"You said it was just the 'usual crowdiness!'" Darien yelled at Andrew, frustrated at his new job as waiter. There were kids tugging at him trying to give their order, people yelling at him for getting the orders mixed up and there was this one very agitated customer who has been asking for the check for 15 minutes already.
"Check please!" The customer yelled again. Darien couldn't take it anymore. This job was so stressful! How does Andrew deal with this? Darien cast a glance at Andrew and gritted his teeth. Andrew was just calmly sitting behind the counter talking to a very pretty girl while wiping the counter. 'What the hell!' Darien thought, he was working his ass off and Andrew was flirting with some girl?! It was bad enough that there was only 4 people running this damn place, but what made it even worst was that the other girl, whose name's Serena, hasn't even been to work the whole two days he has been there. Darien saw the schedule it said that she was supposed to be here. If Liz, Andrew's sister, could be here and working the grill on time why can't Serena?!
"Check Please!" The costumer called once again. Something snapped inside Darien. With inhuman like speed he was in the customers face in a second.
"GOD DAMNIT WILL YOU WAIT!?" Darien yelled loudly. All of a sudden the arcade became silent as the noisy crowd shut their mouths. The only thing you could hear was sounds from the arcade games and the customer's loud breathing. The customer that Darien just yelled at was a 300 pound man with a bald head, long beard, tattoos on his arms and he even had some tattoos on his shiny Mr. Clean head. The big customer slowly stood up and looked down at Darien. Darien audibly gulped as the big bald man stared at him with a look that practically screamed 'you're so dead'. "Look sir I am so sorry....." Darien shut his mouth seeing that the man probably wouldn't care about how stressful the job was.
"No you look boy! I've been asking for that check for 15 minutes already. And you're the one yelling at me? Somebody should teach you a lesson and the perfect person to teach it to you would be me," The man cracked his knuckles, "you're about to feel a life times worth of pain in just a matter of minutes." The man swung his fist at Darien, but Darien ducked before the man can touch him.
"Look I'm really sorry for what I did really, just stop it!" Darien pleaded with the man, but Darien couldn't get through to him. The man grabbed Darien's collar and pulled his fist back, getting ready to pummel Darien, but before he could do that Darien pulled his way out of the man's strong hold. He also managed to grab the man's arm and twisted it in away it would break if only Darien just put a little more pressure on it. The man started scream in pain and tried to get his arm out of Darien's strong hold. "I told you to stop, but did you? No, you didn't. And for what you said earlier, the pain that you tried to inflict on me will never amount to the pain that I have already suffered." Darien whispered this to the man and tightened his hold on the man's arm. This movement made the man scream even louder then before.
"STOP IT!" Darien finally realized what he was about to do and immediately let go of the man's arm. He turned to the person who yelled that. It was a young petite blond woman probably around 14-years-old. The girl ran over to the big man who was on one knee holding his arm with the other. "Are you okay Mikey?" the young woman said to the big man. She angrily looked up at Darien, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"I...I'm so sorry." Darien whispered softly not looking into the girl's eyes, afraid to find what was there. He looked around and saw all the wide eyes and opened mouths of the children. He looked at Andrew and found out that he too was surprised at his actions. Darien took a step back then another then when he finally couldn't stand the staring anymore he bolted into the backroom to contemplate on what he had just done. ~~@@~~
Once Darien was inside the backroom he silently cursed at himself for his stupid behavior. He brushed his hands through his hair then suddenly pulled at it, he was so frustrated. 'I can't believe I just did that,' He thought. He sat down on the couch that was in the room and held his head in his hands. He thought he was past all that by now. He thought that he was able to control his temper, but now he wasn't so sure. He had been so close to breaking that man's arm and he would have if it weren't for that girl. He thought back to the girl that stopped him. If it weren't for her what else would he have done? In front of all those people too! How could he have been so reckless and so fucking stupid!
~~@@~~
"Okay peoples nothing to see here!" Andrew said as he helped up Mikey," Jeez I've always wanted to say that. Hey Serena, go get an ice pack for Big Mike 'ere." Andrew looked down at Mikey's arm. There was going to be an awful bruise on that arm! 'How the hell did Darien do that?' Andrew thought to himself amazed at the fact that Darien could defend himself against a guy like Mikey.
