen it before I put all the spaces between the words in! It was
only half a page!
Well, I hope you enjoy it, and I'll try to write more soon. Until then, send
your ideas to jjohnston@v-wave.com, kay? Please review, or I'll really have
to discontinue this story. I haven't gotten any reviews lately, and I'm just
sooooo sad. Do you know how hard it is to go from at least 20 reviews a day
to one if you're lucky? Well, thanks to everyone that *has* reviewed, and to
the rest of you, *please!* You're breaking my heart here! Okay, enough. Just
review so I can stop talking, kay?
*Lotsa Luv 'n' Stuff*
