Chapter 2

Darien was frantically looking for his other shoe. He looked under the bed, but no where to be seen. Then re-checked the closet. Nope, not in there either. An image of where he put it last popped into his mind so he hurriedly ran to that spot, and while doing so tripped over many shoes that were left all over the floor. He banged up his knee pretty bad on that fall, and began laughing a bit. Soon enrupted with a huge laugh fit, and another memory of Serena filled his mind again.

Flashback--------

-------

Serena and Darien were laying in the grass together with him laying on her stomach. She was gently stroking his hair unnoticed as she looked into the night sky. All seemed perfect. They had each other, and nothing then and there could desturb their being together.

"Hey, you know that roommate I'm living with?" Serena asked after that moment of silence.

"How can I forget? 'Darien, when are you going to introduce me to Brad Pitt?' 'Darien, have you been a model long?' 'How many movie stars have you seen?' 'Darien, why do you want to be a doctor, when you could always be a soap opera actor?' 'Darien, why aren't you answering ME?!'" He imitating the bird like roomate of hers.

"Yeah, her!" She laughed exasperatedly , "I can't believe I'm saying this but she's really getting on my nerves."

"Serena, you've been living with her for about, what, a year, year and a half? I can believe that you could stand her for that long. I can't stand her for even five minutes!"

"DARIEN!" She giggled.

"Hey, it's true and don't be telling me it's not."

"She is somewhat annoying, but she's a good friend. I just can't stand another semester with her though." she sighed.

"I have an idea!" Darien said sitting up really fast. Unluckly his doing so caused him to lose his balance, and Darien was rolling down the hill leaving Serena in a fit of giggles. She ran down after him and jumped on his fallen figure.

"Owww!!! Serena!!" Darien winced.

"Aww poor baby!!" she mused, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I think so, but back to what I was saying back up there on the hill." After that fall he still didn't lose his excitement.

"What is it?" Serena asked shaking her head smiling.

"Why don't you move in with me? I mean, it's close to your college and all. It's okay if you don't want or anything. Just asking if you'd like to for convenience and all, but if you're totally against...." he said not trying to rush her into anything.

"Darien are you SERIOUS?" She exclaimed interrupting him.

"Well, yeah. If you don't want to, it's fine though. I don't to make a rush or something..."

"Are you KIDDING?!" Darien looked a little panicked. He really did want Serena to move in and if she said no..., "OF COURSE I WOULD!"

"Really?!" his eyes perked up.

"Yup, when do I move in? Can we start now?" Serena was really excited about this.

"Now?" Darien chuckled, "Just as long as there aren't that many questions being asked." Serena just stared at him and laughed along with him.

He got up ready to walk over to Serena's apartment, but his knee stopped him.

"What is it??" Serena asked concerned.

"My knee really hurts!" he admitted whole heartedly.

End of Flashback--------

And after that day it left him with one of the biggest bruises ever on his body, and also the best decision they had made.They learned things about each other that they never knew before. Like when Serena first found out that Darien snores but only once in a while. And Darien found out that she sleep walks sometimes, especially when she's hungry when sleeping. You could find her asleep going through the refrigerator. And when she's most tired she snores, addition to talking in her sleep and drooling. But most of the time, he noticed, she was most beautiful in her sleep for that was when she didn't feel anything besides the joys of her dreams, and no pains of the world. That was the thing he most hated, her in pain. But most of all, that was what he most feared.
