Sorry for taking so long. Got caught up in life. Well I hope you enjoy, this one is slightly longer than others as apology for making you wait so long for the next update. Also i would like to say a few things to some reviewers
Miss Snazzy: You're wrong about who has been raping her, but don't fret all will be revealed in due time and no there are no Sailor Scouts in this story.
mangamania: Thanks for all the names you gave me you really helped me out, i actually picked one of yours but you will have to keep reading to find out which. Again Thanks
TropicalRemix: all questions answered below besides what exactly is in her drink, that will be revealed in a later chapter.
Piper Chris Melinda Halliwell: Serena was running off first to Molly's then she was just running to get away as said below. As to who would hurt her... a little mystery is good for the mind.
loveinthebattlefield: thanks for reviewing and here is your update (sorry for taking so long)
Soapy Harlequin: You were right in everything you said and i took to heart everything, i even went back and changed a few things in the first chaper, but there were also somethings that you said that i couldn't change in my story because those things would be revealed later on. I would like to once more thank you for taking the time to review and reading my story. I am trying to work on my writing style by putting my stories here and you are helping so THANK YOU! p.s. I LOVE YOU! (in a writer to writer sort of way) Hope you enjoy this chapter.
"Run, I have to run, get as far way as possible," Serena thought to herself as she ran from Molly. She wasn't looking where she was going, just running. She ran right into one of the people she was trying to avoid. His arms wrapped around her to keep her from falling.
"Let go of me Darien," Serena tried her best to break free from his grasp.
"No, not until you promise not to run and we can talk. I know that you just ran from Molly's, she called me." Knowing that he wouldn't budge, Serena begrudgingly agreed. Darien slowly withdrew his arms, watching her, "Let's walk and talk," Darien suggested. Serena once again agreed.
"Why did you really run away Serena? I know it doesn't have anything to do with your parents, I know you too well, I can tell when you're lying."
"What do you care?" she asked venomously.
"Because you're my friend and I care about you."
Serena simply scoffed at his words, "You don't care, you've never cared what's been going on in my life, and you've never shown an interest before."
"I may not have been as active in your life I should have, but I've always cared. I still communicated with you. And I was there when you needed me…you just nev–"
Serena stopped and turned to look at him sharply, cutting him off, "Don't you dare say I never needed you. When I needed you most, you weren't there and I don't want you here now."
"What are you talking about?"
"Last year… things…happened and," tears leaked out of her eyes as she tried to continue, "I needed someone and I turned to you, but…" She didn't need to go on Darien knew what she was talking about. He felt horrible that he wasn't there then, but to make it up to her he had to be here for her now. They had finally reached Darien's house. Darien managed to talk Serena into coming inside.
Once inside Serena said, "I have no memories."
Darien was confused, "What?"
"Every time I went to a party I would wake up in a room by myself…naked," Serena glanced at Darien, he was watcher her stoically, "My clothes were always strewn around the room; I would gather them up and get dressed. After that I would join the party. I would find my friends usually looking for me. I would never remember ever even deciding to go to that party much less arriving or anything that happened to me while I was there. I never told my friends anything, never even hinted at my amnesia. I was too ashamed."
Here Serena paused trying to calm herself. She took a deep breath and continued, "This happened seven times before I ran away. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. How could I sleep with at least seven different people and not remember? I just felt so dirty, I couldn't face anyone, not my friends and definitely not my parents. I ran away hoping it would never happen again. Then this morning I woke up and I…I…I," Serena couldn't continue she broke into heart-retching sobs. Darien got up and pulled Serena into his arms and comforted her as best as possible. There were no words to console her, all he could do was hold her until she stopped crying.
After a couple of hours later Serena had cried herself to sleep. Darien tried to remove himself from her arms, but she had a death grip on him. So he just relaxed and when he did she snuggled closer to him. Darien smiled as he fell into a deep sleep dreaming about the girl in his bed.
Serena stirred slightly, she was so warm and comfortable, and she didn't want to get up. The sun was against her sleeping in; it shined brightly behind her eyelids. She squeezed her eyes tightly together and dug her face deeper into her pillow to try and block the sunlight.
"Ow Serena, watch the nails." Serena snapped her eyes open at Darien's voice. Her face turned red when she realized the position they were in. His chest had been her pillow. She had her arms wrapped around his upper torso and had hugged him closer when she had tried to avoid the sun and had inadvertently dug her fingernails into his back. Serena quickly pulled her arms away from him, mumbled an apology as she climbed out of bed, and walked towards the kitchen.
Damn, how did he always do this to her? She had, had a major crush on him in high school, but thought she had gotten over that. Going off her heart rate she obviously hadn't. Serena glanced back into the bedroom and realized that she had never had a crush on Darien, no, for her it was love at first sight, even if it took her a couple of years to figure it out. Serena smiled softly to herself.
"What are you smiling about?" Darien asked her.
"Oh, nothing."
"Come on, you made me drag all the bad stuff out of you, don't make me have to drag the good stuff out too. It's depressing."
Serena giggled, her first real laugh in a long time. Talking with Darien coupled with her realization of her love for him lifted a giant weight off her shoulders that she hadn't realized had been there and gave her courage, "Well, I realized that I'm in…" The doorbell rang.
"Hold that thought," Darien said as he answered the door. "Mother, what a pleasant surprise, I was just about to make breakfast, do you want to join us?"
"Us?" came a haughty voice from the door, "Darien you have company this early?"
"Sort of." Darien walked into the kitchen followed by who Serena assumed to be his mother. She was smartly dressed in designer jeans and a cashmere sweater. It made Serena feel awkward about her slept in wrinkled ensemble.
"Sere, I would like you to meet my mother; mom, this is Serenity my…roommate."
"Nice to meet you Serenity," Darien's mom shook Serena's hand, her eyebrows raised in inspection of her son's roommate.
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Shields, and please call me Serena, Serenity is too much of a mouthful." Darien's mom smiled and nodded then disengaged her hand from Serena's.
"So Darien, why don't you go start breakfast while Serenity and I get to know each other." Darien agreed and Serena and Mrs. Shields went and sat in the living room.
"So, Serenity, what are you doing now? Going to school, working?:
"Oh, I was living at a University but I can no longer afford the dorm. So I'm taking classes online while I'm living here, and I'm looking for a job, but have been very unsuccessful."
"Well, I'm sorry for your troubles. I'm glad that my son has been taking care of you. It shows that my husband and I have taught him well."
Serena nodded quietly and again noticed her sorry appearance, "Excuse me Mrs. Shields, would you excuse me while I go clean up before we eat." Mrs. Shields nodded her consent thinking that it would be the perfect opportunity to poke around and find more about her son's roommate.
As soon as she was sure that Serena was occupied by taking a shower and Darien engrossed in his cooking she began her search in Darien's room. Mrs. Shields searched all over the house and found something, or more accurately found something that was missing. She wasn't going to let just any tramp be with her son. This bitch was going to get what's coming to her.