"Wow Andrew, that new kid you got working here sure can take care of himself." Mikey groaned as he slowly got on his feet.
"Yea weird ain't it Mikey? I thought for sure you'd crush him, but man that guy can fight! You got your ass totally kicked" Andrew started to laugh but immediately stopped once Mikey started to give him the "death glare."
"Hey Andrew I still got one other arm left here." Mikey threatened. Andrew frightened gulped at first but then smirked," What are you smiling at?"
"Well you could try and kick my ass, but then I could just call Darien...." Andrew said still smirking.
"Why you little..." Big Mikey started to inch closer Andrew......
"Mikey!" Serena yelled frustratingly. "Haven't you learned your lesson already?"
"But Andrew started it!" Mikey complained.
"No buts Mikey! You almost got your arm broken today and you want to start ANOTHER fight?" Serena threw up her hands in mock frustration, "Kids these days!"
"Look whose talking short stuff." Mikey said messing up Serena's hair.
"Mikey!" Serena hit Mikey in the stomach, "I should have just let that guy go, probably teach YOU a lesson." Serena walked behind the counter preparing for her shift.
~~@@~~
Darien finally got up from the couch. "Okay all I have to do is apologize then everything would be okay." Darien said to himself. "I could do this I could do this I could do this." He chanted not sure if he really could do this. Maybe he should just pack up and leave; it was probably for the best. What was he thinking going to a place crowded with people when he couldn't even control his anger? He thought back on the promise he made to his mother. Back when he made it, he was so determined to keep it, but now he just didn't know. 'Aw well' he thought, 'it's not like I actually broke his arm anyway. He's a big guy he could handle it.' Darien tried to reassure himself as he walked out of the back room, but right when Darien stepped out he bumped into something soft. When he looked down he got caught in the most amazing blue eyes he's ever seen. It seemed so much like the eyes he saw every time he looked into the mirror. The only thing different was that these eyes had something special in them that made it extra beautiful. He couldn't take his eyes off of them; he couldn't even see the rest of her face, just those eyes......
Serena blushed when she bumped into Darien. She was about to go in there and tell him off for almost breaking her friend's arm, but right when she was about to open the door it opened by itself. And now she was in some kind of weird staring contest with him. Serena was uncomfortable with him staring at her like that. No one's ever paid that much attention to her before and now that someone finally is, it was freaking her out big time. For some reason she was never one to look into peoples eyes. Neither did she like it when people stared at her own. She didn't know why. She was always uncomfortable with it, except when it came to her mother of course. She guessed it was because she was afraid of what people might find in them. Afraid that they would reveal her true self, she wasn't the strong woman she presented to the world, she was just a child. Pain lingered there in her eyes, and that was what she wanted to hide the most. She didn't want to burden people with her problems. She was also very embarrassed, embarrassed that she wasn't living in some perfect Brady Bunch family like everyone else did. And that the one person that should be the one protecting her from pain is actually the one that caused it.
"Um excuse me...?" Serena said trying to get him to stop staring. "Um...Hello is anybody in there?" By now Serena was waving her hands in the air but that didn't' work. "Hey!" Now that did it. Serena giggled as Darien jumped in surprise. "I was beginning to think that you were just some mindless zombie or something"
"Mindless maybe, but I'm no zombie that's for sure," Darien finally saw who the eyes belonged to and was surprised that it was the girl from earlier.
"You pulled quite a show out there. All the kids are talking about how you're some kind of super hero." Serena smiled when Darien blushed.
"I'm no superhero, more like a villain to tell you the truth. I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't want to do that, it just happened. I tried to stop myself honest."
"Eh don't worry about it Mikey's a big guy and you were just trying to protect yourself."
Darien shuddered at those words. He heard them so many times before. Never convinced him once before that what he did was okay. Darien smiled at her anyway and pretended he agreed. "My name is Darien by the way."
"My name is Serena, nice to meet you"
Darien looked at her amazed she was Serena? 'Maybe working here wouldn't be as bad as I thought' Darien thought while shaking Serena's hands.
