^Serena's POV^
~Serena's Dream~ It was a cold, rainy night and it was lighting, which made it even worst.
"Serena, are you there?" came his sweet voice. "I'm right here Dylan" she said sweetly as she smiled at his approaching figure. "Sere, I think we need to talk" he added solemnly with a little sadness in his voice. "Oh.um.okay" she replied a little unsurely. "It's about us" he told her with a little glint in his eyes, which wasn't there a moment ago. "What are you talking about? We're fine." She replied as she waves him off only to have her wrist caught by a female's hand. "Excuse me, but WHY are you treating MY husband like that?" asks a figure, that's soaking wet and is shooting her death glares. "Y...You're hu.hus.husband! Impossible!! His m.my fiancé`." She mutters to the woman in front of her, whose still holding her wrist and starting to hold on to it tighter. "No, his MY husband and has been for the past 5 YEARS." The woman says flashing Serena, a wedding ring. "D.Dylan, what is going on?" Serena asks with tears streaking down her already soaked face. "I.I thought we were getting a divorce, but thought wrong. That's why I need to talk to you." He tells her softly as he pries the woman's death grip from her wrist. "Don't bother!" she tells him venomously as she sends him daggers mentally pin pointing all of his 'sensitive' spots as she takes off her engagement ring and tosses it at him and just runs down the wet streets all the way to her house, which was 10 miles away. ~End of Dream~
Serena wakes up to the sound of her alarm clock in her ear as she kicks the covers back and rubs her eyes as she feels them wet, from where she had been obviously crying in her sleep.
"Serena. Darien's here" says Sammy through her door as he knocks softly on her door. "Okay, Sam. I'm coming out." She tells him as she slugs over to her door and opens it to reveal a grinning Sammy. "Why are you so fucking happy" she asks with obvious bitterness. "What's wrong with you, Sere?" he asks worried. "Don't worry about it. I'll get over it." She tells him waving her hand in his face as she walks past him only to be stopped by a pull of the wrist, she is twirled back around. "I asked what's wrong with you" he asks, again. "Just another nightmare." She replies as she pulls herself out of his hold and goes into her bathroom.
"God, I thought I got rid of those nightmares!" Serena mutters to herself softly as she splashes cold water onto her face. "Sere, you sure your okay. You looked like shit coming out of your room." Sammy says from the other side of her door. "Thanks so much for the comment" Serena says dryly, "And yes, I'm perfectly fine, just a little blast from the past, but don't worry" Serena adds as she wipes her face dry of the cold dripping water.
Serena then opens the door to come face to face with her annoyingly over protective younger brother. "Move" she says testily as pushes him aside and walks back into her room and gets dressed quickly in a pair of old raggy, pale blue jeans that were about a few sizes to big around her legs and covered up her old dirty tennis shoes fully, and hung off her hips just a little along with a rather snug fitting baby blue spaghetti strap shirt that has 'Angel' written on it but was crossed out with a black permanent marker and had 'Bitch' written underneath it with a Pink one.
"Okay, I'm ready" Serena says as she grabs a scrunchie from her bathroom and grabs her ring of keys from her dresser, as well.
"Finally" Darien says with a hint of sarcasm. "Ha Ha, very FUNNY!" Serena says as she pulls him out the door, "I'll be back later, and this time be home Sammy and No! Mika still can't come over" Serena says behind her back as Darien shuts the door.
^Darien's POV^
"What took you so long?" Darien asks as he starts the car up. "Well, I had just woken up and Sammy wouldn't leave me alone" Serena says as she rubs her temples gently as she tries to get rid of the images of that god-awful night with Dylan. "Oh, okay" Darien says as he pulls into the garage opening and Serena gets out and opens the door and Darien follows.
*There she goes again! Tempting me with those hips of hers! Why can't she just wear something normal and not so provocative? Then again.I'll probably think anything is provocative on her no matter what it is.* Darien tells himself as he watches Serena's ass sway back and forth as she walks over to her White Speedster.
^Serena's POV^
"Darien, hand me the blow torch" Serena tells him as she puts on a welders mask. "Why?" he asks dumbly. "Because I asked you too and I also need to weld these connectors together so they wont fall off." Serena tells him as she flips up the mask and seats down in the driver seat as she begins to look at all of her c.d.s.
*I really need to get more C.D.s.* she thinks to herself as she takes out a Puddle of Mudd c.d. and pops it in the c.d. player and puts it on 'She Hates Me" and blasts the speakers as she is handed the blow torch and begins work on the task at hand with the connectors.
"Why do I still let this haunt me?" Serena mutters to herself as she keeps on welding the connectors together until they melt together to look like one long pipe.
Serena silently turns off the flame as she quietly looks at her work to make sure their isn't any flaws.
"It looks good" comes a gently whisper from behind her. "I just hope it holds" she says as she puts down the torch and takes off her mask as she seats back down in the driver seat. "What's wrong with you today?" asks Darien, whose voice is still behind her. Serena turns off the music, turns down the volume to a more normal level, and then turns toward Darien. "Don't worry about, just the past" she tells him waving her hand at him and then gets up from the car and walks over to her Audi Roadster and takes out some cords.
