Serena set quietly down on the couch as Amy held, which felt incredibly funny because Amy never really tried to act like her mother before. Lita nodded her head the whole time, as if to agree all along but not really know whats goin on (if you know what I mean). "I... I just don't understand." Serena went over the scenario at least 8 times, trying her best to see where she went wrong. "I always helped him when he needed it, and.. and.. I'm always there when he's hurt or depressed. I know I'm young, and I cant do everything, but..." "It wasn't you're fault Serena.." Amy said softly, as if Serena had started crying again. But Serena stopped crying a while ago. She felt there was no longer a reason to cry. She couldn't feel anything. Her heart when numb. He used her, and when he seen no more purpose for her he tossed her on for one of her closest friends. She never look at him the same. Wished to never have to see him again. But she longed for him...
~*Oh how she longed for him*~
She wanted him to cuddle her, and tell her what she had.. what she saw, was a bad dream. That he didn't need anyone else in his life. That the one he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, was her. The whole future Serena made up in her head for her and Darien was now shattered.. No purposing... No fancy house.. No beautiful children...
Serena snapped out of her thoughts as she heard Lita speak, which was actually the first time since she told the whole story. "Raye had no right to do what she did. She turned against her bestfriend... just for a man. That was definitely betrayal. But don't forget Darien played part in this too. One attracted the other, and in the end they were both guilty. That makes them both bastards." Serena kept her head down. Lita hesitated for a minute, but continued her conversation. "...And I hate to admit it, Serena, but you took part in this too." Serena's head suddenly popped up. "And what the FUCK does any of this has to do with me? What did I do to deserve this?!" she was already stressed, and completely confused, but having Lita accuse her of this whole situation really pissed her off. "Well..." Lita sound edgy, "Raye was obsessed with this guy at least months before you even started noticing him. An obsession is hard to get over, and who knows, Raye could have felt it was unfair that you got what she craved for so long." "So let me get this straight," Serena was now at Lita dead in her face, so she could see just how serious Serena was. "The whole time I was with Darien, she was still... inlove with him?" "Somewhat..." "Lita... whose side are you on, anyway?" Lita hesitated once more "Well... nobody's. You're both my friends, and I can't turn my back on either one of you. If I were in you're shoes, I'd have a good damn reason for quitting on Raye, but I'm not.. and real friends to choose sides." "I don't want to hear that American dream bullshit right now!!" Serena stood up "REAL friends!! If Raye was a REAL friend, than I bet she wouldn't be fucking my boyfriend, now would she?! I learned a thing or two about real friends today, and you know what I found?! That they're FULL OF SHIT!!!" Serena walked to the door. Lita ran after her "Serena! Common, I was only trying to give advice!" "How long did you know this was going on?!" Lita looked blankly at Serena, and then to Amy, who looked at her in surprise. "I KNOW you knew about Lita." Serena clenched through her teeth. "You never WAS good at hiding things. So tell me, when did you find out, and how long have you been keeping it from me?" Lita held the blank look for as long as she could, before speaking again. "Serena, I.... She told me something around the end of last month and the beginning of this month. I was mad at her too. I really was, Serena. But if you could only have heard how dedicated she was.. How she sounded like he was the highlight of her life. She said it was like she was truley noticed by him, and that was the only thing she wanted in the whole world. I hated her for what she did, for what she's doing, but... at the same time, I betray her as a friend and stand in the way of her desires." "Yeah." Serena whispered, inferring that she was about to cry, "because you betrayed me." And she walked out the door.
Serena was so depressed that instead of taking the bus, she walked home. It was still daylight, and she really didn't wanna go home, but there was nowhere else to go. Ina went out of town with her parents, where as Molly and Melvin where spending some "alone" time, somewhere in Tokyo. But who cared. No one, that's who. Everywhere she turned she found something else out new, and none of it was good.
On the way in, Serena walked pass her concerned mother, who was waiting for her patiently downstairs. "Serena, where have you been? It's almost 8:30, and your dinners waiting for you on the..." She looked at her daughter, and could tell she had a bad day (mothers have that intuition, all girls know that.). "Serena!" Serena's father stormed out of the living room. "Ms. Haruna called! Why were you skipping detention--!" Mrs. Tsukino, stopped her husband. "Ralph, please. Leave her alone until tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be in better shape then." "But she looks fine to me--" "Take my advice," She put a finger on Mr. Tsukino's lips. "Let her be until tomorrow."
The blonde avoided combing out her hair. She didn't bother to bathe, nor did she bother to put on her PJ's. She just flopped on her bed, looked up at the ceiling, and silently cried her self to sleep.***

"Common Dare!! Why are you always so late?" Andrew laid over the counter, looking both jokingly and irritatingly at him. "I have a date tonight, and I don't intend to have to have her meet me here." "I was a little busy, that's all." Darien threw on his smock, and opened the entrance. "Yeah, right. Like you ever have anything to do." Andrew laughed before throwing his smock off. "I'm gonna go change. My clothes are in the car. You or Silver can close up." A silver (or rather white) hair colored guy bustled from the back, carrying trays to put out. Behind his rimmed glasses were pearl blue eyes. He was one year less than Darien, and had only started working there about a week. "Hey Darien, what took you so long?" Darien gave the same reply he did to Andrew "Busy." "Sure. Heard you been chasin teenagers." Silver put a big smile on his face. "Isn't it time for some real women?" Darien laughed at him "You have you're picks, and I have mine." "You'd never catch me messin with Teens when I hit the big two zero. There ain't gonna be any 'I gotta be home by 8's, or 'I have to go to school.'s. For me, Its gonna be legal." "You'd be surprised what young girls know these days." Darien conned. "Don't underestimate em. They can be worth a lot more than you think. A whole lot." Silver just smirked before he left, "Like you said Dare, you have you're picks, I have mine.**
