Title: If I Was the One Author: Munchkin Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from SailorMoon. The character Ken is just somebody I made up. I'm not quite sure if there is a character named Ken in the SailorMoon series, but he is my own creation. Please don't sue me.

Recap: Serena finds out that Darien is cheating on her. There is going to be quite a bit of internal monologue.

Chapter Three

"Serena! Hey Serena wait up!"

"Serena!" He tried calling to her again.

I could have sworn I heard somebody calling me. It sounded so much like Darien. But no it couldn't have been him. He act's like he barely knows me in public.

"Serena! Hold up."

Turning her head around Serena saw that it was Darien.

Darien ran a bit to catch up to her. "Hey Serena, why didn't you answer me when I called to you?" he asked.

"Oh sorry Darien, I must have not heard you. You know me always have my head in the clouds. Hehe.

"Yeah that's true." "How come you have been avoiding me this whole week? You don't pick up the phone when I try to call. Is everything alright?"

"I've just been busy with school and stuff. You know how it is. "Really? Are you sure everything is all right? You look as if there's something wrong. Come on Usako, you can tell me."

"No really, everything is fi.fine." I can't take this anymore. If the reason he has been trying to reach me is because he wants to break up with me then why can't he just get it over with? Why does he have to torture me, acting like he cares?

"Usako! Why are you crying? Please stop, people are starting to stare."

She just couldn't take it anymore. How could he just stand there and ask her what's wrong? How could he call her that name when he has another girlfriend?

"Darien I saw your ex-girlfriend coming out of your apartment last time! How can you ask me what's wrong.

"Usako I can explain, it's not what you think."

"Not what I think? How can you even say that? She even told me herself that she just came out of her "boy-friend's" apartment!" I can't believe you Darien; I thought that you loved me. But all you ever do is break my heart over and over again. If you have been trying to reach me to break up with me, then just get it over with!"

Serena sunk down to the ground; tears slowly rolling down her pale cheeks. She didn't' care anymore. The one man she thought loved her found somebody else.

"Oh please Serena please stop crying. Baby please stop crying, I can explain everything. I know how it looks like, but it's not how it seems." Darien's attempt at calming Serena down was failing miserably. He really didn't want to see her crying like this. Especially not in the middle of the street where everybody could see.

"Not what it seems? What do you expect me to think when your ex-girlfriend walks out of your apartment door? And having her tell you that she just walked out of her boyfriend's apartment?"

It was difficult for Serena to say this through her tears but she got it out.

Grabbing hold of her chin, Darien turned her face up so she would look at him.

"You see what happen was, one of my classmates needed a place to stay. Since I have an extra room, I told him that he could rent it from me. Sarah is going out with him right now. I know that I went out with her before, but it was nothing. You know that. By saying her boyfriend's apartment, she probably meant Ken. I've been trying to reach you lately to explain this to you. But you've been avoiding me this whole week. Now I know why. "

"Re.really?" Asked Serena attentively

"Yes, of course Serena. You know I love you with all my heart. Now come on lets go get some ice cream, my treat. Then after that we can go visit Ken at my apartment if you still don't believe me. Okay?"

Answering with a simple nod of her head, not being able to say much else at the moment. She felt bad for accusing Darien of cheating on her.

Calmed by his words, she got up with the Darien's help the two walked off to the ice cream parlor.

~Ice cream parlor~

Sitting down at a corner booth, Serena ordered a banana split while Darien ordered an ice cream cone dipped in chocolate that hardens.

The wait for their order was in silence.

"Serena are you okay? You haven't said a thing since we got here. I know that in the past I've made many mistakes to ruin our relationship. But I try to learn from them. Please forgive me for ever making you doubt our love."

Looking up into Darien's dark eyes, she couldn't help but feel drawn to them. She knew that she loved him no matter what he did.

"Darien, I've already forgiven you. I should be the one that is sorry. I'm sorry for thinking that you were cheating on me. "

"No, it was my fault for not telling you sooner. Now let's forget about that okay? After this we can still go visit Ken if you still don't believe me. " Darien answered.

" No, no. I believe you." Darien breathed a sigh of relief. " But I wouldn't mind meeting your classmate though." Serena smiled at him.

~20 minutes later~

"Are you ready to go? " Darien questioned Serena after they were done with their desserts.

Smiling slightly Serena nodded and started to get up to leave.

"Wait a minute. Let me go wash up a bit okay?" Stopping Serena from getting up further.

"Yeah sure. " Replied Serena.

Walking towards the bathroom, Darien turned back to see if Serena is watching him. Seeing that she is engrossed in the menu again he pulled out is cell phone and dialed his house number.

"Hey Ken, this is Darien. Is Sarah there with you? Oh okay then but I'm bringing Serena to the apartment with me in a bit. She saw Sarah coming out of the apartment last week. Yes I know. That's why I need your help. When I bring her over I need you to.

TBC.

A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucked. I had to revise it a bit. Plus the first time I put it up some stuff went wrong so I had to take it off. I know there is too much talking and the writing isn't any better than the first time. But please bear with me. If I made any mistakes please forgive me. This chapter was rather boring; I'll try to make the next one better. Thank you for reading.
