Chapter 16

The door bell rang as Rose Taylor yelled from the banister "Serena get off your lazy butt and answer the door"

Serena in her bath robe and slippers got up from the couch and walked over to answer the door, just to see Darien standing there in his tuxedo and he looked so good.

They stood there for a moment not sure what to say to each other. When her mother screamed from upstairs "Serena who's at the door"

Serena turned around and yelled up to her "Darien's here" she turned back to him and asked "would you like to come in, Samantha will be right down"

Darien looked at her wanting nothing more then to reach out and hold her in his arms when he told her "yeah thanks, is Samantha almost ready to go"

Serena turned around so she wouldn't face him as she said "I'll go check"

She ran up the stairs to Samantha's bedroom and knocked on her door when she heard her say "come in"

Serena opened the door to see her sister standing in front of a full length mirror looking absolutely beautiful in her prom dress; and as much as she tried to deny it she knew Darien was going to the prom with the right person.

She smiled to her sister as she told her "Sam you look absolutely beautiful. I know we have had our problems in the past but I really do hope you have a good time tonight"

Samantha turned to her sister wondering what she was up too and said "thank you I'm sure I will"

Serena told Samantha Darien was waiting down stairs and she was about to walk out of the room but she turned around and asked her sister "one last thing Sam please treat Darien good tonight, he's a really great guy and I don't want to see him get hurt okay" and with that she walked out the door and to her own bedroom where she lied down and cried.

Samantha took one more look in her mirror deciding that she looked perfect you couldn't mess with perfection after all; then walked down stairs to see Darien standing there with what looked to be an orchid corsage in his hands.

Samantha slowly walked down the stairs when Darien turned around to see her, she looked beautiful. He then walked over and took her hand helping her down the last few steps as he told her "you look enchanting tonight Samantha"

Samantha blushed as she looked at the corsage in his hands as she asked him "is that for me"

Darien took the corsage in his hand as he told her "yes it is" as he put it on her wrist.

Samantha was glowing she knew this would be the perfect night she had it all, she had Darien and knew she would be crowned prom queen, she won.

Rose Taylor came running into the room with a camera in her hand as she turned to Darien telling him "you are a very lucky man Darien getting to go to the prom with my daughter"

Darien turned to Rose telling her "I'm just lucky I guess" wishing that he was going tonight with her other daughter.

Rose smiled at the happy couple as she pulled out the camera telling them to get closer and for Darien to put his arm around Samantha.

Darien did as he was told and they both stood together smiling as Rose took the picture.

Just as the camera flashed Serena came walking down stairs as Rose yelled out "Serena what do you think your doing you just ruined the picture".

Serena looked to her sister and Darien who were standing together with his arm wrapped around her tight as she told them "I'm sorry I didn't mean to get in your way but have a good time tonight".

Serena walked down the staircase and to the kitchen when Rose spoke up telling her "Serena you know some day if you ever learn to behave you'll be able to get a great guy just like your sister did and then you'll get out of my hair and be someone else's problem"

Darien couldn't believe what he just heard. He saw Serena's face as she heard her mother's words, she was completely crushed.

Serena turned around burying her face in her hands so no one would see her cry as she ran to the kitchen. At that moment Darien wanted nothing more then to wrap his arms around her and tell her mother what a horrible person she was but instead he stood there and kept his mouth shut as he watched Serena run off.

Samantha turned around and started laughing, she was laughing Serena was in tears and she was laughing about it. Maybe this was a big mistake Samantha hadn't changed at all, but what could he do about it. He and Serena weren't together and it was all because she didn't want to be. So instead Darien wrapped his arm around Samantha and asked her if she was ready to leave.

Samantha nodded her head yes as they walked out the door with Rose following them with the camera as they started to get into the car and drive away.

All the while Serena stood looking out the window, they looked so happy together as she thought to herself "I guess this is it, this is how it will always be Sam will always win and I'll be by myself"

At that moment Rose Taylor walked in the door as she turned to Serena telling her "I know what you've been up too"

Serena looked to her mother in complete shock as she asked "What"

Rose turned to her saying "you were trying to get between Samantha and Darien. I'm not blind Serena I know what you were trying to do, but luckily Darien could see your little tricks and he is going out tonight with the right girl."

Serena couldn't believe what she just heard her mother knew about her and Darien, but of course she would still take Samantha's side in all this. The poles were in life was officially unfair for Serena Taylor.

Serena turned around and began walking back upstairs to her room as she heard her mother yell up from down stairs "Serena I have to go out for awhile stay out of trouble while I'm gone"

An hour later

Serena lied on her bed as she watched She's All that with a bowl of popcorn in her arms as she cried her eyes out, and cursing all the boys in the film, as the door bell rang.

Serena got off her bed mumbling and grumbling something about disturbing her movie as she walked down stairs and opened the door asking "what are you doing here".
