Another chapter! I don't own Sailor Moon
Mina sat in the waiting room, staring into space. Andrew came over & sat by her. "Something interesting about the wall?" he joked.
Mina blinked & looked up at him. "Huh?"
Andrew smiled. "Nothing."
Mina attempted a smile, but couldn't. She just stared at the wall again.
Andrew decided to not talk to her right now. He was about to get up, when she said. "Do you think he'll survive?"
It took a few moments for Andrew to really make sure she spoke. "I hope so."
Mina looked up at him, sapphire eyes gleaming with unshed tears. "That's not what I asked. I asked, do you think he'll survive?"
Staring down at her sapphire eyes shadowed with fear, lips quivering with horror & couldn't lie to her. "I'm really not sure."
Mina stared at him, then looked down. "I thought so." She began to shake.
Andrew put his arms around her & brought her into a hug. "Shh, it's fine."
Mina let the tears fall down her cheeks & put her head to his chest. "No it's not." Looking up, she said. "What if he does die? What will Serena do?"
Andrew wanted to tell her it would be fine, that Darien will live & that Serena will be fine, but he couldn't lie to her. So he just held her, smoothing her hair & holding back his own tears.
Serena had fallen asleep next to Darien. The nurse came in, & seeing them, backed out of the room. She turned & saw one of her friends.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Just young love." the nurse said, smiling.
Her friend looked puzzled as the nurse walked away, whistling.
An hour later, the same nurse came in & softly shook Serena awake. Serena blinked her eyes open, like a kitten just waking up from a cat nap.
Looking up, Serena saw the nurse smiling at her. "Hello." the nurse greeted.
Serena blinked. "Hello." she greeted back, pushing hair out of her face.
"I'm sorry, but guest hours are over." the nurse said.
Serena looked up at the clock & saw it was 9:00pm. "Wow, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Visiting hours open at 9:00am tomorrow." the nurse said, beginning to clean up.
Serena smiled. "Thank you." She looked over at Darien once more & felt a lone tear fall down her face. "See you tomorrow." She kissed him softly on the lips. She grabbed her crutches & limped out the door.
The nurse stopped cleaning & watched Serena go. Turning back to her cleaning, she glanced at the sleeping Darien & sighed. "I hope he survives. I don't know if that girl will survive without you." She began cleaning again.
Serena limped out & found Mina & Andrew waiting for her. "Hey guys. What's up?"
The two of them stood up, smiling. "Waiting for you." Mina said, walking over to Serena. "Ready?" She said.
Serena nodded. "Yeah."
The two of them walked to meet Andrew & the three of them walked out to Andrew's car.
Serena arrived home 10 minutes later. Turning to the two teens, she smiled. "Thanks. See you later." She shut the door, & limped to the door.
Her mother opened the door & smiled. "Hello, honey. Are you hungry?"
Serena limped in, shaking her head. "No, just tired. You're not mad are you?"
Ikuko shook her head. "No, but I'm here if you want to talk."
"Maybe tomorrow." Serena smiled at her mother.
Ikuko nodded. "Sure. Do you want your father to carry you up?"
Serena nodded. "If he doesn't mind."
"Of course I don't." Kenji comes out & picks up Serena, carefully. They make their way up the stairs, Serena blinking a lot. They finally make it up & Kenji asks, "Do you want me to put you in your bed?"
Serena shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Thank you Daddy. Good night." She kisses his cheek & limps to her room.
Once inside, she sees Luna sleeping on her bed & smiles. "Luna, not having a care in the world. You must be lucky." Serena limped over to her bed & falls asleep immediately, not noticing the fact that she got new mail on her computer.
I'm on a roll! Wow, maybe I should stop for now…Please RR
