When Irene heard her daughter crying she ran downstairs to find her daughter in a ball infront of the

front door. Irene quietly took her daughter in her arms and gave her a hug before leading her to the

living room and placing her on the couch.

"Serena, sweety whats wrong."

"Oh mom i dont know what to do. Im so confused." Serena managed to choke out between sobs.

"What happened?"

"Well Seiya, on his last night here, took me to the beach for a romantic dinner. Afterwards we walked

along the beach and he told me how much he loved me." She replied before burting into tears again.

"Whats the problem then sweet heart?" Irene asked, confused.

"Today me and Darien were sitting on the dock in the park and then he told me how much he loves too.

I dont know what to do. Ive always loved Darien .When i finally gave up on him and loved somone else,

then he tells me hes always loved me. Oh mom what do i do?"

"I cant help you decide Serena but i can give you some advice. You need to look inside your heart and

listen to what it tells you. In matters of the heart your the only one that can decide and even though your

mind will try to over power your heart with logic that is never the way to go."

"How do you know so much about this mom?"

"Well Serena, back in high school i was the center of two boys lives. They were always competing

with each other. I had gotten so upset with the two of them i found comfort in my child hood friend.

While the two boys were competing my child hood friend had stolen my heart. I've known your father

since we were five years old. He was the one that told me those words that i just told you."

"Really? So you and Dad had grown up together?"

"Yes. We did."

"Thanks for telling me that story mom. But i need to think on this for a while."

Serena gave her mom a hug and kiss on the cheek and headed upstairs to her room. Her mother knew

she needed to be left alone so she informed her husband and son to avoid Serena for as long as possible.

So the two men decided to go to the movies.

'I love them both. I know that much but I dont know which one to choose. Darien, even though he

teased me, he did have his sweet moments. Like when i had arrived at the arcade after school crying.

Instead of teasing me about my hair or grades, he asked me what was wrong. When i told him that

the girls in my highschool were pushing me around because of my hair, he looked like he was ready

to punch a hole through the wall. He had told me that the reason he had teased me about it was

because it did look like meatballs and spagetti but no one deserves physical abuse. In his own

secret way Darien protect me he always managed to show up when i was really scared or frightened.

Seiya comforts me and listens to my problems. He respected my wishes with the whole sex thing.

Like when he gave me a sponge bath, i was naked but he allowed me to wash my breasts and nether

regions. I loved both men at different stages of life, there's no point comparing. I am just grateful to have exerienced true love twice. But i know what i must do now.'

"Mom?" Serena asked while coming into the living room and finding her mom watching television by herself.

"Sammy and your father went to the movies to give you some space. I kinda figured you would need to

talk to me some more, so i stayed. But i dont need to hear who youve chosen."

"Thank you. I have made my decision and i need you to promise that you'll support me in it no matter what."

"Serena you will always have my support."

"Thank you so much mom." Serena expressed.

Serena walked out of her house to go and confront the two people she loves.

The finalchapter isnext, with Serena's final decision. Who will it be Seiya or Darien?
