I start to head to my fourth period and realize Darien and I have the same class. So I then start to head towards Darien's locker because I know he would be there. Oh I wish things didn't have to be so complicated. "Hello Darien." I say as tears stream down my face. "Here." I manage to get out while handing him a poem. "I was told I wrote it while you were cheating on me." I run off heading to my fourth period.

Darien's p.o.v
I open up the note with hesitant fingers. To my astonishment it was a poem. The first poem she had ever wrote me.

Clouds in the Sky

For you my feelings I have to hide,
While the waves come from the ocean tide.

I watch the clouds pass by,
And the moon appears in the sky.

A special song plays its tune,
While I stare up at the Moon.

You are the one I love most,
But you're far from this coast.

But to remember my love for you,
This song plays that was once danced by two.

My love for you will never end,
Like a shepherd's flock forever tend.

While I listen to this special tune,
I realize my love for you is like the Moon.

It can be hidden as a cloud passes by,
But the Moon forever stays in the sky.

She'll never forgive me will she? I should never have done that. Now my poor Bunny will never look at me the same anymore. I fold the note up and head towards my fourth period.

Serena's p.o.v

I walk in my class and get my stuff out. Unfortunately Ami and Darien have this class. As casually as I could, I sit at my desk. There is only another girl that sits in between Ami and I.
"Sere I am so sorry that I did that to you." Ami says looking like she is about to cry.
"How could you do this to me? You are supposed to be one of my best friends and you betrayed me. It is like I don't even know you anymore. I thought I could trust. Obviously I can't." I utter as a new batch of tears find there way down my cheek.
"Sere-Sama If I could take it all back, you know I would."
"I don't know anything about you anymore."
"You weren't there! You don't even know what happened!"
"I only know what you and Darien have told me which isn't a whole lot!" All I wanted to do at this point was to go home, go to bed and never wake up. I even started to pinch my self to see if I was in a nightmare. Regrettably that didn't work. So I find my self giving Ami the note Darien gave me to read. She got done reading the note and I couldn't help but to ask "Is it all true?"
"About 99 percent." "What else is there?" I ask regretting to know the answer. "Call me tonight and I will tell you." Ami says wiping away a tear that was rolling down my face. "Why can't you just tell me now?" "There is to many people here right now. I don't want anymore people to know." "Everyone here already knows! It is not a secret to anyone! I was the last person to find out and it was MY boyfriend!" "Just call me tonight and I will tell you everything. Ok?" "I guess I will have to settle with that. I'll call you after I talk to Mina." We don't talk for the remainder of the class. The bell rings and Darien and I head for the buses like we used to do. The only problem is that there is that annoying eerie silence. "I don't want to ask it but I have to." I utter as I grab his hand. "What is it?" He asks as his hand and mine intertwine. His voice is tired but nice. "Is there anything else that happened?" I ask barely above a whisper. I don't want to hear the response but then I do. My heart has already broken into so many pieces. I don't know if it could break anymore. "Sere there is nothing else left. Why do you ask?" We stop by the buses and he looks in my eyes. God knows they have to be showing all the hurt and pain I am going through. "I am calling Ami-chan tonight and she is going to tell me the WHOLE story. I just wanted to hear from you if there is anything else before I would hear it from Ami-chan. I don't know if I could still go out with you if you lie to me." I look at Darien while praying to God he will tell me the truth. "Iie. There is nothing." He looks away. "Ok. Well I have to go." We hug and stay in each other's arms for a while. By the time we let go, I had started crying again. I don't want to break up with him but if he lies I have to. I get on my bus and sit down. Now the tears fall down like rain. The next thing I remember was being woken up because we were at my bus stop. When I got home I ate something while waiting for my mom to leave and go to work. While I was waiting Molly calls. "Hey Molly." "Serena I don't like to be the one to tell you this but I heard from Rei that Darien also kissed Ami." "What. It can't be true. He would never do anything like that." Would he? Just when I thought I would be able to forgive him, I find out more about his betrayal to me. "Molly, Thank you for telling me. I have to go." I hang up the phone. My Mom has just left, so I decide to call Mina. "Hello is Mina there?" "This is she. Serena is that you?" "Mina how could he do this to me? Doesn't he love? Why would he break my heart so?" "I don't know. I ask him why he did that and all he did was put his headphones on and ignored me." My heart was already broken. I didn't think it could break any more so I asked. "Did he seem sorry?" "He