After Serena left Ami in their dorm room, Serena went in search for Darien, or how he wanted her to refer to him as 'Mr Shields.'
Something must have happened in his past to make him feel so angry over this. And what was he talking about when commenting that he won't be the third wheel again? Serena thought as she walked out of the dormitory and onto the University's campus. She decided to walk to the math lecture hall just incase Darien was working late.
Once she entered the west hall she began feeling butterflies in her stomach but she was not going to back out, she had to speak to him and clear the air.
She walked across the hall and reached the math lecture room. She peered through the window on the door. The door was locked and there was no Darien inside. Serena sighed as she leaned against the door. She didn't know where he lived so she couldn't go over, she didn't know his phone number so she couldn't ring him. Serena just realized how much of this man she did not know and it hurt. She had made love to this man three times yet she didn't even have his number.
Serena decided to go for a walk to clear her head, she did not feel like going back to the dorm room just yet. She began climbing stairs up to the next level of the building then the next until she found a balcony on the fifth floor. She walked out and placed her hands on the metal rails and let out a huge sigh.
"Why must all aspects of life be so hard to get through!" Serena yelled out across the campus, only people who were close to the building could hear and looked up in surprise. Serena just ignored their stares and looked past them to the beautiful scenery. Past the University was a beautiful wildlife sanctuary. It was full of beautiful trees and all types of animals, mostly endangered species were taken there to try and breed to increase numbers. Sometimes the horticulture classes would go out there to study the different types of plants and trees.
Serena had never been in the reserve. It was still sunny because of daylight savings so Serena decided to walk through the sanctuary. She turned around and walked back inside the building and down the many flights of stairs until she was on the first floor and out of the building.
"Serena are you ok?" Mina said running up to her dragging Greg along by her side.
"Yes we heard you screaming on that balcony." Greg said pointing to the balcony Serena was on two minutes ago.
"Yeah I am fine, don't worry about me." Serena said walking off on them.
She kept walking until she got to the entrance of the wildlife sanctuary. She opened the gate and walked through. The place was so peaceful so serene and very quiet. She took a huge breath in. The air was so fresh and had the hint of pine. Why had she never noticed this place until now, it was so beautiful. She began to walk deeper into the reserve following a path made from pebbles. The sound of the birds chirping, the wind brushing past the bushes and the sound of the crickets starting up was all to be heard.
But then something disturbed the relaxing sanctuary sounds. A drunkenly sound emitted further within the reserve.
"What on earth is that sound!" Serena said running to the sound before thinking.
The sound was becoming much greater as Serena ran deeper into the grasslands. Then she saw what was making the horrible sounds. A man stumbling along a pebbled path was yelling out nonsense sentences that made little sense.
Serena noticed the man had a beer bottle in his hands and beside him were at least seven empty bottles. This man was blind drunk!
'I betta find someone who can help this man before he kills himself from alcohol poisoning.' Serena thought as she was about to dash back the way she came but it was too late. She had been spotted.
"Who's there!" The man yelled as he spun himself around with a wobble to look at Serena.
"Serena come here baby we have a lot to catch up on!" The drunkenly man yelled grabbing hold of Serena's wrist. His hold was too firm. Serena felt as if her hand was braking off, it was loosing circulation fast.
"Seiya let go of me right now! You're hurting me!" Serena screamed right into his face hoping to wake him from this dangerous mood.
"Not until you say you are mine!" Seiya said pulling Serena closer by her wrist. Serena felt as if she were going to faint the combination of her aching wrist and the smell of his breath made her squeamish. She didn't know what to say, what could she say to make him snap out of this? She had never seen him this way before, maybe her rejection hit him harder then she thought.
"Now you know how it feels Seiya, to want someone who no longer wants you back! I would have given anything to have you back in my life but you no longer wanted me! And now I no longer want you! Do you understand me!" Serena screamed trying to pull herself away from his tight grip.
"You gave up too easily on me Serena!" Seiya said wobbling from side to side trying to regain balance.
"You dumped me! You gave up on us! And now you think that because that bitch Beryl dumped you you can come crawling back to me. Oh yes I had my suspicions about you and her! So don't tell me not to give up on you! If it were up to me, I would never want to see you again! " Serena yelled at the top her voice.
Seiya had lost all patience and was becoming extremely mad that Serena rejected him, because in his eyes he believed he did no harm. He was so angry at what Serena had just said he rose his hand up to hit her across the face. Serena closed her eyes and tensed up waiting for the vicious blow.
It never came. She opened her eyes in confusion and spotted the reason Seiya's hand never reached her face. Another man's hand had grabbed Seiya to prevent it coming into contact with her face. A sigh of relief left Serena's mouth.
"Whooo arrre you? And let go of me thiiis instant!" Seiya yelled still wobbling, beginning to slur his words.
Serena watched Darien's face, it was so cold and emotionless. He just held Seiya's arm away from Serena and kept it away. Seiya tried to brake free but in his state Darien had a much larger advantage. Darien threw Seiya aside and Seiya hit his head when landing on the ground, which knocked him out.
"Are you ok now?" Darien said still looking cold and emotionless
"Uhh yes I believe so, can we talk?" Serena asked taking a step closer to Darien.
"I am sorry Serena I have to get going I am running late as it is." Darien said making up an excuse to leave then turned his back on Serena and began to walk down the pebbled path.
"Darien!" Serena said urging him to stop. He did but he did not turn around.
