One Night at Shields
By Strawberry
I Don't Own SM! Or the friends themes! Or Moulin rouge parts that might be in this chapter.
Serena looked at him unbelievable. She was ecstatic and wanted to tell him she felt the same way that he was the man she was talking about and was about but she didn't realize the long pause she had taken. What would you think if you where Darien?
'She doesn't feel the same way…' He thought
"That's what I'm going to say to her, when I see her. What do you think?" He said making it up in that last minute, Serena gave him a look that could kill but he didn't notice it.
"You-You should add something about how you never knew you could uh- feel, like this." She said as she got all choked up with tears
"How about, I never I knew I could feel like this, like I've never seen the sky before." He said
Serena nodded, she was glad it was raining because Darien couldn't tell she was crying. Darien looked down, and closed his eyes painfully.
'How can someone…' He thought
'Hurt you so much…' Serena thought the same time Darien was thinking the same thing.
'But I still love you.' Darien thought
"Well I should go." Darien said
"Yeah, I'm going to stay up hear for a bit longer." Serena said, After Darien left, Serena got down from the roof and ran to Mina's house, the closest house around. When Mina opened the door Serena jumped into her arms and cried.
"Serena what is it?" Mina asked
Darien *sob* he love's *sob* someone else." She said. Mina looked at her.
"How dose that affect you?" She asked, for Serena never shared her feelings of Darien to anyone, to them he was just a friend to Serena.
"I love him!" Serena sobbed
"WHAT??!?" Mina said
"You love Darien?!?!?" She asked excitedly
"Well I certainly am attracted to him and *sob* he, he's so charming and hansom and I feel very different around him. It's very strong and I-I think I love him." She said
"Serena you can't do this. He can't see you like this, come inside and spend the weekend and tell me what happened, the girls are coming over to spend the weekend, my parents will be gone. I couldn't get a hold of you but I left a message on your machine." Mina said as she took Serena in.
Meanwhile…
Darien sat in the apartment; he just got word from Mina that since there was a long weekend that Serena would be staying with her. He buried his head in his hands, and then took another drink of the big bottle of wine. It would indeed be a long lonely weekend and he couldn't bury himself in work because he had gotten the weekend off.
Back with Serena…
"Serena that's your 5th milkshake and the girls haven't even been here for at least 30 minutes." Mina said. trying not to make Serena mad.
"Never fall in love, love is just a game, love makes us act like we are fools, throw are lives away for one happy day." She said
"She sounds so senile." Raye whispered to Amy, see nobody but Mina knew what happened.
"Serena, I just I want to say. I'm sorry." Raye said
"What?" Serena asked not paying attention
"If it hadn't been for you and Darien I would have never noticed Chad, he's incredible." Raye said. Serena only heard the words "You and Darien."
"No!" She said as she stormed into the bathroom
"What's wrong with her?" Raye asked
"Her heart was broken." Mina said
"What happened?" Amy said
"I don't know if he wants me to say anything, juts give her some time." Mina said
Serena opened the other bathroom door to Mina's room, the girls where in the other room, not knowing she was gone from the bathroom, it was one of those bathrooms with 2 doors on ether side so that's how they didn't see her.
"Just to be in your arms for one day." She said to herself
"How wonderful life was, with you." She continued, she rubbed her head in frustration
"It's probably not even love." She said
Darien threw the empty wine bottle on the ground, he didn't feel drunk, he just felt miserable, she hurt him and he could never look at her the same way. Yet he felt himself more attracted to her, now that she knew of his feelings things would change for the worst. There was a knock at the door but Darien didn't even want to get up, the door opened after maybe 5 minutes of knocking and no response, it was Andrew.
"Darien! Didn't you hear me knocking?!?!?" Andrew said
"I don't feel much like talking Andrew, if you'll excuse me." He started
"Dude this is your apartment! You're drunk! And you didn't even go to a bar, what happened?" Andrew said
"Please Andrew, not now. I just want to be alone." He said
"Well you're MY friend and I want to make sure you won't do anything stupid." He said as he took a seat
"I was here this morning and it wasn't dirty, this place is crap fest 2002. Serena really kept it together." Andrew said
"She did." Darien said as he pulled out another bottle
"Stop it Darien! I've never seen you this miserable." Andrew said as he took the bottle, Darien didn't put up much of a fight; he just sat down but fell.
'Drunker then I thought.' He thought
"Love is just a game, nobody wins." Darien said
"Love lifts us up where you belong, all you need it love." Andrew said
"This from the guy who made a bet with me how many people he could screw before graduation." Darien said
"That was before I met Nicole." Andrew said
"What about Rita?" Darien asked
"We broke up the other day." Andrew shrugged
"But I thought she was the love of your life." Darien said
"We grew apart." Andrew said
"But Nicole, she's great and not in a sexual way, I mean I haven't done it with her yet." Andrew said sheepishly
"Andrew you're just bumming me out even more, everywhere you turn, and everyone you know is in love, there's love everywhere." Darien said disgustedly
"There's love with you too, you and Serena have a thing for each other." Andrew said
"I may love her but the feelings not reciprocal." Darien said
"What?!? NO! I've seen the way she looks at you, it has to be love! Or maybe she wants to kill you!" Andrew joked
"Ha Ha Ha Andrew, please not now, just leave me alone." Darien said
"All right but I'll come and check on you in the morning bud, you were never a talking kind of person." He said as he left
