A/N: I decided to give you all a break and update :)
"You can go home now Miss. Tuskino," the nurse said. She imidiattly got up from her hospital bed. She hated it here.
"Thanks," Serena said. She walked out and saw Seiya. He was cleaned up. His face was still covered in bruises and cuts, but other than that, he was stronger again. She couldn't help but think that she must look the same. They talked for a bit untill Serenas parents, Yaten, and Taiki came. They hugged goodbye and drove home. As soon as they got home, she went straight to her room.Serena felt grateful to be in her room. She flopped on her bed. It was sooooooo nice. She let herself relax. The first time in almost two weeks. She turned around...and saw a peice of paper folded next to her pillow. She sat up and unfolded it. DONT THINK THAT YOUR SAFE SERE. I'M HERE. I'M WATCHING... She gasped and threw the note on the other side of the room as if it were on fire. The paper fluttered quietly to the floor. She began shaking uncontrollably. When will she get a brake? When will she get her normal life back? There was a knock at the door.
"Sere?" It was Darien.
"Come in," He saw her sitting on her bed.
"Sere? Are you okay? What happened?" he said, sonding worried and rushing to her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tightly against him.
"Darien...he isn't gone...oh my god hes still here...he's here somewhere," she said through tears. Darien inwardly groaned. Was this ever going to end? Almost as sudden as her tears came, they stopped. She stood up.
"Serena...you can cry if you want to," he said. She grimly shook her head.
"I can't Darien. Crying is weakness. And he feeds off my weakness. Why he left us there, I don't know. But the worst is yet to come," she said quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"Darien. You've seen first hand what Micheal could do. Hes done so much. Do you honestly believe that he would just beat me up and leave? He doesnt want me around. He will try to kill me," she said. He felt his body growing cold. He fell back on her bed. It was true. Micheal would not leave her alone. She was the first to stand up to him.
"Seiya told me what you did to Josh...I knew you were strong but I didn't think you would do something like that,"
"I dont know where it came from honestly. I guess all my fear turned into anger. But that was only a little bit of what I felt. I still have so much anger and fear bubbled up inside me. I don't know what to do with it," They were silent for a long time. "I'm going to try to live my life as best as possible," she said, staring at the floor. "I don't know when he is comming back, but I want to enjoy my life," Darien nodded.
"Are you going back to school?" he asked
"The day after tomorrow. I'm going to go back,"
"Are you sure? After trial last time, you went straight to school and everyone treated you diffrent,"
"I don't care. I'm not letting this control my life," Darien nodded.
"You know, two years ago, if someone were to tell me that my girlfriend was going to be stalked and tortured by a psyco, I would have said they were crazy," he said, hoping to get at least a smile out of her.She sat on the bed and managed to laugh a bit.
"Same here. If someone were to tell me my life would end up this way, I would've laughed. This is the kind of things that happen in movies," They stood up.
"Darien, I'm going to go toReis later. And when are you going back to college?"
"Not untill we do something about Micheal," he said. He pulled her into a tight embrace. "Serena he's done so much to you. When I see him I swear I will kill hi-"
"Don't. Killing isn't neccassary. Yeah, I wouldn't mind him dead, but killing...thats something he would do. But no offense, I can see why you would," she said quickly.Darien never thought of it that way.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled.
"Don't worry," they stood there for a moment. "Darien you should go. No offense but I want to be alone," Darien nodded.
"I love you," he said, kissing her on the lips.
"I love you too," she said. Darien took his coat and left. Twenty minutes later, when she knew he was gone, she ran into her bathroom, successfully covered up her cuts, put on makeup, changed her clothes, and ran out of the room. She left a quick message for her parents and left the house. She needed to take a walk. She knew it was stupid and carless of her to walk around San Diego by herself after all that has happened, but she didn't care. She hadn't had time to herself for a really long time. She went to Jamba Juice, grabbed a Citrus Squeeze, and proceeded to walk around. She wound up in front of Reis temple. "Rei?" she called. No answer. She went in and looked around. "Rei?"
"SERE!" Rei screamed, jumping on her.
"Hey Rei!" After hugging and talking, Rei got some chocolate cake.
"I got your favorite!" she said. Before they knew it, the cake was gone. All of a sudden, her face went stone hard. "He's comming back, isn't he Sere," She narly started crying again, but held back.
"Probably. I think we should have a meeting here next week. All of us. And the Lights too," she said. "After all, they were involved," Rei nodded.
"I see. I'll call everyone up and do it,"
"Well, I have to go home now. I'll be seeing you," They hugged and Serena walked home. Her phone buzzed so she took it out. It was a text message...from him. I SEE YOU it said.
I know its way way wayrushed, but I thought I'd give you all a brake and update. I kinda miss this story already. Ah well. Peace!
