Hey guys! This story is about to be over! So stay tuned to see how this story ends. Oh and that New Harry potter book is so good! I'm not finished with it yet so please don't tell me the ending in your reviews! Please and thank you.
Darien walked silently over to his liquor cabinet in his study. He took out a large bottle of whisky. He uncorked the bottle took a quick gulp of it and went over to his desk. He propped his legs onto of the newly polished desk and slightly leaned back in the chair. The phone gave a shrill ring but Darien made no move to answer it. After a few rings the phone went silent again. About two minutes later the door bell ring. He smirked to himself. He already knew it was Andrew, but he didn't want to talk to anyone right now. There was a soft click that echoed through the house. Darien swung his from off the desk. Someone was in his house.
"Darien! I know you're in here! There's no use in hiding from me," Andrew's voice rang out. Darien rolled his eyes and got up. He walked down the hallway and into the family room where he saw Andrew laid back in one of his chair's watching TV. "Oh there you are," Andrew said calmly not even looking away from the TV.
"What do you want and how did you get into my house?" asked Darien stepping down into his family room. He took a seat that was right next to Andrew's. Andrew turned off the TV and looked at his best friend. He walked over to him and grabbed the brandy bottle from his hand.
"I swear you and Serena don't know how to solve your problem's without alcohol in the mix do you?" Asked Andrew taking a big gulp of whisky himself.
"Don't mention her name in my house" Darien mumbled angrily. Andrew walked over to the patio doors and through the bottle out. "Hey! I wanted to drink that!" shouted Darien as he watched the bottle smash onto the hard concrete ground. Andrew rounded on Darien.
"Darien your going to shut up and listen. Serena was in love with you!"
"More like in love with my money" Darien mumbled. Andrew walked over and grabbed Darien by the shirt. Darien, who was a little tipsy, tried to pry himself from Andrew's grip.
"Serena did love you Darien! Why would she be after your money? She's as rich as you, maybe a little richer than you!" Andrew through Darien back into the chair. He ran his hand through his sand blonde hair. "Darien you gotten listen to me. Serena risked her life to be with you. She let herself get humiliated in front of all those people for you…." There was a short pause before he spoke again. "Darien I know you still have feelings for her. You don't propose to someone one night, with love and passion, and the next moment hate her guts. I have to get back to work…call me if you need anything." Andrew grabbed his jacket from off the chair he had been sitting.
"Andrew…" Darien said. His eyes were looked glossy, as if he were dreaming.
"Yeah?" Andrew asked in bored tone.
"Serena-I mean Serenity was everything to me. She made my world bright when I was surrounded by darkness, But the best thing she did for me was, she broke down all the walls I had built around my heart. Drew I want her back, but I afraid of getting my heart broken again." Andrew was shocked to say the least. He set his coat back down and walked over to his best friend.
"Look man…I can't promise you that you won't get hurt again. I when Raye told me-."
"You knew and you didn't tell me?!" Darien's asked angrily. Andrew sighed. It was going to have come out sooner or later.
"Serena told Raye and the girls a while ago when they first met. The day you took Serena out, you know the day after we had went clubbing. Raye asked if we could hold a meeting at Chad's house. That's when she told us who Serena was. And how she ran away. Darien was silent for a few minutes. Andrew could tell he was going over everything he had just heard in his head.
"I'm so confused Drew…I keep hearing Serena ran away, but I don't know why!"
"I don't think I'm the one who should tell you that. I think you should hear it from Serena herself." Darien jumped up from the chair suddenly.
"You're right Drew! I should go to her directly and ask her for myself"
"Will lover boy your going to have to wait on that one. Serena's in New York. She went to confront her parents or some shit like that. Mina told me a few minutes after she left."
"Oh" Darien sat back down on the couch again. " Well when she gets back I'll ask her for myself… Do you think she'll lie to me again." Asked Darien.
"Nah, You keep forgetting she was hurt by all this too, and you walking out on her didn't make the situation any better."
"How is it that I'm the one who got lied to for the past 3 months and I'm the one who ends up taking the blame for everything?"
"Because you're a guy and guy's always get blamed for girls mistakes" Andrew said with a chuckle. Darien laughed a little as well. "Well I really need to get to work. I'll see you later."
"I should go to work as well. God knows that if I'm not there for one day my stocks could fall straight into the toilets." Andrew laughed and lightly patted Darien on the back.