did seem sorry when I saw him." "Mina, hold on a second. I have a beep." I press the flash button and here Ami say hello. Even though I wanted to hear the story, I didn't really want to talk to her but I talk anyway. "Hello." "Serena, is that you?" "Yeah. Can I call you on three-way with Mina?" I ask as I wipe away tears building up. Even hearing the voice of the person who could cheat with my boyfriend was hard enough. "Yeah sure." I switch back to Mina and tell her I am going to call Ami on three-way. I dial the number while fresh tears find there way down my cheek. "Ami?" "I'm here. What do you want to know first?" She asks. Her voice even sounds like she is suffering with her bad decision to cheat with my Darien on me. "What else is there?" My voice is trembling and I'm afraid to know what else there is to Darien's betrayal to me. "Serena, please forgive me for saying this but he also kissed me besides just holding hands. He did it on December 30th, 31st, and on January 1st. He then said all of this had to stop but it didn't stop until we got back at the hotel." At this point I wanted to yell and scream 'It takes two people to kiss and both of you did just that!' I couldn't though, bring myself to saying that. I was too heart broken. My only love kissed another girl. He was the first person who I had ever gotten kissed from, but yet he betrayed my love and kissed another girl. I started to cry more then ever know. When I was sure I could speak again with out screaming I said. "How could both of you do this to me. You were supposed to be my best friend and he was supposed to be the man who loved me. What hurts the most is not the fact that he cheated on me but the fact that one of my best friends did this to me. Guys come and go but friendships are supposed to last forever. I don't even know if I can forgive you for this now." "Serena, I am so sorry. I never meant to do this to you. You're like a sister and I have betrayed you." "Well nothing you say or do can take it back. I have lost all respect for you. You were supposed to be a friend. Do you understand that? Friends do not do that to each other. I don't think I'll ever trust you again." "Serena don't you think your being to hard on her?" Mina had not spoken until now but at this point I wanted to smack her. "No! I don't think I'm being too hard! Do you think I'm not hurting, that my heart is not broken and she had a big part in it! She has hurt me more than Darien! She was the one that could of walked away and told me when I got back! No! She couldn't do that! She had to be selfish and take my love, my joy and make it hers for one day! I hope your happy Ami! I hope your happy to know that you took away my only treasure in life and whatever happens will be your fault!" I choke on a sob and start to say in a lifeless voice. "I knew I should have stayed in the U.S.A. My cousin was trying to hook me up with her friend. I would have ended up marrying him and would be happy. I would never had found out about this and my heart would not have broken the way it is now." "No Serena." Mina cries. "You wouldn't have been happy. You would have missed Darien too much. You would not have known what he did and you would have always wondered what would have happened if you came back home." "I should have stayed. Then my heart would not have broken so." I start crying again. The thought of my only love kissing another girl was too much. Why would my Darien do this to me? Why would he break my heart so? Is he telling me the truth? "Tell me how it happened." "Ok. Well we were on the bus heading for North Japan when I noticed that Darien looked sad. I started the flirting, I'll tell you that, that's my fault... I thought that it would be harmless. A little flirting never hurt anyone, right? I guess it does though but I was annoying Darien, asking him to smile he wouldn't, and I started to rubbing his cheek trying to get him to smile, well, he started grabbing my hands away from his face, and I kept getting out of his holds, so he finally got so fed up with it, that he intertwined our fingers... anyway... he asked me "Why do you want me to smile?" I told him because he looked cute when he smiled, he then said. "No, that's not a reason, I need a motive" I told him that that was my motive and he was insistent on that it wasn't a good enough reason. He paused for a minute and said. 'Let me help you out'. He paused for another moment and said. "I need something to look forward to. Well I said, 'You're thinking of a kiss, right?' he says that 'I didn't say that' I hold up our intertwined hands, and ask what's this then... he shuts up and just holds my hand tighter... we get to the hotel to put our stuff in the room, before we go to eat, he gives me a hug. Just before I go into my room to put my suitcase down and whispers in my ear, and I quote 'I owe you a smile.' We went to go eat and on the way back I asked him if I could rest my head on his shoulder. So I barely had my head on his shoulder. My head rested at the very end of his shoulder. After a little while he put his arm around my shoulders. I snuggled closer to him and laid my head in the crook of his