Chapter 2

"Serena!" Irlene shouted up the stairs to her daughter, but no answer came the reply. Irlene put her towel on the side near the sink and marched up the stairs to her daughter's room. But as soon as she heard crying from inside she knew something was wrong.

Irlene ran inside the room and looked at the sight before her, there, her only son was sitting on the floor of her daughters bedroom crying.

"Sammy, what's wrong?" Irlene asked, walking over to him and kneeling down.

Sammy looked up at her and smiled. "Oh hi mum, just practicing for my performance tonight, Mika said that to get the crying right I should smell something that would make me cry and Serena's socks could walk all by themselves!" He joked and Irlene smiled happily, but then the smile vanished and she realised why she had ascended the stairs.

"Sammy, have you seen your sister?" She asked him, standing up once again and watching him, waiting for an answer.

"Serena hasn't been home all night, I bet she is over at that guy Darien's place." Sammy said, trying to obviously get Serena in trouble.

"Sammy could you ring around all of her mates houses, I will go to her school and see if she is there." Her mother said and began to walk out the room. She heard her son laugh and turned to face him, "What's so funny?" She asked him and frowned.

"Serena, at School when she doesn't need to be, now you have to be joking mum!" Sammy burst out, in stitches at the thought of Serena going to school on a weekend when she needn't be.

Irlene left the room and walked towards her own, she looked in at her husband sleeping peacefully on their bed and smiled.

One day Serena will have all this and then she might grow some responsibility! She thought and walked down the stairs to leave the house.

Darien looked up from the place he occupied on his bed, the constant tossing and turning in the night had crumpled his hair and the covers were all askew. Sleep had not welcomed him, and consciousness not comforted him. His thoughts ever plagued by Serena, his mind constantly thinking about the way she looked, the way she acted and the way she now hated him.

All around his room were pictures of them both, smiling and happy, but his hands were burnt merely at the touch. All around the room was the smell of Serena, as though she was there with him, watching his every move.

Darien turned to look out the balcony at the rising sun and sighed, tears fell from his already red eyes and splashed against the sodden bed sheets.

All night had he cried for his beloved to return, but all was in vain and all night had he tried to make sense of the mistake he must have made but that was in vain also. Darien sat and watched as people came out of their houses, some as couples getting ready for work and some single bound to find the one they were destined for, together living a happy life.

Darien had found his beloved, but only to be rejected by her and driven into the ground by guilt, anger and sadness.

Knocking came at his door which Darien ignored with great ease, his Serena would not come round to see him after ending it… but maybe she had been in a bad mood… maybe she didn't really mean it and came to apologise and he just ignored her attempts.

Another knock sounded and his heart became quicker, maybe it was her, it had to be, she had come back to him, she did really love him!

Darien sprang from his bed and nearly dived on the door as he opened it with a huge smile plastered on his face.

"If I had known you would be so glad to see me, I would have come over more!" Came the voice from his visitor. His smile faded a little, almost to the look of a smirk and he noticed the other persons face drop also. "You weren't expecting me was you? You have forgotten haven't you?" Came the reply. Darien nodded and walked back into his apartment leaving the door open for his visitor.

"Well then why don't I give you something to remember me by?" Darien turned to look at his visitor, and stood still as the figure ascended upon him.

"On today's news, a young man was found beaten in his apartment, he is currently in a life threatening coma and no family has been found, the police are asking anyone with information to come forwards as the person responsible will be charged with attempted murder." At that Serena turned the T.V. off, she didn't want to hear about random people's problems.

Serena sat in a gorgeous apartment a few blocks away from her house, she was staying with a friend until she could figure things out, and he had rang her school letting them know she wouldn't be in due to sickness.

"Serena do you want some breakfast?" He asked, walking into the lounge and rubbing his wet hair with a small white towel.

Serena shook her head and looked up at her 'saviour'.

"No thanks Alan." She replied and pulled her legs up to her chest, her arms hugging her knees protectively as she watched Alan retreat back into his bedroom. "But I want Darien." She simply said and put her chin on her knees.

Serena didn't want things to be bad between them and she hated hurting him, but it was the only thing she could do.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Came the noise from within her jacket. She pulled out her communicator and waited as Raye's face came on the screen.

"Serena, we need you now, the cosmetics on 3rd street." Serena nodded and put the communicator away. Duty calls!

Alan walked back into the room, "Serena are you sure you don't want…" But he stopped she was gone.

What do you think? Poor Darien! I feel sorry for him, but i love torturing him! It is so funny! Hee hee anyway please review! Lots of love bobs xxxxxxx