Just as she begins to work on the part of the NOS system that's in the trunk of her car her cell phone begins to ring.
"Hello?" she asks a little annoyed as to who would interrupt her. "Sere, guess who just got into town" comes a voice over the phone. "I give, who Lita." Serena asks shrugging. "You're going to care and I suggest you give Sammy a heads up along with Micheal" Lita says seriously. "Who is it? I'm a little busy at the-" "Dylan and his Wife, Anna" Lita tells her cutting her off. "L.Let me call you b.back" Serena stammers as she hangs up the phone before Lita could respond.
*Why is he coming back to haunt me in real life? Isn't destroying my life and my dreams enough! Must he haunt every little thing?* Serena asks herself as she slumps against the back of her car as she curls up in a little ball and then pushes a number on her phone.
"Hello, Officer Micheal Grant here. How may I help you?" comes a happy voice. "Mike, don't let Jade go on patrol today whatever you do!" Serena says shakily over the phone. "Why? What's wrong Sere?" he asks with concern. "D.Dylan's back and.and Anna's with him" she replies and then hangs up and pushes another button.
"Hello?" comes a breathless voice over the phone. "Sammy?" she asks in daze now. "Sere, what's the matter?" he asks still a little breathless. "Dylan's back with Anna" Serena says and hangs up the phone, again and lets the tears fall down from her eyes.
"I'm not going to let him ruin me! I'm better than that!" is all she started to mutter to herself as she rocked herself back and forth.
^Darien's POV^
He was looking at all Serena had done with her Speedster when he heard her say something in a shaky voice.
Darien walks over to where he heard the voice come from to see Serena curled up in a little ball and her head laying on her knees as she kept repeating something repeatedly.
"Serena?" he asks worriedly as he kneels down to her as he pushes some of her hair from around her face behind her ear. "What?" she asks weakly. "What's wrong?" he asks as he looks her dead in the eyes and sees a sea of pain envelope him as he makes out torment and suffering. He brings her into a hug as he rubs her back soothingly and whispers calm words into her ear as she begins to calm down a little bit and finally lifts her head from his shoulder.
"Darien, protect me" she whispers looking him dead in the eye without blinking or flinching. "Okay, from who or what?" he asks quietly as he seats down and leans against the wall behind him and pulls her into his lap as he wraps his arms around her. "Dylan" she says simply as she lays against his chest as she takes in his scent, which clams her down even more. "Why?" he asks again, not fully understanding. "His back in town and.and Anna's with him." She whispers as she turns around in his embrace and hugs him tightly. "Darien, you said you wouldn't let anything hurt me, remember?" Serena asks him as she looks up into his eyes pleadingly. "Yes Serena. I remember and I still hold myself to that." He tells her as he continues to rub her back soothingly.
^Raye's POV^
*I wonder where Darien has gone too? He left pretty early for a weekend.* Raye thinks to herself as she seats outside on her porch and gazes at all of Mother Nature's beauty that is around her and of how clear the sky is.
"Ms. Raye, there's a phone call for you" says a butler that comes out onto the porch with a little cordless phone in hand. "Thanks, Mr. Jackson." she says smiling as she takes the phone from him and answers it.
"Raye, you there?" comes Darien's voice over the line. "Yea, what is it?" she asks with a raised eyebrow as she lies back down in her lawn chair. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm staying over at Serena's tonight," Darien tells her making Raye shot up from her relaxing position in her chair. "How come?" she asks suspiciously. "I'm just helping her with something, Chill sis," Darien says mockingly. "Do I need to come over?" she asks worriedly. "No, I'll tell Serena to give you a call in a little bite, so calm down and talk to you later" Darien tells her and then hangs up.
"Mr. Jackson, I'm going up to my room." Raye tells the butler, then stands up from the lawn chair, and hands him the phone.
Raye walks into her room, and swiftly over to her balcony, opens the door, and gazes over the scene in front of her. "What's going on, Darien?" Raye mutters to herself as she watches a young couple stroll past the house, totally oblivious to everything around them.
^Serena's POV^
*What am I doing? Isn't Darien suppose to be a arrogant, chauvinistic pig who doesn't care about anything but himself! Why am I coming to him like this! This is too much!* she tells herself as she lays down in her bed with Sammy and Darien along with Micheal in her living room.
"This isn't fair," she mutters to herself as she falls into a deep nightmarish sleep.
~Serena's Dream~
A young girl around the age of 11 sitting in a small living room along with an old looking couple.
"Grandma, when are mom and daddy getting home?" asks the young girl as she looks up to her grandmother. "Anytime now, baby girl" says the old woman affectionately. "Sere, where's mommy and daddy?" says a small voice. "They went to see that big race down in Daytona," says Sere happily. "When are they coming home?" asks Sam. "Anytime now" she replies as she looks out the window with hopeful eyes.
Just then, the phone rings. "I'll get it," Sere says happily, as she gets up from the couch and races over to the phone. "Hello, this is the Hart residence, Serena speaking" she says in a childish voice. "Hello Serena, is there an older person there I may speak to" comes a deep male voice over the phone. "I'm old enough, you can tell me," she says stubbornly.
