"Darien's been in an accident," Serena echoed as she fell back onto her bed. She seemed to be in a trance as the information her mother had told her ran through her mind.

Darien had been making a right turn when a SUV had gone through a red light and hit his motorcycle. Darien's motorcyle with Darien attached had gone under the SUV. His bike had been totalled and Darien was in much worse shape. He was in a coma in the hospital, the odds of him waking up were not good.

Serena felt helpless as she sat slumped on the bed. 'This wasn't supposed to happen. The deal was if I stayed away from him he wouldn't...' Serena's thoughts trailed off. She couldn't bear to think that her nightmare was starting to become a reality.

"This can't be happening!" Serena exclaimed as she stood up suddenly and stamped her foot. Every part of her was screaming at her to go to the hospital to see Darien, to see for herself what damage had been done to him...but she knew she couldn't. He was already in bad shape and if she visited him his condition might worsen.

Serena threw herself back onto her bed. Her shoulders shook uncontrollably as she let out a choked sob. 'This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be happening!' Serena thought desperately as she let her tears flow freely.

Later

Serena sat on her bed with her knees pulled up tightly against her chest. It had been hours since Serena had found out about Darien's accident. Her mother had retreated from the room not too long after, leaving Serena and Seiya alone.

Seiya had held Serena close to him and rubbed her back and stroked her flaxen hair while trying to offer words of consolidation, none of which worked. The inital shock and anguish had not faltered.

Seiya now sat silently next to Serena, unsure of what to say or do next. Serena's mind barely registered that he was there although he was only inches from her. She was too absorbed in her own thoughts.

Andrew had called early, inquiring if she was going to go to the hospital and visit Darien. When Serena had told him that she wasn't going Andrew had been stunned and threw many questions at her but they all led back to the same one..why? Why wasn't she going to go visit him? Serena had replied that he wouldn't understand and Andrew, instead of insisting that he would, explained to her what he understood.

"I know you guys may have severed your relationship, but that doesn't mean your love for each other ended when the relationship did. I know he still loves you and I know you still love him. Even if you don't want to get back together with him you should at least visit him. He's not in good shape Serena, and I know you, you'll end up regretting not visiting if something happens to him so do it before it's too late." Andrew had said before hanging up, leaving the blond to contemplate this.

Night came and went as Serena's mind and heart continued their battle. He mind was telling her that the logical thing to do was to stay as far away as possible from him. He had already be injured badly and if she went to visit him in the hospital, his condition might become worse and she didn't want that to happen.

Meanwhile her heart was arguing that there was still a chance that his condition would worsen without her there and then she would regret behaving in the manner she had and not going to visit him. She knew she wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. By morning she had her mind made up. She was going to visit Darien in the hospital.

AN: I know this chapter is really short but I promise to make the next one longer. What will happen in the next chapter? Will Darien wake up? Will they get back together? And will Serena discover who is sending her those nightmares?
