Chapter 3: A Rose in the Moonlight
~~~~~Omniscient~~~~~
Kengi stood before the woman in the white nurse's outfit who was holding a clipboard. Everyone was sitting in seats near one another. Darien was talking with Ilene about exactly what he remembered about what happened. Andrew and Chad were talking about all the good times that they had remembered about Serena while Lita, Raye, and Amy were sitting in a silent line. Mina, Greg, and Ken were arguing about how many times Serena had beaten up the Sailor V video game because she had lost. Sammy, who was lost in his thoughts, was staring at the ceiling. All their attention was turned to the nurse when she began talking to Kengi.
"Mr. Moon," she began, making everyone quite eager to hear how Serena was doing. "She seems to be doing well, but we will need to do more tests. She has sustained a concussion and has quite a few bruises. Because of her blood loss, we fear she may fall into a coma. So-"
"What a minute!" Darien nearly shouted, jumping up. "Did you say coma?"
"Yes, sir, I did," the nurse said.
"This is all my fault," Darien muttered, falling back into his chair to continue to mutter things about what he did wrong.
"As I was saying," the nurse replied, "she will need round about supervision that we can't give. Therefore, I need one of you to stay overnight to alert the doctors if something happens. So, who will it be?"
"My wife and I have work tomorrow," Kengi stated. "Sammy has school."
"So do we," Mina stated, meaning her, Amy, Lita, and Raye.
"I have to manage the Arcade," Andrew said, shaking his head.
"Greg, Chad, and I are going on vacation tomorrow morning," Ken replied, sighing. "We still have to pack."
The nurse turned to the last remaining man in the room who was shaking his head in his hands and muttering something about how stupid he was. Ilene took Darien's hand, which caused him to look at her suddenly, and stood up. "I trust my daughter's life with this young man," she stated.
"We will need some information," the nurse said, tipping the clipboard to reveal a sheet full of questions. Darien was so confused. He looked to the nurse, then back to Ilene.
"What?" he asked finally. "What's going on?" The nurse handed him the clipboard and a pencil and he turned to Ilene again.
"Darien," Ilene pleaded, sitting back down next to him.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"I want you to take care of Serena. The nurse said she needs someone to watch her all night and everybody is busy tomorrow, so we need you're help. Will you do this for us? for Serena?"
"O-of course, Mrs-Mrs Moon," Darien stuttered, as he began to fill out the information the nurse needed. He blushed slightly as he realized how much of a fool he was. He had been so stupid when it came to this afternoon, but now he could make it up. And he planned to not screw up this time.
*2 hours later*
Darien had said good-bye to everyone as they left in the groups they had come in. The nurse was now leading him down the hall to Serena's room. He didn't know what to expect, but he knew she wouldn't be awake. She would never know that he was ever there, which was probably a good thing.
The hospital was so crowded. He had noticed that as he walked down the halls. There were beds everywhere with patients in them. No wonder they couldn't spare one nurse to watch her.
"Here we are, Mr. Shields," the nurse replied, causing Darien to pay attention to what was infront of him instead of the other rooms. "Please make sure not to fall asleep and alert the personnel if something happens, okay?"
"Yes, ma'am," he responded. She looked at him skeptically and shook her head before she wandered off down the hall.
He sighed and rubbed his temples. He was standing outside the closed door of Serena's hospital room. What would he say to her if she woke up? Would she still be mad at him?
He shook his head clear of thoughts as a look of determination flashed across his face. He reached down and turned the knob. The door swung open with a small creak and Darien peered inside.
Serena was laying on the bed. Her arms were to her sides and her hair had been let down and pulled back into a large bun. Her skin was pale and there was an IV sticking into her arm. As he entered the room he could hear the beep of the heart monitor which was slower than his heart at the moment because it was going quite fast. He realized that she looked like the angel he thought she always was.
He walked to the side of the bed slowly and his heart beat quickened. She was deathly pale even though she was just sleeping. He reached out and took her hand as he sat down in the chair next to her bed. She was so very warm. It was the first time he had ever touched her and there was electricity. A wave of protectiveness crashed over him as he swallowed his oncoming tears.
"Serena...," he muttered. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't been teasing you about your schoolwork, then you never would've gotten mad at me in the first place. You would never be lying here in this bed. In fact, I should have seen that car and protected you. I should be lying in that bed, not you. It's not fair."
He sighed and brought her hand to his lips as he kissed it lightly. He leaned back into his chair and sighed lightly again.
*Sometime in the night*
Darien had fallen into a light sleep next to Serena's bed. But, he didn't feel it when Serena's hand closed around his.
Serena had felt the warmth of his hand and immediately wanted to get close to it. She was awake, but it was so hard to open her eyelids. What had happened? She remembered Darien and how she had yelled at him. Then, there was light. From what though?
It was headlights! She remembered. She had been hit by a car and then there was darkness. 'I must be in a hospital then, but who is holding my hand? Mom?' she though curiously.
Serena's eyes fluttered open. It was hard at first to adjust to the slight bit of light coming from the hallway and the small night light in the corner. She blinked as everything blurry finally came into focus. As she went to roll over onto her side to see who was holding her hand, Darien jolted up from the movement.
Their faces were so close that their noses were touching. Darien immediately blushed crimson and began stuttering. "S-Serena! Y-You're aw- awake! I s-should go g-get the nurse-nurse!"
Darien jumped up and started to walk away, but Serena pulled him back by his hand which she was still holding. "Don't leave me alone, Darien, please," she pleaded, her eyes begging. "I'm scared."
"Okay, Serena. I won't leave," he replied, gripping her hand again. He sat back down in the chair next to her bed. "Serena, I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's all my fault I-"
"It's not your fault," she stated, simply. She turned her crystal blue eyes to him. They had watered up with tears. Before she woke up she had a dream that she had been with him on a date and they were holding hands. She woke up to discover it was true, they were holding hands. Her dream had come true. He was here with her to protect her. "Darien, I'm sorry I harass you all the time. I don't mean to be the immature little brat that I am, but I just can't help it."
"It's okay Serena. Same to you. I'm sorry for harassing you too," he responded, smiling quietly at the floor he was currently staring at. As he turned to look at Serena, she had tears streaming quietly down her face. "Oh, no. Don't cry."
"I can't help it," she sniffed. "As soon as I saw that car I thought it was all over. And I never got the chance to tell you-...nevermind"
"Tell me what?" he questioned, wiping her tears away lightly.