"Serena dear, you is it?" asks her grandfather. "I don't know, but he want tell me what he wants, just that he needs to talk to someone older." Serena says a little hurt. "Give me the phone, baby girl" her grandmother replies as she takes the phone from her little grasp. "Okay, but tell me what's so important" she says playfully as she skips over to her little brother. "Sammy, mom and daddy are coming home today!" Serena says in a singsong voice as she jumps up and down on the couch.
~A few moments later~
"Baby girl, Sammy dear, come here for a minute," says her grandmother with a little sadness. "Okay, Grandma" Serena says happily, oblivious to the sadness, "Sam, come on" Serena tells him as she drags him behind her.
"What is it Grandma?" Serena asks cheerfully. "Baby girl, there's something that Grandpa and I have to tell you" her grandmother replies as she fidgets with the him of her shirt. "Okay, I'm all ears and noses" she says happily, as she climbs in her grandmother's lap. "Um, your mommy and daddy, well they got in an accident" her grandmother says as she begins to stroke Serena's hair. "Okay, when are they coming home?" Serena asks confused as she turns and looks her grandfather in the eyes. "They are coming home, right?!" Serena asks tearfully. "I'm sorry, baby girl," her grandmother says as she begins to cry. "B.but there on there way, there coming home anytime now!" Serena says sadly, as she jumps down from her grandmother's lap, but only trips over Sammy's foot and falls down face first on the floor and begins to cry uncontrollably.
~End of Dream~
"It's not fair," Serena mutters as she tosses in turn in her sleep as she thrashes out in her sleep at invisible enemies. "It's not possible," Serena mutters as she stops thrashing and begins to cry.
^Darien's POV^
"What's going on exactly?" Darien asks confused at the 2 angry faces. "Dylan! I knew when she first started going out with him, that I should have stepped in, but she just seemed too happy," Sammy said as he sat down and began to ball his fist up in his hands. "Okay, I'm all for kicking his ass, but what did he do that was so bad?" Darien asks still very confused. "He played her," Micheal says simply as he goes over to the door, "I'll be back. I need to go keep an eye on Jade," he adds as he leaves and closes the door behind him.
"Darien, if you want to know what is going on, then you need to ask her. This is after all her problem, mainly," Sammy says as he gets up and goes into his room.
Darien seats down in the chair that's behind him. *Could someone have hurt her this bad?* Darien asks himself, but is then broken from his thought as he begins to hear noises coming from Serena's room.
He quickly gets up from the chair and goes to her door and slowly opens it and the sight before is enough to make him cry.
He sees her crying in her sleep.
Darien walks over to Serena's bed and as quietly as he can, crawls over to her, takes her into his arms, and notices that she's shivering. He closes his arms around and seats against her headboard as he begins to rock her.
*She is so gorgeous, how can someone hurt her and be able to live with themselves? She looks so innocent, but yet intelligent at the same time.*
^Serena's POV^
Serena opens her eyes, expecting to be hit by the blinding rays of sunlight, but was surprised to see a black - something in her face. She smells it and realizes that it smells just like Darien.
"What is this doing in here?" she mumbles as she kicks, expecting to kick her covers, but ends kicking something soft. "What the hell!" Serena mutters as she opens her eyes wider and realizes that she is leaning up against something that's hard and warm. She finally looks down and sees a pair of arms around her waist. "Who the fuck-" she begins to shout as she turns around and sees who is holding her. "Darien" she mumbles as she turns back around and falls back into his embrace and resuccumbs to sleep.
^Darien's POV^
Darien wakes up with a painful throb in his leg for some reason but the pain fads from his mind as his eyes settle on the sight of beauty in front of his eyes.
"Gorgeous" he mutters as he gently shifts her weight from one arm to another. She clings to his arms as she somehow feels him shifting her.
*I still don't understand what is so bad about this Dylan guy, besides the fact that his broken her heart* he thinks to himself as he stares at Serena's sleeping form in front of him.
He feels her stir in his arms and sees her flutter her eyes open. "Darien" she mumbles as she groggily smiles at him.
"Hey" he replies as he stares at her smiling face. "What are you doing in my room?" she asks as she seats up a little. "I heard you thrashing in the living room and came in here to check up on you. I saw you crying in your sleep and when I came over to you I felt you shaking" he replies, still staring at her as she gets up from the bed and stretches in front of him.
*Does she have to do that in front of me! She must love tormenting me!* he groans to himself.
^Serena's POV^
*He looks so cute when he first wakes up in the morning* she thinks to herself as she stares at his features.
"Let's go see what I can find in the fridge for breakfast," Serena says happily, as she finishes with her stretching out all of the kinks from sleeping in that seating position for who-knows how long.
"Sure" she hears Darien reply as he slowly gets up from the bed.
*Damn, his got such a hot body! He just has to get out of my bed slowly, doesn't he!* she scowls to herself as she watches him get up from her bed.
