Chapter Three- A Broken Heart and a Changed Life
(New Year's Day, and the Dance)
"Darien!" Serena screamed, banging on his apartment door, "Darien, open the door." The door opened.
Serena immediately fell into his arms, she broke down crying; Darien said nothing, he just hugged her as tight as he could without crushing her.
After she calmed down a little, Darien walked her into his apartment. They both sat down on the couch, Serena just let her head rest on his chest; tears silently coming down her face.
"Why are you leaving?" She whispered, barley able to talk with all these emotions clouding her mind.
"I have to go to some classes there, so I can get my doctors degree." He answered back holding her as close as he can to his body; molding them together.
"Do you have to go?" She asked a pleading note in her voice.
Darien didn't say anything; then he felt anger rise within him, much like when he yelled at Andrew.
"Do you even know what I go through everyday?!?" He said to her; somehow, Serena could feel the anger surging through him.
"Serena, I have no family. I wake up by myself, go to work by myself, then come home to an empty apartment; every single day I might add." Darien calmed down while he was talking to her, "Serena, ever since you've been my girlfriend, all that loneliness disappeared. And now, I have to go to America, and leave you behind, and I don't want to do that..."
"Oh, Darien......" She answered to his speech, "I never knew you felt that way..." "That was why I hid my feelings for you, I was afraid of being hurt..."
Their eyes connected and Darien inched closer to Serena; who dared not to move and ruin the moment.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you like that I—"
Serena placed her pointer finger over Darien's lips, "I understand exactly how you feel; even with a family, things are still hard for me too."
Serena removed her finger, but Darien didn't speak; he finally had someone to share his feelings with, someone who would listen to him. Darien pulled her close to his body again, and hugged her gently.
They sat there for a minute, blue clashing with blue; love joining with love; mind connecting with mind.
"Hey Darien?" Serena asked; their eyes still connected.
"Hmm?" Darien replied; it was obvious that he wasn't paying attention. (AN: Just like guys...)
"I Love You."
Darien smiled; which made Serena's heart melt. "I Love You Too, Meatball Head." Serena rolled her eyes; You think he'd drop the nickname... She thought.
After a few more exchange in compliments, Darien shared his painful past with Serena, and then promised that he would apologize to Andrew at the Dance tonight.
At about 4:00 in the afternoon, Serena was saying goodbye to Darien so she could get ready for the New Year's Dance.
"I'll pick you up at about 6:30, okay?"
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
"Thanks for listening to me today; I really needed to tell someone."
"No Problem."
Then Darien descended his head and touched Serena's lips with his own.
After they kissed, Serena walked home and opened the door to her room. She rummaged through her closet and found the perfect dress for this evening. The dress was dark blue, it didn't have sleeves and the dress reached all the way down to her ankles. The dress had a v-neck and was slightly flared at the bottom.
Serena took a shower before she slipped the dress on.
After she had slipped the dress on, her mother knocked on the door. "Come in." Serena called.
"Serena, honey, you look absolutely wonderful!"
"Thanks Mom!"
Irene helped Serena with her hair, which were back up in her buns when she was done. Fake dark blue flowers were tied around her pigtails; her golden locks were in braids.
About 15 minutes later, the doorbell rang and Kenji opens the door to find a very handsome Darien in a Tuxedo, with a bouquet of Red and White Roses in his hands. Kenji shot him a warning look and motioned his head upstairs.
Darien was surprised at this gesture, he wanted Darien to take care of his little girl; he smiled.
Just then, Serena came down the stairs. Darien's laughter melted off his face in a stunned reaction. In his eyes, Serena was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Kenji rolled his eyes at the two.
After saying their goodbyes, Serena and Darien walked out to his car and Darien opened the car door for her, Serena smiled and got in.
After they were on the road, Serena got a good chance to look at him; her eyes widened. Darien fit his Tuxedo perfectly, his dark bangs were falling adorably over his deep midnight blue ocean eyes; and he'd look over at her every once in a while, trying to look at her while trying to drive.
Serena blushed and looked to one side, Gosh, I wish he would stop looking at me, She thought, I wear he knows all of my weak spots...
Serena was relived when they made it to the school; Darien took her hand to help her get out of the car. Serena wondered if she was going to experience this side of Darien more often.
Once they walked in, many heads turned around to see them, they made a great couple. Once a slow song started, Darien took her out to the dance floor.
Serena breathed out a sigh and rested her head on Darien's chest; anybody could tell that they were madly in love with each other.
"Hey, Serena!" Mina's voice came from behind them, "I saw you and Darien come in, so I thought I'd come and see you!"
"Are you ready to tell us who your date is?"
"Well...."
Just then, a boy with sandy blond hair walked up to Mina and handed her a drink. Serena saw Darien's eyes lit up with recognition.
"Hey Anthony, how's it going?" Darien said, reaching out to shake his hand. "Nothing much." Anthony said back.
After meeting with the rest of the girls and their guys, Serena spotted Andrew setting in a chair by a corner. She nudged Darien and then motioned over to Andrew. Darien gave her a do-I-have-to look and sighed. Serena nodded and pushed him over to Andrew.
"Uh, Hi Andrew." Darien said, trying to make a conversation. Andrew just grunted.
"Look, I'll just make this quick. I'm sorry that I yelled at you a day before yesterday, I was just upset about the trip tomorrow." Andrew grunted again.
Darien was starting to get angry with him again.
"If you don't want to talk, fine! But you'll be sorry when I go away for a month and you won't see me!" Darien turned around and started to walk away, but Andrew's voice stopped him. "No Dare, it was my fault."
Darien turned back around.
"No Andrew it's my fault, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that." Both of them stopped and started laughing.
Serena watched as she sat with her friends, everything was going to be all right.
The DJ put on another slow song and Darien walked back over to Serena.
"May I have this dance?" He asked.
Serena blushed but took his hand; yes, a dance to remember.
"Darien," Serena whispered, "Do you really have to go?"
Darien knew exactly what she was talking about. "Yes."
They stopped talking and Darien kissed her forehead. He didn't ever want to leave her.
Suddenly, the music stopped, and the DJ announced, "It's time to count down to midnight!"
As every second passed, Serena knew her life would change forever. 10... 9... 8... Serena felt her eyes fill with tears as Darien laced their hands together. One tear escaped. 7... 6... 5... Darien looked at her and brushed away her tears, it pained him to see her hurt in any kind of way. 4... 3... 2... Darien pulled her closer to him; he could feel her tears soak through his shirt. 1... Serena pulled away from Darien, and ran; ran as fast as her legs could carry her. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everybody's voice ripped through Serena's heart, she'll never be the same again. "Serena, wait!" Darien's voice called out to her, but she didn't stop, "WAIT!!!" He ran after her. Her legs carried her to the park, where she tripped and fell, but Darien caught her. He pulled her as close as he could to his body. "Hey Serena, don't cry." His voice was soothing. They stayed there until Darien had dried all of her tears, reluctantly; Darien had to take her home. After the drive to Serena's house, Darien walked her to her door. He put a note in her hand. "Don't open it until you're safe inside your room." Serena nodded. "Goodnight, my Princess." "Goodnight, Darien." They kissed, and then Darien walked back to his car, and drove off. After showering, changing, and in her room, Serena opened the note that Darien gave her: Hey Sere,
I'll pick you up around 8:30 tomorrow to go to the airport. Sweet dreams and I hope that you feel better about all of this.
Always and Forever,
Darien
Serena refolded the note and stuck it into her dresser drawer. She turned off her bedroom light and lay down on her bed. Darien, She thought, Why do you have to leave me? She cried into the night...
