Serena's P.O.V
Ugh. It's 11am already.
I sighed as I heaved myself out of bed and lookedout of th window.
Well, th sun was shining, the sky wasblue...
gees cheesy line or what?
Sounded like one of my old Sailor Moon speeches.
I shuddered at the thought.
Sooocringey!
A snore came fromthe black fluff ball asleep on my chair.
Ha. Typical.
Look who's waking who up now.
Bloody cat.
Not that I don't love her.
Naa, she's just irritating.
And a bloddy loud snorer!
I took a shower and it really woke me up.
Making me remember the past weeks events.
Aaron. Ugh.
And me. Ugh.
How did I let it get this far?
Stupid meatball head I am.
I turned my TV on as I got dressed.
YES! Friends was on.
My god do I love that programme.
Sigh. They're all so lucky.
I'd love to live like Monica and Rachel, in that big New York apartment with the really, really beyond fab jobs and all the fun they have….
What was I doing again?
Ah yes getting dressed, right.
What shall I wear today?
Hmm. What. Shall. I. Wear?
Half an hour later, I had on my skinny, skinny black jeans, Save Ferris tank top and black pearls.
Oh yeah along with my black Rhine stone boots.
In other words I looked fab.
Hehe. I love that word.
"Morning sweetheart. Do you want something to eat? I made chocolate pancakes." My Mom asked as I walked into the kitchen.
I looked her as if she'd gone mad.
Did she not hear my whole 'I'm on a fat- free, chocolate-free, well anything sweet-free diet.' Speech.
I swear that went on for at least half an hour.
And you know what?
My Dad had the cheek to laugh when I said I wasn't going to eat chocolate for like two weeks.
Ha. Well, I'm gonna show him.
"Right. No chocolate," chucked Mom as she went back to flipping the pancakes.
Ooh, they smelt sooo good.
But no. I had to be strict.
Oh maybe just one.
Okay, I had to stop myself. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
I walked out the front door and immediately regretted it.
Guess who it was.
Well actually you probably wont guess cos I haven't actually seen him in months, well, weeks maybe.
But hey.
Same differnce really.
Well, lets just say big glasses, very much on the geeky side, high squeaky voice.
You got it yet?
Okay, okay I'll put you out of your misery.
It was Melvin.
AndIt was Melvin drooling.
Not a very pretty sight in the morning I have to say!
"Err. Melvin. What are you doing here?" I asked as I closed my front door.
"W-well, I heard you got a make over and Molly was erm, she was busy so she c-couldn't come over and see, I mean ask… you.
And well, she asked, well not asked made me come down here, and erm, check you out.
Ooohh no. I didn't mean like that I meant… oi." He sighed as he hung his head with embarrassment.
His cheeks were now the same colour as my bright red lipstick. Nice.
"Okay Melvin.
I gotcha.
Molly wanted to say if the rumours were true and was too busy so got you to come see instead?" I asked.
"Err-err, well, yes, something like that." He stuttered.
"Why are you stuttering you were fine around me a few weeks ago."
"We-well, you've changed." He replied meekly.
I actually felt kinda sorry for the dude.
Poor little thing.
Bless him. Eww.
Did I just actually say that about Melvin?
Eww. Eww. Double Eww.
What did Molly see in the guy?
I mean he was nice and all but seriously, worms and people just aren't a good mix are they?
"I know, Melvin I know.
Sorry I was so harsh.
But I guess you got your answer, I have changed and I'm proud of myself.
Tell molly I'll phone her kay? Sorry I gotta run."
Away from you.
I ran as fast as my heels would carry me.
Which was actually really slow, and I looked like a spaz.
And man did it hurt. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
Damn things. Ooh that reminds me.
I still need to mention that stupid broken toaster in the attic.
I mean, seriously what is the point in that thing?
Not meaning to be a broken record but…
Hold on a second. Is that?
Is that Darien?
He had his head bowed over his coffee and looked like he'd gotten no sleep at all.
His clothes were a mess, he NEEDED to shave and he looked… depressed.
I walked into the arcade and sat down next to him.
Leaning right over and looking at him.
"Hellooooo? Darien? Anyone in there?" I asked as I knocked on the side of his head.
Haha. I'm so funny. Get it?
Cos I thought his head was empty.
Okay. That jokes just too old.
"Daarieeen." I said in a sing songey voice as I clapped my hands in front of his face making him knock his coffee over in surprise.
Oopsie. Hehe.