They seat in the kitchen eating an omelet, beacon, and toast that Darien had fixed for them. "Darien, this is really good," Serena says as she swallows a bite of the omelet. "You sound like you didn't think I could cook" Darien asks with a raised eyebrow, "I didn't actually," she said sheepishly. "Just because you can't cook doesn't mean I can't" Darien said with a mocking grin. "How did you know that I can't cook?" Serena asked with an accused finger pointing at him. "I over heard you talking to Raye that morning when her and me stayed over that night because you 2 got so drunk" Darien said with a little laugh. "Oh, I forgot I had told her that" Serena said as she began to blush as she waved her hand in her dismissive manner. "So when is the next big race coming up?" Serena asks trying to change the subject. "Why? You going to race in it?" Darien asks with an almost hopeful tone.
*Why does Darien always seem to push the subject of me racing, every time I bring it up!* Serena thought to herself.
"Maybe. Why? You want me to beat you that badly?" Serena asks with an amused smirk. "How do you know you can even beat me?" Darien asks leaning against Serena's counter. "Well, as you have so plainly pointed it out to me. I have never lost a race in this circuit, so what or who is to stop me now?" Serena asks with a little smile on her face. "Well I am after all the King of all Racers," he added with an even bigger grin. "And I am the Queen of all Racers" she added mockingly. "Well, then whose to say it wont to turn out into a tie?" he asked with humor. "I say, because I refuse to tie with anybody. I don't tie with people in real life so I refuse to tie with people on the race track!" Serena tells him as she stares him straight into his eyes. "Oh, really?" he asks. "Yes, really" Serena tells him taking a sip of Orange Juice. "Well, what would happen if you did tie on the race track?" he asks with amazement. "Simple, I would rerace them, until I won" she added with a shrug, "Which has never happened," she adds as she stands up. "I'm going to take a shower," she tells him as she goes into her bathroom.
~In the Bathroom~
"Why am I opening up to him like this?" she mumbles to herself as she turns on her shower and lets it run until there's nothing but steam clouding the ceiling of her bathroom, almost looking like mist.
"His just either going to betray me or I'll lose him, so why am I opening up to him?" she asks herself as she lets the scalding water rain over her. "This just doesn't make sense. I'm getting close to someone only to have them snatched from me," she mutters as she washes her hair with her rose and cherry almond shampoo.
~A few minutes later~
Serena gets out the shower and looks around the bathroom for her robe in nothing, but a towel around her body and her hair dripping wet. "Where the hell is my robe!" she says to herself as she rummages around in her hamper.
"Great! I have to go out there in nothing, but a towel. I so hope Darien don't see me," she says to herself as she mentally moans at the thought and opens the door and peers out the door. Not seeing anybody, she quietly walks out of the door and opens her bedroom door. "Serena, what are you doing?" comes the last voice she wanted to hear. "Oh, Darien "Serena says a little surprised and turns around to face him. "Why are you in a towel?" he asks with a raise of his eyebrow. "I forgot my robe" she replies dryly. "Oh, okay" he replies as he lefts his arm and pushes the door behind her to open wider. "Just so you know, Ami called and wanted me to tell you that the last test is next Friday and all of the girls have agreed, and she also sounded really surprised that she was stuttering on the phone" Darien says with obvious humor. "Okay" she tells him as she flashes him a little smile, disappears into her bedroom, and dives for the phone on her bedside table.
She quickly dials a set of numbers and waits for it to be answered.
"Hello" comes a sweet voice over the phone. "Ami" Serena answers as she seats down on the bed, still in her towel. "What is Darien doing over at your place!" Ami almost yells into her ear. "Calm down, first of all. We don't have to move after all, and second of all. His over here, because he brought me home yesterday after I had a mental breakdown after hearing that.that Dylan was back and he spent the night." Serena tells her and she says the last part very quietly. "Oh and why don't we have to move now?" Ami asks with utter confusion. "Well, Darien and me talked about it and we came to an understanding" Serena tells her as she begins to get dressed. "Okay.How did you know Dylan was in town and what did Sammy say?" Ami asks. "Well, Lita called me while I was at the garage yesterday and she told me, Dylan and Anna had come into to town and that I should call Sammy and Micheal" Serena tells her as she puts on a pair tight fitting black jeans that have little fire patches on the back of each pocket and on the left leg it has 'Serena the BITCH' written in orange stitches with a little fork thingy by bitch and horns on top of Serena and red flames all around it. She then put on a lose fitting Red tank top.
"I've got to go Ami, I'll call you later, but tell the girls so far no moving but we might have to, since Dylan's here" Serena tells her and then hangs up the phone and walks out her bedroom door only to come face-to-face with Sammy whose, once again, smiling his face off. "What's gotten you into such a good mood?" Serena asks suspiciously. "No reason, just glad you're better" Sammy says with a glint. "Okay, whatever. Darien and I are going to the garage, and Sammy. If I call here and hear what I heard yesterday, lets just say you're not gonna like me and will be missing some very precious members! Bye" Serena says smiling. "Ser-Serena! You're joking right? You wouldn't do that to me!" Sammy yells with horror written clearly on his face. "Believe me I would. I've got a lot of pent up anger," Serena says winking at him as walks out the door with Darien behind her.
