Chapter 7
15 minutes later, Gabriela woke up from her unconsciousness and the police were at the apartment. When Gabriela found out what had happen, she cried uncontrollably. One of the cops sat with her, the other sat with Seyia and Serena and the third surveyed the entire apartment, looking for any clues.
"Tell us what happened" The officer sitting with Gabriela asked
"Well," She started, still crying "Mr. and Mrs. Kou left the apartment at about 7:30 pm. They at an 8:30 reservation at the restaurant."
"Which restaurant?"
Gabriela thought a moment before she spoke. "It was Stardust I think…yea that's right."
"Ok." The officer said as she wrote down some notes in her note pad.
"As soon as they left, I checked on the baby. She was sleeping in her crib, so I decided to watch a little TV and I got something to eat. As Mrs. Kou promised, she called every 15 minutes. Everything was fine until…" Her voice trailed off.
"Until what dear?" The officer asked.
"Until the door bell rang." Gabriela paused; she tried to hold back her tears. "I walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. Honestly…"She now spoke a little more franticly, "Had I know what she was going to do, I wouldn't have opened the door. I wouldn't have opened the door!" She no longer had the strength to hold back her tears.
"Who is she? What is her name?"
Gabriela drew in a deep breath and tried to calm down her breathing before she spoke. "Never in a million years I would think she would do what she did. I thought she was their friend…"
"Who?" The officer now sounded anxious to know who it was.
"Her name is…."Gabriela started, "Her name is Savanna Hony. She lives a few apartments down the hall. Room 345"
"Savanna!" Serena shouted. Gabriela jumped in her seat in surprise. She didn't expect for Serena to hear her since she was across the room. "NO! Please tell me that you are not serious! She couldn't…she wouldn't…oh please tell me….No! Noooo!" Serena pleaded.
"Can someone please check Ms. Hony's apartment." The officer sitting with Gabriela said out loud. Two of the officers left the apartment to go to Savanna's apartment, leaving the one behind with Gabriela, Seyia and Serena. The officer turned to Serena. "Do you know Ms. Hony?"
Serena still in disbelief looked up at the officer. "Yes." She whispered. "She's my neighbor. I've known her for a year. Right after we got married, we both moved here. Both her and her husband moved in the same day as us, we became instant friends." She paused and then continued. "She's in her mid 30's…and because of that, I viewed her as the older sister I never had. Someone who was married like me and who could relate. When she heard about the birth, she was as happy as Seyia and I. One day a month ago, I had to run a couple of errands and I couldn't bring Destiny with me. So I asked her to watch her. When I got back, both of them were gone. I went to her house, but before I knocked on the door, I heard her over saying that she was watching over her new baby…I did get Destiny back, I did confront her about what I heard her say, and she would saying how she was just joking around to one of her friends. I…I just put the whole thing in the back of my head. I didn't take it that seriously." She stood up from off the couch and walked over to the window. She looked out of the window as she continued to speak. "I never in a million years would picture her doing this to us."
At hearing what his wife said, Seyia couldn't control his emotions any longer…this was just too much for him to handle, he finally lost his temper and yelled at Serena. "What do you mean you didn't take it seriously!" He stormed over to where she stood, "Some one claims that our baby is their's and you just blew it off!"
"She said she was joking!" Serena cried out turning to face Seyia.
"Joking?" Seyia continued to yell…his eyes filled with anger. Any chance of him controlling his tongue was completely out of the question by this point. "You are…" He started with out thinking, "You are the most irresponsible person I have ever met! I have never ever come across someone as gullible as you! You think that everyone in the whole world has a good heart and good intentions! Well, they don't! What the hell did Darien ever see in you! He must have been a fool to fall for you!" The minute he said those last words, he wished that he could take them back. Too late. Serena's usual calm and inviting blue eyes were now filled with such anger that he had never seen before. Before he knew it, she slapped him so hard he nearly fell to the ground.
"How dare you!" She growled. "Where do you get off talking to me like you're so innocent in this whole thing? Do you really think that this is any more my fault then yours? What about you saying you need me, when I really didn't want to go out tonight? I had a bad feeling…I didn't want to go out!" She was now shaking so badly she fell to the ground crying uncontrollability. "And how could you say that about Darien? I though you were his best friend! You don't know anything at all about my relationship with him! He never once called me on my faults, no matter how angry he was with me. Almost 3 years ago I lost him! And you know what? I'm still not over it! I never will be…never ever! He was my soul mate…my second half! I love him still and I miss him!"
Seyia now drew away from Serena with a hurt look in his eyes. Serena now realizing what she had said, started to apologys but Seyia stopped her before she spoke.
"I was wrong to say what I said." He started calmly, "I honestly didn't mean it at all. But you obviously meant what you said about Darien. You know…I guess in reality I'm the fool. Here I was all this time thinking that you loved me and you don't?"
