Title Less than Perfect

Author Aqua 6969

Summary I was just messing around on my computer and ended up writing this. What if Serena and Stanton's relationship was less than perfect because lets face it: it is perfect. I for one am a little sick of it aren't u?

I have decided to continue this story due to its unexplainable popularity. Sorry I took so long to update but I was very busy. But its here now so read on!

Stanton's eye fluttered open and took in the scene around him. Serena was snuggled comfortably in his arms. All her walls were down, and for one precious second, he was at peace….and then the events of the night before came flooding back to him.

As he looked down at Serena's sleeping form, her face a picture of innocence, he knew he could easily slip into her mind and erase all memory of him ever cheating on her. But he also knew that he would never take advantage of her like that. In fact at that exact moment the only thing he knew was that he loved the girl in his arms and would never hurt her again.

It wasn't the first time He had done something like this to her, and he knew that she was getting tired of the excuses and the fights and the forgiving. And he knew that every time he hurt her a tiny piece of the wall of trust she had built for him would fall away.

Serena yawned and stretched, then, putting her arms back around Stanton's body snuggled into his chest. Stanton chuckled, If only she would act like that when she was awake, then everything would be alright.

"Serena, get up! You're gonna be late" Stanton heard Collin shout from the bottom of the stairs and quickly faded into shadow. From the corner he watched Collin walk into the room and shake his sister awake. He saw Serena glance around her room before spotting his shadow in the corner. Then she muttered something to Collin about being sick and lay back down on the bed.

As Collin was about to leave the room she said to him, "Collin, I'm not really in the mood to talk to any lying, cheating, snakes right now so if anyone stops by to see me, tell them I'm sick okay? Everyone except Jimena."

Collin, though his face displayed complete bewilderment, simply nodded and walked out of the room. Stanton floated in his corner for a while wondering if that statement was meant for him. Luckily Serena was there to lend a hand.

"Yes, that was meant for you. Please leave." She said, still under the covers and he silently floated away.

Serena awoke for the second time that morning and looked around. Jimena, she was surprised to see, was coming out of the bathroom. "'Afternoon sleep-head!" she said in a voice that was way too loud and way too cheery.

"Afternoon? What time is it?" Serena asked, putting a hand to her pounding head.

"One forty-five. You slept the day away." Jimena replied.

"I feel like hell" Serena said.

"You look like hell" Jimena put in helpfully, "So here's what you're going to do'" she said, pulling the covers off of her best friend. "You're going to get up, take a shower, wash your hair, dress and then were going out."

"The only place I'm going is back to sleep" Serena said groggily.

"I didn't want to have to do this but… you leave me no choice." Jimena grabbed Serena by the ankles and proceeded, quite roughly, to drag her out of bed and into the bathroom. "Now don't come out of there until you've taken a shower!" she shouted over her shoulder as she closed the door behind her.

Having no other choice Serena silently undressed and got into the shower. When she emerged from the now steamy bathroom she blow dried and styled her hair. She then dressed in a red mini skirt and a white Baby-Tee. She put on her red high cut boots and was about to don her black leather jacket…but then she remembered that it was a gift from Stanton.

What a shame she thought as she replaced the jacket for the red one Collin had given her, I really liked that jacket…now I'll have to burn it! Serena really couldn't believe that Stanton had cheated on her again! And what she was having an even harder time believing was that she had taken him back all the times before. But not this time! Obviously Stanton wasn't ready for a commitment of any kind. Obviously Stanton's good looks had gone to his head. Either that or he just wasn't happy when Serena was happy and felt the need to hurt her over and over again. It just wasn't funny anymore though and Serena refused to take anymore of it.

Anger rose into her chest and with it came a new found determination to get over Stanton. She would show him! Didn't he know that guys were literally kissing her feet? She didn't need him!

She descended the stairs with new purpose and passed Jimena and Collin on the couch on her way to the front door. "Jimena lets go. Collin, don't wait up."
