LAST TIME:
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...
"Mom, Dad! You made it!" Serena said to her mother and father, Helen and Ken Thompson. "Honey, we wouldn't miss it for the world." Her mother said giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much" She said again to her parents. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Thompson" Andrew said giving them a handshake. "Hello Andrew. It's nice to see you again." Ken said to Andrew. "Well, we don't have much time to chat. Mom, dad, my friends are coming over to help me get ready. We'll meet you in Malibu. Okay?" Serena told her parents. "Of course, your father and I will see you tonight." Helen told her. "Good luck my child." Ken said giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving.
About half an hour later, Mina, Amy and Lita came by. "Alright Sere, Mina is going to do your hair, Amy is going to get your clothes ready and I'm going to do your make-up." Lita told Serena. "Andrew...where's Ritz?" Serena asked Andrew. "Her mother suspects us. She wants her to stay home tonight and help clean the the house. She's really sorry she's going to miss your performance."
"Oh, that's too bad. My mom and dad are going to tape it. I'll let Ritz borrow it whenever she wants." She told Andrew feeling a little disappointed. "That's why you deserve this Serena, always looking on the bright side." He told her smiling. "Andrew's right. You're an amazing person." Amy told her coming out of Serena's room.
"Thanks you guys. I promise, if I make it, I'll pay you back some how." "You see...stop that, you don't owe us anything." Mina said to her. "And don't ever say 'if I make it' again...you will make it." Lita said. "Well, I'm done with your hair." Mina said smiling. "Me too" Lita said shortly after. "Perfect. Thanks you guys, but know I got to get dressed, and off we go to MALIBU!!!" Serena said running to her room.

When they finally got to Malibu, they all went looking for Mrs. Willis. "Excuse me sir, do you know where Trista Willis would be?" She asked an older but handsome man. "Serenity...is that you?" He asked her. "Um...no, my name is Serena." "Oh I'm really sorry you just look a lot like this person I once knew. He said. "My name is John Diamond Willis. My wife is in her office, just go down the hallway and turn to your left and it's the second door on your left." He said pointing at the direction. "Thank you Mr. Willis." She said turning around. "Just call me Diamond" He said before she left. "Alright, thank you Diamond."
"So, Serena, did that hot man tell you where Trista was?" Mina said. "Ew...Mina that man is probably like 40." Lita said. "So. He looks dreamy." Mina said. "Okay where here. Oh, and Mina, he's married." Serena told them. "Really?" Mina asked. "Yeah he told me his wife was Trista." She said then knocked at the door. "Come in" Trista said. "Wish me luck Serena whispered before going in."
Once inside Trista's office, Serena started to say "Here is everything you wante..." Perfect thank you Serena. If I need anything else, I know where to find you. Good luck." She said cutting her off. "Alright thank you for everything." Serena said before walking out of the office.

Meanwhile, Andrew was looking for the girls so they can all find good seats for Serena's performance. As he was walking he saw someone familiar holding some black suit case. "Darien...what are you doing here. If you're here to ruin Serena's day..."He started to say. "Andrew, you might be my best friend, but you really need to mind your own business." He said than walked away. 'He's up to something. He better not hurt her.' He thought to himself.
"He better not hurt her" Andrew said. "Hurt who?" Mina Lita and Amy asked. "Oh...sorry I was just thinking out loud. Let's go find our seats." He said changing the subject. "Okay." Mina said. 'He knows something.' She thought before leaving with the others.

Backstage, Serena was getting ready for her performance. "God, please let them like me, please. I can't let my mom down, before this she never took interest in me, please." She was telling herself out loud.
Ladies and gentleman, I know you all have been waiting to see our latest talent. To tell you the truth, I don't know how she sounds myself, but I've herd wonderful things about her. She is incredibly beautiful. Let's here it for Serena." Serena herd Trista say.
The curtains opened, and there was Serena, sitting on a small stool in the middle of the stage. The music started to play and Serena started to sing.
Serena: Thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
As Serena was signing, she got up from the stool and brought the microphone to the stand and sang with every emotion that was running through her.
Serena: Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already tor...
Then, all of a sudden, the lights closed, and the music stopped. When the lights came back, there was Darien. He was standing right next to Serena. "Hi there, everyone." Darien started to say. "There's something all of you need to know about this bitch standing next to me." He said pointing at Serena. "Darien what are you doing?" Serena asked him, starting to tear up. Darien was starting to feel bad. 'Maybe I shouldn't go through with this' His heart kept on telling him. But his mind was telling him to watch the bitch go down.
"This little girl over here is a heartless bitch. She enjoys watching people grow up with nothing. NOTHING. Am I right 'Rena'? He said looking at her. "Darien, stop it. I never meant to hurt you. I swear." She said crying.
When seeing this, Trista ordered people to get him of the stage. When the two big men grabbed him, and started to take him off the stage, Darien said. "Serena, if you sing again...I'll know the truth...I know if you really do love me or not...you here me!" Serena didn't know what to do.
She looked over at her mom, and her mother was already gone. Trista went up to her and told Serena. "Serena, I'm sorry, but we can't sign you. You have a beautiful voice don't get me wrong, but what happened tonight will have too much publicity. This blowout ruined your changes at signing professionally. I'm really sorry." Serena couldn't take it anymore, she had to get out of there, get out of L.A, and forget everything that happened.
