"It's about me, and me not coming home for so many nights," Irene began not really sure where else to go. Darien gave Serena's hand a reassuring squeeze and continued to hold onto her hand tightly for support.
"Is it because you've a boyfriend?" Serena asked, "Because mother, I can assure I am totally fine with..."
"NO!" Irene yelled, cutting off Serena, "I'm sorry Serena, no, it's got nothing to do with my love life, I can assure you..." Irene smiled weakly. Darien moved his seat closer to Serena and took her hand into his other one to take his arm around her waist.
"What is it then mother?" Serena asked, fearing that she was not going to like what her mother has to say.
"I am sick..." Irene forced a weak smile, "I spend most of the time in the hospital, that is why I am always not home," Irene said sadly.
"It's curable isn't it?" Serena asked as her body tense up, hoping for the answer she wants to hear.
"I'm afraid it's not Serena." Irene said softly, "I might not make it until the end of the year."
Serena couldn't breathe, she couldn't talk, she couldn't even think properly, she would've fallen off her chair if it wasn't for Darien's strong arm holding her into place. She felt like crying but nothing would come out, she wanted to scream but she felt like she lost her voice.
"When... When did you find out?" Serena asked at last.
"Three months ago," Irene admitted, looking down to hide her tears. Oh the pain she had felt, to know that her baby would be alone next year, to know that she won't be able to see Serena go to university, to graduate, to get married to see her have her first child, but most importantly, how she'll never be able to see Serena's father again.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Serena asked softly, trying her best to suppress her anger, her pain.
"Serena... I..." Irene couldn't go on any longer and started to sob in her hands.
"DON'T CRY MOM! TELL ME WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME GOD DAMMIT!" Serena screamed as she stood up in frustration.
"Serena, your mother just didn't want you to get hurt, you to get upset, to get worried," Darien explained softly as he stroked softly at Serena's back while look sympathetically towards Irene.
"So you knew too?" Serena asked bitterly as she stepped away from Darien.
"Serena..." Darien began painfully but didn't know what else to say.
"So what? Who else knows?" Serena asked.
"Just Mina's family and Andrew," Darien admitted.
"SO THE WORLD PRACTICALLY KNOWS APART FROM ME?!" Serena yelled as tears form in her eyes.
"Serena..."
"I'M YOUR DAUGHTER HERE MUM! I'M YOUR DAUGHTER! I'M YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD AND INSTEAD OF TELLING ME THESE IMPORTANT THINGS YOU TELL EVERYBODY ELSE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Serena yelled towards her mother before she runs out of the dinning room.
"SERENA!" Darien yelled and took an attempt to grab Serena but missed. Darien looked down at Irene who was still crying as she watched Serena's disappearing back when the slam of the front door could be heard.
Darien didn't know what to do; he was stuck between staying to comfort Irene or to run after Serena.
"Irene, are you alright?" Darien asked softly as he walked over to Irene's seat and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks for being here Darien, it means a lot to both of us," Irene forced a weak smile.
"It's okay," Darien replied, eyeing the doorway, hoping that Serena would change her mind and come back.
"I'm fine now, you can go and run after Serena," Irene said quietly.
"Are you sure?" Darien asked as he bent down to face Irene.
"Yes I'm sure, go on now," Irene gave a small reassuring smile.
"Okay, we won't take long to come back," Darien said quickly, gave Irene another pat on the shoulder before running out to find Serena.
Darien looked up and down the street when he got out of the house but Serena was no where to be seen. Darien cursed softly to himself and made a mental note to buy Serena a mobile as soon as he could find her.
After running around the block in his jeans, shirt and jacket with no luck.
"Shit Serena where the fuck are you?" Darien mumbled softly to himself, it was dark and he was worried. With no other choice, Darien hopped into his car and drove to places where Serena might have ran to. He tried the library, the school, the nearby milk bar, Mina's house, his mansion, but still with no luck. Then he remembered, Serena might be at a place, at a special place of there's.
Darien accelerated to near full speed to the park where he made Serena officially his girlfriend. He got out of the car and looked around the park with Serena no where in sight. Darien looked down at his watch to find that it had been over an hour since Serena ran off.
"SERENA!?" Darien yelled into the darkness, frustration and the now all too familiar feeling of panic creeping up, "SERENA WHERE ARE YOU!" Darien yelled again in agony as silent tears began to form in his eyes. What if she ran away for ever? What if she got lost? What if she got kidnapped?
Darien allowed his knees to give way as his feet crashed down to the floor. Darien just stayed in that position, listening to the leaves rusting in the night wind when he heard a brief sneeze far away.
"Serena?" Darien asked softly, not trusting his ears but was it was confirmed that she was around when he could hear a soft sob, "Serena come out," Darien pleaded as he walked towards the sob but still can't see anyone.
"Serena? Please?" Darien asked. When no answer came, Darien could only do what he can think of.
"SERENA YOU BETTER COME OUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND YOU'LL REGRET IT!" Darien yelled but when no answer came he could do the only thing that he can do that can make Serena come out, "YOUR MOTHER IS IN THE BLOODY HOPSITAL!" And with that, Darien could hear broken twigs in the background and before he knew it Serena was in front of him, from the dim street lights far away, Darien could tell her eyes were swollen and red.
"What happened to my mum?" Serena asked in panic but instead of replying, Darien pulled Serena into his embrace. "What happened to my mum?" Serena repeated her question.
"She's fine, just worried sick about you," Darien explain softly as he caressed her hair until Serena tried to push him away.
"You fucking liar!" Serena spat out as she tried to push Darien away.
"Serena, I had no other choice..."
"FUCK OFF! YOU ARE JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM?!" Serena screamed as she kicked Darien in the shin and started to run into the darkness again.
Darien cursed as pain surged throughout his leg. But ignored it as she ran towards Serena. 'God dam it! Why did she have to be so good at running?' Darien thought to himself as he barely kept her within his eye sight as she ran out of the park and into the streets with him half limping behind.
Serena was about to run across another road when a large truck was heading her way and Darien pulled her back into his embrace just in time.
"Go away Darien!" Serena tried to struggle out of his embrace as Darien held onto her tighter and started to kiss her passionately. Serena felt limp in his kiss at first but then realised what he was doing and pulled herself out. "What Darien? You think I'm one of those fucking cheap whore and a simple kiss will solve everything?"
"No, of course not."
"What then?"
"Serena, I'm worried about you, we're both are. Don't be mad at your mother, she doesn't like this anymore than you do," Darien hushed softly into her ear.
"I'm not mad at her..." Serena mumbled as she stops struggling.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm mad at you! For lying to me time and again!"
"What do you mean?"
"First you acted as if you've never seen my mother before. Then as if you knew nothing was happening and then at the park..." Serena stopped talking as she held onto Darien tightly.
Darien could only close his eyes as he felt Serena's tears on his neck.
"I'm sorry Serena, I didn't mean to hurt you like that. But it was just not my place to tell you about your mother's sickness. And about the park, I had no other choice. I was jus so worried about you that I stopped thinking straight," Darien whispered softly as he gently pulled Serena away a bit to see her tear stricken face.
"Please forgive me," Darien pleaded as he bent down to be eye levelled with her.
"I hate it when people lie," Serena said softly.
"Serena I..." But before Darien could continue, Serena gave him a peck on the lips.
"So you better not lie to me again or I'll never forgive you," Serena smiled weakly.
"I won't," Darien smiled as he kissed Serena's tears away.
