Understanding Hurt
Chapter 12: Was It Him?
Darien's POV
I picked up the phone and dialed her number for the fiftieth time today. As soon as I heard the first ring I quickly hung up.
"Damn it Darien! What the hell is wrong with you? Just let the phone ring." I said frustrated with myself. I'm such a coward.
Serena's POV
I was awake but still covered and buried in my blankets, still lying in my bed, like I have been for the past week.
I still haven't heard anything from... Darien.
It's becoming harder to say his name. It's like he doesn't exist anymore.
Seiya...He finally got the hint that I don't want to be bothered anymore. But to be honest I miss him bothering me. Trying to get me to eat, to come out of my room, to make friends...to move on with my life.
My life isn't the same anymore, it's become more complicated. I can't handle it.
Darien's POV
I grabbed my coat and headed out into the freezing cold weather, making my way down the sidewalk to her house.
Serena's POV
I pulled the covers over my head when I heard the front door open and close. The sound. was. so. loud!
Darien, he was gone. I knew that I needed to move on.
Darien's POV
I was out of breath, standing infront of her house. I glanced up at the window. The one I knew that had her bedroom on the other side. I quickly looked away as I felt the hurt over take me.
Serena's POV
Knowing that I had to get up, I uncovered myself and jumped out of bed.
"You can do it Serena. It's going to be okay." I said to myself, letting out a heavy sigh.
I walked over to my windows, opening my curtains. For the first time in days. I looked out the window and noticed a man standing outside my house, his back to me.
I walked away, heading to my computer. I stopped dead in my tracks. I knew the back of his head when I saw it. I ran back over to my window only to find him gone...
What was I thinking? Darien was gone. I knew that. He told me. He was gone for good.
Darien's POV
I started walking back home. I couldn't do it. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't. I loved her a lot...more than anything, but I couldn't stand to hurt her more than I already had.
