Chapter 8: I'm Sorry
Darien and Serena leaned in closer, their eyes closed. Both were expecting to meet each others lips, but, unfortunately, it wasn't meant to happen because the nurse walked in. When both of them heard the door open they jumped away from one another like they were on fire. Both were blushing crimson as was the poor nurse.
"S-sorry to interrupt you two, but I wanted to let you know that we'll be serving breakfast in the cafeteria in about a half hour," the nurse explained, a blush still staining her cheeks. She smiled nervously at the two before turning and walking out.
It seemed that Serena's judgment of time was off by a few hours. It was not around two in the morning. It was almost 6 in the morning! 'How could time fly by so quickly without me noticing? That never happens to me. I'm always a good judge of time. Then, how did it happen? Does it....have something to do with Darien?' Serena pondered, unable to meet Darien's eyes.
"Um, Serena?" Darien asked, staring at the floor. He couldn't even look at her. What was he thinking?! Trying to kiss her!! "If we're going to go down to breakfast, then you might want to get dressed."
"I see your logic," Serena stated, glancing about the room. Where were her clothes?
"Your mother brought you some extra clothes because your other ones were completely ruined in the accident," Darien replied, knowing what she was thinking. He leaned over and pulled out the bag that was underneath her bed. He set it on top of her bed before standing up and walking to the door. "I'm going to go to the bathroom while you get dressed, okay?"
"Okay," Serena mumbled, as Darien walked out of the room. She pulled the covers off of her as she crawled out of bed. She dressed herself in the light blue T-shirt and the khaki pants her mother had packed for her. She then sat on the bed to slip on her sandals. She pulled out the hairbrush in the bag as she began brushing out her long hair.
A few minutes later, Serena heard a light knock on the door. "Come in," she called softly, as she continued brushing out her hair.
Darien entered the room and closed the door behind himself. He watched as Serena split her hair into pigtails before rolling them up into buns on each side of her head. She then clipped them with a pin, before brushing out the streamers of hair that fell from each bun. Darien smiled slightly as he realized just how beautiful her hair was. No wonder she liked it so long.
"Does it really look that bad?" Serena asked, after she realized that Darien was staring at her.
"Huh?" Darien replied, snapping out of his trance.
"Does my hair really look that bad that you've resorted to staring?" Serena said, blinking.
"Oh, no. Just the opposite, that's why I was staring," Darien responded. He then blushed as he realized what he had just said.
"You don't say," Serena sighed, not really listening. She stood up and glanced at Darien. "I'm ready to go to breakfast, if you don't mind."
"Sure," Darien replied.
Neither spoke as they ate their way through breakfast. They also didn't speak to one another, until it was time to say good-bye.
Ilene had shown up to pick Serena up because Kengi had gone to work. She strode into the hospital room and immediately felt the tension in the air. Something had happened between the two and it didn't look like it was anything good as Ilene had hoped it would be. Both of them were reading, Serena and magazine and Darien a rather large book about astronomy.
"Hey there you two," Ilene greeted, closing the door behind her. It was 8:30 in the morning and both of them look extremely exhausted, especially Darien. But, it wasn't just physical drain, it was emotional drain too. Ilene could especially see it on Darien's face, but maybe that was because he wasn't accustomed to revealing his feelings to anybody.
"Good morn, mum," Serena returned the greeting. She had looked up from her place on the bed and placed a beautiful smile on her face. It was fake, but it was still beautiful. It was a shame that Ilene knew her daughter so well.
"Well, it's time for you to come home honey," Ilene replied, sweetly. "He said that we would need to come back in a week to get your stitches taken out, but aside from that we're good to go. Darien?"
"Yes, Mrs. Moon?" Darien asked, standing up and closing his book.
"Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter in her time of need," Ilene thanked. The older woman pulled the younger man into a hug and smiled as she pulled away. "You're such a nice young man."
Serena had already walked out the door as Ilene waved and walked out. Darien followed them not too far after. He had to grab his jacket and stick a bookmark into his place. But, then he was out the door and on his way home for a good day's sleep.
Serena was also on her way home for a good day's sleep and her mother off to work. But, Serena didn't really realize that she wasn't going to sleep well because nightmares would be haunting her sleep.
~~~~~~A Week Later~~~~~~
Darien walked into the arcade. He sighed as he spotted his group of friends and their girlfriends. Unfortunately, *she* was with them. He had avoided her since her night at the hospital, but that was okay because he thought that she was doing the same. He sighed again as he realized that he was going to have to sit next to her.
Darien walked over to the table and set his books down on the table top. He greeted all of his friends before sitting down.
"Hey, so did you find out about your friend's grandmother?" Andrew asked, gripping Mina's hand. Mina smiled at Andrew before turning her attention to Darien.
"You have friends outside of our circle?" Mina asked, completely interested as to what she had missed out on.
"Yeah," Darien answered to both their questions. "Her name is Misty and her grandmother has heart cancer. Misty said that it's getting worse day by day."
"How do you know Misty, Darien?" Lita asked, listening in on Darien's conversation.
"She was someone I knew from the orphanage," Darien replied, smiling slightly as he remembered her. "Andrew and I used to play with her before she got adopted. Her adoptive parents were French and lived in France. They were only here on vacation. So, Misty moved to France and we kept in touch by letter."
"So, what does she want you to do?" Amy asked, joining in on the conversation.
"She wants me to go out there and help her bury her grandmother," Darien responded, sadly. He turned his attention to the table top, unable to meet anyone's eyes.
"Well, what are you going to do?" Chad asked, finally hearing the serious conversation at hand.
"I think I'm going to go," Darien stated, looking up at everyone. Everyone was staring at him in shock, so no one noticed that Serena was staring at her lap. "I might be gone for a month or so, but I haven't really been there for my childhood friend. So, I think she deserves to have someone there for her."
Serena wiped her eyes as she looked up to the group. She thought of a lame excuse and excused herself. She walked out of the arcade, unsure of where she was going to go. But, she wasn't going to get very far.
Darien decided to go after Serena. He walked out of the arcade and saw her turning the corner at the end of the street. Darien ran down the street and caught up with her. "Serena," Darien stated, grabbing Serena's wrist and turning her around to see the warm tears running from hey crystal blue eyes.
