----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn't difficult for someone to say sorry. Nope it was just swallowing their pride and admitting they were wrong. However to Darien it was probably the one thing he was incapable of doing. It wasn't that he didn't have feelings, or a conscious, or any type of emotions. Nah, it was more like, he didn't like being wrong. And him saying 'I'm sorry' meant he was wrong, so you see where the problem plays it's role.

Oh wait that's not the best part. No, the best part was that he had fucked up and he fucked up with Serena. Not that he cared he just didn't like the idea that he did something that wronged him instead of her. Darien crossed his arms as he leaned against the wall. He watched as random students walked by. His mind racing.

He had heard the conversation between Serena and Lita the day before and now a day later he had no idea how to tell her he was sorry without telling her he was sorry...did that make any sense at all? Well to him it did. To others, well to others is what the workings of a lunatic. He sighed. That woman was driving him insane! No seriously if it wasn't one thing it was another.

Wasn't there a moment in his life that she wasn't fucking his life up? Nope there wasn't. Then again it was also his fault because he started fights with her himself. Darien sighed and closed his eyes trying to remember a moment in his life when he wasn't fighting with that girl.

-Flash-

It was a Typical day in the Elite Way, students were in their resting hour, some were eating other just sitting around and relaxing. As for Darien Chiba he stood in one of the study rooms with his guitar writing music. Music was his passion. He loved it and dreamed of being a great composer some day, however that dream was on a momentary pause. His father was a very corrupted and important government official and he expected and was practically forcing Darien to take after him.

He sighed and put the guitar down and rubbed his face. He got up and walked over to the small fridge and took out a coke. He sipped it gratefully appreciating the feel of the cold liquid glide down his throat. He sat back down and returned to his music, adjusting the strings of his guitar and just when he was about to start playing his father walked in.

"Darien...what are you doing?" he asked, his body guards followed two feet behind. Darien looked at his father. A tobacco in between his fingers, his blue eyes staring him waiting his answer. Darien stood up and put the guitar down.

"Darien I asked you a question. What are you doing with that guitar?" His heart was racing. Caught red handed. His father was going to kill him. He looking around hoping to find an excuse.

"I ...Uh...Well.." his mind was blank what the hell was he suppose to say. At that moment some one else came in. Her waist length brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She looked up from the book she'd been reading. It took her a second to understand the situation and he had never been more happy that she had spoken.

"Mi Amor, There you are. I was wondering when you were going to get my guitar. Did he fix it?" Serena closed her book and walked past Mr. Chiba and to where Darien and the guitar was. Mr. Chiba watched. Darien and Serena had been faking that they were going out. It was an accident that whole ordeal but they had to go through with it for both their sakes.

"Your Guitar?" he asked suspiciously. Serena turned around and nodded.

"Yeah. I asked Darien here to get it for me. What? you thought it was his?"

"Yes I did." that made Serena laugh. Darien and his father gave her an odd look.

"No offense honey but your tone death. He's incapable of playing music." Mr. Chiba nodded, silence over took the group for a moment before Serena spoke again. "Well I got to go. Thanks again hone." she placed a quick peck on his lips. "Mr. Chiba nice to see you again. Bye" with that she walked away taking Darien's guitar with her. Once out of the Darien's, father's view she wiped her mouth and mouthed to Darien that he owed her. He nodded his head in agreement.

It took Mr. Chiba another five minutes to leave and once he was gone Serena walked back into the study room with his guitar. She had a smug grin on her face. She sat down and gave him his guitar.

"I can't stand my father." she laughed and stood up.

"Aye Papito the things I have to do. Start getting your act together, I won't always be there to save you." her voice was mocking him. He stood up and put his guitar down, he looked at her with annoyance.

"No one asked you to help me. I had everything under control" Serena seemed unfazed, she examined her nails and shrugged.

"Sure you did and you stuttering told me so." Darien rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't stuttering." Serena rubbed her temple and gave him an annoyed smile. She pat his shoulder.

"Learn to say thank you Papito" with that said she turned around and began to walked towards the door. It suddenly dawned on him that she had helped him randomly.

"Hey." she turned around and looked at him a bored expression on her face.

"What?" he walked towards her, he scratched the back of his head.

"Why did you help me? There was no reason what so ever for you to help." he saw her suddenly become nervous. She fidgeted under his gaze. He was close, too close.

