Five minutes later, Darien was laying on top of Serena and they were making out. Serena snapped to her senses and pushed him off.

"Whats wrong?" He asked, not even bothering to hide his disapointment.

"Have you forgotten why we are here? I did," she said, standing up in a hurry and looking around. "If he saw us Darien I don't know what will happen,"

"Sere," he said, standing up too and reaching for her face. "Don't worry,"

"Well, I'm going to make sure he won't hurt you,"

"Speaking of that, why did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"You nearly slit your wrists for me,"

"He's holding everyone I love against me. Why not do the same?" A shocked expression came across Dariens face.

"HE LIKES YOU?" he yelled so loudly, it made Serena jump.

"Not that I know of. But I do know I'm pretty important to him,"

"Why?" he said. Darien was on the verge of screaming. No way he can like her. Darien recalled him with his hand up her shirt. Maybe he does, he grimly thought. Who wouldn't like Serena? She was fucking gorgeous.

"Well, he needs me to get those tickets. If I'm dead then he's screwed,"

"Wouldn't he just try someone else in your family?"

"Rini and Sam are too young and would be too afraid to fork them over, mom would go to the police and dad would do the same,"

"I know about your parents but why not Sam and Rini?"

"I'm just thinking they'll be too young,"

"So he chose you, the oldest and most knowledeable one,"

"Yeah,"

"Are you sure this guys not bluffing?"

"He had a pistol in your face, remember?" Darien remembered faintly. "Yeah, but what happened after that kinda made me forget," silence followed for a few minutes. "So Sere, has he touched you like that before?"

"What do you mean?" she asked, her head snapping up.

"I saw him with his hand up your shirt. Has he done those kind of things?" Serena felt ready to cry. She felt filthy and violated.

"Yes," she said so quietly, Darien could barley hear her.

"How far did he go?" he asked.

"He felt me up and when he was about to get down my jeans at school after everyone left, the vice principal knocked on the door so he jumped up and told me to run, so I did. I came here and cried. Thats when you showed up. After I left, I saw you look at your hand. You had a strange look on your face and I saw that I was bleeding where you put your hand. I freaked out and for some reason, I ran to the school. Micheal found me and told me he saw us so I ran in the school. He cut me and..." Darien watched as she rambled on. Serena was only freaking fifteen! She didn't deserve being treated like this! No one did. As she went on, Darien recalled on how much he had hated her.

Maybe I never hated her, he thought. When she willingly leaned on him for support and showed him her new terrifying life, he wanted to hug her, kiss her, and do anything he can to make all her troubles go away.

"Darien?" she asked, pulling him from his thoughts.

"Yeah Sere?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Why do you care about me so much?"

"Why?"

"Well, you hate me don't you?"

"I never hated you," this comment surprised Serena.

"Really?" Darien flushed a little.

"Really. So what time do your parents get home?"

"In two hours. Why?"

"We need to get you home,"

"My brother and sister will be there,"

"Just fucking perfect. Last thing we need is for them to see you like this,"

"I know.I'll sneak in, change, hide my clothes, jump out, and walk in the door, act like nothing happened,"

"Serena, I'll go home, change, and come to your house,"

"No. We'll stop by your house first," Serena said.

"Why?"

"If Micheals there, I'll need to be there too,"

"Ok," Darien drove to his apartment and fortunatly, Micheal was nowhere to be seen. Darien quickly changed while Serena stood in the living room, inspecting the damage. The damage was severe. There were chairs strewn everywhere, the VCR layed next to the wall, shattered. Other objects were broken and displaced and there was blood all over the place. To top it off, there was a blood covered knife thrown on the floor. Darien came out and went to where Serena was standing.

"So...Is the damage usually like this?"

"I've never went back to look at it," Just then, Serenas phone rang.

"Its amazing that you still have that thing in your pocket," Darien pointed out.

"Yeah. Its Mina. Hello?" Darien could hear Minas excited voice over the phone.

"Serena, you won't belive it! I was comming out from vollyball practice and there was this huge crowd in the hallways. It looks like there was a huge fight out there. Theres blood all over the place!" Serena shuddered. Her blood must have been dripping as she was running. She turned to look at Darien, whos mouth was wide open.

"R...really?"

"Yeah. It looks like a few drips, like someone was running and dripping. Against the wall, there are marks of it and there is literarly a puddle in front of the staircase! Some of it is evenupstairs! God, that must have been some fight! And you know whats wierd? No one heard anything,"

"What rooms was it in front of?"

"Rooms 271, 275, around there. Also,around the front, then the front staircase, then a little upstairs," Serena breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't see where she was going so she wasn't sure if anyone heard her crying out.

"Well, there arn't any clubs going on in that area and the halls are usually empty from two to four so thats probably why no one heard anything,"

"I wonder if they are going to do DNA tests," Serena nearly had a heart attack.

"Sere, they'll have to test everyone in the school to find out who's it is," Darien whispered to her. Serena felt relieved.

"I doubt it. They'll have to test everyone and we all know the people there are too lazy to do that,"

"Thats true," Mina said, laughing.

"Well Mina, I have to go,"

"Why?"

"I need to take a shower,"

"You'd rather take a shower than talk to me?"

"Yes. I'm not in a good mood so can you call me later?"

"Fine. Bye Serena,"

"Bye," just as she hung up, her phone rang again.

"For the love of..."

"Just don't answer it," Darien said.

"How rude it is not to answer the phone," Micheal said.

"AAAGGGHHH!" they both yelled. Micheal, whowas standing next to them and was putting his phone in his pocke, laughed. "You guys are wimps,"

"Shutup. Did you call me?"

"Yes,"

"Look, can you go away for like, two seconds?"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to waste my time with an asshole," she said, glaring at him. Micheal looked at her for a moment and, right in front of Darien, he grabbed her neck and pushed her into the wall behind herbehind them. He then dug his nails in herso hard, her neck started bleeding.

"Ok little bitch. You've had your fun. You know what I have to do since you told, right?"

"If you hurt him, I will kill myself. You know I will," Micheal stared at her for a moment.

"Fine. I won't hurt him. But if he says one word about me, you will both be dead. I don't care what the company will do to me,"

"I won't say anything! Now let her go!" Darien shouted, grabbing him and pulling him from her. Micheal let go of her neck, turned around, and slapped Darien.

"I can do whhatever I fucking want untill she gives me those tickets,"Serena fell to the ground, trying to catch her breath. Micheal gave them each aglare and left.

"I'm surprised no one heard," Serena said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well, its around five. Their probably busy," Dairen replied."Here Sere, lets get you home," Serena stood up.

"Ok. I'll have to go through my window though, so no one sees," When they got to her house, Darien hoisted her on his shoulder so she could get on the tree next to her room. Just as she was about to grab on the branch, they heard a voice.

"WHAT THE HECK!" They turned to see Rini standing there, eyes wide open and staring at her blood covered sister.

A/N: This chapter, I wrote as I went. I'm probably not going to update as much as i used to since I found two two day old kittens yesterday. I'm currently taking care of them so I'll be a little busy. I'm also busy planning my thirteenth birthday party. Well, anyways, thanks for the reviews. Enjoy and keep them comming!
