let's just go on with the story. Warning: This chapter has mentions of suicide. If you are bothered by that, pleaz don't read this.

Serena walked around in a daze all day. She just went to her classes, didn't pay attention, then walked out. Molly must have told their friends what happened because none of them would talk to her and Amy had a different lunch period. So at lunch, Serena sat by herself and ate.

She accidentally cut herself with her fork. She didn't notice she had done it until she felt blood on her arm. She looked down at it as if it was some foreign liquid. It felt...good. Serena knew cutting led to suicide, but right now she didn't really care.

She cut herself again, this time on her upper arm. It felt good. The bell rang, but Serena didn't really hear it. She stuck the fork in her back pack, put on her jacket to hide the fresh scars and went to class.

That was a couple weeks ago. Serena had grown farther and farther apart from everyone; her parents, Sammy, Amy, even Luna. The gleam in Serena's eyes was gone, replaced by darkness. Amy tried to get her out of the house, but Serena always made up some excuse not to go. She locked herself into her room and cut herself. She had started a diary.

"Dear Diary," she read out loud while writing. "Today, Amy tried to get me outside again. Don't they understand I want to be left alone? Sometimes I wish I could curl up and die. Maybe I should." Serena finished. That night, when her parents went out to dinner and Sammy went to a friend's house, she said to Luna. "Hey, Luna. Amy called. She wants to talk to you."

Luna looked up at her uncertainly "If she wanted to talk, she'd come here."

Serena thought fast. "She's studying and she can't leave. She says it very important," praying Luna would take the bait. To her relief, Luna nodded "OK. I'll be right back." she jumped outta the window. Serena shut the window and grabbed two pieces of paper. "I gotta make this fast. Luna's pretty fast."

Serena grabbed a pencil and wrote a letter to her family. It went like this;

Dear Mom, Dad and Sammy,
I love you all. I'm sorry I couldn't stay. Everything's wrong. Molly's hates me, this guy I thought liked me has a girlfriend, and I just can't do this anymore Good bye.
Love your sister/daughter, Serena.

The she wrote one to Amy and Luna;

Dear Amy and Luna,

You've guys have been the best. Luna, helping me through the whole Sailor Moon thing and Amy for just always being there. I'm sorry, but I just can't stay here. Amy, I know you can do this by yourself and Luna will always be with you. I love you both. Good bye.
Love your friend, Serena.

While Serena wrote these letters, Luna had reached Amy's. "Amy! What did you want?" she yelled up the window. Amy opened the window and stuck her head out, "What are you talking about?" she called down. "You wanted to tell me something." Luna cried, back up. "No, I didn't!" Amy yelled down. "But Serena said..." Luna stopped. They both realized what had happened and looked at each other. "We gotta get to her house!" Amy screamed, jumping down. They took off to Serena's house.

Serena was wondering whether to write a letter to Darien and Molly, when she heard some feet running up. She looked out the window and saw Amy and Luna. She knew if they read the letters when she was still there, they'd send her somewhere. So she grabbed her shoes and ran (her ankle had healed by now) downstairs. She ran outta the door and took off down the street.

Amy and Luna arrived a minute later. They ran up the stairs into Serena's room. "She's not here!" Luna exclaimed. Amy say the note and grabbed it. After reading it, she looked at Luna with worry in her eyes. "What?" Luna asked, worried.

"She's going to do it. She wrote us a letter saying good bye." Amy cried, her eyes tearing up. But she shook her head and said "Luna, we have to find her!" They ran out to door.

Serena had ran to the store about 10 blocks down the street. She ran in and bought all kinds of aspirin and pills. She paid for it and left. She knew she probably should run, but she stopped. She closed her eyes and walked. Nowhere in particular, but when Serena opened her eyes, she was at the park.

She sighed and sat down. She put her head in her hands and cried for the first time in weeks. She dropped all the pills and curled up on the bench. She cried for about 10 minutes. She stopped and wiped her eyes and saw a raven-haired girl walking towards her.

Amy and Luna were running all over town. They were so worried they were too late. Amy was running past the arcade. "Hey, Amy! What's wrong!?" Darien yelled at her. Amy stopped and turned around. The expression on her face was horrible. Red, teary, and worried.

Darien stopped joking around "Amy, what's wrong? Let's go sit down." he walked towards her. But Amy cried "I can't! I gotta find..." Amy stopped. She wasn't sure whether to tell Darien about Serena. But right now, she just wanted to find her. So she blurted out everything.

Darien's expression changed from worry, to confusion, back to worry. "We have to find her! I'll look in my car." he ran to his car, while Amy ran off to find Serena.

"You know suicide isn't the answer." the raven-haired girl told Serena. They had been sitting there for a couple of minutes. Serena had told her everything and the girl listened.

Serena nodded. "I know, but it just felt..." she ran off.

The girl nodded "Horrible? I know. I was just like you. My parents had just died and my boyfriend had cheated on me. I was ready to stab myself, when my best friend walked in and stopped me. She sent me to counseling. I hated her for doing that, but now I am so happy she did. I wouldn't be here if she didn't."

Serena just sat there, shocked that she had meet this girl. Suddenly, she heard Amy scream her name. "SERENA!" Amy ran to her, hugged her with all her heart, and let herself sob. Serena hugged her back and cried with her. The raven-haired girl smiled, got up and left.

Once they pulled apart, they were silent for a minute. "Thank you." Serena said.

"For what?" Amy asked, still drying her tears.

"For being there for me." Serena smiled. Amy smiled back. Then they heard "SERENA!" They looked up and saw Mrs. Tsukino running towards them. Serena got up and was almost knocked down by her mother.

"Oh, Serena! I was so scared!" she sobbed, hugging Serena. Her father and brother stood by and watched. When her mother let go, her father hugged her. Once he let go, Sammy stood for a moment, then hugged her. Serena was surprised. "Sammy?"

Sammy was sobbing. "I thought I lost my big sister!"

Serena patted his back to comfort him, while looking at Amy. Some police had arrived and let the family hug and cry. Once they were done, one police man walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Your parents were worried. We're happy you decided not to do it." he said.

Serena remembered the girl. She spun around and looked for her. But she was gone! She looked around, wishing she had stayed so Serena could have thanked her. She turned back to her parents, in confusion.

"How did you guys know I was gone?" Serena asked.

Her mother was still crying, so her father answered "A young man called and explained everything."

They said no names, but Serena knew it was Darien. And with that thought in her heart, she felt better. So what if he has a girlfriend? They can still be friends. She smiled for the first time in weeks.

Wow. That took a while. Sorry, I really got into it. OK, can anyone guess who the raven-haired girl is? (she says sarcastically) Pleaz RR
