The Taylor's
Chapter 17
Serena opened the door to see her four friends standing in front of her as Rei spoke up telling her "I should be asking you the same thing".
As Lita walked past Serena into the house and the others followed leaving a shocked Serena asking "what are you doing here"
The others walked around the house taking a look at a shrine of what had to be Serena's snobby sister. Mina turned to Serena telling her "were here to help you"
Serena looked to the others as she told them "help me I don't need any help. Now please leave before my mother gets back, if she catches you all here I'm going to get into a lot of trouble, so please leave"
Rei walked over to Serena with a not so happy look on her face as she told her "fine we'll leave but only after you explain to me why Darien called me two hours ago and told me he was going to the prom with Samantha Taylor"
Serena walked away so she wouldn't face the other girls as she told them "there's nothing to say Darien went to the prom with the right girl. Samantha's perfect and I'm just Serena"
Ami walked over to Serena putting a comforting hand on her shoulder as she asked her "do you really believe that Serena"
Lita walked over to the other side of her as she told her "we don't think your just Serena"
Mina spoke in telling her "that's right you have a lot going for you your pretty, smart, funny, and…" At that moment Rei cut in telling her "and you have Darien's heart"
Serena heard what the girls said but it was a lie it had to be she wasn't anything special. Things were better the way they were; she didn't deserve happiness after all she had done. She was the reason her father left, Rob didn't see anything special in her, and Darien was better off without her like her mother said she was going to end up alone.
Then right on cue her mother's car pulled into the driveway as Serena started to panic her mother would flip out to see four strange girls in the house.
She turned to the girls quickly telling them "you have to leave right now my mother's home" but she was to late Rose opened the door and walked inside.
Without a word she walked into the living room eyeing the four girls who she did not know who were standing in her living room; as she turned to her daughter asking "Serena did I say you could have company"
Serena sheepishly shook her head as she told her "no Mama but I…"
Before Serena even got the chance to explain Rose was screaming telling her "Serena I did not say you could have company over now did I"
Serena turned her head as she told her "no mama but they came over to surprise me I had no idea they were coming really"
Rose looked to the four girls as she asked them "is that your idea of a surprise barging into other people's houses"
The four girls looked to Rose like she was crazy as Ami spoke up trying to take some of the blame off of Serena as she told her "Mrs. Taylor where sorry really we are but Serena didn't have any idea we were coming it's like she said it was a surprise"
Rose looked to the girls as she asked "you're the ones aren't you? You're the people who keep putting these crazy ideas in my daughters head, you're the bad influence" she then turned to Serena as she told her "Serena you are not to see any of these girls ever again do you understand me"
Rose turned to the four girls as she said bluntly "you have done enough damage here I think you should all leave".
Serena watched as her friends, the only friends she ever really had started to walk to the door, she then turned quickly telling her mother "I'm sorry mama but your wrong these girls are my friends and I don't want them to leave"
Rose looked to her daughter surprised as she told her "Serena are you deaf did you not here what I said, I never want you to see these girls again"
Serena walked over to her mother telling her "no mother I'm not deaf and I'm not letting you chase away the only friends I've ever had"
At that moment the four girls walked up beside Serena as Rei whispered to her "where right beside you Serena"
Serena smiled at her friends as she told her mother "I don't care what you think mother I'm through with listening to you. I have tried so hard to be a good daughter but it just doesn't matter to you, nothing I do matters because I'm not your precious Samantha, but I am still your daughter"
Rose gave Serena a dirty look as she told her "my daughter, you are not my daughter, no daughter of mine would treat me with such disrespect"
Lita started screaming telling her "the only one who's treated with disrespect is Serena".
Serena stepped in front of Lita telling her "Lita I know you mean well but please let me do this, she is my mother after all"
Serena turned to her mother and stopped to look at her as she told her "mother I'm not perfect I know that, I'm also smart enough to know that nobody is perfect, but I do know that the way I am being treated is not fair. Things have to change now. I am not the person you think I am, I don't start fights in school, the only fights I do have are the ones Samantha starts and I'm also the reason Sam is doing well in school, and that's because I do all her assignments for her; but that all stops I'm through. I'm done with putting everyone else ahead of me it's time for me to be happy. I found a man who makes me feel good about myself but I was so afraid of what everyone else would do I ruined my chance to be happy, and if he'll still have me I'm going to go to him and I'm going to start a new life, you can be apart of it or not but don't stand in my way.
Serena turned around and walked upstairs with the other girls following as Rose yelled up to her "Serena you come down here this minute or I'll come up there do you here me, Serena you don't want me to come up there do you". She heard Serena's door close and lock then Rose looked up the stairs and sat down in quietly.
45 minutes later
The girls all walked down the stairs as Serena started to come down in a beautiful long gown. Rose stood up asking her "so where do you think you're going all dressed up"
Serena looked to her as she said "I have some place to be and I'm running late good night mother"
Rose grabbed onto Serena's arm as she told her "don't even think about it, I know what you plan to do you want to get between Samantha and Darien don't you, well I'm not going to let you"
Serena took her mother's hand away as she told her "I'm just setting things right, if Darien chooses to be with Samantha then I'll walk away, but I can't let it be without ever knowing the truth. Good night mother"
Serena started to walk towards the door as Rose yelled to her "Serena if you walk out that door don't even think about coming back, ever"
Serena walked out the door without looking back.
End Chapter 17
