She jugged me fiercely and laid kisses everywhere on my face. I couldn't just turn her away.
"Selena, I knew you would comeback despite what they said," she said as tears streamed down her cheek.
"So where are my grandchildren now, hiding are they tell them I have chocolates," she said smiling radiantly.
How could I say that I was her grandchild.
"Oh Henry would be happy to hear this," she kept rambling on and on.
"Oh I'm sorry, Mrs. Cooper isn't suppose to be out her," this lady said that looked like a nurse.
"Come along Josephine it's your nap time," the lady said once again gently leading her to the house.
"No my daughter is her for after such a long time I won't leave her," my grandmother said shouting angrily at the kind nurse.
"What's going on her?" said a main who looked about Josephine's age. His face was expressionless, a face that did a lot of masking during his time. No emotion, nothing. I bet those eyes have suffered a lot to suck the life out of them.
"LOOK, Henry, Selena's back, our daughter's back Henry," she said it like a little child just found some cookies from the cookie jar.
I looked at Seiya with some support but he was gazing at my grandmother sadly. I couldn't blame him I just couldn't.
"Margaret, can you please take Josephine to her room for her nap," he said sternly. This time my grandmother obeyed. Her face told me that she just got sent to some sort of prison.
After my grandmother and her nurse left, Henry looked at me curiously.
"Who are you and what are you doing her?" he asked me but still his face was expressionless.
"I'm your granddaughter, Serena" I said nervously waiting for his reaction.
"That's impossible, you're just one of those crooks who want money I'll give you 100$ to get off my property," he said coldly.
"What!" I said shocked. I looked at Sieya, his face was just like mine.
"You both heard me correctly," he said , by the voice he was using it sounded like he was getting angrier by the minute.
"I don't need you money sir I just came here to find my grandparents," I said angry at him to even think that.
"Well my grandchildren died in the plane crash everybody knows that," he said. It seemed like I've opened a chapter in his life that was closed forever.
"Then why do I have this," I said showing the necklace to prove that I was right. I guess I really startled him by the way his eyes were bugging out of his skull.
"I gave her that locket,' he said quietly and snatched it from me to see if it really was.
"Come in," he said his voice a bit lifter than when we first met.
"I thought you would never ask," I said smirking but inside I was relieved.
The house was really big but all I saw were pictures of me, well actually my mothers. Am I just like her? Or just the face wise.
We finally came into a room, I believe it must've been the library.
"Oh shoot Serena I just realized that I promised Taiki I won't be late for rehearsal and it's past rehearsal time I have to go sorry," Seiya said sincerely but I smelled a rat, a big huge fat lying rat.
"Sure," I smiled suspiciously. He ran so fast that you had to questions if he just vanish from thin air.
"Who was that?" he asked curiously.
"Just a friend," I said smiling nervously.
"How did you find us?" he asked now jumping to the task. Then I knew I had to tell him everything. So I told him from the beginning from Andrew's moving out to now but leaving out that I've fallen in love with my roommate.
"Andrew got married?" he asked surprised.
"yes they're both happily married," I said happily, picturing Andrew and Rita together.
"The last time I saw him he was just a toddler," he said wistfully. The surprising thing he was he came over and gave me hug. It was a big rejoicing hug.
" I can't believe this could actually happen," he said , muffling from my hair. Did I sense tears.
"I can't wait to tell Andrew this," I said excitedly.
"If only Selena knew that her children were alive," he said looking at me.
"Don't worry grandpa, both Andrew and I are here for you and grandma," I said giving him another hug.
We have a family, Andrew and I have a family, about time.
"Um grandpa what did say to Darien's grandpa?" I asked bringing them up again.
"Uh nothing," was his reply. Something was bothering him by the way he looked at me.
"Tell me," I said gently.
"I didn't know then I was hurt and wanted to shut everybody out and deny the fact my only daughter and grandchildren were dead," he said babbling so fast that it was hard for me to catch on.
"Slowly grandpa," I said laughing.
"Sorry," he said a little bit dazed.
"Well by shutting out people I didn't know that I was shutting out my loved ones that were alive, my wife and even my best friend," he said sighing loudly. I could see the wrinkles slowly coming out. He didn't look over powering the first time I saw him.
"I think it's about time to turn wrongs into rights," I said putting my hand on his assuring him that everything would be alright.
"I think I'm going to start with my wife," he said standing up from the chair.
"You do that and I'll tell Andrew the good news," I said happily.
"Okay one more thing though," he said looking at me strangely.
"What is it grandpa?" I said smiling.
"I'm glad that you're here," he said slowly smiling.
"Me too," I said and after that he left to find grandma. I got my cell out and dialed Andrew's number. After 20 rings somebody picked it up.
"This better be good whoever is calling at this ungodly hour," Andrew said frustrated. I started laughing, totally forgetting about the time change.
"Serena, what the hell! are you completely out of your mind it's freaking 3:00 in the morning," he said shouting from the other end. I guess he recognized my voice by my laugh, It mad me laugh more and soon I had tears and not after I stared crying. I'm such a dramatic person but if you were in my place you would've done the same thing.
"Serena, are you okay, tell me what's wrong, he said now more serious and less angry.
"Andrew hiccup we have a family," I said not making the least bit sense.
"Are you fucken drunk," he said now wide awake and absolutely irritated.
"I found our long lost home," I said mumbling.
"What the hell are you talking about," he said.
"We have grandparents Andrew and oh my god they're the sweetest and the coolest people ever," I said thinking about Henry and Josephine. He didn't talk for a long while, I guess he's shocked like the first time I found out about it.
"Crazy eh," I said smirking.
"Fuck yea!" I'm catching the first flight over here," he said overjoyed. We both waited for this day.
"Before I forget I have a surprise for you too but nothing like this," he said, before I could say anything he hungs up on me.
"I'm guessing that went well," my grandpa said grinning widely one arm around my grandmother. It felt strange that my grandpa was standing hear right her before my eyes along with my grandmother.
(Darien P.O.V.)
Okay where the hell is Serena! She runs wherever she feels like it! Why should I care she's probably with Seiya anyways. No worries my ass. I think the sensible thing is to call her, before I loose my bit of sanity that is still with me. I just don't want her to get hurt, she has endured so much in so little time.
'Or maybe you like her Darien'
I look around to see who it was but there was no one. Okay I'm totally loosing it. I'm just going to call her that's all, nothing else.
'Then why are your hands trembling while dialing the number'
It was the same annoying voice again.
"I didn't have coffee that's why" I said and felt a bit foolish because I was talking to walls no one else and I had 5 cups of coffee already.
I dialed Serena's number before I could hung up she picked it up.
"Hello Serena," I said trying to sound normal.
"Hey Darien,' she said really excitedly like she was happy about something.
"Oh my god Darien you're not going to believe it, Seiya and I, wait I can't explain it on the phone I'll meet you at the park near your house okay," she said laughing like she had just found a billion dollars.
Somehow the blood drains from my face.
"Darien are you still there," she said with a hint of concern.
"Yea sure," I croak it out.
"Okay see you in a bit," Serena says in a sing song voice.
All I could hear were wedding bells. Why aren't I surprise, I'm not mad just delighted. Seiya and Serena getting married.
Oh Bloody Hell
(Serena P.O.V.)
Oh my god I can't wait to tell him about my grand parents. He'll be happy to hear it. I say goodbye to them and said the next time I would be come I would bring Andrew along with me. I walk to park where I was going to meet Darien.
Soon I was running to the park to get to Darien. Maybe it was me shouting out the new or just seeing him there, looking sexy as ever.
