(At the Apartment)
I came home and took a nice long bath. I was feeling all fresh and new. I t was 5:00 all ready and Diamond was coming to pick me up at 6:00. I sat down at my vanity mirror. I applied some make up on, not to dark. Next I did my hair, I left it down tonight with curling it at the tips. I put on some earrings and when I looked in the mirror, I was a whole new person. I opened the door and saw Darien sitting at the couch reading a magazine.
"Hey Darien so how do I look?" I asked. He looked up and had a bewildered look on his face. I twirled around.
"So?" I asked again.
"Absolutely gorgeous," he said grinning and giving me the thumbs up.
"Do you really think so?" I said blushing.
"I know so," he said "He's going to be a lucky guy tonight"
"Thanks" I said smiling.
I looked at the cuckoo clock it was 6:00, Diamond would be here any second now.
"So what are you doing when I'm gone?" I asked out loud.
"Oh, just catch up on the Martha Stewarts episodes," he said jokingly.
"Really sounds like fun," I said giggling now.
"Oh one of my closest friend is in town having her over for dinner, if it's fine with you?" he said.
"That's no problem, it'll be great actually for you, you know getting stuck with me all the time could be a pain eh" I said teasing.
"You have a good point there," he said joining in on the teasing.
"Hey I was kidding," I said pretending to be hurt but couldn't because I was laughing too much.
I looked at the clock again and it was almost 6:20. I wasn't like Diamond to be getting late. He's actually one of the punctual people. Maybe I'll try his cell. I picked up the phone and tried it but he had his mobile turned off.
"It isn't like him to be late," I said to Darien.
"Maybe he's stuck in traffic, you know this is New York," he said.
Suddenly the phone rang
"See that's probably him explaining about the traffic" he said again and went back to his magazine. I picked it up.
"Hello," I said hopefully to be Diamond.
"Hello Serena," an elderly voice said. It sounded like Mrs. Sheffield, Diamond's mother. She was a really kind lady but she sounded upset right now, like crying.
"Yes Annie, what's wrong?" I asked her hoping everything was fine.
"Oh Serena honey," she said and now she was sobbing.
"Calm down Annie and tell me what's wrong" I asked.
"Oh Diamond, he was in a car accident and the doctor is saying it's critical please come down at the General Hospital..."
I didn't even hear the half of it when I fainted. I didn't know then but that was the day my life turned upside down.
