Who did he want? That was the one question he had to answer and all his inner turmoil would be gone. All he had to do was decide if he was in love with Serena or not. It should be easy, but it had been a long time since Darien had been able to decipher his feelings and emotions. His friendship with Nathan was long and complicated and he found it strange that he had fought him the other day for a girl.

But it wasn't just any girl was it? It was Serena. Darien knew that he would fight any of his friends for her. But did that mean he loved her?

What was wrong with him that he would give up his friends for her? A normal person always picked the people who had been with them through it all over someone that had briefly flitted in and out of the lives.

He spotted her. Golden hair appeared shining before him, dancing in the breeze. She smiled at someone behind her, and he felt his heart lighten at the sight.

But then it seized when he saw Nathan follow her out.

Darien realized at that moment that he hated Nathan for being with her. The sight of them together sent anger flowing up his insides into his throat so he could taste it. It was bitter and he wanted to gag.

He wanted Serena. She was more important than his friendship with Nathan.

He walked quietly towards them, watching Serena all the way.

Nathan noticed him first, but Darien ignored him. Serena followed his gaze and looked up at him. Her eyes were wide.

"I was wondering if I could talk to you," Darien said looking only at her. "Privately."

She looked at him, frozen.

"Why?" She whispered.

"I just want to clear something up, about our past."

He saw her pale at his words and he felt guilty for using it to bait her. He didn't know the circumstances but obviously she was devastated by them. She looked frightened at the thought. Nathan stood quickly in front of her.

"I don't think she wants to talk to you Darien," he said crossing his arms.

Darien didn't flinch. He stood with his hands in his pockets.

"I know you want to be her knight in shining armor Nathan, but I'm not going to do anything to her. I want to talk, and if she doesn't want to know then she can say so herself. There's no need to shield her."

Nathan seethed with anger, but he didn't say anything.

"It's alright," Serena said quietly getting their attention. Nathan stood out of the way but her looked at her confused. "I don't want to talk to you now Darien, but if you want to come over tonight then I think it'll be okay. Lita will be there and I won't ask her to leave."

Darien looked at her confused, but he nodded his head. What did Lita have to do with any of this. He didn't like the idea of having an audience, but if she would let him talk to her then that was something.

"Alright, bye Darien," Nathan said curtly.

Darien just smiled at Serena, his eyes lightening. It made Serena's heart speed up and her breath stop. He was startling when he smiled like that. His dark features were made more handsome when his face softened. Serena couldn't look away.

"I'll see you tonight Serena," he said gently. He could see her reaction through her eyes, and he was sure that Nathan saw it to. He made sure to linger a moment, as if he would say something else, before silently moving on. He could feel the daggers from Nathan shout through his back, but it only made him smile. If Nathan wanted a fight, then he was up for a fight.

"I think he's crazy," Lita said pacing back and forth. "That's the only thing I can come up with. He's crazy and you've become like a sick obsession or something. How else can he explain all that's going on?"

Serena didn't answer.

Lita continued pacing almost frantically. "I guess maybe he was in an accident and he lost more of his memory. He lost some when he was a kid right? Maybe it's like a thing with him."

"Lita, please stop moving around so much you're making me nervous."

Lita sat down, gripping her hands together.

"Maybe he just wants to tell you he's sorry for….."

"Maybe we'll find out when he gets here," Serena said shortly.

Lita frowned at her friend. "He really doesn't bring out your best side."

Serena just looked out the window at the comment, and her heart skipped into her throat when she saw him. She all but lept off the couch and crouched in front of Lita.

"Oh god oh god oh god," she said to herself.

"I guess I'll get it," Lita said when there was a knock at the door.

"NO!" Serena said startling her. "Let me do it. You just stay in the kitchen like we talked about. You'll be able to hear us and you can come out if something seems wrong, but otherwise stay quiet."

Lita nodded. "Okay," she said.

Serena took a few deep breaths and opened the door.

She was surprised at how he looked. The last few times she had seen him his hair was a mess and she was pretty sure he hadn't showered. Now he looked clean and awake, and she hated how attractive he was. When he smiled at her she looked away to stop the sensation crawling through her again. He was good looking and she hated that she noticed it.

"Come in," she said shortly. "And sit down on the couch." She pointed towards a couch in the living room. "Don't move," she ordered as he watched her curiously. She walked into the kitchen.

"I can't do this," she whispered.

"Yes you can," Lita said. "It's been years. You have to know what happened so you can move on and be happy with Nathan. Just do this for him."

Serena nodded and Lita handed her a glass of water which she chugged down with shaking hands. She quickly went back out.

She sat down across from him, as far away as she could.

He just watched her.

She felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

"I thought you had something to say," she said pointedly.

"What would you like to hear?" He asked calmly.

She hated how calm he was. He had always been calm and collected and she felt like slapping him for it. She hated his question. She hated him.

"You're going to tell me what you were going to tell me and then you're going to leave. I'm hoping it takes only a few seconds," she said crossing her arms.

Darien nodded looking amused. Really his mind was racing, but he kept himself under control.

"Are you happy with Nathan?" He asked carefully.

"If you're not going to tell me then you can just leave," Serena said.

"Alright," Darien said. "I'd like to take you out on a date."