~Inside his car~ "Okay, why are you in such a good mood?" Darien asks suspiciously, as he notices her smiling her head off. "No reason" Serena says waving her hand at the issue. "Let's get going to the garage now," Serena says as she seats back in the seat.
*Why would Dylan be coming back here? His married to little-Miss-that. He doesn't even much have any ties or connections here except me but I wouldn't even touch him if he was the most famous guy in the world!* Serena says to herself as ponders the question at hand: "Why is Dylan back?"
"Serena, were here," Darien tells her, cutting off the engine. "Okay" Serena replies as she gets out the car and heads over to the entrance as she opens up the garage.
Kay, I'm leaving it off here. Let me know what you think ~_* Don't forget to let me know what yea think on the other couples: * Mina- Malachite/Nephlite * Ami- Zoicite/Malachite * Lita-Jade/Nephlite * Raye- Jade/Zoicite * (If you have your own pairings, please let me know, kay ~_*)

"Excuse me, but WHY are you treating MY husband like that?" asks a figure, that's soaking wet and is shooting her death glares. "Y...You're hu.hus.husband! Impossible!! His m.my fiancé`."

She tells him waving her hand in his face as she walks past him only to be stopped by a pull of the wrist, she is twirled back around. "I asked what's wrong with you" he asks, again. "Just another nightmare." She replies as she pulls herself out of his hold and goes into her bathroom.
"God, I thought I got rid of those nightmares!" Serena mutters to herself softly as she splashes cold water onto her face. "Sere, you sure your okay. You looked like shit coming out of your room." Sammy says from the other side of her door. "Thanks so much for the comment" Serena says dryly, "And yes, I'm perfectly fine, just a little blast from the past, but don't worry" Serena adds as she wipes her face dry of the cold dripping water.
Serena then opens the door to come face to face with her annoyingly over protective younger brother. "Move" she says testily as pushes him aside and walks back into her room and gets dressed quickly in a pair of old raggy, pale blue jeans that were about a few sizes to big around her legs and covered up her old dirty tennis shoes fully, and hung off her hips just a little along with a rather snug fitting baby blue spaghetti strap shirt that has 'Angel' written on it but was crossed out with a black permanent marker and had 'Bitch' written underneath it with a Pink one.
"Okay, I'm ready" Serena says as she grabs a scrunchie from her bathroom and grabs her ring of keys from her dresser, as well.
"Finally" Darien says with a hint of sarcasm. "Ha Ha, very FUNNY!" Serena says as she pulls him out the door, "I'll be back later, and this time be home Sammy and No! Mika still can't come over" Serena says behind her back as Darien shuts the door.
^Darien's POV^
"What took you so long?" Darien asks as he starts the car up. "Well, I had just woken up and Sammy wouldn't leave me alone" Serena says as she rubs her temples gently as she tries to get rid of the images of that god-awful night with Dylan. "Oh, okay" Darien says as he pulls into the garage opening and Serena gets out and opens the door and Darien follows.
*There she goes again! Tempting me with those hips of hers! Why can't she just wear something normal and not so provocative? Then again.I'll probably think anything is provocative on her no matter what it is.* Darien tells himself as he watches Serena's ass sway back and forth as she walks over to her White Speedster.
^Serena's POV^
"Darien, hand me the blow torch" Serena tells him as she puts on a welders mask. "Why?" he asks dumbly. "Because I asked you too and I also need to weld these connectors together so they wont fall off." Serena tells him as she flips up the mask and seats down in the driver seat as she begins to look at all of her c.d.s.
*I really need to get more C.D.s.* she thinks to herself as she takes out a Puddle of Mudd c.d. and pops it in the c.d. player and puts it on 'She Hates Me" and blasts the speakers as she is handed the blow torch and begins work on the task at hand with the connectors.
"Why do I still let this haunt me?" Serena mutters to herself as she keeps on welding the connectors together until they melt together to look like one long pipe.
Serena silently turns off the flame as she quietly looks at her work to make sure their isn't any flaws.
"It looks good" comes a gently whisper from behind her. "I just hope it holds" she says as she puts down the torch and takes off her mask as she seats back down in the driver seat. "What's wrong with you today?" asks Darien, whose voice is still behind her. Serena turns off the music, turns down the volume to a more normal level, and then turns toward Darien. "Don't worry about, just the past" she tells him waving her hand at him and then gets up from the car and walks over to her Audi Roadster and takes out some cords.
Just as she begins to work on the part of the NOS system that's in the trunk of her car her cell phone begins to ring.
"Hello?" she asks a little annoyed as to who would interrupt her. "Sere, guess who just got into town" comes a voice over the phone. "I give, who Lita." Serena asks shrugging. "You're going to care and I suggest you give Sammy a heads up along with Micheal" Lita says seriously. "Who is it? I'm a little busy at the-" "Dylan and his Wife, Anna" Lita tells her cutting her off. "L.Let me call you b.back" Serena stammers as she hangs up the phone before Lita could respond.