"I..uh...did...did it for the band. Yeah the band." he looked her straight in the eyes.

"Right the band." he nodded in agreement. Serena's heart was racing fast.

"Yeah I mean if you had gotten in trouble then you wouldn't be able to rehearse with us and I hate it when we're missing a member" Darien nodded.

"No other reason." she looked at him. His face was inches apart from her's.

"What other reason could there be?" she whispered as he looked at her, he was leaning closer.

"Yeah...what other reason." he whispered back. A few more inches and he would be able to taste her lips once more. They had kissed once before both times on accident, but none the less they had kissed each other before. As he leaned close, he felt himself close his eyes. However the kiss never came for at that moment they heard his name being called from the hall. Both pulled away.

"I...uh...I have to go. Um...bye" she pulled away from him and began walking away before she left however Darien called to her again.

"Hey Serena"

"Yeah...What?" he smiled at her.

"Thanks." she smiled back waved her hand as if to say no problem as she walked out Mina walked in. She bumped into Serena. Which irritated her.

"Oye Barbie watch where you're going." she walked out without another word. Mina looked at Darien.

"Que Le Pasa a La Kelly Osborne? Did she realize that hair color does not go with her?" that made Darien laugh. He placed a kiss on his cousin's cheek.

"No. She's just really frustrated."

"Ya think. I saw my uncle. Why was he here?" she sat down and darien followed her actions. However when Mina saw the Guitar she freaked out.

"OMG! Did my uncle see that!" Darien looked confused and then remembered his guitar.

"What? Oh yeah...but um Serena helped me out so I wouldn't get in trouble." Mina Smiled and so did Darien.

--------End Flash Back-----------

Darien smiled. He had wanted to murder Mina, but he didn't say anything. If she had waited a minute or two he would have gotten that kiss. Then again it would have ended up in a fight of some sort and he wasn't in the mood of a fight that day.

"Yeah so I told my mom the truth and I'm not grounded anymore. Which is good for me because I really hate being grounded." Darien pulled away from wall at the sound of Serena's voice, he leaned over a bit and saw as she rounded the corner, she was talking on the phone and very distracted.

She was walking towards the room he was in and the first thing to cross his mind was...well it was to hide and he did just that. Darien ran towards the couch and jumped behind it. As he did this Serena walked into the room, she looked bored and sat down. Her hair hung loosely on the ponytail. Streaks of blonde and red mixing themselves with the dark brown of her hair.

"No I have not. And no I haven't done that either." were they talking about sex? Did he just find out that Serena was a virgin! Could this possibly be something he coul-

"What I mean by no is...I haven't gone to my father's grave since his death. And I haven't cried yet." peanuts. He thought he had her but nope she wasn't the type to talk about sex..well at least not on the phone. She stayed quite for a few more seconds before she said bye to the person on the other end and hung up.

"SERENA!" the shrill and child like voice of his cousin was heard outside the room. Both himself and Serena turned to the glass wall to their right and there stood in all her feminine glory Mina. Her blonde hair was let loose so that it swayed carelessly on her back. Her wore a 'princess' crown and well of course the school uniform.

Mina Ran into the room and nearly tripped over a chair as she race towards Serena. She jumped on the couch making Serena scoot over. She looked Serena straight in the eye, blue clashed with blue as neither of them blinked. Okay so my previous description of their relationship was a little off.

Their friendship had sure as hell gone down the drain but was slowly yet surely rebuilding itself and it's all thanks to the band that they both during their fourth year at Elite Way, however as much as friend's as they were becoming again they were still rivals. At times they insulted each other to no end making the school quiver in fear and at other times they were there for each, other sticking up for each other like the friends they used to be.

Mina put her index finger in her mouth, her voice was childish as she spoke, she almost seemed uncertain as to ask the question.

"Serena I need to ask you a question" her voice came out in a soft whisper, Serena stood up and dusted herself off, she then turned her attention to the blonde before her. She sat Indian style with her hand between her legs, her hair fell over her shoulders as she did this, she bit her lip at she waited for Serena's response. Serena crossed her arms and finally answered.

"Shoot." Mina shifted a bit and let the breath that she had been holding go, she closed her eyes and then opened them, her heart pounded and she spoke in the softest whisper she could muster but Serena heard her and was taken back completely by what she had asked,

"Well...it's about sex." Serena nearly choked on her own Saliva. Say what! Her entire body turned numb, as she stumbled backwards and landed rather harshly on the armrest of the armchair. She rubbed her back and sat down on the chair.

