Chapter 14: All in All

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

Times rolling on
Rolling on today
It's going on
Going on today

Early Thursday morning, Serena sat in the heated seat, given her testimony for today.

"And that's when the cops and Vice Principal Randall came in to stop Darien and Mr. O'Brien fighting."

"Anything else?" Darien's lawyer asked.

"No."

"Your witness."

"You say, Mr. O'Brien came on to you."

"Yes."

"And you are 100 percent sure that you didn't come on to him?"

"Why would I, I mean, look at him," Serena said.

"Wow, so you only go after, flirt with the hot teachers, like Darien."

"I don't flirt with hot teachers, I am with somebody, sir."

"Oh, Darien Shields?"

"Yes, Darien and I are together now."

"For how long?"

"Objection your honor! What does this have to do with our case?"

"Sustain. Watch it, council."

"I am strictly showing, that the Ms. West has a history of going after teachers!"

"That's a lie!"

"So, answer the question then, when did you and Darien start dating?"

"I do not have to answer that."

"Why not?"

"Because I, like Darien will plead the fifth on that question." The lawyer smiled. He knew if Serena didn't give a date, farther charges on Darien couldn't be made since they couldn't prove when the couple were together. Darien knew if he told when he was with Darien, her father would be able to put him in jail for sleeping with a minor, though she was just months from being 18. "It doesn't matter when and how Darien and I got together, the fact is, Mr. O'Brien is a lying bastard who tried to force himself on me. Because he know, I would NEVER like him in that way. Darien saved my life."

"Like the night he beat up 3 guys for you." Serena's eyes widen.

"Ex-excuse me."

"That night, you remember, you and your friends were 'Pussycats', I believe."

"Objection your honor!"

"I am just showing how Mr. Shields has before used excessive force when Ms. West was in 'trouble'," Mr. O'Brien's lawyer said.

"But why didn't the council ask this question to Mr. Shields when he was on the stand?"

"Because this is the witness that has seen Mr. Shields commit the crimes of excessive force."

"I will allow it. Answer the question, Serena." Serena bit her bottom lip.

"Yes, there was an incident, where 3 guys followed me and tried to.."

"Hurt you?"

"Rape me," Serena said.

"And?"

"And yes, Darien saved me. But those guys deserved to get their asses beat."

"And how exactly did Mr. Shields just happen to be there on, the night of January 5th?"

"He was at the club that night, I guess."

"You didn't meet up with him?"

"I didn't know he would be there that night, I didn't know that was his crowd."

"But you danced with him that night?"

"Yes."

"You have fun with him. You flirted with him?" The lawyer asked her.

"Yes, there was a bit flirting on my part, I was just having some fun."

"And you were 17 then."

"Yes."

"At an 21 and up club? How did you and your friends get…"

"Objection you honor!"

"I take back that last question." The lawyer smiled at the jury. "As you can see from the witness's accounts, Mr. Shields has a history of violence against others, especially those in contact with Ms. West."

"It was one other time!"

"I rest my case."

"It was one time! Your honor, Darien is nothing more than an honorable man, a trusting man. Mr. O'Brien is the sleazebag here!"

"You may excuse this witness."

"No! I am may not be excused! You are wrong! Darien didn't do anything wrong!"

"Your honor, please."

"Hey, hey! Wait, let me explain, please!"

"Serena, let her go!" Darien's lawyer stopped Darien.

"Don't make things worst!"

"They are hurting her!"

"She will be fine, but I don't know about you."

"Wait, please! Wait…Darien!" Serena was dragged out the courthouse.

Friday afternoon, Serena came running as fast as she could into the courtroom..

"I have proof!"

"Your honor!"

"I have proof!" Serena yelled again

"Excuse me?"

"What is the meaning of this, Ms. West?"

"Your honor! I have proof that Mr O'Brien is dirty lying bastard!"

"Objection your honor! Ms. West should be detained for her lies! She had already given her statements!"

"Ms. West, I have warned you about your outburst in my courtroom…do I have to hold you in..."

"I know, you honor, but this time I have proof."

"What proof, your boyfriend beat up my client because you couldn't keep your hands to yourself."

"That's a lie! I have proof and it's right here." She held up her phone.

"What can a cell phone tell us?"

"I'm glad you asked that. This is my new cell phone I received on my birthday a month ago. You see, I have yet to learn everything about my phone, other than putting numbers in it. However, I came across an interesting recordering dated March 26th."