*Why is he coming back to haunt me in real life? Isn't destroying my life and my dreams enough! Must he haunt every little thing?* Serena asks herself as she slumps against the back of her car as she curls up in a little ball and then pushes a number on her phone.
"Hello, Officer Micheal Grant here. How may I help you?" comes a happy voice. "Mike, don't let Jade go on patrol today whatever you do!" Serena says shakily over the phone. "Why? What's wrong Sere?" he asks with concern. "D.Dylan's back and.and Anna's with him" she replies and then hangs up and pushes another button.
"Hello?" comes a breathless voice over the phone. "Sammy?" she asks in daze now. "Sere, what's the matter?" he asks still a little breathless. "Dylan's back with Anna" Serena says and hangs up the phone, again and lets the tears fall down from her eyes.
"I'm not going to let him ruin me! I'm better than that!" is all she started to mutter to herself as she rocked herself back and forth.
^Darien's POV^
He was looking at all Serena had done with her Speedster when he heard her say something in a shaky voice.
Darien walks over to where he heard the voice come from to see Serena curled up in a little ball and her head laying on her knees as she kept repeating something repeatedly.
"Serena?" he asks worriedly as he kneels down to her as he pushes some of her hair from around her face behind her ear. "What?" she asks weakly. "What's wrong?" he asks as he looks her dead in the eyes and sees a sea of pain envelope him as he makes out torment and suffering. He brings her into a hug as he rubs her back soothingly and whispers calm words into her ear as she begins to calm down a little bit and finally lifts her head from his shoulder.
"Darien, protect me" she whispers looking him dead in the eye without blinking or flinching. "Okay, from who or what?" he asks quietly as he seats down and leans against the wall behind him and pulls her into his lap as he wraps his arms around her. "Dylan" she says simply as she lays against his chest as she takes in his scent, which clams her down even more. "Why?" he asks again, not fully understanding. "His back in town and.and Anna's with him." She whispers as she turns around in his embrace and hugs him tightly. "Darien, you said you wouldn't let anything hurt me, remember?" Serena asks him as she looks up into his eyes pleadingly. "Yes Serena. I remember and I still hold myself to that." He tells her as he continues to rub her back soothingly.
^Raye's POV^
*I wonder where Darien has gone too? He left pretty early for a weekend.* Raye thinks to herself as she seats outside on her porch and gazes at all of Mother Nature's beauty that is around her and of how clear the sky is.
"Ms. Raye, there's a phone call for you" says a butler that comes out onto the porch with a little cordless phone in hand. "Thanks, Mr. Jackson." she says smiling as she takes the phone from him and answers it.
"Raye, you there?" comes Darien's voice over the line. "Yea, what is it?" she asks with a raised eyebrow as she lies back down in her lawn chair. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm staying over at Serena's tonight," Darien tells her making Raye shot up from her relaxing position in her chair. "How come?" she asks suspiciously. "I'm just helping her with something, Chill sis," Darien says mockingly. "Do I need to come over?" she asks worriedly. "No, I'll tell Serena to give you a call in a little bite, so calm down and talk to you later" Darien tells her and then hangs up.
"Mr. Jackson, I'm going up to my room." Raye tells the butler, then stands up from the lawn chair, and hands him the phone.
Raye walks into her room, and swiftly over to her balcony, opens the door, and gazes over the scene in front of her. "What's going on, Darien?" Raye mutters to herself as she watches a young couple stroll past the house, totally oblivious to everything around them.
^Serena's POV^
*What am I doing? Isn't Darien suppose to be a arrogant, chauvinistic pig who doesn't care about anything but himself! Why am I coming to him like this! This is too much!* she tells herself as she lays down in her bed with Sammy and Darien along with Micheal in her living room.
"This isn't fair," she mutters to herself as she falls into a deep nightmarish sleep.
~Serena's Dream~
A young girl around the age of 11 sitting in a small living room along with an old looking couple.
"Grandma, when are mom and daddy getting home?" asks the young girl as she looks up to her grandmother. "Anytime now, baby girl" says the old woman affectionately. "Sere, where's mommy and daddy?" says a small voice. "They went to see that big race down in Daytona," says Sere happily. "When are they coming home?" asks Sam. "Anytime now" she replies as she looks out the window with hopeful eyes.
Just then, the phone rings. "I'll get it," Sere says happily, as she gets up from the couch and races over to the phone. "Hello, this is the Hart residence, Serena speaking" she says in a childish voice. "Hello Serena, is there an older person there I may speak to" comes a deep male voice over the phone. "I'm old enough, you can tell me," she says stubbornly.
"Serena dear, you is it?" asks her grandfather. "I don't know, but he want tell me what he wants, just that he needs to talk to someone older." Serena says a little hurt. "Give me the phone, baby girl" her grandmother replies as she takes the phone from her little grasp. "Okay, but tell me what's so important" she says playfully as she skips over to her little brother. "Sammy, mom and daddy are coming home today!" Serena says in a singsong voice as she jumps up and down on the couch.
~A few moments later~
"Baby girl, Sammy dear, come here for a minute," says her grandmother with a little sadness. "Okay, Grandma" Serena says happily, oblivious to the sadness, "Sam, come on" Serena tells him as she drags him behind her.
