As the music ended and the audience applauded Serena walked off stage to Alex and handed him a stack of papers.
" So when do we leave?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Five Months Later*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Darien walked in the Crown Rose Parlor " Hey Andrew, sup?"
Andrew stared at Darien as if he had grown two heads, " What do you mean sup? You walk in here talking as if everything were okay, as if nothing had changed. Well buddy you are wrong everything has changed. And you were and are the reason."
" Andrew, what one earth are you talking about? And where is Serena, I called the house but she wasn't at home and she obviously isn't here! I had to call a cab! I haven't even been to the house to drop off my stuff. "
Andrew stared at Darien, " You mean you don't know?"
Darien stared at Andrew, " Know what?"
"You don't know"
" What don't I know?"
" About Serena." Andrew kept his face and tone neutral, there must have been a reason Serena hadn't told Darien. Let him find out for himself.
" About Sere.." Darien voice trailed off as he dropped his belonging to the floor and ran the 5 blocks to their apartment. Surely if something had been wrong with Serena someone would have called him!
But would he have answered the phone?
Fumbling with his keys he cursed until he finally got the door open. Darien stared into his apartment the streams of sun lighting up the dust motes floating in the air that smelled stale with the vaguest hint of strawberries.
"SERENA!?" Darien ran into the kitchen, it was 6 o'clock, Serena always ate a salad at 6. But she wasn't in the kitchen...
"Serena!" Darien ran to the bathroom.all her makeup was gone, as were her Hello Kitty! towels and her scrunchies that always littered the counter.
Running into the bedroom Darien called one last time. "Serena!!!!" he pulled open her chest of drawers only to find them empty, a search of their closet produced the same results sinking down on the bed he sat there, wondering where she went and why.
Walking back into the living room he saw the answering machine flashing, pressing play he listened in silence.
"Serena? It's Darien, give me a call when you-"
*delete*
"Serena. Darien, call me?"
*delete*
"Serena,"
*delete*
"Sere, please."
*delete*
Darien was about to just erase the whole tape when he heard a familiar voice
"Darien? It's me," Serena gave a timid laugh. " It's weird, saying who this is like you don't recognize my voice." She laughed again. " I guess if you are listening to this then you have found I'm gone. I know you are probably wondering where and why. Well, all I can say right now is that I'm gone, and I won't be coming back for a while. A long while. I know you wanted us to be friends, and make no mistake we are, we're friends, we always have been, we always will be. I'm sorry that things didn't turn out different."
Male Voice: Serena, it's time to go our flight is about to leave
Serena: Okay give me a minute
" Well Darien, before I go I wanted you to know that you will find that your rent has been paid for the next 8 months, I paid it with the money I won at the Talent Contest. I don't know when I'll hear from you again, or when you will hear from me again. I just wanted to let you know I was okay. Give Andrew my love."

AN: I know this chapter is a long time in coming and I apologize all my readers are great. Thank you for waiting. I promise I will try not to wait so long in the future. As to the readers who read my other stories, those probably will not get updated any time soon. I am sorry, I wrote those stories so long ago I don't know where I want them to go anymore. I 'm going to have to come up with a whole new plot for most of them. As always, IM's and e-mails are welcome. I love to hear your comments, so, leave!
