Chapter Four ~ Light Breezes
"Dr. Shields please report to the front desk, Dr. Shields."
"I guess I'll see you later Dare." Andrew waved as Darien headed for the door.
"See ya Drew," he replied not bothering to look back. As he was walking down the halls all he could think about was Serena, and seeing her last night with her blonde locks and sapphire eyes. When he reached the small woman behind the vanilla desk she told him to go to dr. Kincaid's office without looking up from the flashing computer screen.
Sighing Darien made his way to Dr. Kincaid office. The door he stopped at had a golden emblem which read: Head of Cancer Department: Dr. Kincaid. After knocking on the door and hearing a muffled 'come in'
"You wanted to see me Dr. Kincaid,"
"oh, please Darien, don't be so formal, call me Alec," The doctor merrily said. "Darien I have an important matter to discuss with you." he stopped looking directly at Darien. "I'm being transferred to a Hospital in New York. And I want you to take my place."
"W-w-what" Darien crocked. " M-m-me?"
"I know it may come as a surprise, but you're the best. and this hospital needs someone fresh. I know you can do this I believe in you." Alec said with a twinkle in his green eyes. "Well, what do you say?"
"Yeah, definitely," he replied enthusiastically.
"I'll be leaving in a week or so; I'll need to give you the patient files and…"
~~~~~~
Sighing, Darien exited the hospital. It had seemed to him as if Dr. Kincaid had talked forever, of things that should be done. ~Its was 3:30, I guess I'll go see if Serna-a-Andrew is at the Crown~
A couple minutes later Darien arrived at the crown, which wasn't overly crowded. Their on the left side of the counter he saw Serena staring at a bowl of melting ice cream. Now poor Darien was worried before but this almost knocked him back. Regaining his composure he walked over to the deeply concentrated girl sat himself next to her. ~don't just sit their say something you idiot!~ his inner voice yelled.
"hey me-uh-Serena," he said catching himself she looked up at him startled. Then she mournfully smiled.
"Hi Darien, how are you?" she asked, with the same dower expression on her face and a monotone voice.
"I'm fine, you don't seem to be though," he replied, starting to worry.
"I'm o.k., just a little tired, that's all, don't let it worry you. It was nice to see you again Darien, but I have to go," she softly stood and walked out of the glass doors. Sighing he put his head into the palms of his hands, that's how Andrew found him.
"she's an amazing girl, isn't she?" that snapped Darien's head snapped up.
"W-who? Serena? Uh..umm"he tried looking for an escape.
"Jesus, how long are you going to keep hiding under that shell of you\ours! Don't be stupid, Dare, listen to your heart, for once in your life!" the man never cahned, ever since the first time he met him, nine years back, he'd seemed to remain the same. Cold, distant and as bullheaded as the devil. But deep down he really did have a heart of gold, but it was shielded well, and, he thought, for good reason. Sighing Andrew wiped the spotless counter once more.
"hey, Andy, you know what's wrong with Serena?" Darien hesitantly questioned.
"you noticed too, huh?" he asked, rhetorically "she didn't tell me yet, but I'm trying to figure it out."
"Oh..thanks, anyway Drew," he answered, politely." I guess I'll see you later, bye."
"Bye Dare," he said sighing.
As Darien stepped out of the arcade, and into the chilled air of Tokyo. The soft wind blew his ebony hair, into a disarray. Closing his eyes he quietly listened to the wipers of the earth. He wished, wished truly and deeply that it had turned out differently. That when he met her again he would have helped her up instead of laughing, and god knew it hurt to now that she was in pain, and yet resisted to share it with him. Yet he still hoped that they could form some sort of bond. But as another breeze passed by him, that small light of hope seemed to dim, and become a flickering flame. Sighing once more, he let his feet carry him. He couldn't change the past, now could he?
