Serena threw her rag at Mina, " I can't believe you did that! I was scared to death. You almost gave me a heart attack!"
Mina was laughing so hard she could barely speak.gasping for air she just pointed at Serena and kept laughing.
" I THOUGHT YOU WERE SEIYA DAMMIT!!!!!" Serena burst out losing her temper with her best friend.
At the mention of Seiya's name Mina stopped laughing abruptly. Getting up off the floor she walked over to Serena who was now clutching the counter like she was going to faint.
"'Rena? What made you mention Seiya?" concern was in Mina's voice. All of the group knew what Serena had went through with Seiya, and none wanted to see a repeat.
" He contacted me last night" Serena whispered as tears filled her eyes at the memories
~*~Flashback~*~
Serena looked deep into Seiya's blue eyes " I love you Bunny,"
" I love you too Seiya"
~*~Flashback~*~
Pain raced through her body as Seiya's hand connected with her cheek. " You little SLUT"
" Bu-ut Seiya I didn't"
Another blow. " SHUT UP!"
~*~ Flashback~*~
Tears ran down Seiyas' cheeks as he helped her off the ground, " Oh Bunny, I'm so sorry, I-I-I didn't mean to I swear. I don't know what I was thinking"
" It's okay Seiya, I know you didn't mean to."
" I love you Bunny"
" I love you too Seiya."
~*~ End of Flashbacks~*~
Everything around Serena suddenly started to spin, grasping desperately for a stool before she collapsed she barely heard Mina call for Andrew and him half carrying her into the back room.
"Sere, Sere hun, please, talk to me, please sweetheart, please," Andrew gently placed his hands on both sides of Serena's face.
" GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Serena screamed sitting straight up.
Looking around frantically at Andrew and Mina's stunned faces she burst into tears. Feeling two pairs of arms wrap around her in support only made her cry harder. She had overcome so much this past year, she'd gotten a job and kept it, she's made great friends and she had finally taken a risk and gotten a new boyfriend, and it was all coming un-raveled. Serena shook her head. NO! She said to herself, I'm stronger than this, I am stronger than him, I can, I WILL get over this. Sniffing a couple times she accepted the rag that Andrew held out for her. Drying her face and a couple of deep breaths later she assured Andrew that she was okay, and that she could finish out her shift. After re-assuring Mina again she went back out to wait on the few customers that had walked in.
~*~ 2 hours later~*~
Serena trudged wearily upstairs, she knew that Darien would be on the computer now, and that he'd expect her to be on too, but her head was hurting so much, that she just didn't know if she was up to it. She also knew that the instant she signed on Darien would be able to tell something was wrong. Knowing she was damned if she did damned if she didn't she logged on anyway.
The User AJ31 has sent you a message would you like to accept?
Serena clicked yes
SxeRedHead: Hey.
AJ31: Hey baby doll!
AJ31: What's the matter?
Cursing under her breath about boyfriends with ESP she quickly typed
SxeRedHead: Nothing is wrong baby, I'm just a little tired. I had to fire Nicole today.
AJ31: Why?
SxeRedHead: She was late today and out of dress code, besides she got rude with management, she I just told her she could go.
AJ31: Sere...
SxeRedHead: Okay Okay, she was late for work, dressed in some shorts that would make daisy dukes look like Capri pants and a shirt that made a bandana look like a rug, she got an attitude with me so I took her to the street corner and told her she could work there dressed like that.
AJ31: LMAO Serena baby, tell me you didn't?!?!?!
SxeRedHead: I sure as hell did!!!!
AJ31: Sere you know the only reason you don't like her is because she tried to flirt with me that day I picked you up from work.
SxeRedHead: Well that is one reason, but I will not tolerate that kind of insolence from any of my girls, nor that kind of apparel so why should she be any different?
AJ31: Even so, that isn't what is bothering you, so why don't you just tell me what is?
SxeRedHead: No that is about all that is bothering me, besides this killer headache I have.
AJ31: Serena Cailet Tsukino..
SxeRedHead: Darien Jackson Shields...
AJ31: *sigh * If you are sure that is all that is the matter?
SxeRedHead: Yes, hun, I'm sure...look baby, I'm going to go out for a little bit, I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?
AJ31: Where are you going?
SxeRedHead: I was thinking about going to Moonlight Rhapsody.
AJ31: Are you sure you're up to it? I mean, you really should get some rest if you head hurts that bad.
SxeRedHead: I will sweetheart I promise. But I've just got to go out tonight. I'll see you in three weeks, right?
AJ31: If I can't get home sooner. I don't like being away from you this long, I'm going to try to get home by next week, I know you won't mind.
Serena wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying her thoughts were already on the club and a chance to have something to do that was all hers.
SxeRedHead: That's great baby, I'll see you then. *kissies * bye
SxeRedHead has logged off..
(Darien POV)
Darien was a bit shocked at her sudden departure. Something had been bothering her lately, and he didn't like the vibes he had been getting. What could be that matter with her? She had never acted like this before. I mean, yeah at first she was upset cause he wouldn't go to the club with her. But he was 26, clubs held no appeal to him anymore. But he had never stopped her from going before now, and he wouldn't now. But he couldn't help but wonder. Could he trust Serena?
