Chapter 7: In the hospital
Thanx for the reviews!!!! Lol! They all seemed to have the same feeling towards them! This chapter will make things brighter, don't worry! Enjoy! And I still don't own anything!
~*~*~*~*
"Full name?" The doctor asked Serena's parents as they stood there in the hospital room, Mrs. Taylor crying.
"Serenity Usagi Taylor." Mina replied for her aunt, noting that she wasn't going to finish. After the doctor gathered more information, she shooed Serena's friends out of the room, saying that only family was allowed in at the moment.
"Wait, doctor, can I please stay in?" Darien asked, looking at the doctor.
"I'm sorry son, but I can only let family in for now. You can see your friend later." She said to him.
"But I love her." Darien said. Amy approached him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Darien, my mom needs to deal with Serena's family first. She'll get to us." Amy pulled him away, her mother giving her a sad look. Mrs. Mizuno walked back into the room and shut the door.
"Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Taylor, I don't think there is much hope for your daughter surviving. Though it was only a fall accident, she had hit her head pretty hard and lost a large amount of blood and she is also suffering for many more injuries from in impact with the ground." She said, looking over at the three members of Serena's immediate family. Rini's lip quivered for a moment before she broke out crying, crying against father's leg as she sat in a chair, her stepmother and father standing beside her.
"And the boy?" Mr. Taylor asked.
"He's alright, he didn't suffer to much. He was only bucked off the bike and thrown into the road. All he has is a few broken ribs and that's basically it. He's not suffering and will be out of here soon." Dr. Mizuno said, looking over the paper on Seiya.
"Well then I'll make him suffer!" Mr. Taylor said, standing up. Rini pushed her father down and shook her head.
"Don't dad. I'm sure that his parent's will take care of that." Rini said, putting a hand on his. Rini looked over at her half sister and then turned away.
"I'm going to inform my daughter and her friends of this information. I'll give you guys a few minutes alone with her while I tell them." Mrs. Mizuno left the room and closed the door behind her. Right away, Ilene ran to her daughter, taking her daughter's fragile and pale hand in her own, falling to her knees on the floor and crying.
"Oh Serena! My sweet child! Why did this happen to you!? You were always so safe and precocious and now you're dying. Why did this have to happen to my poor baby?" Rini approached her and knelt down, placing an arm on her shoulder. Ilene looked up and saw that Rini was smiling through her teary eyes.
"I've known Serena all my life and I know that she'll fight to stay alive and stay with us." Rini comforted. Ilene smiled and enveloped the younger girl in her arms, Ken touched to see that his daughter and wife were getting along. He went to the other side of the bed as to not disturb the two embracing girls and sat in a chair pulled up to his older daughter's bed. His eyes filled with tears as he watched her strain for a single inhale of sweet air. His head snapped up when he heard a loud cry of 'NNOOO!' and got up, his wife and daughter following and opening the door. Mina was sitting on the floor, crying her eyes out, though it wasn't her who uttered the word, but the man that was holding her, trying to comfort her while comforting himself and the other girls.
"Oh Ilene." Vicky said, hugging her sister-in-law tightly, Rob giving his brother-in-law a sad look. Ken returned to his daughter's side and took her small, pale, and fragile hand in his large ones.
"Oh sweet Serenity, I'm sorry that I was never with you fully until you were five, but I can't loose you now that I'm trying to make up for the years that I raised your sister. I was just so confused when your mother had you and then a month later I found out that Karen had Rini that I immediately flocked to the younger woman instead of my wife and broke our marriage so that I could help her. Oh Serena, I felt so bad for what I had done and now I feel even worse that I never once saw you more then the month that I had before your sister was born. My sweet, innocent child, can you ever forgive me?" Ken asked, beginning to sob. He felt something and looked up to see Serena looking at him, air mask over her mouth, holding onto his hand as hard as she could.
"I love you, daddy." Was all he could hear through her mask and was all that it took to break him apart completely. Darien heard this and came to Mr. Taylor. He got up and went to be consoled by his wife or maybe his sister, but whatever it was, it left Darien alone with Serena. He took her hand like so many before him had but instead of just holding it and he kissed it.
"Serena, I'm sorry that I never told you this, but I-I love you. With all my heart and soul. I love you even before you became a goddess because you weren't like the other girls who put on a show, but were true to yourself and I guess I wasn't very true to myself because I was afraid of what the guys and the school would say if I started dating you. Everything I did was all an act to hide my feelings and make it seem like I hated you but once you became even more beautiful then you naturally are, I knew that my crowd you accept you if I ever asked you out. Pretty shallow of me, huh?" Darien asked, looking into her eyes. She reached a shaky hand up and removed her mask, taking in a sharp breath.
"No Darien, it's not. I love you as well and I don't care of what happened in the past. As long as we're together now." Darien leaned over and kissed her lightly and pulled away, allowing her to put her mask back on and drift off into a deep slumber. "But Serena, how long will that be?" He found himself asking aloud.
"Darien?" Hotaru called, walking over to him. He looked at her and then at Raye, who followed closely behind. Everyone had always figured that they were all related because of their close similarities and attitudes, and they were right for they were cousins, like Mina and Serena. Amy was Darien, Raye, and Hotaru's second cousin, pulling the four into a close relationship.
"Hey hon." Raye said, kneeling down next to him, her eyes purposely away from the body of her friend. Hotaru hugged him and looked sorrowfully down at him. She felt so bad that he first lost his mother and little brother, then his father following shortly after, and now maybe the girl he loved. Darien looked away from his cousins and at Serena, tears threatening once more to burst out.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Amy said, coming up from behind Raye.
"It's just so damn unfair! Why is it that God is taking away everyone that I love?" Darien asked through rage. Amy shut the door and went back to her family.
