The Taylor's

Chapter 21

Serena looked him in the eyes as she started to laugh "what is this some sort of joke huh, you love me sure Darien- just earlier you didn't ever want to see me again and now you love me. I don't have time for these silly high school games please just leave me alone"

Serena shoved her way past Darien as he yelled out to her "your afraid is what you are, you have someone staring you right in the face telling you they love you and you don't know what to do, so you're running away."

Serena took a deep breath and walked back over to Darien as she got up into his face and asked "afraid, what in the world do I have to be afraid of"

Darien looked her in the eyes as he told her "somebody telling you they love you and actually meaning it, or maybe it goes even further then that maybe you're more afraid that you actually love me back."

Serena couldn't believe what she just heard as she questioned him "me being afraid to love that's preposterous, it's the craziest thing I've ever heard why would I be afraid of love"

Darien told her straight out "because you've been living without it for so long now that it's right in front of you, you don't know what to make of it, so your running"

Serena started to get annoyed with him as she told him "I am not running I just can't stay here"

Darien came up closer to her as he asked "why not"

Serena turned around to look at him as she told him "because I was kicked out okay, that's where love gets you homeless with no family. I took a gamble on love and what do I have to show for it absolutely nothing"

Darien came up close as he put a hand on her shoulder and asked "what's going on, please trust me Serena let me help you"

Serena looked him right in the eye as she asked "why should I"

Darien came up close to her as he told her "because whether you believe it or not I do love you Serena, please tell me what's going on"

Serena looked into his perfect blue eyes once again as she told him "my mother kicked me out. I have no where to go, no family, and no love to show for it"

Darien saw the tears that started to form in Serena's eyes as he took out his cell phone and dialed a number "Hi Rei it's me Darien do you still have that extra room"

Serena could hardly believe what she was seeing as she started to wave to Darien she told him "Darien no I don't want to be a bother to her please"

A few moments later Darien hung up the phone and turned to Serena as he told her "it's already settled Rei had spoken to her grandfather before I called, the rooms yours Serena and there delighted to have you stay with them"

Serena could hardly believe what she just heard is it possible things could be that easy, that something might actually go her way for once. Darien turned to her and asked "so what about the rest of that, your family well personally I think your better off without them, and love is standing right in front of you. Now I'm going to ask you again Serena I will tell you that I love you once more, you don't have to say it back right now, but know that when you are ready I will still feel exactly the same way".

He walked up close to her taking her hand in his, he told her "Serena I love you"

Serena turned to him as the tears escaped from her eyes, she told him "Darien I love you too"

Before she got the chance to finish telling him Darien had her in his arms so tight he never wanted to let her go, and if it was planned right at that moment all the rain stopped but neither one noticed, they were to carried away by the kiss that they shared.

After they parted Darien took Serena's hand in his as they walked back to the house and rung the door bell. Serena could feel her whole body start to shake as Darien held onto her hand tighter.

When the door opened Sam was on the other side with a silly grin on her face she told her sister "mother would like to speak with you Serena"

Serena knew whatever her mother had to say to her wouldn't be good as she took a look up to the top of the stairs where she saw her mothers shadow lurking about.

Serena looked to Darien and she knew this was something she had to do on her own so she turned to him and said "I'll be right back"

Serena started to walk away but Darien didn't let go of her hand, he asked her "are you sure that's such a good idea"

Serena just shook her head as she told him "don't worry I'll be alright"

Serena walked up the stairs when Sam turned to Darien and asked "so how long has this been going on huh, were you seeing my sister behind my back the whole time. Darien I can't believe this, maybe from Serena but you Darien cheating on me with my own sister and why Serena of all people she's"

Darien started to laugh as he told her "definitely not you, Samantha it's time you meet reality. We were never going out, I took you to the prom and that was a mistake, but it wasn't you who I was cheating on. I was trying to get over Serena it's her, it's always been her, it will always be her, there is no or ever was an us got that"

Samantha stuck her nose up at Darien as she told him "I think you should leave my house Darien you're not welcome here, please leave"

Darien turned to her and was about to say something when he heard a scream from upstairs. He turned around and went rushing up the stairs to see Serena lying on the floor with her mother standing over her.
