Darien sighed as he hung up the phone with Andrew, it's been well over five hours since Serena had the injection and she still hasn't woken up yet. The doctor had promised that she was alright but Darien was still feeling bad about it. Taking his wallet out, he took three dollars out to buy a drink from the vending machine he stood next to while he was calling Andrew. After collecting his drink, Darien returned to Serena's room to find her still asleep.
Darien smiled weakly to himself before seating himself onto his chair. Watching Serena silently as he drank his coke. He doesn't know why, but he had started to care for Serena, she was so innocent and yet so strong and so determined. He didn't know if she felt the same, but that was how he felt. Even if he hadn't dared to admit it to anyone yet.
Darien was unable to continue his train of thoughts as Serena began to stir up, immediately, Darien jumped up and stood by her side.
"Serena, how are you feeling?" Darien asked.
"Hmm? What?" Serena mumbled as her eyes were still closed, "Darien is that you?"
"Yeah, you might be able to see me if you open your eyes," Darien teased as he had a glance over at Serena's temperature monitor to know her fever has dropped dramatically to now nearly normal.
"Shut up Darien, I'm a sick girl here," Serena complained as she opened her eyes but smiled when she saw Darien, "That was definitely no way to treat a sick person."
"Does this make it better?" Darien smiled as he leaned over to give Serena a kiss on her forehead.
"Much better," Serena sighed as she slowly sat up with the aid of Darien, "How long have I been out for?"
"Only for about six hours give or take," Darien smiled.
"Oh my god! That long?! Did I miss out of school then?" Serena asked in panic.
Darien started to get worried when he saw the colour drain out of Serena's face, "Serena, don't worry, you can always catch up."
Serena gave a small smile as she noticed Darien's worried face, "I guess we can always study together and you can help me catch up."
Darien was about to say something when a knock was heard from the door.
"Come in," Darien answered for Serena as Mina and Andrew appeared into the room. Mina ran to her best friend to give her a hug while Andrew stood near the door, looking worried.
"Drew, you alright man? You look almost as bad as Serena," Darien joked as he gave a light punch on Andrew's arm.
"Darien, we need to talk," Andrew said deeply, looking seriously into Darien's eye.
"Yeah, sure mate," Darien replied, taken aback at his friend's serious expression, "We'll leave you two girls alone for some private talk," Darien smiled charmingly to Serena as he and Andrew walked out.
"So Drew, what's up?" Darien asked as they sat down on the cafeteria seats.
"It's about Serena," Andrew began, "and her mother."
"Hasn't Serena told her about us already?"
"No, it's not that. Serena hasn't had a chance to tell her mother yet because her mother was never home."
"What is it then?"
"Mina told me that Serena's mother has this heart problem, and she's getting sicker and sicker everyday. She's been taking quite a few visits to the hospital lately, Mina said that Serena's mother might not make it until the end of the year."
"But that's like five months away."
"I know."
"Serena looks fine," Darien said as he remembered the smiles Serena had few days ago, "she never told me about this."
"That's the other thing... The thing is... Serena doesn't know," Andrew said softly.
"WHAT?!"
"That is why I'm worried, her mother might leave her soon and Serena has no idea bout it."
"Wait a second... let me get this straight. My girlfriend's mother is dying and my girlfriend has no clue about this at all?"
"Yes."
"Why hasn't Mina told her?"
"Mina was asked not to."
"But doesn't Serena deserve to know?" Darien asked as images of a teary Serena struck his mind.
"That's what I'm thinking, but I don't know if we should be the one telling Serena the news, especially you."
"And why not?" Darien challenged.
"Darien, you are planning to sleep with this girl for a darn car, don't you think you should deliver this kind of news to her?" Andrew said as he tried to keep his voice down.
Darien looked down to his feet, ashamed for the cruel thing he is doing to Serena.
"Darien, why don't you just break things off with Serena and stuff the bet. I'll even get the car for you. But don't do this to Serena, she hasn't done anything to deserve it,"
Andrew said quietly, looking at Darien.
Darien could feel Andrew's stare and as his brain agrees with what Andrew said, his brain didn't. He does feel for Serena, even though it might not be as deep as love, he still does. He doesn't want to let what he's got between them go.
"Darien?" Andrew asked as the silence was becoming uncomfortable.
"I can't Drew..." Darien mumbled as his eyes are still fixed onto his feet, his vision getting blurry.
"Let go of your pride for once," Andrew said softly, trying to hide his anger towards his friend in front of him.
"It's not about the pride," Darien snapped, as his head jerked up to glare at Andrew in the eye, but then his eyes softened, "I care about her Drew, I feel for her, I don't know if it's love or not, but I do. I don't want to let her go." Darien could feel huge invisible weights getting lifted off his shoulders after he admitted his feeling to not only Andrew, but himself for the first time. He gave Andrew a small smile after the realisation of what he just said.
"What about the bet?" Andrew asked softly, his voice still deep but his eyes were smiling.
"I don't care about the bet, Ken and George can take the car, take my pride, I don't care, as long as I have Serena. I might sleep with her one day, but I can assure you that if that day ever comes, it would be because I love her and she's ready, not because of the bet," Darien replied, with confidence in every word.
"You've came a long way mate, and I'm proud of you," Andrew smiled as he gave Darien a punch on the arm.
"Thanks mate. We can decide on what to do about Serena's mother when we are with Mina and Serena's mum," Darien said as he stood up.
"Yeah, the girls might get worried about us," Andrew agreed as he too, stood up.
"Yeah, probably think we're cheating on them," Darien laughed softly at his own little joke.
