One Summer

Ch4: Half Empty

Darien's P.O.V.

She's so cute when she's asleep, she's like an angel. Sigh. My angel. Serena what happened between us, and you and the scouts? I want to help you. I still love you. Always have. Maybe I should stay here instead of leaving to Harvard.

I looked at the acceptance letter and sighed. Serena, not now, but later I will make myself worthy of you. Snapping out of my thoughts, I saw tears slowly trickle down her face. Serena, what are you dreaming about that's making you cry?

Serena's Dream and P.O.V.

I was in bleak darkness. Hello? Where am I? I found myself suddenly in my room. Peering at the calendar it was June 11th 2005. No, please, not again! I can't bear reliving that nightmare. I felt tears threaten to fall as I scrambled out of the house to Town Lake. I had to relive it. For my own sake of well being, or just o understand. "Old Benny" the big clock by the pond read 12:35. Just as I expected, it's going to start of at Darien's apartment, not the battle.

I was really dreading going there, but I knew it was a necessity. When it happened I was shocked and the words "I don't love you anymore," rung through my ears in his monotone voice. I had to understand it. When I finished contemplating my thoughts I saw his complex in front of my eyes. Nervously, I darted up the stairs. Crap! How am I supposed to get in? I'll try knocking. Even though it was a pretty stupid idea, until my hand went through the door.

Surprised, I decided to test out my whole body. I walked through to see I was just in time. (AN: Me (or any bolded words) past tense Serena) I watched me sit on the couch and wait for Dariento return. As I remembered hewas retrieving me my promise ring to give back.

Oh! That slimy bastard. And there hewalked in, breathtaking as ever. With his cool, jet-black hair falling over his forehead, thank god still showing his sexy ocean blue eyes. For the first time I noticed all the emotion he held in them on that day. That's odd. And his face held none of his usual smirks or million dollar smiles. Just an unusual callous expression. I was so naïve then not knowing what to expect, but who would of?

I eyed him as he slowly walked to me with his right hand clenching my love underneath. He sat beside me and put his left hand up to stop me from hugging himI felt that familiar pang of hurt in my heart that I have been feeling on a regular familiar basis lately. It finally hit me, it all started here. "Serena…" Instantly I watched my facial expression switch to loving to scared just by the sound of his cold, heartless voice. "I have something to tell you." I tried to take his hand to reassure everything was going to be okay, but he swatted it away.

"I don't love you anymore." Hearing those words I heard the sound of both of our heart breaking. Hecrushed our hearts and returned the symbol of our love into my hands in a small silver box, engraved 'To Darien the love of my life, you hold my love forever with this ring.' I recalled all my tears that day started here. " No, you don't mean it, you love me. We were going to get married, and have kids-"

"Serena, stop making this harder on yourself!" He spat at me with venom dripping from his voice. I gripped the fragile box, and turned away. I observed as he pushed me out of his apartment. I was about to follow myself but I already knew what was going to happen. So I stayed to view him. He slammed the door and slid to his knees. This is going to hurt isn't it? Seeing he really doesn't care. I don't think I'll be able to handle it. I slipped out if his room and headed off to the battle scene

Author's P.O.V.

If Serena stayed a second longer she could of seen Darien starting to cry as he repeated, "I have to make her proud," while he felt his heart ripping.

Serena's P.O.V.

I finally arrived to the battle scene as it begun. Mina and Ray were the first ones to show up. Holding off the butt ugly demon, Lita stormed in with thunder attacks to make her big debut. Following was Amy, dispersing a fog to buy time for the appearance of Sailor Moon. Barely I could make out Ray hitting the call button on her communicator excessively. Suddenly I saw myself make an entrance to the battle scene. As I retain what happened I was trying to pull myself together before I showed up.

"I am Sailor Moon, the champion of love…and justice. And I will defeat you on behalf of the moon and my friends." But I was a little late as Lita was singed, Amy was unconscious, Ray was down, yet still managing to brash me, and Mina was oozing blood. I saw the guilt on my face as my heart yearned for her friend's safety above all. I had to finish off the monster. "Moon…Tiara…Magic!" Surprisingly (well to my old self at least) it absorbed the attack in an invisible barrier as it returned it with twice the strength. I remember this scene all to well as the tiara freshly cut open my skin, and gushed out blood. As I was reliving the battle a bright silver light emerged, and engulfed the whole park.

I woke up, and was befuddled. What was that? I never remembered that happening. My solitary moment was interrupted when the ray's almighty voice full of hate. "Serena! Look at what you have done. WHAT is you PROBLEM?" I could see Lita and Mina struggling to get up and Amy just lying there.

"You almost let Mina die. And look at yourself, you don't even have a scratch on you." Oh my gosh… that's right but what happened to my gash. I saw myself look down at her stomach and gave Ray a quizzical look. Then next hour was a free-for-all fest on pointing out my mistakes and yelling at me between a riled up Ray and a stingy Lita, while waiting for Amy and Mina in the hospital.

I had lied to them and said I had to be home by 11. Who would of wanted to wait for the other two to wake up for all four of them to gang up against me? Suddenly darkness overcame me again as I was back in my room, this time it was today. But there was another me, she was writing something. I peered over her shoulder and read.

(AN: regular font is poem and italics is it translated into Serena's thoughts)

Half Empty

Their hate becomes my truth and starts my downfall

Every fault they told me has come true

Slowly incarcerating my every thought and action into molding me as they portray

Even my mind has become convince of who they see me to be

I wish to stop it, but the seed of destruction has already been planted and now has sprout

It's too late to change my mind, I'm already convinced with negative thoughts

All I can do is fall slave to the one thing I opposed of my whole life, the one thing I never dreamed of being

I am now a bad friend, what I never wanted or thought I could be

Ironic is it now I'm stooped in the essence of it, scarcely you find a way to escape

Funny isn't it? I am a bad friend now, and there it's a bad habit to break

But my hope lost, I accept my fate

I've lost hope, as I accept my failure as a friend

The few, who know of my abused ego, think it's a folly I will overcome

Too bad Rini believes in me, it just makes this harder

They will not accept the truth, or not know of my harts suffering

She can't see what I've been through

So I give up

I give up

I can't fight a battle with no courage, trust in ones self, support, or without a purpose

I can't fight a battle with no courage, trust in ones self, Darien, or without my best friends, they were my purpose

They who wronged me stripped that of me long ago

My purpose is gone, along with them

With that I stand her today looking at myself, or so I thought, but deep inside I knew half of me wasn't there, I was half empty.

Half of me isn't there with the scouts and Darien, I am half empty.

Half Empty… so that's what that emotion is called.

…………………

So that's when everything started if you don't get it. And was that whole dream sequence confusing with the past tense Serena being bolded? Sorry if it was, I didn't know any other why to justify who was who. Oh, and Seiya will play a role in the next chapter… Uh-oh….
