Chapter Five
Sailor Trouble

Mina Gasped at Darian.
"What are you doing Darian! I have to hurt her as much as she hurt me! Dont you see, she tricked you! She-"
"Mina. Serena did not trick me into anything." Darian said between clinched teeth.
Mina watched as Darian moved over to Serena and picked her up in his arms. She was blacked out. Darian
walked fast to his car and drove out of sight.
Mina blink as if she had been dreaming.
"Oh could you betray me like this Darian." She whispered.

Serena felt hot. She opened her eyes and blinked back the bluring images.
"Serena, thank the stars you awoke."
Serena turned and look in to the wet eyes of Darian. She smiled and grasped his hand.
"Where am I Darian?" She said sweetly.
He smiled his best.
"Your in the hospital, my sweet" He said softly
"Oh" she said and turned toward the cieling. "Why"
Darian couldnt understand why she spoke so softly and calmly.
"Because Mina attacted you." He whispered more to himself than to Serena.
She nodded.
"Im going to sleep now." Serena said closing her eyes.
Darian looked up and saw Sere close her eyes.
"Oh Serena." He said

The next mouring, Serena opened her eyes and stared at the same cieling.
Thoughts of Mina kicking her came back in a rush. She felt hot water roll down her
cheeks and relised she was crying.
"Oh Mina.." She whispered
Serena sat up in the hospital bed and felt pain scream through her stomach. She yelped
in pain and laid back down. She winced in pain and layed her hands on her stomach.
Darian stered in the chair next tp her bed.
"Darian." Serena said.
Darian sat up in the chair and rubbed his eyes. He turned and met Sere's gaze. He quickly gropped for her hand
and found it through the haze.
"My Serena." He said Smiling.
"Whats wrong with my stomach" Serena asked.
"I think Mina bruised it somehow. But dont worry my sweet, You are aloud out of her tomarrow."Darian said
"And you stayed her with me?" Serena said softly still look in Darian's eyes.
"Yes, and I will do the same tonight." Darian answered.
Serena smiled. Darian leaned down and butterfly-kissed her brow.
"That is why I love you so Darian.." She whispered. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep

Love? Do I love Serena too? I have to. Do I?

Serena stood in her hospital room and stretch. Mmmm it felt to move her stomach again.
Serena stood and looked around. Rosed and get well cards layed acrossed her room. She smiled and thought of the
great friends she has.
Darian slipped a hand over her shoulder and kissed her kneck lovingly.
"Ready to go home?" Darian asked?
"Mmmhmm" She said smileing.
Darian lead her down through through halls and out through the doors leaving the hospital.
"Im so glad your alright" Darian said as they drove down the street.
"I cant believe Mina would do something like that." Serena said.
"Me either, I always though she was a sweet young girl. I dont know what I was thinking by going to the
docks with her."
"Yes, what were you thinking Darian. I mean, if you liked me in the first place why did you go on that
date with Mina, How could you?" Serena said staring straight ahead.
"Well I needed to clear my head from out little meeting that night." Darian said. He wrapped his hand in hers as
they stopped at a red light. After a phew minuits the went off again.
"Well, I guess I can blame you." Serena said with a giggle.
"Can you repeat that, Id have sworn you said 'can' blame me." Darian said
Serena giggled again. "I did" She turned and grinned at Darian and hes turned and pulled up into the drive way.
He smiled and leaned down and kissed Serena sweetly.
"I cant believe your doing this to us Darian. We loved eachother, Now, since that slut came running
into your arms, You havent even called me to set anougher date. Tsk Tsk, your a losey Boyfriend. I think we need to
take time off for Our growing relationship." Mina grinned.
Darian wrapped his arms around Serena.
"Your crazy Mina, We were never going out." Darian yelled.
"Oh, now you tell me." She stood there in the same outfit she wore two days ago. She was leaning against the wall
holding a dead rose in one hand.
"Well Sere, Im so glad your out of the hospital. Here." She tossed the rose and it landing neatly on her lap. Serena
stared down at her lap and watched as the rose turned to black dust.
"Now that yout all better again, I can play with you more." Mina Laughed.
