Changing Everything Ch6: Unfinished Business

Serena glanced at her clock; it read 2:25 A.M. She didn't really feel like sticking around anymore, so she snuck out of her house to take a walk. Everything was so confusing. She had new emotions stirred with Diamond, and Darien… she wasn't to sure about. She no longer wanted to fit in with this lie she was living. She wanted to break free.

She stopped her train of thought when she realized the bench she had been aiming to think more at was already taken. From the back the lamplight shone on glossy ebony hair. She wasn't sure, but she was wondering if it was Darien. Just to be sure she wanted to check. So she quickly went around all the red rose bushes and tried to get a sneak peak. But all her fake clumsiness rubbed off on her as she tripped over a rock on the ground.

"Hello? Who's there?"

"Hey…Darien." Darien instantly recognized that voice.

"Serena? Is that you?"

"Yea…"

"Serena, about last night-"

"Wait! Darien… don't say anything, just let me explain first so you can understand. You see, before I moved her I had a lot of friends. Not just a set group. I was able to be liked by most of my class, and do other things I love to do. Like theatre, track, soccer, art, and being smart. We never secluded into groups where you could only do that and nothing else. But after I moved here it was different. My looks kept me from everything I loved, and I went into a falsehood of pretending to be something I'm not, when instead I should be everything I am. I was told if I didn't get with the right group my school life would be miserable, and you know the only right group was the populars'. So naively I accepted that. But later on I learned that wasn't the right choice, none of them were. I didn't want to believe that I was restricted to what I can do. That's why I'm sorry to say this, but we can't go out anymore. I mean sure I like you, a lot of girls do. But if it weren't for our titles of being most popular pushing us together, we wouldn't be together. I only want to be with someone who likes me for all of me, not this pertinacious me. Anyways, sorry I'm rambling. Let me get to the point. I'm not going to be popular anymore. I want to be smart, for the sake of my parents who no longer believe in my potential. I want to act; it's the only place right now that gives me great joy. I want to draw, even though I suck. I want to have different friends, like on that loves to bake, or is a genius, or has a fiery attitude, or one that believes she's the goddess of love. I want no more limits. I want to do it all. Because I want to prove to others that you can be more." Whew! That was a long speech. I bet he didn't see that coming.

After Serena's long speech, it triggered a specific memory in Darien's head. I remember the first day of school in 2nd grade; my parents dropped me off together. When I told them how excited I was and I couldn't choose what I wanted to do first my mom told me, "You can do anything you want, let know one stop you." After that my mom gave me a red lip imprint on my right cheek, my father tousled my hair, and I waved good-bye. I didn't know that would be the last time I saw them.

Why did I suddenly remember that now? I forgot she said that. I bet right now they are disappointed in me. Wait… Did she just break up with me? Ouch that hurts. Hold the phone, I'm the great Darien Shields. But then, why am I sad. I think I like this side of her, she's so determined. I want to get to know the real her.

And what about this whole trying everything? That's going to ruin everything. But if that's what she wants, and it will make her happy, so be it. Speaking of happy, am I really happy? I don't think so. Maybe I was not only acting to everyone else, but myself too. Well as that saying goes, "If you can't beat them…join them."

Serena was still waiting for Darien's reply, as he seemed to be deep in thought. Right now she was seeing another different side to Darien, it was not really in how he was acting , but in his presence. For once he didn't give off "I'm a cocky bastard attitude." He was leaning back on the bench, his hair seemed more mellow then his usual messy hair style at school, he was wearing some…BOXERS!…and a plain white shirt, through it I could see his gorgeous body that I've only seen up close when we went to the beach once, his lips were pursed and look very kissable, did I just say that…I've never been passionately kissed by him just a chaste kiss, and he has on a very serious face expression.

"Serena…" She was tired of sitting so she sat down next to him, and locked eyes with him. " I'll help you. No, I mean…I want to do it with you." He said this in a serious tone she noted. And maybe it would be better to have someone there with me. Two after all is better then one.

"Okay" She replied with a assuring smile. She was so happy, and she didn't know why, but she gave him a hug. He in turn hugged her back, and she felt something new.

"Here, lets go home and talk more tomorrow you look sleepy." He whispered in her hair. She nodded broke away, then gave him a lingering peck on the cheek. With that she turned around and headed home. "Wait, Serena!" She turned around to face him in the distance. He started running towards her. "Let me walk you home so you'll be safe." The rest of their walk was in silence, but both of them knew there was something more then friendship between them. After that, both went to sleep as soon as they hit their bed. And all was well for now.

The End…

Just Kidding!
