Understanding Hurt
Chapter 8: Attempting Suicide
Serena hit her snooze button on her alarm clock. She rolled over knocking her pillows to the floor and she sat up throwing the covers off of her. She headed down the stairs, going to make her breakfast. She noticed that Seiya had already left for work. After she finished her breakfast she put her bowl in the sink and headed back upstairs to her room.
When she reached her room she walked inside. She grabbed her TV remote and turned on the TV. She sat down on her bed and kicked something. She bended down and moved the covers out of the way. She reached under her bed and pulled out a box that she remembered holded all of her favorite things.
She sat back on her bed and opened the box. She pulled out pictures pictures of her and her parents with Seiya, her and Raye when they were still friends and continued to pull out more stuff. Then she came across a pile of her and Mina and looked through them all remembering all the fun times they had together.
As she looked through the pictures the crash started to replay in her head. "NO! NO!" She yelled not wanting to remember anymore. She laid down on her bed and cried as hard as she can. It started to become more and more harder for her to breathe. She reached over to her nightstand and pulled out her knife that she kept in there and climbed down to the floor.
She cried harder as she brung the knife closer to her. She started to remember Darien and picked up her phone dialing his number, hoping he would answer and he did. "Hey Ser."
She let out a heavy breath still crying. "Go-od-bye Dari-en." She said choking out the words.
"Wait!" He yelled already knowing what's going on. "Serena don't!"
She knelt on the ground with the knife in her hand and whispered, "I'll see you soon Mina." She cried harder as she raised the knife. Darien bursted through the door yelling, "SERENA STOP! DON'T DO THIS!"
She looked up at him. "I'm sorry this is for the best." She said as she brought the knife closer to her chest. He ran over to her and grabbed her wrists, pinning her to the ground forcing the knife out of her hand. She struggled trying to get him off. "Darien!" She yelled still crying.
Darien was so angry that she would even think about killing herself. "NO SERENA! STOP NOW! I MEAN IT!" He said, yelling. She stopped struggling and looked at him wide-eyed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What do you think your doing? Do you have any idea how Seiya would feel if you kill youself? How I would feel?" He said still pinning her down. She just stared at him, not taking any of this into thought. He stared back at her and cupped her face and pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes widened but she still kissed him back.
Seiya walked in and Serena pulled away from Darien, and looked at Seiya then quickly looked away and Darien looked up at Seiya. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't-" He stopped talking and walked out closing the door behind him. She looked up at Darien with tears still running down her face. He looked at her staring into her eyes which were red and puffy.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" She asked and he nodded still staring into her eyes.