"Your honor! You cannot allow such nonsense in your courthouse!"

"I want to hear what is recordered."

"Thank you." Serena stepped forward. "You see, I had my cell phone in my pocket and I must have accidentally hit record during Mr. O'Brien confrontation. It got everything from that incident on file and was saved." She pressed play and turned up the volume.

"I would just appreciate if you got me that final page."

"Of course." The sound of ruffle of a papers and writing. "I'll get it to you by tomorrow morning."

"Okay. Wait, Serena."

"Yes?"

"I just want to tell you that I have watched you grown into a very beautiful girl through these short 4 years."

"Uh, thank you sir."

"And I have loved teaching such a mind as yours." The courts could hear as she slightly fell against the desk. "The school is going miss such a beautiful, talented woman." Serena gasped.

"I should go."

"Why, when we just.."

"Look, Mr. O'Brien, I think you are a great teacher, but you need to back off." Serena's gasp as he grabbed her arm. "Ow!"

"Where are you going?"

"Let me go."

"Come on, don't tell me you don't want it. Those poems proved you had feelings for me..."

"What! I don't like you!" Mr. O'Brien pushed her to the desk and attempted to kiss her again. "No! Get off me!" A forced kiss could be heard "NO! Get off me!" The court could hear a door opened and rush of a person.

"Wha?" Darien pulling Mr. O'Brien off Serena and a punch could be heard.

"Darien!" Serena screamed.

"You okay? You sure?"

"Yeah."

"You fucking busted my lip!"

"How dare you touch her!" A fight could be heard between Darien and Mr. O'Brien

"Argh!" Serena jumped on Mr. O'Brien's back and was flung to the ground. The court could heard her hitting the ground, as she cried out. Then a rush as Darien rushed and tackled him. .

"No!" They started fighting around the room. "Help! Help please!" She ran back inside. Darien was punching Mr. O'Brien in the stomach with several fists. "Darien, stop it! He's not worth it!" Serena pulled Darien back. She hugged him.

The recording stopped.

"I guess when I pulled Dar-Mr. Shields off him, it stopped there, but you see, this proves Mr. O'Brien came onto me and Darien was just protecting me."

"Your honor this recording can not be real…."

"How could I have made it up, it's has our voices on. Voices don't lie!"

"And I suppose you conveniently forgot to submit this into the courts."

"I didn't know I had until an hour ago. I told you, I just got this phone and I haven't learned every part of it."

"Your honor with this new evidence into the courts, I pull to have this file dropped and my client cleared of all charges..."

"No!" Mr. O'Brien yelled.

"I will need a short break to deliberate this new piece of evidence." The judge got up. The case for Darien was put on hold for an hour, with new evidence.

"How did you find this?"

"Mols noticed the memory was holding a large file and she helped me opened it. When I realized what it was, I rushed to the principal's office and played it for him. He told me to take it to courts immediately."

"You are a life savior." Serena hugged Darien.

"I try." They kissed.

The judge returned and took a seat. He sighed before opening the case file.

"With the new evidence submitted today, I must find the defendant not guilty, though his actions did cause injury to Mr. O'Brien, which I cannot overlook. Mr. O'Brien's case is found untruthful. Mr. O'Brien, your case is dismissed." Serena hugged Darien.

"Yes!" Darien shook his lawyer's hand.

"Thank you, so much!"

"I told you the truth would win out."

"All and all, I have to thank this woman for saving my ass." Serena cupped his face as they kissed.

"However, Mr. Shields, you will have to pay Mr. O'Brien's medical bills for the injuries suffered by your obsessive force. That is all, dismissed." Judge hit his hammer.

"Yes!" Serena hugged Darien again.

"This is not over with Shields! That slut and you will pay." Serena held Darien back.

"He's not worth, Darien. Just a grumpy old lying bastard that realized he lost. Babye." Serena waved at him.

"Let's go celebrate," Darien said with his arm around her. The reporters waiting as the court doors opened.

"Mr. Shields how do you feel now that the truth has come out?"

"Great. I knew it would turn on this way."

