Chapter Five: Blood, Lies, and Guilt Trips

Recap of Last Chapter:

Rini and Sammy walked upstairs after looking everywhere downstairs for Serena, and found her in the bathroom going to close the door, but then they saw something.

"Serena? What is that stuff in the bathroom sink and on the floor?" They asked.

To her horror they were talking about the blood that she had forgotten to clean up in her hurry that covered a greater part of the bathroom.

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

Serena's face turned to a look of horror of them seeing the blood in the bathroom, and quickly tried to think of excuses; anything to cover up the truth. After all, they were still really young, and as corny as it might seem, it could tramatize them if they knew the truth.

"Um... Oh that? Sorry," she said making sure her hands were hidden in the sleeves of her sweatshirt, "I cut my finger by accident with a knife when I was trying to open the -erm bag of carrots downstairs, and I forgot to clean it all up. No worries though, I'm uh... fine?" Serena said hoping they'd buy this crap of a story she'd made up in less than two seconds.

"That's a lot of blood," Sammy said suspiciously and looking at the bathroom again.

"Oh, well, it was a pretty deep cut. I- being the bad cook I am- hehe- used a big knife when I couldn't open it with a smaller one"
Serena lied through her teeth.

"Why a bag of carrots? You hate carrots," Rini asked her.

"What is this twenty questions? I was going to make you a home cooked meal for a change, instead of those frozen dinners that you're eatting all the time," Serena said arguing.

"Oh," Rini said, "Okay," they said actually buying it even with a couple of their suspicions.

"Um... guys, I'm going to the store to get some bleach and stuff to clean the bathroom with. Don't go in it, okay? It's pretty nasty."

"Okay, sayonara," they said and went off to their rooms.

'Phew,' Serena thought, 'I'm glad the bought that story. Oh god, I lied to them! I hate having to lie to them. It's not fair for them.
but what am I supposed to do? Tell, them "Oh, it helps to relieve my stress"? With my luck, they'd be trying it sometime! Grr.
I need some fresh air to clear my head up a little. I guess I should go to the store to, after all I ran out of bleach from the last time I had to clean the bathroom, and I should probably get bandaides to put on my finger. They'll probably be really suspicious if my finger looks fine, and it's only been like an hour since I told them the lie about cutting it.'

Serena left the house with her purse in hand, and walked briskly to the store. If she didn't get the little shopping done, she'd have two worried kids, and one angry boss at work if she was late.

At the store, she picked up all the items that she needed, and quite a few more. She spent almost all of her paycheck infact. Walking,
on not seeing where she was going- as the bags were many that she had to carry- with a crash into something really hard, the bags went flying to her sides, and she was falling. Fortunately, someone caught her before she could reach the pavement of the hard concrete sidewalk. Unfortunately, the person had just grabbed her wrists in an attempt to catch her.

"AH!" Serena cried out in pain, her new cuts reopening up again.

"Meatballhead, are you okay?" The person said with concern.

"Darien? Oh, yeah I'm fine," she said with gritted teeth as her wrists throbbed.

"Are you sure? Then why'd you scream?" Darien asked worry evident in his tone also from her not yelling at him because he used her most hated nickname.

"Why would you care?" Serena snapped

"Am I really that mean to you?" Darien asked hurt of how she thought of him

"No, sorry, you're really not. I've just been having a bad day."

"Still, why'd you scream?" he asked his question again to get the point across that he wanted answers.

"I screamed because... I... thought you were someone else," she lied.

"That didn't seem like a scream of surprise, it seemed like a scream of pain," Darien said.

"Darien, I'm fine, truly I am," Serena said and picked up all her shopping bags in a hurry, and left as quickly as her legs would carry her.

'Sometimes I just don't understand that girl,' Darien thought.

He looked at his hands and saw blood on them.

'Wait a second? Blood? Something is wrong!' he thought, 'I have to find her and see if she's alright... but where did she go?' he asked and realized that he had no clue where she would be. 'I better talk to Andrew.'

(With Rini and Sammy, at their house)

Meanwhile, Rini walked downstairs to get something to eat. Opening the refrigerator, she got something to drink. Only seconds after realizing one thing. 'We don't even have any bags of carrots,' Rini thought suspiciously once more.

Rini tried to shrug it off, and went to sit down and watch some television on the couch.

Sammy was upstairs and was curious as to what the entire bathroom looked like, if the sink was that coated with blood. So, against Serena's wishes, he opened the bathroom door and nearly puked from the sight of blood on the counter tops, covering the sink completely, and almost every where else you can think of. Sammy thought in shock, 'One cut on your finger can't bleed that much.'

Sammy walked downstairs to see Rini with a worried look on her face, trying to concentrate on watching tv.

Sammy walked over to Rini and said, "I think somethings up with her." Rini nodded her head in agreement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(With Serena)

Serena ran home and opened the door with her keys to the house. When she turned the key in the lock, she looked at the arms of her sweatshirt and gasped, 'Oh no! My cuts must have reopened and bled through my sweatshirt! Not good... If Darien finds out... no I can't think like that. He won't find out.'
