Chapter 7 – Remembering the past, Remembering Darien
Hiya people I'm gonna try and make my chapters much longer k!! Thank you so much to the wonderful people who review my stories you're all fabulicious!! But hey back to the story!!
Previously on Just put on your dancin shoes:
"Okay, what shall we do now, I had lunch while I was waiting for my turn to dance!" I said to Enrique.
"Same here... hmm... I KNOW, come on follow me..."
..............................................................................
"Enrique where are you taking me?" I yelled as I tried to catch up with him.
"It's a surprise, but I know you'll love it!" He yelled back, dodging people on the sidewalk!
"But..."
"No buts Serena, just trust me okay, I know I haven't known you for long... at all, but this just feels right, do you feel the same way?"
Oh, wow, this was getting way cool! But it started to remind me of all the good times I had with Darien, but I guess I had to move on, and this was my chance!
"Of course I feel the same way, in fact I trust you completely, with all my heart, so lets go!" I replied my smile beaming!
"Okay, follow me!"
Again, we started running along the sidewalks of New York City! But I still didn't know where we were going!
We finally stopped outside an old, run down building, huh? "Where are we?" I asked, this better not have been my great surprise!
"I know, I know, it doesn't look that nice on the outside, but please, just come with me!" Pleaded Enrique, as he looked at me with puppy dog eyes! Hey, I thought I was the only one that could do that!
"Fine, but this had better be good!" I replied following him inside.
As soon as we got through the door, I gasped, it was amazing. It was a ballroom, the ceiling was decorated with pictures of angels in heaven, and there were fountains at every corner! Suddenly, the most beautiful music I had ever heard started playing!
"Enrique I... I don't know what to say, it's, it's beautiful!" I gasped, still dumb founded by the sight around me!
"I know isn't it! It used to be used all the time, until clubs same into the picture! It's where my Mother and Father first met, when they were both on vacation over here! I always come here, it makes me happy, and now I want to share that happiness with you, Serena!"
Oh my god was that not the most beautiful thing I had ever heard, apart from the song by Christina Aguilera hehe! I can't believe how perfect Enrique is!!
"Wow!" I replied, still in utter shock!
"Would you like to dance milady?" Offered Enrique, oh, only Darien had said that to me before, and being reminded of him, well, it hurt like hell! A tear rolled down my cheek! Great, I'm in a perfect place with a perfect guy and all I can think about is Darien, and now I'm crying, and oh my god!
"Serena what's wrong was it something I said?" Asked Enrique, I could hear the worry in his voice he was such a sweet heart!!
"No, it's not something you said, it's got nothing to do with you! I'm sorry, it's me, it's just this whole thing reminded of me of someone back home that I'd rather forget!" I cried, as I started bawling!
"Oh Serena, come here, talk to me, talk about it!" Comforted Enrique.
Boy this guy really knew the way to a girls heart!!
"I don't really want to talk about it Enrique! It hurts to much!" I cried, more and more tears streaming down my face, by now I probably looked like a Panda, I knew I should have worn waterproof mascara!!
"But if you talk about it, it will make it less painful, trust me, I've been through a painful break up recently as well, and I kept it all bottled inside, for a long time, too long! But then when I talked about it with a good friend, it became less painful, and made me feel so much better about myself!"
"Really?" He sure knew his stuff!
"Really really! Know come on talk to me!" Said Enrique as he put his arm round my shoulder and led me to a bench, "Just tell me what you're feeling!"
I paused, Oh what the heck, if he says it will make me feel better!
"I was in love with Darien, deeply, madly in love with him! He was my prince, I was his princess, and we were destined to be together! We had been together for two years, we did everything together! But then a couple of months ago, on the way to meet up with my best friends, I walked past my old dance school! I decided to go in and see how everyone was! And I met an old friend there, so to celebrate us meeting again, and me getting into the N.Y.D.A, we went to get a milkshake at the local arcade, where me, Darien and all our friends usually hang out! But on the way, Alex the old friend and I were holding hands and running, it was just because you know we were so excited about seeing each other! But Darien took it the wrong way! He thought I was cheating on him, so he dumped me in front of every one in the arcade, then when I tried to explain he wouldn't listen and just pushed me away! And I'm sorry, but that whole ballroom dancing thing just reminded me of him! We used to do that all the time, it brought back a lot of memories, that I'm trying to forget! I really thought I was starting to get over him, but every time I see couples, people that look like him, or even simple things like dancing, I see him, I see his face, and it makes me realise how much I miss him!" By the time I had finished this I could hardly speak I was crying so much!
Why? Why did he have this affect on me? I think I know the answer to that one! He was my one true love, I loved him even more than I had loved Alex when we were going out! And me and Alex were huge! But all I wanted to do is forget Darien!
"Oh Serena, I know this is really hard, and you just wanna rub him out, make him not exist! But you can't do that, because you loved him, with all your heart! But think of it like this, you can still remember him, but just the good times you shared, think of it as experience!" Suggested Enrique as he looked deep into my eyes, and gave me a gigantic smile!
"But I can't forget the break up, it was so horrible, and I left on such a bad note I..."
"Serena, take my advice, you can cry all you want, but that wont get you anywhere, you need to remember the good times, wear a smile everyday! You don't want other guys to think you're a miserable old cow do you?"
That got a laugh out of me! I could see it now, all guys beware, Serena the super moody, miserable moo coming this way! Enrique was right, even if I did feel down, I could focus on the better things in life!
"Thanks Enrique, but, how am I gonna do all this if no guys wanna go out with me, I mean come on, I been in the city for seven weeks, and no one has even taken a second glance at me, it's hopeless!" Oh no here came the water works, again!
"Well, I know one guy who likes you, a lot!" He replied. "Oh yeah and who's that?" I asked staring at him.
"Me!" He said, as he leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! This was not happening, that kiss, it was amazing, but, it made me remember some one again...
... Darien!
In Tokyo Darien's p.o.v
I hadn't slept in days, I keep seeing her, seeing her face! Her beautiful face! I can't believe how idiotic I've been, just letting her go over one BIG misunderstanding! I was so confused at the time, I didn't even give her a chance!
Ring Ring
I picked up the phone.
"hello who is it?"
"Hey Dare, it's Andrew!"
"Oh hey buddy how are you?"
"Oh, I'm fine, but how are you, I haven't seen you for quite some time now and I was getting worried!"
"Yeah, I'm feeling pretty depressed right now!"
"Look if there's anything I can do, anything, you tell me ok!"
"Thanks Drew, but I'm ok on my own at the moment, I might come to Crown tomorrow, depends how I feel!"
"Ok, well, I gotta go, but promise me you'll call if you need anything, I'll always be a phone call away!"
"Thanks, it means a lot to me, bye Drew!"
"Bye Darien, take care!"
With that I hung up! I was so lucky to have a friend like Andrew, without him I'd probably die of depression hehe!
Anyway, I was still looking for her, Serena. I was calling all over New York it was costing me a fortune, but hey I'd do anything for her, I just hope she feels the same way...