Saturday morning, Serena stood with her team getting ready to leave for the competition in LA today. Darien was going to head there in an hour. Andrew was able to get Mina and the others to come. They were shocked to find out that Darien was dating an high schooler at first, but since they got to know Serena first and knew what they shared was true, immediately shook off the high school stigma. Mina especially unpleased that Andrew neglectively left that information out from her, earning him wedding details for a week. The competition started at 11. Grover High would be one the last teams in the final grouping, so there was a lot of standing around waiting. The team kept lose, as Serena went up to Darien and his friends.
"Hey! Glad you guys could come!"

"I haven't been to a meet like this since high school myself, I forgot how exciting this is!"

"You cheered!"

"A little before I got into track around high school," Mina said.

"Can't believe your team has won this 3 years in a row."

"I know, it's been a great run." Serena sat with them chatting before going back to her team.

Serena was carried over the shoulder of a teammate. The team had won, by just .08 points, but it was enough to take the title. 4th in 4 years. 6th title the school has earned in the last 10 years. They would be able to take this win as a top team for National coming in just a month. Serena held the trophy high in her hands. Darien was gonna go with his friends, as the team went to celebrate with a early dinner since it was 5pm. Serena returned home to find Darien playing pool against Andrew, as the others were playing the PlayStation. It seems Andrew and boy's present for Darien finally came through. A pool table.

"Hey baby!" They kissed. "What's wrong?" Darien noticed her walking with a slight limp.

"Too much celebrated, I think I twisted my knee a bit."

"Go ice it."

"Yeah." Serena put her bag down. She got a pack with bottle of water.

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, having a party later now after everyone changes. Can you take me?"

"Sure."

"No, can we go together?"

"Oh, where is it?"

"Club Fire."

"You guys want to go?" Andrew shrugged going into his shot. Ken and Greg engorged in their game. "Guys, want to get some beers at the dungeon!"

"Sure."

"Whatever!"

"Well, I'm gonna go shower." Serena went into the bedroom, closing the door.

"So, what's it like living with her?"

"Great."

"Really? She hasn't wanted to kill you for your annoying habits?"

"My? Ha!" Darien took his shot. "She's the one with the weird waking up times. I swear, that girl is active, always doing something."

Serena was with her friends, dancing at Club Fire, as Darien was downstairs. Serena went downstairs. The guys were playing poker again.

"Darien, I want to dance."

"After this game."

"You said that 20 minutes ago!"

"Baby, we are playing. Go have fun with your team." Serena stormed back upstairs.

"Uh oh, little princess seems to be throwing a temper tantrum. You might want to go upstairs, Dar. You know a child must be played with," Whitney said smiling.

"She did look pissed, bro." Darien ran his fingers through his locks and threw in some chips.

"She knows I don't dance and besides, this should be just about her team celebrating. She doesn't need me."

By the time Darien did go upstairs, he found out Serena and Molly dancing. He came up behind her. Serena ignored him, pulling Molly with her.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Let's go on stage, Mols." She took her hand. Molly shrugged at Darien as they went up the stage and danced. Whitney came upstairs with Raye. They went dancing with Lita to the stage. When Whitney decided to challenge Serena, Serena did circles around her, getting the crowd into the way she was moving. Serena bowed, dissing Whitney, who slipped on bump by Serena. Serena and Molly were about to go down the stairs laughing, when Whitney tripped Serena. She fell down the few steps. Darien was the first one to check her. She was holding her knee, tears in her eyes. Darien called 911 for an ambulance since he had been drinking and Serena was in no condition to drive. He lifted her into his arms and rushed her outside to wait on the ambulance. Molly was able to follow them in her car.

Because Serena's father was Chief of Police, he got the notice that Serena was rushed to the hospital. Darien was pacing outside X-ray room where Serena was in. Mr. West appeared.

"What happened to my daughter!"

"She fell down…."

"I am not talking to you! Where is the doctor!"

"You can go find the doctor if you want!" Darien was shoved into the wall.

"Do not fuck with me."

"The doctor is in the X-ray room where Serena is having her knee scoped for any damages. As I was saying, she fell."

"Where was she?"

"We were at Club Fire."

"Were you getting my baby drunk so you can take more advantage of her!"

"Excuse me! Serena doesn't drink, okay!"

"Liar! I smell alcohol on your breath!"

"Yes, I was drinking, that is why I called an ambulance to bring us here." Serena was rolled out.

"Daddy!"

"What happened?"

"I just fell down a few steps, I'm fine."

"You shouldn't have been at that club!"