"Seiya is not my boyfriend I just want you to know that, and if you stay here I can tell you the whole story please let me!" Serena said walking up to him. He still didn't turn to face her but he was not walking away from her, which was a good sign she thought.
'Man boys can be such babies!' She thought from Darien's childish behaviour but she did not tell him this as him knowing this would not help the situation.
"Seiya was my boyfriend, he broke up with me last year at our graduation, just like that no reason no nothing! Though I did have my suspicions of why he did." Serena said thinking of Beryl.
"And of course I was distraught I thought I was in love with him, so it broke my heart. The night at the pub was well…. It did get out of hand but I am not sorry because you helped me cheer up. Then finding you to be my lecturer was well…. Proves it is a small world." She said giving out a soft laugh.
"Anyway yes I was not completely over Seiya when I met you, I am telling you this so you know the complete truth, no more lies. But I do not love him anymore I realized this when he rang me and asked me to come to Leo's with him. This is where you saw us. He was telling me how he was wrong and how much he misses me and wants me back but things were different. I no longer felt tingles when I looked at him I realized then that I was not in love with him anymore."
Darien decided to turn around.
"I saw you kiss him Serena." Darien said sounding more hurt then angry.
"What you saw was him kissing me and if you watched us for just a few seconds longer you would have seen me pulling away from him and telling him this can not happen again. The funny thing is I felt like I was betraying you being there with him, which is odd since I don't know anything about you. I don't even have your phone number."
"Maybe so but I still don't want anything from you anymore. Seeing you and him at that coffee shop brought back old wounds and I I well I think I am developing feelings for you much too quickly and I do not want the past to repeat itself. Now I am going up to the office building and telling them there is a man passed out in the wild life sanctuary." And with all that said Darien began walking down the pebbled path that led to the campus.
"Darien, oh Darien why won't you speak to me. Tell me your past please don't build walls up around you!" Serena yelled but it did not change anything he kept walking leaving Serena alone with a passed out Seiya and her thoughts.
After Mina walked Greg back to his dorm room she rushed back to her own hoping Ami was there.
When she opened her door she saw Ami sitting on the floor with her laptop near the phone to hook her up to the Internet.
"Hey Ami you haven't seen Serena around by any chance? Something is up I just know it. I don't think it only has to do with Seiya either." Mina said thinking back to the behaviors of her best friend today.
Ami logged off her laptop and closed it, she new Mina would notice Serena's unusual behaviors and felt super guilty for she was not allowed to tell Mina a thing.
"Yes I have noticed her behaviors too Mina, I wonder, what could be up?" She said walking to the kitchen trying not to look like she knew anything.
"Yeah I dunno but she obviously is not here so I am going to look for her. You better stay here just in case she comes back." Mina said racing out of the room again not closing it behind her.
Ami let out a huge sigh while walking to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water.
'No way I can hide this forever.' She thought as she took large gulps of water.
"Hello?" A male's voice said from the front door. Ami jumped in surprise as the voice startled her. She placed her glass in the sink and walked over to the front door to see a very familiar face.
"Hey Greg!" Ami said feeling a shade of pink emerge on her cheeks. She raised her arm to her room gesturing him to come inside.
"Would you like a drink? Mina won't be long she is just looking for our friend Serena." Ami said pushing the thought that he may actually be here to see her.
"Oh umm I didn't come here to see Mina." Greg said kind of blushing also.
"Oh?" Ami said losing control of her hands as they began to shake. She was so nervous but she tried to act cool and sat on the couch next to Greg. She could tell he too was extremely nervous.
"I feel bad for Mina but I don't like her in the way that I think she likes me. In a way I am sort of relieved that she is not here because I would feel even worse if she heard me asking you out." Greg said trying to act casual while saying the last part.
"What? You want to go out with m.me?" Ami said startled, for all the reasons she had guessed why he would be hear she had never prepared for that one. She was so clueless to boys and emotions that come with them.
"Uhh y.yes I do. Did you want to catch a movie?" Greg asked feeling his own body start to shake, he too was extremely new to this.
"Umm no..." Ami began.
"Lets have dinner instead. You can't speak in a theatre." Ami said trying to hide the laughter she felt when seeing Greg's face the moment she had said no to the movies.
"Great lets go." Greg said feeling excited as he rose from the couch waiting for Ami to leave the room before he did.
'Such a gentleman.' Ami thought.
Once Greg and Ami had reached the road outside the campus they hailed for a cab and jumped in.
"So where should we go?" Ami said her voice a little shaky fiddling with a blue hanky (a clean one) in her hands. She couldn't stop fidgeting she was so nervous she had never been on a date before, she didn't know what the rules were and what you should do on a date.
'Ahh I have not even kissed a guy'. She began to think looking out the window so Greg would not see how nervous she was.
'What if I am bad at it?'
"We're here, Ami? Ami you in there?" Greg said tapping Ami's shoulder to wake her out of her trance.
"What oh hey sorry, how embarrassing." Ami said looking at the pavement as she stepped out of the taxi. Greg just started to laugh, which made Ami look at him. What was wrong with him? Had he gone crazy? She began to worry about his sanity.
"Oh Ami don't look at me like that. We have made this event so nerve wrecking neither of us are going to have fun unless we lighten up." Greg said politely. Ami nodded.
"Your absolutely right lets go have some fun." Ami said blushing as she grabbed Greg's hand with her own and they began walking into the restaurant.
