A/N: Thank you all for the great reviews, I will finish this story so don't worry. It's a very busy summer though, so you might have to wait sometimes.

Chapter 2

Serena was in her bra and panties and heard something behind her. She spun around and saw her stepfather holding his chest, bleeding. He fell and Serena ran to him, careful not to get to close. Her stepfather started coughing and pointed his finger at her.

"You. Bitch." With that her stepfather closed his eyes and his spirit went to hell.

Serena walked back, really, really afraid. Who could have done this to him? But as soon as that thought entered her head it fell away. She could hear somebody trying hard not to be heard.

"Who's there? Whoever's there come out and show yourself. I'm not afraid of you." She said. As she finished someone came out and although she couldn't see him she knew immediately who he was. "Darien...how could you?" He stepped closer and you could see the knife in his jacket flashing from the light of the sun coming up.

"I was protecting you. I know what he does every night. I couldn't let that keep going on." Darien came close. Breathing hard. She could feel the hot air and couldn't take it.

"You're a murderer. There is no excuse for this... for killing him. I could handle it. I was used to it. I'll be eighteen in 2 years; I would've gotten away then. They'll find you and put you in jail or they'll put me in jail." Darien put his finger on her lips and she shut up. "What am I gonna do?" Darien leaned in and kissed her and she let him. It was a long, and passionate one, like the one before they promised each other they couldn't be together anymore.

Flashback (5 Weeks Before)

Serena and Darien were having a very passionate kiss and slowly taking off their clothes.

"I can't do this... we can't do this. I'm sorry." Darien stopped them and started straightening up.

"Why? Raye's not here, she won't know." Serena watched him get up and walk across his bedroom. She looked down at his satin, red sheets and up to his black ceiling. His whole room was like a quarter of her whole house. She looked at him and his back was facing her.

"Serena, we can't do this anymore," Darien turned around and faced Serena with a very stern look. "This is it. No more flings. I really like you, and I want to still be friends with you but Raye will find out. I'll help you as much as I can, but don't expect too much." He walked to his desk and put his hands sown on it.

Serena was still looking at him. She shook her head, got up, and went to his door. I hope you're happy with your life." With that she left.

End Flashback

"Stop. Last time we started this you hurt me. I can't handle it if you hurt me again." Serena looked at Darien straight in the eyes and waited for an answer.

"Serena. Look, I'm sorry for that, Raye took me aside that day and told me to end it or she would've hurt you." Darien told her and was going to kiss her again, but she stopped him.

"She would've hurt me? Darien you're like twice her size. You're bigger than her 'friends'. Besides, listen to what you just told me. What could she do? Beat me up a little. She knows that if it got bad enough, that I would have to go to the hospital, and she would get arrested." Darien looked away.

"That's not what I mean." He said

Out of nowhere there was a shot. It came straight through the window and hit its intended target.

A/N: I really hope you liked this one. It was a bit more dramatic. I'll write soon. Love ya all. Reviews please. The more the faster the chapter will come out.
