Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, I was moving and stuff and had to wait for the Internet people to come and set up the Internet in my new house. So anyway here's the new chapter!

The next day, Serena checked up on Darien periodically. Ever since he woke up, well, faked waking up; Serena spent every shift with him, even if it was time for her lunch break or time for her to go home.
Darien loved the attention he was getting from her. She'd bring him meals and books if he got bored and snuck him things he wasn't supposed to eat or drink. She was really nice to him. Once he was released, Darien decided he would ask her to be his girlfriend and ask her to go out on a date with him.
Once day, Serena sat at his bedside, reading a romance novel, while he watched the little T.V. that sat in front of his bed. Darien decided to ask her now. 'No better time than now.' He thought as he cleared his throat so she would look up at him. "Yes, Darien?" She asked as she put her bookmark in the place she was reading and sat the book down. Darien almost lost his nerve but then got it back. "D..do...do you...do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, hoping what her answer would be. Serena looked at him, not really knowing what to say to him. 'Should I tell him that I'm going out with Allen? Or should I tell Darien no and break up with Allen? I don't know what to do.' Serena thought as Darien looked at her with hopeful eyes. She knew what to say now, but before she could say it, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Hello, Serena." Said a very deeply chilling voice. She turned around to see Allen staring down at her and smiling. 'Oh god, not that creepy smile.' Serena thought as she shivered. He looked away from her to Darien, who, for some unknown reason, was glaring at Allen. So, Allen glared back and then looked back down at Serena. She smiled weakly. "Serena, you have an off duty day tomorrow, why don't you come and spend time with your BOYFRIEND!" he said boyfriend loud enough to where Darien could hear. Darien's heart sank. 'It figures she has a boyfriend. She's too beautiful to not have one.' Darien sighed. 'If only it were I.' He thought sadly as Serena looked to him with desperate eyes, but he didn't see.
"I'm sorry Allen, I have other plans." She said as she looked to Darien, smiling. "Oh, alright then, I'll be seeing you around." He said as he glared once more at Darien before he left. Serena looked at Darien who looked as if he had just been stabbed in the heart. She frowned. "What is it you wanted to ask me, Darien?" She asked sweetly. He shook his head.
"Nothing. You sort of just answered my question back there with your boyfriend." He said sighing heavily. Serena laughed. "You mean Allen. He only assumes that I'm his girlfriend. I don't really consider myself as his girlfriend." She said. Darien's eyes lit up with hope again. "Then, why don't you break up with him?" He asked. She sighed. "Because he obsessive and I don't know what he will do if I do. He said if I did manage to find someone else, that then, and only then could I break up with him." She said as she looked to the floor. Her hands were in her lap.
Darien reached over and took her hands in his. "Serena, do you have any feelings towards me at all, even little ones?" he asked. She slowly nodded. "Yes, but what does that have to do with..." He interrupted. "Then, since you do have feelings for me, why not be my girlfriend and break up with Allen?" He asked, still holding her hands in his.
She felt a warm feeling shoot though her from the soft grip of his hands. She blushed and looked into his soothing ocean blue eyes. "Yes, I...I want to be your girlfriend, Darien, right after I break up with Allen." She said as she got up out of the chair and looked at him once again. He looked at her stunned. "Y..yo.You really mean that?!" He asked as she smiled and nodded.
"In fact, I'm going to go do it right now." She said as she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Darien slightly blushed. Serena walked out of the room, unbelievably happy and blushing. She closed Darien's door. But as soon as she closed it, she heard shouts of joy coming from Darien and she giggled.
Later, she found Allen, getting ready for his lunch break. She tapped him on the shoulder and looked down at her. "I need to talk to you, Allen." She said as she led him to a little area in the waiting room. "Now, remember when you said that if I found someone I really liked, that I could break up with you?" She asked. He nodded.
"Well, I have and so, I hope you don't take this too hard but, Allen, I'm breaking up with you." She said as he twitched a little. "And who is this other man that you believe is to be worthy of your heart?" he asked her. Serena blushed. "Darien, one of my patients." She blushed even more. Allen's anger subsided. "Don't you know the rules around here Serena?" He asked with an evil smirk. "Yes, very well. Why?" She asked, thinking of Darien. "Well, one of the rules say, that you can NEVER date one of the patients. That's a rule." He said. Serena shrugged.
"Oh, I guess I missed that one." She said as she looked at the floor. Actually, it was just a dumb excuse for Serena to stay with Allen, or so he thought. "Well what no one knows won't hurt them, right?" She said as she walked away cheerfully. Allen was furious. 'I'll keep you away from that Darien, somehow.' Allen thought as he started to plan.
Meanwhile, Serena walked down the hallway, feeling like she was on cloud 9. She didn't even notice that she walked right into Molly. "Woah, watch it next time Serena! Anyway I have good news for you." Molly said and Serena giggled. "So do I. But, you tell me what yours is first." She said as she smiled. Molly looked down at her clipboard.
"Well, according to these doctor's notes, Darien made a fast recovery and he'll be released tomorrow. Serena smiled. "Well, here goes my good news, Darien and I are now going out." She said. Molly smiled. "That's wonderful, congratulations Serena!" She said as she hugged her. "So how did Allen take this?" She asked. Serena nodded. "Not bad at all. He took it well." She said as she and Molly went their separate ways. 'Wow, this has got to be the best day I've had at this hospital yet!' Serena thought happily as she went to go tell Darien the news.