"Oh Darien, I'm sure that He's not." Amy assured, placing a comforting hand on his back. Darien shrugged off all of their touches and shook his head.
"He doesn't want me to be happy at all. First He takes away my mom and my brother in that stupid accident when I was twelve, then my dad when I was fourteen, and now He's going to be taking my love away from me before we ever even started a relationship!" Darien yelled out. The girls all looked at each other and shook their heads.
"First off Darien, the car crash wasn't something that was planned, I'm sure. Aunt Stella and Jeremy were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And also the explosion that killed Uncle Terrence was all a bad chain of reactions." Raye said. Darien shook his head again, tears falling from his eyes.
"No, mom and Jeremy weren't in the wrong place at the wrong time! It was planned that they were supposed to be there because they were to die, and dad wasn't just a victim of that accident. No one ELSE died in the explosion! It was only him! Why was it him?!" The three girls hugged him as he cried for the loss of his parents and little brother. "First it was them, then him, and now her. Why her, God, why?" Darien asked in a low whisper between tears. Hotaru broke away from the hug and buried her eyes in the palm of her hands, beginning to sob as well. This surprised Raye and Amy because the girl hardly ever cried openly like this. The door opened and Lita and Mina came into the room, Lita flocking to Hotaru to hug and comfort her while Mina stood by Serena's bed, looking down at her with a guilty look on her face that was mixed with her sadness. This was all her fault. None of this wouldn't have happened if she hadn't pressured Serena into getting the make over, which led to a spiteful taste of revenge on Darien, to the date, and to the accident. It was all Mina's fault and she couldn't help but blame herself.
"Ladies, Darien, please clear out of the room. Serena needs to go in for an examination." Mrs. Mizuno said, looking at the group. As they left, she hugged her second niece and nephew, letting them cry on her. Amy looked up and saw her step dad standing there talking with Mr. Taylor. He turned to Amy and brushed a lock of blue hair out of her eyes.
"You can stay here if you like tonight, Amy." He told her. She smiled and hugged him tightly.
"If you guys want, there is a room down the hall that's locked and I'll let you in. There's a few couches, a little fridge, a pop machine, and a TV. You can all go and relax in there." Dr. Mizuno said. The teenagers walked down the hall and into the room, all of them sitting on the couches or the armchairs.
"I can't believe that it's Serena in there." Lita said after a while's silence. Everyone looked at her. "I mean, she's Safe Serena, a girl who would never be caught doing anything bad or anything like that and now she's in a hospital for being tossed off a motorcycle after going to a club." Lita mused. Everything nodded in agreement, finding what she said true. They heard the sound of the door open and saw Seiya step in, his shirt open and a bandage around his midsection.
"I didn't know that anyone would be in here." He said softly. Darien only glared while the other girls just stared.
"How does it feel to know that you're the murder of my sister?" Rini spat, approaching him and glaring.
"I didn't murder her." Seiya replied calmly, not threatened by the smaller girl.
"You might as well have." Mina said, getting up and joining her cousin, standing next to her and looking across at Seiya, looking his straight in the eye.
"You girls have the wrong idea. It's all her fault." Seiya replied, glaring.
"Oh, so then it's her fault that you went faster and eventually crashed to the ground? Is that what your saying? Well buddy, you better brush up on your facts because that's nothing like what I saw!" Mina yelled. Seiya glared harder and pushed hard on the two girls, making them fall with a loud 'thump' onto the ground. Darien stood up right away, the girls helping their friends up. Darien glared at Seiya and punched him hard in the face. Seiya stumbled back and hit the wall, the impact hurting his ribs, which sent pain all through him.
"Don't touch me, orphan boy. I'm sure that your wench of a mother taught you better, or was it just that your pathetic daddy never taught you right from wrong?" Seiya sneered. Darien leapt onto him and began beating the daylights out of him.
"Don't you ever talk about my mother or father that way!" Darien yelled between punches. Lita and Raye, two of the stronger girls, ran over to pull Darien off of the hospitalized boy. The other girls had to help hold him back though it was still a struggle to keep him down. Seiya glared at the group and stormed out of the room. Raye, Amy, and Hotaru all looked at their family member and felt sorrow for him.
"You know everyone, I wish that we'd stop talking about Serena like she's dead already, it'll upset Ilene! There is still a small ray of hope for her. I can't deal with someone else I love dying so stop talking like she's already!" Rini exclaimed. Darien looked over at her and sat down next to her.
"Rini, how did your mother die?" Darien asked, looking into her cinnamon eyes.
"She died from virus in her heart when I was eight. We didn't know she had it for the longest time and when we found out, we found out she only had four months left and she died in the fall one day when I came home from school. Directly after I came home from school, actually. She said that she was waiting for me and to call my dad and that she loved me and with one last kiss, she just died." Rini said, pain dripping through her words. The girls all looked at her, the question that was always on the tip of their tongue around her but never said was finally answered.
"My mom and brother died in a car crash when I was twelve. My little brother Jeremy was only six. Then two years later my dad died in an explosion at his work. I didn't get o really say goodbye to any of them, and I was upset when I found out about the car crash because just earlier that day before mom and Jeremy left, he and I were fighting over something stupid," Darien sighed, "I don't need anymore people I love dying either." Rini smiled faintly and hugged him, both of them knowing the harsh pain of loosing someone whom they cared for.
-End of chapter! Sorry for the long wait! Was that sad at all? I had to have one really sad chapter and I'm not sure if this is it. Some of it came from my own personal experience when my Nana died in March *says a little prayer*. Well, I'll get the next chapter out ASAP! And remember what Rini said! Till next time!
-Serenity =^.^=
Thanx for the reviews!!!! Lol! They all seemed to have the same feeling towards them! This chapter will make things brighter, don't worry! Enjoy! And I still don't own anything!
