The Taylor's

Chapter 7

"Yeah Bridge mom believed the whole story things couldn't have gone better. Serena's grounded until further notice and that will keep her out of my hair for awhile and I'll think of some excuse to get out of detention". Samantha said over the phone to her friend Bridget as the door bell rang.

Samantha looked out the window to see a red sports car parked in the driveway which could only belong to one person Darien Troy.

"Bridget I've got to go you'll never guess who just came here…Darien…I don't know what he wants but I intend to find out. I'll let you know tomorrow at school bye". She said as she quickly hung up the phone and went to answer the door.

"Darien hi what are you doing here did we have a study date or something" Samantha said to him with a bright smile.

Darien looked at her checking out all the cuts and bruises that were forming as he told her "no I just thought I would come by see how you were that was some fight you and Serena had going on at school today".

Samantha shied away from him saying "yes well Serena can be quite a hand full sometimes".

Darien looked at her not believing she was trying to pin the whole fight on Serena as he told her "yeah well from what I saw there were two people throwing punches there Sam". Samantha just laughed telling him "yes well Serena instigated the whole thing I was just trying to defend myself".

At this point Darien started laughing as he told her "you can't be serious did you forget I was there Sam. Andrew and I could barely hold onto the two of you as you were going at each other and from my knowledge Serena was the one who walked away first".

Samantha quickly tried to think of some excuse she could tell him to get him back on her side. When Darien told her "I talked to Rob Peters also, from what he told me you were the one who instigated the fight and also that my name came up quite a few times do you want to tell me what that was all about".

Samantha quickly made up an excuse telling him "you know Darien you shouldn't believe everything you here Serena probably just told that boy to cover for her so she wouldn't get into to much trouble".

Darien laughed telling her "really from what I heard Serena wouldn't help you cheat anymore so you got angry and slapped her".

Samantha looked up at Darien with her puppy dog eyes as she told him "your right Darien I did get caught cheating and I went over to tell Serena I was sorry for using her like I did so many times and to apologize and tell her she would never have to do it again and that I would do all my own homework from now on. But Serena decided to show off in front of Rob saying a bunch of really mean things about me; when all I was trying to do was apologize and I guess I did go a little out of control when I slapped her, but she did throw the first punch".

Darien quickly realized he wouldn't get the truth out of her so he stepped away saying "I have to go to the bathroom excuse me" as he made his way upstairs, but he wasn't planning on going to the bathroom as he walked over to the room where he heard sobs coming from.

Serena's room

Darien opened the door to see Serena on her bed crying as he walked over and put a comforting arm around her then handed her a tissue which she took gratefully.

"Can I ask why you're crying" Darien asked with his most sympathetic look. Serena just looked away telling him "why should I tell you know one believes me why should you be any different".

Darien sat up next to her and looked into her red puffy eyes as he told her "because I already believe you".

Serena looked up at him not sure if she just heard right he believed her over her sister the perfect child in everybody's eyes Samantha; as she asked him to make sure "let me get this straight you believe me but you hardly know me".

He just laughed as he told her "yes well you've always been straight with me since I first met you I know if I ask you who started the fight and what it was about you would give me a straight answer".

Serena for the first time in a longtime smiled as she told him "the fight was about you!"

Darien sat up upon hearing this as he asked her "what about me".

Serena continued telling him "well apparently you found out Samantha's secret that she's been cheating and I was helping her do it. So Samantha figured that I was the one who tipped you off and she got very angry and then everything just kind of exploded from there".

Darien shook his head in understanding knowing now that he had the real story as he asked her "and your mother she has no idea of any of this".

Serena started to cry as she told him "no Samantha told mama some story and she believed it she thinks I started the whole thing".

Darien couldn't believe what he was hearing as he asked her "she believed that crazy story".

Serena looked at him as she told him "she'll believe anything Samantha tells her".

Darien looked at her finding it hard to believe a mother could be so cruel to her child as Darien asked Serena "and what about you, don't you get some say around here".

Serena just laughed as she told him "not with Samantha the golden child here she can do no wrong".

Darien thought some of what he just heard as he asked her "what about your father what does he think of all this".

Serena turned away from him saying "I wouldn't know I haven't seen him since I was four but I take what I'm given and do my best with it and I get by".

Darien put a comforting hand on hers as he told her "yeah well from now on you have me too"