"Seyia I…" Serena started but was cut off.
"NO!" He yelled, "No! Don't say it! You know you're not sorry! I remember when he was alive and the two of you were together…I was always kidding around saying with him telling him that not even death can pull you two apart. I would never think in my lifetime, that I would be right!" He paused and drew in a deep breath and began to talk calmly. He knelled down in font of his wife and took her face in his hand. He looked into her tear felled blue eyes and saw the pain that was behind them. "I probably would feel the same way as you do…" He whispered, "He still has a place in your heart does he? What about me? Where do I fit in?"
"That's not fair!" Serena cried out as she stood up and drew away form Seyia. "You're not being fair! If I didn't love you, then why did I marry you?"
Seyia stood up him self, as he continued to look at his wife. "To fill in the emptiness in your heart." He said walking towards her. He continued to speak calmly, "Sometimes I could swear that he's still alive, and that's why he's still in your heart. If he truly were gone, by now you would have moved on, the two of you really were meant for each other."
Serena looked deeply into Seyia's eyes. His eyes looked at her with such deep love that she silently wondered if her's looked back with the same love. She knew in her mind that she was in love with Seyia…but he was right, not even death could stop her from loving Darien any less. A smile came across her face. She kissed him softly, "After Darien's death," She started, "You were always there. You helped me through my hardest times…you are the father of our baby. I will always love you and don't ever think I won't. Now our baby is missing, and we need to stick ever closer together!"
"Your right, your're right" Seyia said wrapping his arms around her. "I love you so much, let's never fight like this again…ok?"
"Ok." Serena whispered.
5 months passed since her dauther's disappearance. When the cops finally got permission to search Savanna's apartment, the apartment was cleaned out. They were gone. The cops worked hard to find Seyia and Serena's Daughter but sadly they never found her. A month and a half after Destiny's disappearance, the door bell rang one night. Two officers were at the door. Serena was in the apartment by her self…when she saw the officers she couldn't shake off the feeling. When she opened the door, they conformed her worst nightmare. Seyia was killed in a drunk driving accident, about 2 miles from home. He was not the one drinking…it was a few teenagers. All but the driver of the other car was killed. Serena couldn't control her self, she cried until she couldn't cry anymore. Her whole world…gone.
She was now sitting in her apartment. She thought back on the past few months. She was thankful to have her family and her friends support. But no matter how hard they tried, she was still very much depressed. For someone who was 21 years old, she felt that she experienced it all. She lost not one, but two loves of her life and she lost her only child. She cried a little bit but quickly wiped away the tears. She lost all the strength she had from crying. She decided that she couldn't stay in the apartment any longer, so she decided to step out.
"Hey Luna!" She called out. "Where are you?"
The little black cat walked towards her from the direction of Serena's room. She arched her back as she stretched. "Yes?" She asked in between yawns.
Serena looked out of the window then looked back towards Luna. "Oh Luna, I didn't mean to wake you. It's such a beautiful day out side, I thought maybe we could go out to town and walk around. Do you want to come?"
"Well," Luna began, looking up at Serena, "As long as I don't have to go in that bag of yours, then it doesn't sound like a bad idea."
"No problem at all Luna." Serena said smiling. "Let's go now before it get's too late."
Being that no pet are allowed in any stores, Serena was limited at what she could do. That didn't bother her at all. Before she left the apartment, she packed lunch for her and Luna. Exausted from her window shopping, Serena decided to visit the local park to have her lunch. A both her and Luna were sitting and eating, something caught Luna's eyes and she ran off to find it.
"Luna!" Serena called out, startled by her cat suddenly taking off. It wasn't like her to be like that. "Luna wait!" Serena called out as she quickly packed her stuff and ran after the cat. As she ran, she dogged whoever was in her way. Luna continued to run, paying no attention to Serena commands for her to stop. Serena continued to chase after the cat. All of a sudden, a figure stepped out of the Connor in front of her.
"Nooooo!" She cried out as she ran full speed into the figure.
"Whoa!" He cried out in surprise as both he and Serena were knocked to the ground.
"Why don't you just watch were you're going huh?" Serena said angrily.
"Hey, I should say the same to you!" The young man replied equally upset. As he began to sit up to further tell her off, he gasped in shock and surprise at what he saw.
"What? Cat took your-" Serena started to say as she sat up rubbing her head but she quickly stopped. Her heart nearly stopped. The young man she ran into, he looked like a splitting image of…Darien.
For anyone who LOVES Sayia, forgive me for killing him off, I really didn't want to, I tell ya the truth! But the thing is this...do you really think he would end his marrage with Serena for any reason? And Darien was already back in town...eventually he would have found her right? I don't believe in getting a devorse for no aparent reason sooo... He had go...too bad sooo sad. Stay tuned for the next Chapter! Goodnight!
