Desires

Darien not knowing what to do clung to the petite woman before him. He carried her to the couch that she slept on, her body limply hanging, the blanket was still lying there and faint residue of her warmth was on the surface. He gently set her down, then rushed to the phone, "Yes . . . I need help now . . .. Second floor, number 23 . . . . .. Please hurry!" desperation in his voice. He rushed back to Serena's side not wanting to be away from her at any moment. He clasped her hand, holding it tightly; staring down at her face he touched it, it felt cold. Tears slide down his face, his eyes distorted and he couldn't see straight.

As quickly as possible the paramedics arrived, Darien rushed them in and brought them to the sleeping beauty. A young man checked her pulse, "She is still alive, lets bring her in before it's to late" turning towards Darien, "Sir your going to have to tell me what happen," the young man calmly spoke to Darien.

Not moving his eyes off of Serena, "I . . . . .I… don't," he kept stuttering. Unsure of what to do he sat and watched as they placed Serena on the stretcher to transport her to the hospital.

"Its ok," the man tried to soothe Darien, "Why don't you ride with us to the hospital, we can get her some help there." He smiled at the distraught Darien, waving his hand towards the door.

"Yes," Darien muttered as he rose slowly, his body numb with pain and shock, and followed his beloved out the door.

Four girls walked down the street, they were chatting and laughing after having a good time of shopping at the mall. Amy, Lita, Mina, and Ray leisurely walked past the apartment building that Darien lived in. They were surprised to see the ambulance and several others cars surrounding the entrance of the building. Curiosity overtook them, so they all strolled to see what all the commotion was about. Peering over the crowd they saw Darien follow a bed that held a patient. They pushed there way through to see who was lying there, first looking at Darien, he seemed to be pale and sick, tears streaking down his face, there eyes wandered over to the lying woman. "Serena!" they yelled as they saw the small girl lifeless on the stretcher.

Ray rushed past all of the crowd, the others soon to follow, "Serena, what's wrong with her?" She screamed. Darien crawled in after Serena into the back of the ambulance.

She tried to get to Serena but the same young paramedic blocked her path. "I'm sorry mam, but only one person is allowed in the back." He felt sorry for them, "but you can follow us to the hospital, we will try to help your friend there." Without even a thought they rushed after the speeding vehicle.

Darien was sitting on an uncomfortable chair as Serena was in the emergency room, he constantly wrung his hands his face pale with comparison to the white walls behind him, his eyes broken and out of focus. Ray paced back and forth in front of the emergency room door. Ami sat quietly; her hands folded in her lap her head facing down and her short blue hair hiding her unreadable face. Lita leaned against one of the walls her head pulled back, her eyes tightly shut, and a look of anguish constrained her face. Mina sitting on the floor next to Lita crying, with big tears sliding down her face, her cat sitting in her lap trying to calm her. All had thoughts of Serena playing and replaying in there minds, Mina whispered, "Serena was always the strong one, how could this happen to her."

The others looked at her, except for Darien; he had thoughts of only the woman next door. Ray stopped pacing and looked at her, "Don't worry Mina, she just collapsed, Serena will be out in no time." She smiled at the tearful woman, and then sat next to Darien, "I'm sure of it Darien, she will come out in no time, to be her silly self once again." He didn't reply his mind was numb and couldn't function.

A creak caused everyone to look up and the young paramedic from before walked out, an extremely sad face threaten to overtake him. "She is alive," he reassured them, one by one they all relaxed, "we did a full check up and she is completely normal, I can't figure out what is wrong with her."

Darien rose quickly, "Can I see her please?' he begged.

"Yes, just come this way." The man pointed his hand behind himself down a hallway, "I'll leave you guys to her, room 12."

Darien practically ran down the hallway his body involuntarily moving, his mind told him to get to her, so it did. He swung open the door, and saw his beloved lying there lifeless as before, he fell to his knees before her bed and clung to her dangling hand. He sat there shaking with sobs. The girls slowly follow behind him, never seeing this side of Darien before; they decided to not go in just yet. In the room a heart monitor constantly beeped, "beep . . . . . . .beep . . . . . . .beep," slowly but steadily. Darien, now was calmed down, he was sitting in the chair beside Serena's bed, he clung to her hand, his head resting on the soft cushion adjacent with her head, his eyes staring at her serene face. The others had already left hours ago. "Beep . . . . .. beep . . . . .. beep" still sounded in the background, he tried to stay awake, but exhaustion crept in his mind and overcame him. His face still distorted with pain. "Beep . . . . . .beep . . . . . . beep"

Slowly Serena opened her eyes, she smiled down at her sleeping angel before her. "Beep. . . . .beep. . . . .beep" She pulled all of her strength and lifted a hand to touch his face," Darien," she whispered. "Beep. . . . . . . . . . . .beeeep. . . . . . . . . .beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep," her hand slide down from his head and rested near his arm that was lying beside her.