neck. I was really tired and was about to fall asleep. I almost did. We were almost to the hotel when Darien started rubbing my chin. You know the kind of things you see in sappy movies. I think he was trying to kiss me. So I didn't look up. We got to the hotel and he gave me a hug and I went to bed. I'm going to skip most of that day to when we were at the mall and that night. Before the mall, Lita had caught us holding hands in Tyler's room. We were watching Lord of the Rings. That's when she took a picture of us. On the way to the mall Lita was bad mouthing Darien and I. She was saying how she was going to tell you things that hadn't already happened yet. At the mall I had gotten everything straightened out with Lita. Darien and I talked about you a little but we still held hands. On the way to the hotel I laid my head on Darien's shoulder again. He once again put his arm around me and I snuggled closer. During the time before the first kiss, we were sitting in Tyler and Michael's room when they kicked us out. I guess they are very loyal to you. So anyway Darien left and locked himself in his room and wouldn't let anyone in till about 10:30p.m. I was walking by and noticed the door open. Darien was sitting on the edge of the bed. I asked him what he was doing but he didn't respond. He then got up and got two batteries from his book bag and stuck them in his mouth. For the next ten minutes I tried to get them out of his mouth. I finally told him I would leave if he didn't take the batteries out on the count of five. I had gotten to three and he took out the batteries. He then turned on the TV and started watching his favorite comedian. He said if this could make him smile he would kiss me. After about a minute I said screw this and started tickling him. This went on for a minute or two and then he finally said something I didn't understand and then kissed me. I kissed him back and then hugged him and ran off. He showed up at my room about five minutes later. I had left my C.D player there. The next day we went to the parade. After the parade was over he commented on how he had never held someone's hand that was colder then his. We went back to the hotel and I'm going to skip around till I had gotten on my 'holy' shirt. I found all of the guys in Tyler's room. Taylor put a sign on me that said '5$ must pay benter.' Darien said that he would only pay 10 cents. A little later I was told to put something on under my shirt. It was too revealing. Well at the New Years celebration Darien and I danced once. At around 10:30 he told me everything had to end and I agreed. Unfortunately it didn't end until later that night. At about 11:30 the people said it was New Year. I said Happy New Year to Darien and he replied and gave me a kiss. I asked him on the bus would this entire ordeal end. He said it would end once we get to the hotel. I noticed it was not yet New Years and then one of the teachers noticed and everyone started counting down. Darien and I didn't because the last 10 seconds is all that counts. At about 15 till midnight Darien did the rubbing of the chin thing and this time I looked up. We kissed. Either before or after New Years, he kissed me on the forehead. When New Years came, he kissed me. We got to the hotel and went to our rooms. Darien gave me a hug and left. On the way home, Darien asked for me to sit with him. We talked about what we were going to tell you and he said everything but the kissing part. He said he was going to take all of the blame. What do you think now?"
The phone is quit for a minute. The only sound you can hear is the sound of someone breathing. I finally say. "The same thing I have always thought." "Which is?" I'm silent again. When I start to speak it is but a murmur. "That I'll love Darien, no matter what, until my dying day." "Okay. What do you think about those five little words?" "That you can love somebody so much and no matter what they say you will always love them even pass your dying day." Ami sighs. "You are avoiding my question." "No I'm not." "Yes you are. You didn't give me a strait answer."
"You asked what do I think about those words. The answer is that Darien may have hurt me but when it comes down to it I don't love him any less and the only thing that scares me is that he doesn't love me the way I love him."
"Serena, I'm sorry but I have to go."
"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow at school." The phone hangs up and Mina says. "Are you all right?" "I'm fine. I'm just a little hurt. Ok. I'm lying. How could he do this to me? Doesn't he love me or is he just using me to have a girlfriend?" I lay down on the bed I don't know when Mina and I get off the phone. I don't even know when I started crying. The only thing I know was when the alarm went off.

**A.N** Well I'm sorry it took me so long to get the second chapter out. I wasn't happy the way it came out so I was changing a lot of things and I finally got it the way I wanted it. Thank you sailorcutie for being the first person to review my story. Thank you afquack for helping me through this even though it was you who my boyfriend cheated on me with. I still love you anyway.