"Hello! I am not child!"

"You must beChief West. I assure you, your daughter is fine. Just a bruised knee. Nothing serious. We were just taking some X-rays for precautions."

"Were you drinking!"

"No!"

"I want a blood alcohol level taken immediately."

"Daddy!"

"Mr. West, I assure you, your daughter has not been drinking."

"I want the test!"

"There is no need to test Serena for drinking!"

"Shut up! I am the Chief of Police. I demand that test."

"Fine, take my blood. And when it is found clear, I want an apology, not just to me, but to Darien as well."

Serena was cleared to go, once her knee was taped up. Her BA level came back clean. Serena's father left shortly after that, dismissed by his daughter when he refused to apologize. Darien carried Serena into the place. Molly was able todropthem off at home in her car.

"You want something to eat or drink?" Darien put her to the couch.

"No, I'm fine." Serena turned on the tv. "Can you actually get me a corndog, sorry?"

"Sure." Darien went to pull out some from his freezer. Serena was hopping when Darien came back as the corndogs heated up. "Baby! What do you need?"

"I just wanted to pee."

"Oh. Well, here, let me."

"I can make it." Darien lifted her into his arms.

"You should well know by now how much I love having you in my arms." Serena smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Darien helped her change into some PJs so they could just relax the rest of the night.

Serena took the 2 corndogs, Darien made for her.

"I want to kill Whitney. She tripped me on purpose."

"I don't think she meant for you to get hurt, she was embarrassed that you..."

"Don't defend her!"

"I'm not!"

"Yes you just were!"

"Fine, sorry." Serena bit down on her corndog. Darien was rubbing her legs across his lap was they watched a movie. "I gotta go get my car."

"In the morning, you had like 6 beers."

"I didn't mean right this second."

"I know." Serena licked down the mustard, causing Darien to groan. "Don't do that."
"What?" Serena started on her second corndog.

"Tease me."

"I'm not teasing," Serena said with a smile as she licked it again. "Oh, are you hungry?"

"Don't tease me."

"And why not?" Serena gasped as Darien got up, pulling her PJ pants down along with her panties. He moved her bandaged leg up as his mouth sank into her opening. Darien laid partially on the couch, as he feasted. Serena dropped the corndog and grabbed the back of Darien's head. His tongue stroking her outer lips, before sliding into her opening. He nibbled on her, lapping up any honey that seeped through her opening onto her thighs. Serena laid there moaning, her breathing coming in short gasps. Darien's tongue twisted inside her and that was enough to send Serena over the edge. Darien rose up, wiping his chin. He kissed Serena on the lips. She smiled through his short kisses. She could feel him rock hard against her. "Get up." Darien did. Serena helped him from his shirt and pants.

"We should move to the bedroom." Serena hushed him as she kissed him. She moved him, as his back was to the arm of couch. She pushed one leg away and pulled his boxers just enough down to free him. She kissed the head. She started stroking him. Serena took a lock of hair and teased him. She blew her breath on him. "Put it in.…your mouth." Serena smiled. She stroked him, planting kisses along the length of his shaft. "Please..." She loved when he begged. Serena kissed his stomach, stroking him faster. "Serena...oh," Darien said, his breathing becoming a problem with Serena's teasing. "Serena..." She pumped him, caressing him as well, as she sucked on his balls. She reached up and sucked on his nipple. Darien groaned. He didn't want to force her, but she was becoming unbearable. Her tongue flickered across his other nipple. She left wet trails with her tongue down his chest and stomach. Darien watched as she held her mouth open about to take him into her mouth, but she closed her mouth and kissed the head. "Serena!" She bathed her tongue with his shaft. "Put it in." She just ignored him. Darien rubbed her head, running his finger through her hair. "Please baby." Serena smiled. "I need you to..." She finally covered his shaft with her mouth, taking him deep. With just a raise of his balls, Serena closed her eyes, as his scream burned her ears, as he filled her mouth. He held her head in place, as his spurts came fast. Serena pulled away, running the leftover over her lips, before she sucked on her finger.

"Mmmm...sweet protein." She sat up and got her napkin. Darien sat there gasping, as Serena wiped her mouth. Darien sat up better. Serena looked back. "Oh, recovered finally." He lifted her up into his arms and ran upstairs to his bedroom, where he paid her back by ravishing her into the wee morning.

until next time guys and gals :P
