Chapter 11

Phew … the sight of my apartment door had never seemed as appealing to me as it did at this moment. Getting in quickly, so that nobody would see my useless state, I ran into my living room to topple onto my sofa, not bothering to switch the light on.

I landed like a zombie on it and within a minute … had the worst scare of my pathetic life on this planet when someone screamed into my ear! Getting up abruptly I proceeded to follow on with the scream, I mean it was fucking scary! God knows what beast could make a noise like that!

Someone placed a hand on my mouth, oh great, just after I managed to escape from a lesbian I get trapped by a con. How lucky was I!

"Serena, shut up, it's only us!"

"Who's us," I screamed out loudly as the hand disappeared.

"Raye, you idiot!"

Oh, they could've said that earlier!

"What are you nincompoops doing in my apartment at this time, don't you have better things to do with your life!"

"We were worried about you," Amy supplied simply.

"Oh."

Mina turned on me then, oh damn. "Did ya make out with her?"

"Yip," God, was I embarrassed!

"So … what was it like?"

"Yip," I couldn't say anything else!

"Are you gonna see her again?" I straightened up at that.

"No, we broke up but … we had a mutual understanding," I stated haughtily. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need some rest."

I was about to make my way to my room when Lita started, "Sure, you must be exhausted. I mean, I'm not saying – Christ!" and then Mina kicked her in the shins.

I was exhausted, far from that actually. I was fucking terrified! This business with 'Michelle', what was I thinking! I wasn't a lesbian. I suspected I wasn't even bisexual, as I had thought previously.

I was hell bent on hightailing it out of there when she suggested, quite out of the blue, "Soon, we'll be having you strapping on a twelve inch dildo!" Jesus Christ!

But, I didn't know where the hell I was gonna go after that, I mean, I didn't even have my car with me.

A few minutes of unresponsive behaviour from me, she announced, to my chagrined relief, "I'm really sorry Serena, but I don't think we should do this."

"You wanna break up with me?"

"Um … yeah!"

"But why? What's wrong with me?"

First Darien and now Michelle … uh … wait, rewind. Forget I said that!

Nevertheless, she drove me back to the club where I got my car back and with my hands shaking I went back home.

I toppled back onto the sofa again as a thought entered my muddled up head. "Where's Luna?"

Luna, she was beginning to look much better after the vaccination jabs she'd received from the vet's; less like a drowned rat and more like a cat. The first time Mina had laid eyes on her, she'd grabbed a stool and stood on top of it screaming, "Serena! You've got huge fucking rats in your fucking apartment!"

"Oh, she's sound asleep on your bed, Amy fed her," Lita confirmed.

"Good, now can we just forget about this whole fiasco?" I asked hopefully, putting on full pout mode.

"But Sere, I'm sure your natural in… oh, good, great!" Raye blew out a breath, I heard her mutter a 'phew' under her breath.

"Is May home yet?" I decided to change the subject.

I watched as each of their eyes skittered about, "You really like Darien, don't you Serena?"

I sighed, "I think so."

"Good," Mina finished off.

"So … where's May?"

They all kept their traps shut and continued to stare at me. Oh for God's sake!

Just than my phone beeped, I pulled it out quickly. Ah ha, a message! I opened it and …

Srry, sere, won't b home 2nite,
G'nite n dun w8 up!
Luv May

A picture appeared after that of a topless Darien with his white sheets covering his waist and below but it was quite see-through. He looked like he was asleep and his head was turned away from the camera.

It's like the time Sammy, my long forgotten brother, practically forced me to see when Shin Chan shows his bottom on TV. Yeah, I know he's only a cartoon but at that age I was a VERY impressionable little eight year old. But, obviously this was a whole load worse!

I think I kept on looking at that picture for a long while because by then, the girls were starting to shake my shoulders to ask me what was wrong. I looked up at them and then back at the camera again.

"Raye, what time is it?" I managed to choke out.

"Three, but why …"

And that's when I stared to ball my eyes out. I threw the worthless piece of junk, previously known as my mobile, onto the sofa … of course, I wouldn't throw it at the wall, that'd just end up breaking it and I'm not that dense, even if I was upset.

Mina picked up the mobile to look at it, gasped and then passed it on; I stared at each of their expressions before I stared crying even louder.

"He … he … I … I," God, I couldn't even form a simple sentence!

Amy came over and wrapped an arm around me. "That's it! That girl has hurt us for the last time … now she's gonna pay!"

I looked at her and sniffed … she looked like murder!

"So does that mean you're over Greg?" I asked.

Her shoulders slumped again, "I wish! Ken told me yesterday that he's been in a right state but … I really like Zoicite as well!" and then she stared crying her eyes out.

We all started soothing her, "What about you Raye? Has Jadeite called?" Mina asked finally.

Raye looked at us for a while and then tears started filling up her eyes, "No! I think I'm going to be single forever!"

We all moved on to trying to make her calm down, "Mina?" Lita asked cautiously.

"Well, Kunzite's out of the question, I wouldn't be surprised if I never see him again and well, Andrew … he hasn't asked me out yet and I don't think he is ever gonna!" Mina wailed.

Oh great, now its Mina's turn. All eyes turned to Lita finally.

"Don't look at me," she offered off-handily and then, "Well, you know some men that are animals in bed?"

All our eyes lit up. "Yes!"

"Well, I don't!"

And then we all burst out laughing and crying at the same time, while laying our heads on the cushions lying around; I guess they'll probably need a good wash after we're all done.

Half an hour later, Mina whispered, "We haven't had a sleepover for ages, have we?"

We all nodded our heads in unison.

"I miss it," Amy said.

"Me, too," we all agreed.

"I've got an idea! Why don't we all have a sleepover some time soon, hey?" I asked. "At my place?"

They all cheered up instantly, "That's a great idea," Raye agreed, "How about tomorrow night?"

"Yeah," Lita said, "We're gonna spend the day together anyhow, how about we go straight to yours after that?"

"Great, then it's settled! Sleepover, at my place on Saturday night! Be there or be square!" I stood up triumphantly and threw a 'V' pose at the end just for effect.

Everyone stared at me as if I was crazy. Ok, maybe that was a bit over the top!

Mina grinned evilly, just then. "And then we can work on a plan to get Darien and Serena together," she suggested, quite innocently.

Oh God, no! Not Mina and her matchmaking schemes again … I thought she'd gotten over that stage!
