Serena's POV

Things were not going as I had hoped they would. How on earth did things turn out this way? As I ran out of the restaurant and down the block, my thoughts turned back to last night, when he confessed his feelings for me. It turned back to when I was at the restaurant and I saw the look in his eyes. A look that I have never seen before, that I never want to see again. Of course I loved him. With all of my heart, yet now I wonder if we even have a second chance. Is it really over? Did I blow my chances before I even had a chance?

NO! I mentally scold myself. I couldn't be negative…maybe just maybe…what? This was not good. No matter how I looked at it…it really did not fall nicely in my favor. Seyia must have seen Darien and I kissing. It was just like when I saw Darien kiss that girl…

I gasped in realization and horror. Just like Darien. That sentence echoed in my mind. I remembered back to when I saw him kissing that girl. I was very upset…I felt betrayed, hurt, confused…nothing came good out of it. It was the cause of our relationship ending. Have I ended my relationship with Seyia before it even had a chance to begin? I felt this sudden warm wetness on my cheeks. How long have I been crying for? Just then I took the time to see my surroundings. I was at the park. Subconsciously I had walked to the only place that brought me at peace. I sat down on the nearest bench. I felt so weighted down by all of the problems that I was now experiencing. Just when I thought I had finshed crying, I started all over again.

When I finshed with my second round of tears, I noticed that I was no longer sitting by myself. I mentally kicked myself for making such a public display of my problems. I quickly tried to fix myself up, just incase the person next to me didn't notice my tears.

"I think when a girl has to cry, she should. Holding in your emotions is bad for your health." Said a very familiar voice. I turned my head to the side slightly to see who was talking to me. My eyes widen in shock at who I saw.

The person sitting next to me returned my surprised look with a warm smile, seeing their smile seemed to make me feel some what better. "How long were you sitting there for?" I asked with a curious look written across my face.

"I was just walking around and saw you sitting there. You looked so upset…I was worried." The warm smile never left as their face as they continued to speak. "What's wrong? Why were you crying?"

I turned my gaze to the lake in front of me before I spoke. I was still trying to put it all together, it wasn't easy to explain but I started to speak any way. "Do you remember us talking last night about Seyia?" Once I received a nod, I continued. "Well….I saw your brother earlier…it was not good at all."

Talki's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What happened?" He asked curiously.

Just recalling the earlier events started to make tears well up in my eyes. "Well, after we spoke last night…Darien called." I paused. I turned to look at Talki only to see that he gave me a shocked look. I swallowed hard as I continued. "Well, we spoke for a little bit. He was apologizing to me about what had happened earlier. Towards the end of the conversation, he asked if we could meet up today…just to talk further."

"What did you say to him?" Talki asked. The look on his face changed from a shock look to a more neutral look.

"I hesitated at first. I was really upset at him and I didn't want to see him again, however I changed my mind." I bit my lower lip…should I continue? I wondered to myself. I shook my head as if to shake away the thought. Talki is always the understanding type when it came to me and Sayia. I decided to continue. "Well, Darien and I met today. We were at a café, not too far away from here. At first we were talking and laughing…just like old times. Then I recalled the reason why we where there in the first place. I bluntly told him that we couldn't continue on. Yet, he didn't really let me finish my sentence. The next thing I knew, he held me in an embrace as he begged me not to utter the words I was going to say. Then…we…kissed." I looked over at Talki. He still had that neutral look on his face. He nodded his head as if to tell me he was still listening. I really wondered what he was thinking about at that moment. "Just as be broke from our kiss, I heard him call out my name. When I turned around, it was Seyia. I've never seen him with the look that he had given me. Before I even had a chance to say a word to him, he ran off. I was so shocked, hurt and upset that I just blew up at Darien…I made it very clear to him that it was over. But…now my fear is that my chances to be with Seyia might be a case of too little too late." When I finished, I gave a deep sigh. After all was said and done, I was wondering what was going through his mind. He was silent for a while after I spoke.

"Wow…" He said in a low voice. I turned to see the look on his face. It was kind of hard to read his expression so I had no idea what he was thinking about. He turned to look at me and continued to speak. "Serena…this is…complicated." He looked striate ahead. Again he was silent for a moment. It seemed as if he was trying to gather the right words to say. I was anxiously waiting for what he would say. "I'm sorry for not spilling out the words." He said when he saw the nervous look on my face. He smiled as he continued. "It's just that…the two of you are encountering too many misunderstandings…many of which are surrounded around Darien."

"Yea I know that…but I'm so confused, I don't know what to do." I sighed.

"Serena…you have to talk to him. There is nothing that I could say or do about the matter." Tilki spoke softly. He placed an arm around my shoulder as he continued to speak. "I wish that you two didn't have to suffer like this…but maybe…just maybe this is a test of your love for each other. If you pass, then you two are really meant for each other."

I rested my head on his shoulder as I smiled. I let out a sigh as I thought of how lucky I was to have him as a friend. "You know, I love talking to you just as much as I love talking to the girls. You guys really know what to say at the right time." I said as I lifted my head and looked at him.

"I'm glad to make you happy Serena." He said with a warm smile still across his face. He lifted his arm from off my shoulder and stood up to face me. He looked down at me as he continued to speak. "I've got to go Serena. Take care and I hope with all of my heart that thing go well between you and my brother."

"Thank you." I stood up and gave him a huge hug. We parted from our hug and he backed away. I waved goodbye to him and watched as he walked out of the park. I must have sat there for a good while since the sun was starting to set. I stood up and stretched out my arms over my head. I took in a deep breath of the cool night's air. For the longest time I was so happy. I finally had hope that things would actually go right for Seyia and I. I knew it deep in my heart. It just wasn't love, I was in love with Seyia…completely. I couldn't live my life without him.