"WHAT?" He shouted almost knocking me off my feet.
Whoa. Guess I really touched a nerve there.
"Oh. Sorry." I giggled nervously as I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.
"Well you should be." He huffed as he got a tissue and started wiping up the coffee.
"Here let me help." I offered, feeling really, really bad.
"No thanks. You've done enough." He mumbled.
"You sure?" I asked again.
"Gees how many times do you have to be told. NO THANK YOU." He replied sarcastically.
That was it. I said sorry.
What was up with him?
He'd never talked to me like that before.
I could feel tears forming in the corners of my eyes.
I held them in. It was no time to become that immature cry-baby again.
"Darien what's wrong?" I asked quietly.
"Nothing." He replied roughly.
"Yes there is. Why are you so upset?"
"I think you know why Serena."
What?
Okay, I may not be the smartest person here.
But what the hell was he on about?
"No. No I don't know why Darien. Please tell me."
He looked me in the eye then started laughing.
"You're completely clueless aren't you?"
He put on a high pitched voice.
"Ooh Aaron I love you. Ooh Aaron I need you. Ooh Aaron!"
Huh?
I didn't know what to say.
I think about thirty two different expressions ran across my face before he carried on.
"Well you know what Sere? Go to him. If you want him so much."
"What Aaron? But Dare, nothing happened." I cried.
"Whatever."
"Darien. Please, believe me. Nothing happened. How did this idea even get into your head?"
"A friend of mine saw you with your new lover boy.
You were hugging him then you kissed him on the cheek.
He said you looked really happy. The both of you."
"And you really believe that?
You believe that after all we've been through, break ups, battles that I would go and cheat on you.
You know I'm not like that." I cried, defending myself.
Where was he getting all this from?
I hugged Aaron but there was no kiss on the cheek.
Whoever told Darien this was gonna get his ass kicked… by Lita. Hehe.
"Well, Sere I don't know what to believe anymore.
I mean you never told us about this." He sighed pointing to my hair and outfit and also the guitar case that I was carrying.
Hehe forget to mention that I got my guitar fixed didn't I?
Sorry.
He continued. "So you could be hiding anything."
I looked him in the eye.
He was dead serious.
"Well. Believe whatever shit you want to.
But I know that it's not true and that's all that matters.
If you cant even trust me, you're soul mate. Then who can you trust?"
"Ha. Soul mates. I used to believe in that you know." Laughed Darien sarcastically.
Damn, he could be nasty when he needed to be.
What happened to my muffin?
The one that used to be start struck every time I came into the room?
The one that used to treat me like a princess… sometimes anyway?
"Right. Whatever. What are you trying to say Darien?" I asked, finding it really hard to keep myself form crying.
"It's over." He said softly as he looked me in the eye, got up and walked out.
Leaving me in shock.
I didn't know what to say.
What to think.
What to do.
It all happened so quickly.
One minute he was sitting there the next minute he was breaking up with me.
Then he was gone.
I felt like I'd died inside.
"Serena? You okay?" Asked Andrew who had just come out from the back room.
"He… what… why…no…why…he…oh my god."
"What? I can't understand you Sere.
What happened? Hey where'd Darien go?"
Hearing his name made me break down into sobs.
And you know what?
This time I really didn't care who was watching.
"Serena?" Andrew put his arm round em and lead me into the back room.
"He…(sob)…broke…(sob)…up…(sob)…with meeee." I cried as I fell down onto the couch and dropped my head into my hands.
"What?" He asked sounding even more shocked than I was.
I looked up at him with teary eyes and nodded, before breaking down again.
How could this happen to me?
I mean first that damn stupid broken toaster hurting my foot.
Which by the way is bruised… badly.
Then Aaron tells me he has feelings for me.
Totally confusing me about my feelings for him.
Then Melvin turns up, and lets just say he really smelt bad, not a very nice thing to have to experience really.
And now, now this.
Why?
Why me?
"But why?" Asked Andrew as he sat down next to me.
"Someone told him I'd been cheating on him."
"And had you?"
"WHAT? First him and now you?
What kind of person do you take me for?
So I had feeling for an old friend of mine, but we agreed to put them behind us cos I loved Darien so much." I sobbed.
"Oh Sere, I'm so sorry. I really don't know what to say."
I heaved and started crying again.
Life can just be pure and utter shit sometimes.
Hiya people I know that was a lot more serious than the other chaps, but I hope you all liked it.
Tell me what you think by reviewing please! Means a lot!
Thanks for reading