"What is it Grandma?" Serena asks cheerfully. "Baby girl, there's something that Grandpa and I have to tell you" her grandmother replies as she fidgets with the him of her shirt. "Okay, I'm all ears and noses" she says happily, as she climbs in her grandmother's lap. "Um, your mommy and daddy, well they got in an accident" her grandmother says as she begins to stroke Serena's hair. "Okay, when are they coming home?" Serena asks confused as she turns and looks her grandfather in the eyes. "They are coming home, right?!" Serena asks tearfully. "I'm sorry, baby girl," her grandmother says as she begins to cry. "B.but there on there way, there coming home anytime now!" Serena says sadly, as she jumps down from her grandmother's lap, but only trips over Sammy's foot and falls down face first on the floor and begins to cry uncontrollably.
~End of Dream~
"It's not fair," Serena mutters as she tosses in turn in her sleep as she thrashes out in her sleep at invisible enemies. "It's not possible," Serena mutters as she stops thrashing and begins to cry.
^Darien's POV^
"What's going on exactly?" Darien asks confused at the 2 angry faces. "Dylan! I knew when she first started going out with him, that I should have stepped in, but she just seemed too happy," Sammy said as he sat down and began to ball his fist up in his hands. "Okay, I'm all for kicking his ass, but what did he do that was so bad?" Darien asks still very confused. "He played her," Micheal says simply as he goes over to the door, "I'll be back. I need to go keep an eye on Jade," he adds as he leaves and closes the door behind him.
"Darien, if you want to know what is going on, then you need to ask her. This is after all her problem, mainly," Sammy says as he gets up and goes into his room.
Darien seats down in the chair that's behind him. *Could someone have hurt her this bad?* Darien asks himself, but is then broken from his thought as he begins to hear noises coming from Serena's room.
He quickly gets up from the chair and goes to her door and slowly opens it and the sight before is enough to make him cry.
He sees her crying in her sleep.
Darien walks over to Serena's bed and as quietly as he can, crawls over to her, takes her into his arms, and notices that she's shivering. He closes his arms around and seats against her headboard as he begins to rock her.
*She is so gorgeous, how can someone hurt her and be able to live with themselves? She looks so innocent, but yet intelligent at the same time.*
^Serena's POV^
Serena opens her eyes, expecting to be hit by the blinding rays of sunlight, but was surprised to see a black - something in her face. She smells it and realizes that it smells just like Darien.
"What is this doing in here?" she mumbles as she kicks, expecting to kick her covers, but ends kicking something soft. "What the hell!" Serena mutters as she opens her eyes wider and realizes that she is leaning up against something that's hard and warm. She finally looks down and sees a pair of arms around her waist. "Who the fuck-" she begins to shout as she turns around and sees who is holding her. "Darien" she mumbles as she turns back around and falls back into his embrace and resuccumbs to sleep.
^Darien's POV^
Darien wakes up with a painful throb in his leg for some reason but the pain fads from his mind as his eyes settle on the sight of beauty in front of his eyes.
"Gorgeous" he mutters as he gently shifts her weight from one arm to another. She clings to his arms as she somehow feels him shifting her.
*I still don't understand what is so bad about this Dylan guy, besides the fact that his broken her heart* he thinks to himself as he stares at Serena's sleeping form in front of him.
He feels her stir in his arms and sees her flutter her eyes open. "Darien" she mumbles as she groggily smiles at him.
"Hey" he replies as he stares at her smiling face. "What are you doing in my room?" she asks as she seats up a little. "I heard you thrashing in the living room and came in here to check up on you. I saw you crying in your sleep and when I came over to you I felt you shaking" he replies, still staring at her as she gets up from the bed and stretches in front of him.
*Does she have to do that in front of me! She must love tormenting me!* he groans to himself.
^Serena's POV^
*He looks so cute when he first wakes up in the morning* she thinks to herself as she stares at his features.
"Let's go see what I can find in the fridge for breakfast," Serena says happily, as she finishes with her stretching out all of the kinks from sleeping in that seating position for who-knows how long.
"Sure" she hears Darien reply as he slowly gets up from the bed.
*Damn, his got such a hot body! He just has to get out of my bed slowly, doesn't he!* she scowls to herself as she watches him get up from her bed.
They seat in the kitchen eating an omelet, beacon, and toast that Darien had fixed for them. "Darien, this is really good," Serena says as she swallows a bite of the omelet. "You sound like you didn't think I could cook" Darien asks with a raised eyebrow, "I didn't actually," she said sheepishly. "Just because you can't cook doesn't mean I can't" Darien said with a mocking grin. "How did you know that I can't cook?" Serena asked with an accused finger pointing at him. "I over heard you talking to Raye that morning when her and me stayed over that night because you 2 got so drunk" Darien said with a little laugh. "Oh, I forgot I had told her that" Serena said as she began to blush as she waved her hand in her dismissive manner. "So when is the next big race coming up?" Serena asks trying to change the subject. "Why? You going to race in it?" Darien asks with an almost hopeful tone.
