That morning, Darien was the first to wake up. He turned his head and then saw the beautiful sight before him. He then remembered last night. 'I don't know what came over me last night. I've never gone this fast in my life with someone. But I do love her' he told himself. She then started to open her eyes slowly. "Good morning my love" He smiled at her.

"Good morning" she said back to him. "So Darien...you tricked me. I thought I was going to sing for you!" she told him with a little laugh. "Well you can if you want" he told her flirting a bit. "Um...maybe some other time. So tell me, how did you find this place?" she asked being a little curious. "Well...I bought this. You see when I was like 5, my dad won the lottery, but before he could spend it. My mom didn't know that he already made his will with the money he won, so she tried to take all of it. After my dad died my mom became a huge slut." Darien told her. "Darien, that's not the way to talk about your mother. She gave you li..." Serena started. "I know, I know. But you see when she found out all the money went to me. She started to become a gold digger. She really wanted money. So with the money I got from my father, I used to pay my education. And I wanted to bye a place so I can be left alone, and sing. Singing to me is like a way to relax and let go of stress, so I bought this place." He finished telling her.

"Wow, Darien, You're so strong. Living like that. You know I used to have a best friend. He's name was Darien too. But I used to call him 'Dare-Bear'. But I don't know what happened to him." She told him. "Really? I used to have a best friend and her name was Rena. But she abandoned me. She left me with out saying a word. And she left me with no one but my mother. I didn't have much friend where I lived. My mom made me buy a house where the rich live. So I wasn't used to those kinds of people." He told her. "But it's funny because Rena used to call me 'Dare-Bear' too." He laughed at this.

"Darien? Every one used to call me Rena when I was younger. But I made everyone stop when I stopped seeing Dare. "Are you 'Dare-Bear'?" Serena asked hoping Darien was her best friend from the past. "You are Rena? Get out!!! NOW!! I never want to see you again. Get out you left me with no friends; you left me with my mother. I HATE YOU!" He yelled throwing her clothes out the door.

"Darien you don't mean that" she cried. "I love you." And then she left. 'God I was stupid. How can I think I knew him' he kept thinking. She got dressed, and left the cabin. She called for a cap to pick her up and left to Andrew's apartment.

When she got to the apartment, her eyes where still swollen and red from crying about Darien. "Serena, are you okay? Where's Darien?" Andrew asked a little worried. "I...We...Darien and..." She tried to talk about it, but the words wouldn't come out. Serena fell to the floor and started to cry again. Andrew went to her, and tried to console her. "Everything will work out" he told her. "I promise

During the weeks that went by, Serena started to practice and finally chose a song to make all of her mother's dream come true. The best way for that to happen was to sing what she was feeling, and what she was feeling was hurt. She was torn. She didn't know what she would do if she didn't get online with Trista Willis. She wanted to forget about Darien...again.

"Riiinnng, riiinnng." The phone rang. "Serena can you get that" Andrew yelled at her. "Riiinnng". "Hello" she said. "Serena Thompson, this is Trista Willis' secretary speaking. I just wanted to inform you that your appointment is scheduled Friday night at 7:30 pm. It will be held at our stage in Malibu. Do you know where it is?" she asked. "Yes" Serena told her. "Alright perfect, Mrs. Willis expects you to come by a few hours before your performance, and she expects you to have a song. Good day, and good luck" she told Serena. "Thank you" Serena told her and then hung up the phone."

"Andrew! I'm singing this Friday at 7:30 pm, on there stage in Malibu!" She told Andrew. "Really? That's great. I'll get everyone to come and see you perform" He told her. "That would be great". She thanked him.

She then called her mother and told her the good news. Her mother told hr she would fly down, and watch.

"Well Sere, I got to go to work. I'll let every one know about your performance." He said then left the apartment. Serena decided to stay and practice some more. 'I wonder if Darien will be there?' she thought to herself. 'Stop it Serena. Forget about him.' She told herself trying to forget about him.

At the arcade, Andrew noticed Darien was there. "Hey Darien." Andrew told him. "Hey Drew, I want you to meet Melissa." Darien told him pointing at the tall women with long strait brown hair walking to Darien. "Hey there darling" She kissed Darien. "Melissa, I want you to meet my best friend Andrew. Andrew meet Melissa James" Darien introduced them. "Hi Melissa, it's nice to meet you." Andrew said shaking her hand. "Likewise" She told him. "Alright baby, I got to go." She told Darien and kissed him full on the mouth, and then walked out of the arcade.

"Darien, Serena's big day is this Friday, at 7:30 in Malibu. I hope you'll be there. Think about okay, I got to do my job know so I'll talk to you later." Andrew told him and walked away before Darien could say anything. 'I hope she makes...God, no; I hope her dreams rot in hell. Wait a minute; I know how to get her back for abandoning me.' Darien thought devilishly before getting up and walking out of the arcade.

Friday finally came, and Serena was getting really nervous. She didn't know what to do first: her hair, her make-up... "Andrew, can you come and help me, I'm stressing out." Serena yelled at Andrew.

"Alright Sere, what do you need help with." He asked handing her breakfast. "I don't know what to do first, Andrew...." She started to tear up. "Don't worry Sere, I'll give Rita and the girls a call and were going to figure something out. Look on the Brightside, your parents are coming down...right?" he asked her rubbing her back. "Yeah, thank you a lot Andrew. No matter what happens tonight, I want you to know how much I love you...you know as a brother." She told him looking into his green eyes. "Thank you Sere, I love you too as a sister." He told her giving her a hug.

Andrew then left to call the girls to come over and help. Knock, knock. "I'll get it Serena told Andrew. Serena opened the door to reveal...
