Chapter 8 – A New Future
It has been a long week since Mr Tsukino had been put away behind bars thanks to Darien and Serena, The young blond was ecstatic she was finally leaving the hospital today, She was a free woman no doubt about that, Having a whole new life ahead of her. One without abuse or attempted rape, Serena packed her bags while looking out of the window thinking back to when she woke up from her operation. All her friends were there, including her new boyfriend Darien Shields, after hearing the news everyone was shocked but not to say the least happy for their best friend.
When that little celebration was over, one woman was stood at the end of the bed, not sure whether to move or not. Serena was shocked to see her there her own mother had come it was a miracle. The woman had tear streaks on her face so the blond knew her mother had been crying about the whole situation, the small conversation that started had gone quite bumpy but in the end they made up putting the differences aside and Serena agreed to move in with her mother, an her mothers new family.
A knock on the hospital door came, the young blond turned around to see her Knight in shining armour. "Hey you, come to rescue me from this miserable hospital?" chuckling Darien walked across the pure white room and hugged his princess "indeed I have, You will now be whisked away from these dangerous walls into the wide open field of greens and the birds chirping over us as we drive through the city to your new home!" Serena rolled her eyes as her boyfriend had tried to sound so romantic but funny at the same time. "Oh Darien, aren't you a romantic doll, but yes to drive all the way to that new house that, the woman lives in that abandoned me for so long"
Serena sat on the newly made bed as Darien walked up to her "You don't trust her do you?" Gripping the sheets as her knuckles went a little white "To be honest, I want to trust her just her actions in the past wants me to think otherwise to this. If she ran out on me once, what says she wont do it again. I mea-" She couldn't get to finish her sentence as a gentle but heart melting kiss was placed against her lips. Once they parted he placed his hands on her shoulders gently "Everything will be just fine Serena, Even if she does end up running off on you again, I can guarantee you that I won't. I love you and now that we are together, I want it to stay that way for as long as it can" nodding standing up Serena hugged her boyfriend "Same here, I don't know what I'd do now without you" After the heart-warming hug, Darien picked up Serena's bag and they walked out of the hospital as a couple. Hand in hand, 4 girls had been watching them grinning their heads off.
"It's about time those too really had us worried for a second, I thought we would have had to plan them to get together" Spoke Mina, Lita nodded in agreement "I know! I don't think I could have lasted 2 more minutes with their fighting! Anyway, how about we go down to the crown arcade and get some Cheesy fries with some shakes?" they all agreed and left.
The drive down to Irene's house was a quiet one, but that was because Serena was taking in every little detail she could possible get her eye's on, she had never been up this side of town before due to it was where all the rich and snobby people were. As Darien double looked at the address, Serena was in Awe at the new house. Shaking her head no scratch that, more like a castle! Looking it over it was a 4 story mansion that had over 50 rooms, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, games room, you name it, and they had it. "Does she really live at this address Serena?" Serena nodded "Must be, I'm not all that surprised to be honest, the woman was always mad over trying to get a man with high in power with lots of money. She always spent dad's wages on whatever junk she could get her hands on." Nodding Darien hit the buzzer to the gates, speaking to the security. After giving the go ahead, the large golden gates opened.
Darien's red sports car drove up to the mansions front doors, their stood waiting in proper manner with her husband, what looked like a son three maids and a butler. After coming to a halt Darien got out and opened Serena's side of the car, once stepping out onto the gravel pavement she was wrapped in a hug from her mother "Serena, I'm glad you and your lovely boyfriend could make it. I thought you both would struggle to find the residence." Serena shook her head "No, we found it quite fine; after all you can't miss the big golden gates while driving up the street." Rolling her eyes as her mother released her from the bear hug. She coughed a little to clear her throat, "Well none the less Serena, I'd like you to meet my husband, Mac Moon, and this is our son your younger brother Samuel George Moon. Then we have our maids, Claire, Sarah and Tina last is our trusty butler Michele. If you have any questions you can ask them or come directly to me or Mac." Serena waved to them then took a deep breath looking at her surroundings, in the middle was a fountain with 3 dolphins together squirting water out every so often, the grasses was a healthy green, but there was something missing "Mother, Why don't you have a single flower in your garden?"
Irene blinked and looked around "Oh, I don't think we ever made any floral arrangements for the gardens. Would you like some planted?" Serena nodded her favourite thing was flowers, let alone four colours of flowers, "Yes please, I'd like some roses and if it's ok, I'd like to plant them myself. Mac looked to his wife then to the girl, he had been told that Serena wasn't going to be used to the new life she has been given but he had a feeling this girl had potential "Well Serena, I don't see why not, so long as you promise to keep tending to them after planting them. Sort of gaining your own responsibilities" she smiled and bowed to Mac "Thank you, I will do my best." After their talk they all went inside to the Dining hall. "You both must be hungry after your long travel up here, its lucky you both arrived in time for lunch. We've prepared such a nice meal for you" Spoke one of the maids Sarah it was, she had long shoulder length pink hair, green eyes, and her voice was gentle and sweet. As if she did not want to hurt anyone, Claire on the other hand seemed little protective over Sarah, she had the same hair and eyes just a colder look with a monotone voice. "I apologise about Claire, She's my older sister, and so after our parents died she has taken it upon herself to look after me. We work here so I am able to be put through college in the top Tokyo University." Serena nodded understanding; she knew the feeling from when she lived her lonely life in her room without a mother and a drunken father.
"Really well you're around same age as me right Sarah? How about when you get time to yourself we can study together. I want to go to that same University; if we stick together we just might make it."
Both girls smiled and made a pinky promise, this was going to be the new life of Serena Tsukino, and she wanted to make sure every minute counted, and that she could help as many people as possible.