New York 9:00 am
Steam rolled out of the bathroom as a beautiful blonde walked out with a pink robe on and a white towel wrapped around her wet hair. She walked over to the bed and took a brush out of her suitcase. There was a loud buzzing noise coming from her cell phone that was on the nightstand. She walked over to the phone and saw the name Raye flashing on the screen. She smiled and opened her phone.
"What's up?"
"Umm…let me see, someone said she was going to call when she landed, but did she? NO! And she had everyone worried about her!" Raye shouted through the phone. Serena laughed and rolled eyes.
"I'm sorry I totally forgot. You know I can be a space case sometimes. I went to my parents house," Serena with a hint of saddest in her voice.
"What! Wait! Let me get the girls on the phone before you say anything. We're all dying to know what happened." Serena giggled as Raye pushed a button. A few seconds later Raye had called Mina, who called Lita, who called Amy and now they were all on the phone.
"Ok Sere everybody's here. Now you can tell us what happened." Raye said. Serena laughed and started tell them the story.
"He hit you!" shout Lita.
"Serena I don't care if he's your father. He can't hit you! I knew you should have taken someone with you!" Said Amy outraged.
"Amy, Its only a busted lip. It's not like he beat me up. And besides I kind of deserved it."
"Sere I don't care if you deserved it or not. He shouldn't have hit you!" Amy protested.
"OK I don't want to argue with you guys. I going to get this straightened out with my parents. I'm meeting my mom at this place called the horseshoe country club at 10. We used to go there when I was little. She asked for us to talk, just mother and daughter."
"Well, make it quick we want you to come home. We miss you and word on the gossip network is Darien misses you too" Said Mina.
"Please Mina don't play!" Said Serena.
"I'm not Andrew called me a little while ago saying that he had went over Darien's house. When he got there he was a mess. He ended up saying how he missed you and he wanted you back." Said Mina in a giggly voice. Serena was shocked Darien wanted her back!
"So, you need to get your ass back to L.A an get your man back! and I really need your help in the office!" Said Raye. Serena laughed.
"Well, let me go so I can meet my mother and get this stuff sorted out," Serena said. Everyone disconnect from the line until it was just she and Raye left.
"Serena before you go I just wanted to say good luck, and if you need my help just call me."
"Thanks Raye,"
"No problem Sere, and listen if you're in trouble and there's no way for you to talk to me just dial my number. You don't have to say anything just call." Raye said with a serious voice.
"Raye nothing is going to happen. I'll be home soon. If everything goes well I might say a couple more days, just to make sure my parents and I are good."
"Serena I'm serious. I have this feeling like something is going to happen. And you know what happens when I get these feelings. So please be careful. Promise me."
"Ok Raye, I promise."
"Alright you better hurry up before your late space case" Said Raye laughing to lighten up the mood.
"Oh! Shut up Pyro!" Serena said laughing. Serena hung up the phone and went to get dress.
Serena pulled into the parking lot the horseshoe country club. She parked her car into an opened parking spot but didn't immediately get out. She sat there trying to go over everything she wanted to say to her mother in her head. Her hands where still clutched to the steering wheel. For a moment she considered backing out and leaving. What if her mother didn't really want to make peace with her? What if she want to chew her out like her father did, but only in a public way. 'Ok know I'm being paranoid! Mother wouldn't do that…would she?' she laid her head on her hands. When she did something poked her in hand. She lifted up to see the engagement ring from Darien. She smiled at it. Darien was still in love with her. She had to make good with her parents so she could get back to him. She brought her arm up to look at the time. It was 9:55 she still had five minutes before she had to meet her mother. She looked back at the ring. As she looked at it she realized something. If she went in there with the ring on her finger, her mother would defiantly see it. She didn't want her to see it until she was ready to tell her. But where was she going to up it. She couldn't leave it in the car. Never! This was like her good luck charm. Serena rubbed her neck in frustration. As she did she felt a chain to a necklace. She looked down and saw the cross necklace that she had bought while she was shopping one day. She quickly undid the clasp of the necklace and took the cross off. She slowly slid the ring onto the chain. When she was finished she clipped the clasp back together. She looked in her re-view mirror to see how it looked. 'Perfect' she thought. She looked at her watch again. She had 1 minute to spare. She opened the car door and got out. She walked over to the entrance and opened the door. She walked pass the bar, where all the men that belonged to the horseshoe hung out. They would usually sit and watch the game and smoke $200 dollar cigars. She opened another door and went out onto the deck were all the women who belonged to the horseshoe stayed and gossiped, while drinking tea. As soon as she walked out onto the deck she spotted her mother sitting at her usual table. Serena started to make her way over to her. When she was half way there her mother looked up and smiled at her. Irene got up and hugged Serena when she finally made it there.