"W-what about sex?" Mina began to play with her fingers as she sat down completely. Darien laid quietly behind the couch, the conversation suddenly getting his attention a little too much.

"Well I was hoping you could kinda of tell me about your first time and such." Serena jumped from the couch. Was she insane! that was something personal, something intimate! Something..well something she hasn't done just yet.

"What did you last neuron die or like break! What makes you think I'd tell you." Mina stood up from the couch and pushed Serena back onto well the couch. She looked Serena in the eyes again making her fidget uncomfortably.

"Serena please, you have experience in that Area and I need your help." Serena gave her a weird look.

"Help in what!" Serena pushed her off of her and stood up, she pointed her finger at the blonde. "You're not expecting me to be there on that night guiding you through are you!" a horrified expression cross Serena's face as she back away from mina who looked at her as though she had recently grown another head.

"Ai no! Like what should I do. Who sets it off? How's the mood suppose to be?" Serena felt a bit comfortable under her ex-best friend's gaze, almost like she was devouring her. She felt as though she was being interrogated, wait she was! Not only that but all those question were making her nervous. What did mina expect, her to have the answers.

"Why are you asking me! go ask Rei" Mina smacked Serena playfully on the arm and backed off of her, she stood up and put her hands on her cheeks.

"Are you crazy! That's would be committing suicide! Come one Serena! What did you do?" Serena shifted uncomfortable under Mina's expectant stare.

"I dunno.. I would go to a Gynaecologist" Mina froze and looked at her, Darien froze himself a bit surprised by her choice of words, had he heard her right.

"Would?"

"Huh?" Serena asked a little startled by Mina's sudden question.

"You said Would do. Serena why would you say that" Serena mentally slapped herself on the head. 'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid'. Serena thought quickly and then gave Mina a weird look.

"I said I did."

"No you didn't"

"Look obviously your bleached head heard wrong. I said I did go." that comment got to Mina, she sat down and crossed her arms.

"I'm a natural blonde thank you very much."

"I'm sure you are. Any ways. I went to a Gynaecologist, checked myself you should too." Mina turned to Serena and smiled. "Why are you asking me these random questions Mina? Are you going to have sex with someone?" Serena's voice sounded as though she was mocking her, however Darien nearly chocked on his own saliva at Serena's suggestion.

Surely his beloved little cousin, too young for those type of actions, as not planning on eloping with anyone. Nope it was an absurd and out of place statement.

"Well...I'm thinking about it" guess he was wrong. Wait a minute who would dare seduce his cousin! He would kill the man wh-

"With whom" Mina simply smiled and sat down.

"No one, just asking for when the right guy comes along."

"Then you should ask me then. Anyways, when it actually does happen. Well when it happens it's going to be very magical, it's something that happens when you're both ready and you won't know when you're ready until you're living the moment." Mina sighed and turned to Serena.

"Was it magical for you?" Serena gave Mina a look. Heck no it wasn't magical for her. There was no magic at all! How the hell was she going to get through Mina's neuron less head that it wasn't magical without her knowing it wasn't magical. Did that even make sense.

"Not saying, you find out for your self. Anyways Barbie, what's with this party I hear you throwing" Mina smiled, her finger began to twirl her hair in a very annoying manner.

"Oh you just little something for the summer, I can't just not have a summer party." Serena nodded and rolled her eyes.

"Do you ever not have a party?" Mina shook her head which made Serena think 'figures'

"Well your invited just so you know." Serena smiled more to herself then to anyone else but she shrugged as to say she approved.

"Oh and one more thing. I need you to do me a favor." Serena turned to Mina.

"Shoot." Mina stood up and paced for a moment seriously thinking, shocker by the way, if she should tell Serena.

"Okay...Darien's going to the party." Serena gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. "I knew you would do that. Serena please, i'm begging you, please try to get along with Darien." Serena stared at her for a moment before laughter erupted from her. Darien looked up to the as if to glare at her, why would that be funny.

"Serena don't laugh i'm serious."

"Now i'm sure you lost your last neuron. Are you insane!" Mina's eyes became big as she took a seat across from Serena.

"Why, is it that hard to try and like Darien."

"Do you have to ask! It's nearly impossible for me to get along with him, I mean look at him! He walked into a room and the first thing he does is start a fight with me."

