Released in silence

"Any progress yet?" Ami question as the group of girls walked into the arcade.
"Well there was a little shouting yesterday then the room was silent again. This morning whenever I walk past the door Darien is sitting up against the wall with his head in his hands and Serena is no where in sight." Andrew said causing a confused expression on all the girls faces, that matched his own.
"He wouldn't have actually have killed her…would he?" Mina questioned, only half serious.
"No, but if this keeps up then I will let them out tonight."
"Maybe we were wrong?"
"No, I know I'm right about those two." Ami said defiantly.
"Well we'll know for sure by tomorrow."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you talking to me yet?" Darien shouted for what must have been the hundredth time since he heard her wake up. She may have considered answering him if she had heard him. Shortly after she woke and remembered where she was and what had happened she went off into her own world contemplating the events of the last couple of days. She needed time to sort through her thoughts and most of all her feelings. She needed to figure out exactly what she was feeling for Darien and whether or not it was just because of the current situation. There were to many unanswered questions that need answers before she could face him again. As for Darien, he had laid awake for most the night before he was able to deifier his feelings. He realized that he was falling fast. Love? Probably not, but he realized he was quickly moving in that direction and it hurt him to know that he may have ruined any possibility of any sort of relationship with Serena cause god know he wanted to try. She was the first person to truly understand him and no body has ever made him feel they way he did for Serena he didn't want to give that up, he didn't want the feeling of loneliness to surround him forever.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' Darien thought to himself while repeatedly banging his head against the wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the day progressed, Andrew noticed that there had been no change in the back room. At about nine, feeling sorry for them, he finally gave in. He walked over to the door and unlocked it then opened it and quickly exited the arcade, not wanting to have an encounter with either one of them at this moment. Darien and Serena had both heard the door opening but were both a bit hesitant to leave, not knowing wheatear or not they should stay and try to work thing out. Darien sat staring at the door, not believing that it was over. Serena quickly made up her mind. Not wanting to be in there any longer, she quickly grabbed her bags and ran out of the arcade.
"Crap! Now how am I supposed to get her to talk to me?" He said as he grabbed his stuff and walked out to his car.
When Serena entered her house, she was greeted by her mother.
"What are you doing back? Mina called and said that you would be staying the weekend with her?"
"Mina?" Serena was confused until it dawned on her that Andrew wasn't working alone.
"Yes, is their something wrong."
"Oh, no. I'm kinda tired, so goodnight mom." Serena gave her mother a hug before running up the stairs to take a shower and get some rest in her own bed.
Darien by this time was already home and sitting on his couch trying to figure out a way to get the meatball head to talk to him.
'She will probably be avoiding the arcade for a while and that's really the only time I ever see her because she has school during the day' He sighed in defeat as he too went to take a shower and go to bed.
"I got it!' Darien suddenly shouted, sitting up in his bed.
'This will work, it has to.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Serena decided that she was going to stay home today, seeing as how it was Sunday and she had nowhere she needed to be, nor did she want to talk to any of her friends. She wasn't sure how many were involved in this but was almost positive it was all of them. She couldn't believe that they would let Andrew do that they knew how much she hated him, or how much she thought she hated him. She still wasn't sure exactly how she felt about him, but she had a pretty good idea. She had decided that he wasn't so cold hearted but, if it came to it, was he capable of being in a relationship?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the arcade Andrew was helping a customer, not noticing who had just walked in. Darien sat in his usual seat and waited.
As soon as Andrew noticed Darien he hesitantly walked towards him, all the while remembering what happened to his poor window.
"Bastard" Darien mutter when Andrew reached the counter.
"What?" Andrew asked in shock.
"I said you're a bastard."
"You came all they way here just to tell me that?"
"No, that and thanks." He said finally looking up from the counter.
Andrew wasn't exactly sure on how to respond to this, so he just stared back at Darien.
"So who helped you put this one together? I know you couldn't pull this one off on your own."
"Well, it was Ami's idea, but Mina was the one to help get Serena"
"Ami hu? Should have guessed that one. Never trust the quiet ones, they're always plotting you know." He said with a chuckle.
Feeling a bit safer, Andrew decided to ask what exactly what had happened in the room over the past four days, hoping that he didn't mange to anger Darien in the process.
"Well, she threw stuff, then we talked, then we ate, then we played cards and talked more, then I kissed her, she got mad and well, that's about it."
"Wait, you kissed her?"
"Yeah and she hasn't said a word to me since."
"So Ami was right. You do like her!"
"I don't know we talked for a while and I got to really know her, next thing I know I'm kissing her. The only problem is now she hates me."
"I doubt it if she hates you, but do you know how your gonna fix this?"
"Yeah I'll take care of that tomorrow."
