"Where are we going?" Serena asked.

"Oh, you'll see." replied Darien. They kept walking, until they reached a huge, apartment building. Darien led Serena through the front doors, and onto the elevator. When the elevator stopped moving, they stepped out, and Serena followed Darien into an apartment.

'Wow!' thought Serena as she looked around the room. It was clear that this place was not a cheap place to live!

"Do you really live here?" asked Serena momentarily forgetting about the plan.

"Yeah I do." replied Darien nervously. He quickly asked if she wanted anything to eat.

After telling him, what she wanted, Serena sat down on his couch. "How do you afford this place? Where's your family?" she questioned not noticing his unease.

Darien's P.O.V.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I...well when I was six, my parents and I were in a car crash. I was the only one who survived, but I didn't remember anything, not even my name. Apparently, my parents left me with a lot of money, so...here I am." Darien blurted out.

'Why did you go and say that? You know, now she's going to pity you, just like everybody else!'

Is that so?

'Yes it is! Why do you ask'

Maybe because of the look she's giving you?

'Huh?' Darien thought as he looked up. Instead of pity, he saw admiration in her eyes.

"Wow, you must be so strong, to be able to go through all that! And at the age of six too!" Serena said.

"I can't imagine what it would be like!" she continued.

"Uh...yeah, thanks! Um...here is your food" Darien said handing her a plate of cookies, and a glass of milk.

"Thanks!" she replied, and started to eat. Before long, the whole plate was gone.

"You finished them all?" Darien asked surprised.

"Oh, sorry about that! Did you want some?" Serena replied. She blushed a deep red from embarrassment.

"No, no. I'm just surprised!" He said. The two went into a comfortable silence, as they each thought their own thoughts.

'Well, that worked out well!'

I must agree, she has stopped crying!

Darien looked up and glanced at Serena's face.

'God, she looks like an angel!'

Yep! Especially with her baby blue eyes, and...

Meanwhile...

Serena's P.O.V.

'He's being so nice'

He sure has! And how do you repay him? You go, and you lie to him!

'It was your idea!'

Yes it was, but you still carried it out! Seriously, people these days! If I told you to jump off a cliff, would you?

'No, as usual, you are right!'

Obviously!

'What now?'

I think you should tell him.

'Tell him what?'

That you lied! What else would you tell him?

'But, what if he gets mad?'

Then he'll have quite a good reason to! Now go!

'Okay, Okay!'

Serena looked, and saw him staring at her. Their eyes met for a moment, and then both of them looked away, feeling flustered.

"Darien, I...I have to tell you something!" said Serena, breaking the silence.

"Sure, go right ahead." he replied.

"I...I..." Serena faltered.

"Go on." urged Darien softly.

"I really don't know how to...to say this." Serena hesitated.

"It's alright Serena, you can tell me anything!" insisted Darien.

"IliedtoyouabouthavingaboyfriendandI'mreallyreallyreallysorrycanyoueverforgiveme? Serena finally said, all in one breath.

"What?" questioned Darien.

Serena took a deep breath and said, "I lied to you, about breaking up with my boyfriend. Truthfully, I don't even have a boyfriend. It's just your always teasing, and I wanted to prove you wrong. I'm really, really, really, sorry, can you ever forgive me?" By the time she finished talking, she was in tears.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, what do think? What should Darien's reaction be? Will he be mad? Will he be disappointed? Or maybe, he might even be relieved! Well, that's it for now! Hope everyone has a great holiday!
