Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 6

By Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Last time:

Suddenly all the lights went off, and the music stopped, people started moaning as everyone bashed into each other and the sound of smashing glass was heard as drinks were dropped.

"Oi, you two sluts on the dance floor."

The lights came on again and were directed at two girls on a balcony above us.

"It's Jessica and Chelsey, our enemies, in work and out." Whispered Robin to me as we glared at them.

I had a feeling this party was gonna suddenly turn really bad...

Serena's P.O.V

Oh my god, they were walking over towards us.

"Robin have they got some kind of problem with us?"

"Yeah, they have, it's because we're better than them, we always sell more of our designs, and basically we're more famous than them and they can't accept that."

"We're not famous." I said confused.

"Serena, do you not remember how many job offers we both turned down last month, how many magazines wanted us on their covers? What the hell happened to you, it's like you lost your memory overnight or something." She said as she walked off and left me alone to deal with Jessica and Chelsey.

"Robin wait…"

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Serena Tsukino, let me guess you're now gonna rub in our faces how much money you've made this month." Glared Chelsey, as she looked me up and down.

"Actually I'm just gonna ignore you."

"What? Since when have you ignored us? Come on wimp, normally you're the one that starts the fights."

"Yeah well I've changed, now would you two just piss off, you weren't even invited to this party." Oh my god, I just told them to piss off, and now they're getting angry, I guess I should have listened when people told me I had a big mouth.

"What did you just say?" Hissed Jessica as she slammed her drink on the table.

"N-nothing, I gotta go."

"You ain't going nowhere until you tell me what you just said."

"I didn't say anything!" Boy, was I in trouble.

"Yes you did, bitch, tell me what you said or I'll whack that pretty face of yours so hard…"

"Jessica, leave it."

I turned around to see who had just saved my life, literally.

I gasped as I recognised who it was…

Robin's P.O.V

Everything was so confusing. One minute Serena was out with me partying, drinking, flirting, and having fun. Now she's acting like she did in High School, all wimpy and clueless. It's like she changed over night. But I don't like the new Serena, the new Serena is the old Serena that I hated back in High school, the Serena that was a cry-baby, and was dumb and ugly. I mean hey, she's not ugly anymore, but she's dumb again. And the look on her face when Jessica and Chelsey walked in was embarrassing; it was like she was scared. When usually she's the one making the comments or threatening them.

I looked over and realised that Jessica was coming on really hard to Serena. Maybe I should have gone to help. I was about to walk over when a dark figure walked over and grabbed Jessica's arm. As soon as the figure spoke, Jessica seemed to melt. But what surprised me the most was the look on Serena's face.

She looked relieved, yet heart broken, terrified and totally smitten all in one.

I saw her mumble a thank you to the figure and she ran out of the room.

"Serena." I yelled after her, but she had gone.

Serena's P.O.V

How could he be here?

He just saved me life! Shouldn't I be thankful?

I feel so confused. I mean, just seeing him made my heart brake.

Was he seeing Jessica?

She practically melted into his arms.

I can't handle this, being an adult.

I thought I was getting used to it, and that I could live with it. But I can't.

I just want my old life back, I don't want to be friends with Robin, and I don't want to have to watch my back because of Jessica and Chelsey.

I hate this life. I hate it!

Robin's P.O.V

That was it. No one messes with my friend and gets away with it.

"Hey you." I shouted at the guy who had stopped Jessica from whacking Serena.

He looked around, noticed me and very obviously turned his back on me.

"Yeah, that's right you in the black shirt, I wanna word with you."

"Robin what do you want?" He asked.

Hey wait a minute, I recognised that voice, and how did he know my name?

Seeing the confusion on my face he continued.

"Look, I don't want anything to do with you, I just had to help Serena, and don't ask how I know you, because it's not worth it. Just go away and whatever you do, don't hurt Serena."

"Why would I she's my friend." I asked, still trying to figure out where I knew him from.

"Lets just say, you have done in the past and I know you're capable of doing it again."

"You know what you have a nerve just barging in here and telling me what to…Darien Shields. I knew I recognised you from somewhere."

"Yeah, well as I was saying, you hurt Serena and you're dead get it?"

"And as I said, she's my friend and I won't hurt her."

He huffed and walked off, muttering something under his breath.

That was so weird, why was he so overprotective of Serena? I thought he dumped her years ago!

Darien's P.O.V

She's changed so much. No longer is she my little meatball-head. She's mature and independent now. Seeing her last night was so hard, seeing the look on her beautiful face when she saw me. I know that deep down she's not happy, she never has been, well not since I was such a stupid bastard and treated her like crap, and then she had that argument with the Sailor scouts, well at least that's what I think happened. I mean why else would she be friends with that slag Robin of all people? She hated Serena in High school, made her life living hell from what I can remember. Anyway, I need to find her again, to tell her that I still love her, always have, and always will.

Serena's P.O.V

I woke up the nest morning with a raging headache. I felt tired and I ached all over. I guess I'd better get used to it, cos according to Robin we got pissed out of our minds all the time.

I put the radio on and slowly made my way to the bathroom. There, I splashed water on my face and looked at myself in the mirror. I was a wreck, my face was plastic. I'd obviously had my nose done; it was never that perfect before, not that I minded.

I can't believe I've let myself get this way. I mean, I don't talk to the scouts anymore, and I'm friends with Robin! How sad was I.

Suddenly last night came back to me. The party, Chelsey and Jessica and finally him. After all this time, he's suddenly appeared. But why?

I mean I don't exactly know myself that well anymore, but I've been finding out loads from Robin. And according to her he hasn't been a part of my life since we last saw each other at graduation, and he hadn't even been to see me, oh no, he'd been there for the other scouts, well according to Robin anyway.

But you know what? Even though he treated me the way he did in the past. Seeing him last night, looking the way he did gave me butterflies. The same butterflies I used to get when we argued all the time, the same butterflies I got when we kissed for the very first time. And you know what? Last night made me think. There must have been a reason for why he broke up with me, because last night, even though I was in shock from seeing him, he still had that look in his eyes that said… I love you.

That's it, from this day forward I'm sorting my future self's life out, which is the life I'm living now, so technically I need to…

Oh screw that I'm just gonna make myself better! And I'm gonna start by finding him, and them, so that I can finally have my old life back. One minute, why is he over here in America? I guess I'm gonna be finding out a lot of new information in the next few weeks, but I'm just gonna have to deal with it.

Will Serena reunite with her friends and former love? Or will she be doomed to live the rest of her life with Robin and the freaky man that said she looked good? Review if you wanna find out!

Hiya, sorry it was so short. But I've got writers block really badly, so if anyone's got any ideas please tell me them, I know what's gonna happen for the next chapter, but after that I'm clueless. Anyway if you liked it and want more please review cos it means a lot to me, and thanks to everyone that reviewed my last chapter, you're all great.

Luv