*Why does Darien always seem to push the subject of me racing, every time I bring it up!* Serena thought to herself.
"Maybe. Why? You want me to beat you that badly?" Serena asks with an amused smirk. "How do you know you can even beat me?" Darien asks leaning against Serena's counter. "Well, as you have so plainly pointed it out to me. I have never lost a race in this circuit, so what or who is to stop me now?" Serena asks with a little smile on her face. "Well I am after all the King of all Racers," he added with an even bigger grin. "And I am the Queen of all Racers" she added mockingly. "Well, then whose to say it wont to turn out into a tie?" he asked with humor. "I say, because I refuse to tie with anybody. I don't tie with people in real life so I refuse to tie with people on the race track!" Serena tells him as she stares him straight into his eyes. "Oh, really?" he asks. "Yes, really" Serena tells him taking a sip of Orange Juice. "Well, what would happen if you did tie on the race track?" he asks with amazement. "Simple, I would rerace them, until I won" she added with a shrug, "Which has never happened," she adds as she stands up. "I'm going to take a shower," she tells him as she goes into her bathroom.
~In the Bathroom~
"Why am I opening up to him like this?" she mumbles to herself as she turns on her shower and lets it run until there's nothing but steam clouding the ceiling of her bathroom, almost looking like mist.
"His just either going to betray me or I'll lose him, so why am I opening up to him?" she asks herself as she lets the scalding water rain over her. "This just doesn't make sense. I'm getting close to someone only to have them snatched from me," she mutters as she washes her hair with her rose and cherry almond shampoo.
~A few minutes later~
Serena gets out the shower and looks around the bathroom for her robe in nothing, but a towel around her body and her hair dripping wet. "Where the hell is my robe!" she says to herself as she rummages around in her hamper.
"Great! I have to go out there in nothing, but a towel. I so hope Darien don't see me," she says to herself as she mentally moans at the thought and opens the door and peers out the door. Not seeing anybody, she quietly walks out of the door and opens her bedroom door. "Serena, what are you doing?" comes the last voice she wanted to hear. "Oh, Darien "Serena says a little surprised and turns around to face him. "Why are you in a towel?" he asks with a raise of his eyebrow. "I forgot my robe" she replies dryly. "Oh, okay" he replies as he lefts his arm and pushes the door behind her to open wider. "Just so you know, Ami called and wanted me to tell you that the last test is next Friday and all of the girls have agreed, and she also sounded really surprised that she was stuttering on the phone" Darien says with obvious humor. "Okay" she tells him as she flashes him a little smile, disappears into her bedroom, and dives for the phone on her bedside table.
She quickly dials a set of numbers and waits for it to be answered.
"Hello" comes a sweet voice over the phone. "Ami" Serena answers as she seats down on the bed, still in her towel. "What is Darien doing over at your place!" Ami almost yells into her ear. "Calm down, first of all. We don't have to move after all, and second of all. His over here, because he brought me home yesterday after I had a mental breakdown after hearing that.that Dylan was back and he spent the night." Serena tells her and she says the last part very quietly. "Oh and why don't we have to move now?" Ami asks with utter confusion. "Well, Darien and me talked about it and we came to an understanding" Serena tells her as she begins to get dressed. "Okay.How did you know Dylan was in town and what did Sammy say?" Ami asks. "Well, Lita called me while I was at the garage yesterday and she told me, Dylan and Anna had come into to town and that I should call Sammy and Micheal" Serena tells her as she puts on a pair tight fitting black jeans that have little fire patches on the back of each pocket and on the left leg it has 'Serena the BITCH' written in orange stitches with a little fork thingy by bitch and horns on top of Serena and red flames all around it. She then put on a lose fitting Red tank top.
"I've got to go Ami, I'll call you later, but tell the girls so far no moving but we might have to, since Dylan's here" Serena tells her and then hangs up the phone and walks out her bedroom door only to come face-to-face with Sammy whose, once again, smiling his face off. "What's gotten you into such a good mood?" Serena asks suspiciously. "No reason, just glad you're better" Sammy says with a glint. "Okay, whatever. Darien and I are going to the garage, and Sammy. If I call here and hear what I heard yesterday, lets just say you're not gonna like me and will be missing some very precious members! Bye" Serena says smiling. "Ser-Serena! You're joking right? You wouldn't do that to me!" Sammy yells with horror written clearly on his face. "Believe me I would. I've got a lot of pent up anger," Serena says winking at him as walks out the door with Darien behind her.
~Inside his car~ "Okay, why are you in such a good mood?" Darien asks suspiciously, as he notices her smiling her head off. "No reason" Serena says waving her hand at the issue. "Let's get going to the garage now," Serena says as she seats back in the seat.
*Why would Dylan be coming back here? His married to little-Miss-that. He doesn't even much have any ties or connections here except me but I wouldn't even touch him if he was the most famous guy in the world!* Serena says to herself as ponders the question at hand: "Why is Dylan back?"
"Serena, were here," Darien tells her, cutting off the engine. "Okay" Serena replies as she gets out the car and heads over to the entrance as she opens up the garage.
