Saying Goodbye Chapter Two

By Silver Pegasus

Darien Looked at the road ahead of him, it seemed to him That Tokyo

had changed in one form or another, but he shrugged it off thinking

it could have been the fact he had been away for a couple of years

and he expected something to have changed.

He wondered about Serena, his beautiful girlfriend.... Darien shook

his head, she wasn't his anymore, he made the mistake of being a

coward and not owning up to his mistake.

Darien wasn't sure about alot of things since he left two years ago,

all he was sure about was that he wanted Serena back in his life,

and he didn't care who he had to walk on to achieve that goal, he

needed to make Serena realise he had made a mistake.

Did he regret what he did two years ago? the very same mistake that

made him leave her? Bloody hell he did, there wasn't a day that he

didn't hate himself for it, but it did happen and there was nothing

that could change that fact.

He wished that incident never happened, all he could think about was

how Serena was going to take it once he told her, would she forgive

him, he hoped so, but he knew it couldn't be that easy and honestly

he didn't want it to be, he wouldn't be surprised if she was bitter

and cold-hearted towards him, honestly he expected nothing less from

her, he had hurt her two years ago and he knew he deserved everything

he got.

He let his thoughts come to a halt as he laid eyes on the apartment

he shared with Serena, or used to share with Serena he corrected, He

didn't realise he had stopped outside the apartment, until his car

came to a halt.

He wondered if Serena still lived there, or she left because of all

the memories it contained, all he knew somebody lived there and he

had no idea if it was Serena or not, and he vowed to find out.

First thing was first though, he had to drop off all his things at

the hotel til he found something something more permanent.Darien took

one last look at the apartment, put his car into reverse, glanced

into the mirror, and drove off heading to the hotel that was a couple

of blocks away.

Darien was glad he came back to Japan a couple of weeks earlier, he

still had a couple of weeks before he had to start work at the

hospital, he needed the time to explain why and what happened that

night, he didn't exactly know what happened but he had a fair idea.

*FLASHBACK*

Serena really wanted him to go to the celebration party they were

throwing for Amy, she had just graduated from Medical School and was

now a full fledged doctor, he didn't want to go for the reason he

knew she was going to be there,he hated the very presence of her

hated her being anywhere near him, it didn't make things easier

when it was one of her closest friends that was throwing herself

at him, he remembered pleading with Serena "Can we just stay home

and do something more productive?".

He remembered Serena crossing her arms in stubborness and answering

"Darien, I know you hate parties,but this is Amy's party, she's your

friend too,and even if I have to drag you, your coming, and I bet

Drew would help me Drag you"

He had groaned at that and knew he had no choice,he did but he knew

Serena was excited about this party and she was determined he was

going too, the things he did for love and still would do.

They pulled up outside the hall they hired for the party and entered

inside, and he had cringed when he locked eyes with the girl he wanted to avoid. Darien knew

he had no chance to avoid her the moment Serena let go off his hand to go to talk to Amy.

Serena smiled, obviously trusting her friend with him, he tried to

make his way over to Serena but she pulled him away, he was on his

way to tell Serena once and for all what was going on, but she just

pushed herself up against him and purred into his ear "Hey pretty boy what do you say we have a drink

and then you dance with me? you know how much I would love that body of yours pressed up against mine"

He pushed her hands off him, "Damn you, Just leave me alone, I'm dating Serena, she happens to be your best friend,

she's the only one I want so Back off" He grounded out through his teeth.

"I know you want me, what would it take for you to make love to me again Darien?"

He shot daggers at her and grabbed her by the shoulders "We might

have had something before, but somewhere down the line

It all changed around the time we both met Serena and I knew then that it there never was an us, I never loved you,

never pretended to, so don't expect me to be keeping your bed warm any longer"

"Does Serena know about our past history?" She replied sweetly, too sweetly for Darien's liking.

"No, and it better stay that way, you won't say a word to her, or

I swear you'll regret it and you know I mean that" He seethed, let go

off her shoulder and walked off to get something to drink.

She watched him go, and whispered "I will have you in my bed by the end of this night" with a smug grin she followed

him to the table of drinks, she watched as Darien talked

with Amy,Serena talking To Andrew, she lingered around Darien's glass

of wine and grabbed a glass for herself all the time smiling smugly.

*End Flashback

He didn't remember anything much after that point, except when he

woke up to find himself in her bed, and learnt from her, that she had

drugged his drink. He couldn't bring himself to say her name from

that day onwards, it always left a bitter taste in his mouth.

He just wanted Raye out of his life, although it wouldn't be that

easy, she was Serena's best friend.

He looked up to find himself outside the hotel, parked his car, and

got out of his car to check into reception. He walked into the hotel

Checked in, unloaded his car and hauled all his stuff up to his temporary room, locked the room

and went back to his car.

He was back on the road, deciding to pay a visit to the arcade, to

see his best friend Andrew, although many people called him Drew

every now and then. Drew knew what happened two years ago, the only

who did, the only one who understood his need to get away.

He recalled Drew's last words "Do what you feel is right, if you

think leaving is your only option, go, but think it through, it's

not only you that is going to be hurt by your decision".

Darien apperciated the advice that Andrew gave, but it made him wonder what difference it

would have made if he listened,

maybe it would have lessened the pain in his heart,

maybe it would have never made him run away, and it would have stopped the guilt that lingered inside of him.

The arcade was in sight, and he parked the car and took a big

breath when he entered inside, the bells rang alerting Andrew to

his presence.

Andrew looked up and he smiled from ear to ear, "Dare man!" He

exclaimed "how are you? how long have you been back? why didn't

you let me know you were coming back?" Andrew asked firing questions

rapidly.

"Calm down Andrew, I'm fine as you can see, I've only been here

for a couple of hours, I didn't tell you because It was a spur

of the moment thing and I wanted to surprise you" Darien answered

Andrew was going to ask another question when the bells rang again

showing two figures Darien knew well, he sucked in his breath.

Darien's eye colour changed to black the moment he laid eyes on

Raye, Raye smiled that sickly sweet smile of hers.

Darien's eyes turned soft when he locked gazes with Serena.

Serena gasped as she saw him and whispered his name the same moment

that he said her name. "Serena"
