The Taylor's

Chapter 22

Darien immediately rushed to Serena's side as he looked up to Rose and asked "what's going on up here, what have you done"

Rose looked to Darien as she told him "this is a family matter young man I would like you to stay out of it"

Darien felt Serena quiver beside him in fear and knew they would have to drag his dead body away before he left Serena alone again with these people. So he turned to Rose as he told her "I'm not going anywhere without Serena. I don't know what your problem is, but you have some serious issues and I should report you to the authorities, actually I think that's exactly what I'm going to do"

Darien took out his cell phone, but before he got the chance to dial; the phone was knocked out of his hand as he looked to Serena and asked "why"

Serena looked to Darien's caring face as she told him "she's my mother"

Darien gently touched Serena's bruised face still not knowing exactly how it got that way but knowing without a doubt it had something to do with Serena's loving mother as he told her "Serena look at your face, she did this to you, she deserves to go to jail for a very long time, it's a crime what she did"

Serena started to tear up as she told him " don't you think I know that" Serena stumbled to get to her feet as Darien helped her up and she turned to her mother as she yelled "why…why are you like this, you're my mother you're suppose to love me the way I love you. I hate the fact that I can't just turn off my feelings for you. All I wanted was a normal family; was I such a bad kid, did I really deserve to be treated this way. I can't turn back time, and make things better but I do have a chance for a decent future please just let me go. Stay out of my life and let me have a chance at happiness. Please just let me go"

Rose stood up to her daughter as she told her "let you go Serena, you are still my daughter and I will not just let you go out on your own to show the whole world what kind of terrible mother you have. When you turn eighteen you can leave but until then you will be living under my roof and following my rules now do I make myself clear young lady?"

Serena was about to answer when a voice from behind her said "let her go if she wants to go, let her. Let her make her own choices mother. If she screws up her life it will be her own screw ups. Then we won't have to worry about her anymore and she'll be out of our hair"

Rose looked to her oldest daughter shocked that she would hear such a thing as she told her "Samantha how why you say such a thing Serena is your sister we are a family"

Sam looked to her mother as she told her "where a broken family mother; ever since father left things have never been the same. I should have said something sooner and I'm sorry but do the right thing now mother and let her go"

Serena looked to Sam shocked as she told her sister "thank you"

Sam looked to Serena as she said "I know we have our differences and I don't know if things ever have a chance of ever changing but they definitely won't if we stay like this, besides I don't think I could bear one second of seeing you and Darien together"

Serena gave her sister a nod of understanding as she turned to her mother and asked "mother will you let me go, can I have a chance at a brighter future"

Rose looked to her two daughters standing before as tears started to come to her eyes as she told them "it was never suppose to be like this, I tried to be a good mother and I failed all I ever wanted was to give my children the best life possible".

Serena looked to her mother as she told her "you did, you gave Sam a wonderful life, she has everything she's ever wanted but now it's my turn you have a chance of giving me the best life possible by letting me go and staying as far away from me as possible. That's what I want a chance to start over away from both of you. I realize now that I'll never have the normal loving family I've always wanted so please at least do me this much and leave me alone."

Rose looked to her youngest daughter as she told her "if that is what will make you truly happy, than get your stuff and leave"

Serena without thinking twice went to her room packed a few close belongings as Darien took the bag out to the car.

He began to walk down the stairs as he noticed Serena wasn't following him as he asked her "aren't you coming"

Serena gave him a bright smile as she told him "go ahead I'll catch up in a minute". Darien wasn't really sure that was the best of ideas but he still went anyway.

Serena turned around and walked to her mother's bedroom as she knocked on the door and walked inside to see her mother sitting in a chair facing the window as she told her "I'm leaving now I just thought I would come and say good-bye before I go"

Rose without looking back towards her just said "there is nothing to say I no longer have a youngest daughter"

Serena put a smile on her face as she told her mother "thank you" then closed the door as she walked down stairs to see Samantha sitting on the couch and laughed as she told her "well you got your wish, now you are an only child, by the way nice acting job with mom upstairs, it almost looked like you gave a dam"

Sam looked to Serena as she told her "yeah well now you have what you want and I have what I wan, so get lost and don't come back". Serena smiled to her sister as she told her "with pleasure" as she walked out the door and slammed it behind her; Ready to start her new life not sure where it may lead but knowing it had to be better then this place.
