Chapter 4 – mix up!!
I led Alex into the Arcade, it was pretty empty so we walked up to the counter to get a milkshake.
"Hey Andrew, how's it goin?!" I asked as we approached.
"Hey Serena! I'm fine you?" Said Andrew, not even looking up from the counter he was wiping down.
"I'm fantastic! I got an acceptance letter for college today!"
"Oh my gosh really congra..." Andrew paused and gave Alex a funny look, it probably didn't help that Alex was still holding my hand!
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Andrew this is Alex, he's an old friend of mine!" I said for Alex, who just looked at Andrew and smiled.
"Sure he is!" Replied Andrew looking Alex up and down, "looks like more than that to me!" He said as he pointed at our hands!
I was just about to pull my hand away from Alex when, "Serena, what the hell are you doing, and who the hell is this?"
Oh great it was Darien, this definitely didn't look good!
"Darien, hi honey! This is..." I tried to explain but he interrupted me!
"Don't you Hi honey me! I saw you two together, you looked pretty close! Have a nice life with your new boyfriend Serena, we're through!" And with that he stormed out of the arcade!
"Darien wait!" I shouted as I tried to run after him! But something stopped me, ok, someone stopped me, it was Alex. By this point I was in tears!
"Serena, who was that?" He asked calmly!
"My boyfriend!" I replied! Oh my god!!
"What? You have a boyfriend?" He asked sounding kinda upset!
"Well not anymore!" Said Andrew sarcastically, I could tell he didn't like Alex. "Andrew..." I said warningly.
"Hey, this is none of your business buddy!" Shouted Alex as he walked over to Andrew.
"Alex..." Not him too!
"None of my business? NONE OF MY BUSINESS? You Just broke up my best friends, don't you tell me it's none of my business!" Andrew Screamed. Uh Oh! This didn't look good!
"Yeah well, it wasn't my fault, that idiot didn't give her a chance to explain!" Alex shouted back! Oh no, he didn't, Alex just insulted My Muffin! This was gonna get ugly!
"ENOUGH!" I screamed, "Andrew, it wasn't Alex's fault, we're nothing more than friends I promise, and Alex, if you say one more word about Darien I will kick your ass you get me?" I looked both the boys straight in the eye.
"Well?" I asked.
"Sorry Serena!" They both replied at the same time!
"Right, I forgive you! But right now I need to get to Darien, if I do get him back, I'm gonna have to spend all the time I have left with him! Alex it was wonderful seeing you again, here's my cell number.." I said as I wrote my number on the back of his hand! "Andrew, can you call Darien, and tell him I'm not lying, and that me and Alex are just friends, I'm going to his apartment okay! Bye both of you!"
And with that I ran out of the arcade.
Darien's p.o.v
I can't believe this, how could she do this to me? I thought she loved me! Why do I always get hurt? Oh my god why? Why me? She told me she would never leave me, never love anyone else, this hurts so much! She was holding his hand, she looked happier than I've ever seen her, am I not enough? Am I not good enough? Someone help me, what the hell should I do?
Ring Ring
Should I answer that? It might be her, I don't think I can face her right now! But it might not be... Oh what the heck... "Hello?" I answered.
I was relieved when I heard Andrew's voice over the other end!
"Hi Darien, um how are you?"
What kind of a question was that? He saw the whole thing!
"Guess!" I replied sarcastically. I'd just had my heart broken, and all he was asking was how was I!
"Look Dare, I saw what happened today, and I just wanted to say that, well, maybe you should give Serena a chance, she wanted to tell you, that the guy, was just an old friend nothing more! Trust me, if he was something more I would have beaten the crap out of him, you know how much Serena loves you! She'd never betray you!" Wow what a speech, he almost made me believe him!
"I'm sorry Andrew, but I don't think I can believe you, you don't know how much pain I'm goin through right now, so I think I just wanna be left alone, but thanks for calling anyway!" And with that I hung up, I bet Serena got him to say that! I just can't believe this is happening to me!
Knock Knock
Oh great I bet that's her, oh well I guess I should just get it over with!
I opened the door, and there she stood, she looked upset! I don't know why!
"Darien please let me explain!" She pleaded as she grabbed my shirt!
I pushed her away! "Serena there isn't anything to explain, I saw you and him together, you were holding hands and you looked so happy! Why?" Tears fell from my eyes, this was probably the first time I had cried since I had those dreams!
"Just listen to me! Alex is just a friend nothing more, you can even ask Andrew..."
I interrupted her, "HA I knew it, you tricked Andrew into calling me didn't you!" I was so angry, but hurt at the same time, I also wanted to kill this Alex guy, how dare he take my Princess away from me! "NO! Andrew was telling the truth! Alex is an old friend, I've known him since I was five years old!" She said softly.
"Oh that helps, Serena, I've known you for over 1000 years!" I screamed this was getting harder and harder!
"I know, Darien just listen to me there's a lot you don't know about me! A LOT! I had a life before I found out I was Sailor Moon I know!" She was getting angry!
"So did I! Do you know how hard my life was before you came along! You made it better, and now you've thrown it all away!" I shouted back at her.
"God, how many times are people gonna say that to me today?" Serena huffed.
"What?" Now she was confusing me!
"Darien, please, just let me explain who Alex is, I'll tell you how we met, and everything! Please!" She looked pretty desperate, I guess it wouldn't hurt to hear her out!
"Fine!" I huffed and walked in and sat down on the couch.
She closed the door and followed, then sat down next to me. She took my hands in hers.
"Darien, when I was five years old, I took up Ballet at a local Dance school called Miss Belles. I instantly fell in love with it! That's where I met Alex, ever since he joined when I was seven, we were dance partners, we'd dance in shows, go to auditions and we got many trophies and medals for our efforts! When I was eleven I was told I had the potential to be the best there ever was, an amazing dancer! I was so happy, because it had been my dream since I had started there! But sadly when I was fourteen something forced me to give up my dream, you know what that something was Darien, it was Sailor Moon! Ever since the day I walked out of that ballet school for the last time, I've never been completely happy, it was like a part of me was missing! But yesterday, Amy told us there weren't going to be any more enemies! So this Morning I was walking past Miss Belles ballet school and I decide to go in! That's where I met Alex, when you saw me I looked so happy because, I felt like I was finally complete again! And I was also happy because I got an acceptance letter this morning!" Oh my god, how come she never told me any of this!
"What?" She got an acceptance letter? I didn't know she had applied anywhere!
"I'm going to New York Darien, to the New York Dance Academy, that's the other reason I was with Alex, he was taking me out to celebrate!" She stopped, I guess that was the end of her story. But I had one last question!
"Were you and Alex ever more than friends?" I asked.
"That doesn't matter, all that matters is what I feel now!"
"Answer the question Serena!"
"Fine, yes, we used to go out, but that doesn't matter now!"
"For how long!"
"Darien..."
"For how long?"
"Two years but trust me Darien, I only think of him as a friend now!"
"I'm sorry, Serena, but I don't think I can get over this yet, I don't think we can get back together yet, I'm sorry!" This was too hard!
"Fine, be that way, but this means there never will be us again! I'm going to New York in two months Darien, Good bye, Forever!"
I led Alex into the Arcade, it was pretty empty so we walked up to the counter to get a milkshake.
"Hey Andrew, how's it goin?!" I asked as we approached.
"Hey Serena! I'm fine you?" Said Andrew, not even looking up from the counter he was wiping down.