"I'm so glad you showed up" Said Irene. Serena just nodded and sat down. "So how are you doing?"
"Mom, as much as I want to sit back and have this lovely conversation with you we need to first get everything else out the way," Said Serena. She wasn't trying to sound like a bitch, but she wanted to move this along. Irene nodded. There was long pause before she spoke.
"Sere…I don't know what to say. I feel like you have this grudge against me and no matter what I do or say you don't seem to want to break it," She said with sadness written all over her features. Serena didn't know what to say. She was torn between running into her mother's arms and telling her everything was alright, but then on the other hand she wanted to tell her off. Serena sighed. She was so confused.
"Mom, I … I love you. You know that. Its just every time I try and pull away you and dad are jerking back." She said trying to get the right words out.
"Sweetie I know me and your father can be tough sometimes, but it's because we love you. We never wanted to hurt you."
"Mom it's not about you and Dad being tough on me, because if that was the case I wouldn't have run away! I can deal with the toughness but I can't deal with is you and dad controlling aspect my life."
"Were not controlling-."
"Yes you are! I'm 20 years old and the only guy I ever dated was Jeff and the only reason why I was dating him was because you guys set him up with me. Mom I'm 20 years old and I have never had a job before. Mom I'm 20 and I've never done anything for myself or by myself. When I moved to LA-."
"You mean Ran away to LA."
"No I mean moved. You can't really classify me as a runaway. I'm 20 not some teenager. So yes, when I moved to LA I found a great paying job. I even bought my own house, and I'm dating this wonderful guy…well I use to be until Jeff-."
"Wait, stop Jeff knew where you were?"
"Well not until recently. He tracked me down and told my fiancée who I really was!"
"Fiancée!?" Irene shouted. Serena could not believe she had just sold herself out.
"I was just kidding on the whole fiancée thing mom" Serena lied. Irene's eyes darted to Serena's ring finger. Irene grabbed her hand.
"If you weren't engaged then why is there a ring mark on your finger?" Serena had to look at her finger now. There indeed was a ring mark on her ring finger. "You better start explaining everything right now" Said Irene in voice that Serena had never heard before. I was like telling her death is on its way you don't talk. Serena told her mother everything: from Raye and the girls, to the fab 5 and how she and Darien met. she also told her how Jeff found her. Irene was shocked and looked drained of all emotions.
"So you really had no clue that Jeff had found me?"
"I swear to you Serenity I did not. So where's the ring?" Irene asked. Serena looked at her mother for a minute and reached down her shirt and pulled the necklace out. Her mother gasped."Sere that's the most beautiful ring I have ever seen" Irene leaned over to get a better look. Tears started to form in the corners of her eyes."Serenity I love you. I want you to have everything, and if that means letting you go then, I guess this is goodbye." Irene said with tears now streaming down his face. Serena got up and walked around to her mother and hugged her, she was now crying as well.
"Thank you mommy" Serena whispered into her mother's ear. Irene hugged her daughter tighter. When she let go Serena went and sat back in her seat.
"How are we going to convince daddy?"
"You leave that to me" Irene said with a smile.
"No! I want to be there. I want talk with him as well. I know pissed him off yesterday and I want to apologize." Irene smiled at her daughter.
"Well, he'll be home in 2 minutes. How about we caught him there. I'll just call the limo."
"No, don't call the limo…I want to drive you." Irene looked at her daughter cautiously, but agreed. When they got to her car Irene was speechless.
"This is your car?"
"Oh no this is Raye's. My car is back in LA." Serena smiled and got into the car. Irene got in as well.
" What kind of car do you have?"
"Oh, it depends on what car your talking about. I have three.I have sliver Lamborghini Diablo, a black dodge viper , and a white landrover" Serena laughed at Irene's face. She turned her head to the front of the car and fastended her seat belt quickly.
"Hold on" Serena giggled as she backed out of the parking space. As soon as she clear she slammed on the gas sped off toward her parent's mansion.