"Serena can't you try."

"Mina it's not just me, I could, you know I could but your cousin is an ass whole, pure 100 daddy's boy, even if I tried to get along with him he would try not to get along with me. It's like committing murder or something." Mina had to agree, Darien was in his own way an arrogant fool.

"Yeah. Hey...why did you hit Darien the other day."

"Porque este guey esta enfermo" Mina gave her a weird look. "Look your cousin doesn't know when to quit and at times his ego gets the better of him and makes him do things" that made Serena smirk in a way that scared Mina, she spoke in a voice that was sweet but dripping in venom

"Just like rage makes me punch him. Hell, he best be glad I didn't kick him between the legs other wise. I'd have render him powerless and sterile" Mina stifled a laugh, as for Darien, he was thanking god she didn't kick him.

"Yeah, well Serena I gotta run see ya around" Serena made a hand signal saying bye. Once the door was closed, Serena sighed. She leaned back and closed her eyes. Yeah it was like murder to try and get along with Darien.

It wasn't that they didn't want to get along. Damn it, it was just hard. Something always happened that pissed one or the other off and that ended up in insults, which then turned into long term fights, until all together they ended up not speaking at all.

There were moments where they were friends and that they seemed to be getting along, but then one of them says the wrong thing and then it goes down hill. And of course it all had a source. It all came from one place. Grace.

Sure when Darien and Serena first meet they started off on the wrong foot, but then they got closer things started to change and if hadn't been for her father forcing the family to go with him on a two month business trip, her and Darien would be going out right now.

But Darien had changed when he got back, he was cold to her, mean, what's more he had a prissy little bitch named Grace attached to his arm, sucking his life force and stealing his love from her. Swallowing him up, making her consume his every thought. She became his life force, his love, his woman. She took from him, his virginity.

And try as she might, Serena couldn't deny to herself that it hurt to see it, to see the man she loved with another. To feel her heart being torn out by this man.

-flash-

"Who told you to come back Serena! No one missed you!"

----

Serena had tears in her eyes, her blond hair tied up in it's usual 'meatball' style as Darien called it, she was standing before him. His bags in his hands.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes. Getting away from everything and everyone I hate. But what's best is i'm never going to have to see your face again." with that he walked off leaving Serena to cry silent tears.

---------

Serena held a drunk Darien, helping him up since he had just fallen and hurt himself from his intoxication. She tried to get him moving but he wouldn't budge, his forehead pressed against her's, a beer in his hand and tears falling from his eyes. He spoke, his breath reeking of alcohol.

"Grace when you told me you loved me...you meant it right?" he thought she was Grace, the whore his father paid to get him laid and then played with his heart. Serena looked at Darien her own tears falling from her eyes. She nodded.

"Yes Darien...I've always loved you" that brought a smile to his face.

"I knew you weren't lying" his hand cupped her face and brought it up so that his lips meet her's. at first she resisted but ended up falling for his embrace, for his lips. She ended up kissing him back.

----End Flash back---------

Serena held back the tears that had threaten to fall from her eyes. She kept her eyes closed fearing that if she opened them those tears would fall once more. Her lips trembled and he breathing had become shallow. She remembered how he had left with her, after she warned him, after she told him that woman was no good. He still left.

'Don't leave Darien! I love you!' the words she had screamed that night came flooding back, bringing the feeling with them. The feeling of hurt, of loose, of desperation. The feeling of having have lost something important. Almost like death.

When she had turned around and found him gone she remembered feeling as though her heart had been ripped from her and stepped on, as though it was shattering into a million tiny pieces and she was doing nothing to pick them up.

Serena exhaled slowly, sure she had love him once, but no longer. She opened her eyes and looked directly into Ocean blue eyes. It startle her and most off all angered her. She wiped the unshed tears from her eyes and stood up.

"What the hell are you doing here" Darien stood back and studied her. Arms crossed, hair pulled back, red eyes, and puffy nose. Although she had not been crying she looked as though she had. He scratched the back of his head and sighed.

"Serena...I-I'm sorry." Serena opened her mouth and closed it again. Had she heard right?

"What?" he sighed and closed his eyes, his hands rubbed his eyes, opening his eyes again he removed his hands from his face and spoke again, with much difficulty might I add.

"I'm sorry." it was a dream. It had to be.
