Leaving everything behind

The next morning I woke up with the biggest knot in my stomach; reminding me of my sad departure. Today was the day I had to leave, for good. Guilt washed over me clenching the knot in my stomach even harder. I was leaving everything behind that was held dear to me. My family and friends and now Darien's family was like my own and of course Darien himself.

I told them I'm only going for 2 weeks, what they don't know is I might have to leave for much longer than expected. I didn't want to hurt myself more by staying here. I was being selfish but I couldn't help just this once. They all came to drop me off at the airport. I swear it like having half the airport by my side. It put a sad smile on my face.

"Here's my queue," I said as the flight attendant gave the last warning for the plane that was leaving to Tokyo.

"So you're going to Tokyo call us when you get there," my grandpa said and hugged me with tears in his eyes.

"I'll be back, I promise," I said as tears slipped down my cheeks. Everybody gave hugs and kisses leaving me breathless. Soon everybody left one by one. The only one who was left was Darien Shields.

"Goodbye Serena," he said trying to envelope me into a hug but I kept my distance.

"Goodbye Darien," I said rather than giving him a hug I struck my hand out for just a mere handshake. He was taken aback a bit but soon understood. He awkwardly enveloped his enormous hand into mine. Just a simple touch: sparks spread like wildfire through my body.

I turned around and slowly walked to my destination. Tears were already descending my face. Something pulled me back.

"Serena!" Darien said. I stopped immediately, wishing him to stop me. I wanted him to stop me for making the biggest mistake.

"You'll come won't you?" he asked, his voice sounded like a child pleading for a toy.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," I said and left, out of his world for good.

After I was certain that he was gone. I quickly walked out of the plane leaving unnoticed by the flight attendants. I practically ran to the customer service desk.

"I would like to get a ticket to Italy please," I said rushing through words.

"Name please," the attendant said politely.

"Selena Moon," I said, feeling guilty to be using her name in this plan.

"We have an available seat for you that suppose to leave to Italy in couple of minutes," She said smiling at me and handing me my tickets. I thanked her and waited for my plane. Soon, I'll be able to find peace and tranquility where nobody knows me.

(Darien P.O.V.)

Everybody was seated in the family room having some desserts. Chatter was lively but it felt different without Serena. The little midget always being the center of attention brought a smile to my lips. My attention reverted back to the crowd. I saw my Grandpa fondling with his old pocket radio. I swear that radio is almost old as he is.

"I think you should get a new radio Grandpa," I said smiling to my grandpa.

"Thank you very much but this one suit me just fine the new ones are so technical its hard to find the right button," he said smiling. Everybody laughed at his comment.

"Shhh…let me listen to the signal I want to hear the evening news," he said, and soon everybody quieted down. Slowly words started forming through the shabby radio.

"Welcome to the 8 pm news I'm Christie Zen your host for tonight. Lets start with the breaking news for today. There had been a plane crash near the Tokyo area, the investigation is under its way. The plane crashed so badly that there were no living passengers. The investigators believe that it was a terrorist attack. I have been given the list of the passengers that were killed in that plane crash. Listen carefully for your loved one: Candice Thompson, Anne Johnson, Mathew Connely, Justine Impett…Serena Moon,"

Everything shattered around me. The radio even fell to the ground breaking into tiny pieces. This can't be happening, Serena is alive. Nobody spoke for long periods of time. I guess it was all sinking in. A single noise created havoc amongst the people around me.

"This can't be happening George, we just found our little angel, we can't loose her," Josephine clutched onto a broken George. Everybody was crying uncontrollably trying to gather support from one another. She left so many lives shattered to million of pieces along with her. Why didn't I stop her, I had the chance. I could have said something. Tears gushed out; my hurt was evident. My silence killed her. I killed my Sere.
