Darien hadn't expected to see her look so hurt. He cleared his throat. "We have to talk." Serena laughed harshly. "Funny… About what? Oh I know! ABOUT HOW YOU FUCKED BERYL'S BRAINS OUT?! BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT!" Tears were spilling down her face now as Darien pulled her to him and embraced her tightly as Serena shook from her sobs and weakly hit him against his chest. He rested his head against her soft hair, the scent of strawberries engulfed him. "I'm sorry… I never meant to hurt you… I was drunk and I wasn't sure about what I was doing." Serena looked into his eyes, his eyes clouded in anguish. Serena nodded. "How about we go to Crown and talk about where we go from here?" Serena nodded and slipped on her sneakers on and closed the door behind them.
The girls arrived back at the apartment a short while later and looked around noticing Serena's keys were still there. Raye walked over to the answering machine and noticed she had 3 messages. Raye listened and skipped the 2 from Chad that she would get back to later, and then Serena's message came on. "Hey girls! I'm fine now…listen don't freak out…especially Raye and Lita… but I'm with Darien." Lita and Raye started making fists. "We're talking about where we are going from here… I'll be home soon to explain. I'll see you later bye!" The girls stood their mouths hanging open. Amy smiled "Well can't let this food go to waste, so let's set up a nice lunch for Serena." The girls nodded and began to start heading for the kitchen planning to cook and pig out.
Darien and Serena sat down at a booth by the window as Andrew walked over to the two. "Hey Andrew! I'll have a strawberry milk shake and a burger with fries." Andrew nodded and turned to Darien. "Hey Drew… I'll just have a coffee….black." Andrew nodded and walked back to get their orders. Darien turned to Serena, she was looking down at the table. Darien frowned and tucked his fingers under her chin and pushed her head up so her eyes are level with his. Serena was at a loss of words. Darien put his hand down and sighed. "Serena… we need to talk about where we are going from here." Serena nodded. "Well I still want to live at your apartment…. But maybe I'll stay in the guest room." Darien felt a pang in his heart. He nodded. "If that's what you want, then when your ready, you can come back to our room." Serena nodded a small smirk appeared in the corner of her mouth. "Alright… so we're together… but on a break." Darien nodded. I hate that fucking phrase "on a break" but what am I gonna do? Serena looked out the window. "On a break" how tragic… I'm in love with a guy who cheated on me last night…. God loves a bitch. Andrew arrived with their food and placed it in front of them, and mentioned about it being on the house before walking away. Darien and Serena finished eating and were now walking through the park silently. Darien took Serena's hand in his as they continued to walk until they reached the secluded part of the park. The lake was quiet and tranquil. Darien sat down and leaned against the tree. Serena stood there looking around. Darien grasped her hand again and pulled her down slowly so she was rested between his legs her head against his chest, smelling his familiar scent of rose a small tear slid down her cheek. Darien closed his eyes and stroked her head softly. They sat there for a while just in their own thoughts. Serena's stomach felt funny as she lept from his arms and ran a few feet away and emptied out her stomach behind a bush. Darien was behind her in a second soothing her and rubbed her back as her stomach settled again. As she got back up a light-headed feeling hit her and she fell back waiting to feel the ground but never did. Darien stood there holding her close to him a look of worry clouded his midnight blue eyes. "Are you okay?" Serena nodded. "It's from me having all those Sex on the Beaches and other junk I had at Lita's house." Darien nodded and they sat back down on the grass. Serena looked to Darien and saw the concern on his face. "Don't worry Darien…. I forgive you."
Serena was now on her way back to Raye's house, Darien and her had parted about 10 minutes ago. He had offered to drive her but she said she would rather walk. Serena was about a minute away from Raye's when a long ivory hand grasped her arm tightly and pulled her into the alleyway a sharp icy voice came from the shadows as the vindictive redhead appeared. "Hello Serena."
