Title: Look Out

Chapter Eleven

By: Icess

Darien stepped into the visiting area for prisoners, scanning the room for Joel. He had certainly changed in the few weeks that he'd been arrested. He had a wild look in his dark eyes, his brown hair was askew, and the minute his crazy eyes locked with Darien's, he started to scream. Long, loud wails that had guards and prisoners covering their ears. Darien turned to one of the guards and ordered, "Get him outta here." It took four guards to grab hold of Joel and restrain him in his private cell. Once Joel was calmed down enough, with the help of the prison psychiatrist, Dr. Mia Johnson, Darien sat down in the cell with him. "Joel, can you hear me?" He asked of the man who now lay motionless on his cot. He was staring up at the ceiling and sweat was pouring down his temples.

"My destiny! You ruined it Darien… you ruined it! They'll come after you, all of you. They'll get to her first though." Joel smiled sickly.

Darien shook his head and turned to the psychiatrist. "I'm not going to get through to him, am I?"

Dr. Johnson shook her head sadly. "He's not fit to be here. We need to take him to the asylum. He'll get help there." Darien nodded and stood up. "Unfortunately," the doctor continued. "We'll never know what caused him to act this way. It's just going to go downhill from here."

"Thanks, Doc." Darien sighed and left the prison.

Serena sighed as she floated through the water. She finally felt content; her ordeal with Joel McClintock was over. At first, she didn't think she'd ever get used to not having police officers and federal agents surrounding her. Now, she valued her privacy more than anything. So, to celebrate her newly discovered privacy, she was on vacation in Cabo San Lucas. She was floating on a lounger in the pool with a margarita at her side and as she gazed to the other side of the pool area, near the cabanas, she had to do a double take. 'It can't be… I'm seeing things.' She rubbed her eyes, thinking that the alcohol was finally affecting her vision.

Darien was walking towards her at a brisk pace. He didn't take his eyes off her, not even when he stopped at the side of the pool. He then stood, waiting for her to maneuver the raft to the edge so that she could get out of the pool. When she was on solid ground again, he took her face in his hands and kissed her. She gasped slightly and then grasped his shoulders, as her knees had turned to jelly the moment his lips touched hers.

"Serena…" He whispered, not caring that they were getting strange looks from the other occupants of the pool. "You complete me, Serena. You make me whole. I've never met anyone else who makes me feel that way I do as when I'm with you. I love you and I think I've loved you since that first time I saw you in school. Pigtails and all." Darien's voice cracked on those last few words, just as those very same words brought tears to Serena's eyes.

The couple broke apart as applause rang out; applause that were coming from behind them. Serena turned around and managed to smile delightedly and sheepishly at the same time. "Hey guys." Was all she said. Lita, Raye, Ami, Mina and their respective partners stood to the side and laughed, happy that finally, Serena and Darien were together as they always should have been.

Suddenly, Andrew, who also happened to be Darien's best friend, broke out in laughter. "Well it's about damn time!" He said and clapped Darien on the shoulder as Darien blushed for probably the first time in his life.

Darien got a mischievous gleam in his eye and said, "Hey Drew…Look out!" And then proceeded to push Andrew into the pool, Hawaiian t-shirt and all.