Of all the things he could have said, Serena was least prepared for that one. She couldn't hide the surprise on her face and she felt weak. Luckily Lita chose that moment to come out of hiding.

"Are you dense?" She shouted at Darien. "She's already dating someone."

Darien didn't seem fazed by her sudden appearance. "Even so," he said.

"She's not going out with you, not again," Lita said.

"Every time I ask her a question someone else answers for her," Darien observed. "It would be so much less confusing if she just turned me down herself. Then I could casually say that I've decided to fight for her and I won't give up easily."

Lita looked ready to punch him.

"Why?" Serena asked. "What do you want with me?"

"You look at me once like I've seen you look at your friends and it was the best feeling of my whole life. I would give anything to have you look at me like that again."

"I thought you didn't remember your date," Lita said.

"I don't remember it, but it wasn't the time she looked at me like that. You were sitting in the park late at night, and I happened to come around. It was the first time I'd ever seen you with your hair down. You were upset about a fight you had with Raye and I sat with you. We sat in silence for a long time before you finally thanked me for staying with you."

Serena held Lita's hand tightly.

"It was really the first time we had a conversation like that. You talked about your family and I told you about my accident. We talked about school and our futures all while we sat under the stars," Darien said standing up. "I walked you home to make sure you were safe and when we got there you looked at me. That look was filled with all the love and kindness you have in your heart, and it was mesmerizing. No matter what happened to me, I couldn't forget it."

Both Serena and Lita stayed silent.

"I'd like to get to know you again Serena, and I honestly mean that. If you want to date Nathan I understand, and I'll try to settle for being your friend. I've been told I hurt you last time we went on a date and even though I can't remember it, I'm sorry. If I could take it back I would."

"I think you should go," Lita whispered.

Darien paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll wait for you," he said gently placing a rose on the small coffee table. He walked quietly out of the house without further fight leaving the two girls frozen in their spots. Serena held firmly on to Lita who was stiff as a board.

After a little while they sat down, close enough so they were touching.

It was another little while before either of them said anything.

"Well that sucked," Lita said breathlessly.

"What am I going to do now?" Serena asked.

"I really dislike that guy," Lita said firmly. "He's way to……."

"Convincing?" Serena asked.

"Did he convince you?" Lita asked looking at her friend.

"I hope not," Serena said. "But if he's asking to be my friend how can I say no to him. He's not even really asking that, he's asking me to give him a chance."

"Serena, he broke your heart."

"I was still a kid," she said softly. "Maybe I just didn't understand."

Lita knew that Serena was letting her good heart lead her with this. Serena had always believed in people and she had always believed that there was good in everyone. But what if this time she was wrong. What if Darien was really manipulating her and because of her kindness she couldn't see it. Lita would kill Darien for hurting her friend again.

"If you're sure I'll help you, but you have to promise me that you're going to be careful."

Serena nodded. "I promise."

"You're honestly a little bit off your rocker," Andrew said walking with Darien through the park.

"She didn't say no," Darien said smiling.

"Now you're happy?" Andrew asked surprised. "Now that you've decided to betray one of your best friends you're happy?"

Darien looked at him.

"Honestly Darien, before this happened to you I would never have guessed you were capable of this. You would have chosen Nathan a hundred times over Serena and you would have hidden your feelings until things worked out for the best. And now you're stealing his girl and confusing Serena."

Darien thought about what he was saying. He had changed over the last few years, that was obvious. But the change hadn't been for the good. Darien knew that and he felt guilty, but it was as if Serena was all he could see.

"Do you even feel guilty about doing this to Nathan?"

Darien hesitated. "I can't honestly say that I've thought much about him. I get angry when I see them together and I can't stand the idea that he's with her."

"I can't believe this," Andrew said.

"Are you saying I shouldn't do this?" Darien asked.

"I don't know what to say to you Darien," Andrew said. "I really want to help you but I'm not sure I can help you go up against Nathan. He and I have been friends for a long time now and I'm not sure you're in the right here."

"What about the other guys?" Darien asked.

"Are you looking for teams?" Andrew asked.

"No, but I want to know about them."

"You've been back a week and you've been so preoccupied with getting Serena that you haven't bothered calling them. I'm not sure they'd be on your side after that. Maybe Justin. He's been trying to go out with Raye for months and she's being really stubborn about the whole thing. He knows how to fight for a girl."

Darien felt guilt wash over him. Not at confronting Nathan, but at not calling his other friends. They all knew he was back, but they had stayed away because they weren't sure if he was ready to see them.

That's when he realized he had gone almost twenty-four hours without an attack.

He stopped in surprise.

"What?" Andrew asked.

Darien had spent the last day in one of the highest states of tension of his life and yet he hadn't felt weak. In fact he felt strong. He felt like he could win. The feeling was so unusual to him that he hadn't recognized it.

"I'm going to get her," he said suddenly.

Andrew looked confused.

"I've finally found something that I can fight for and I'm going to do it."

"I think you've lost it," Andrew said sadly.

"No, I think I've found it. I'm sorry that I'm betraying Nathan, but I can't help what my heart wants. I want her."

Andrew just sighed and started walking away from him.

"If you loved her, you'd want her to be happy Darien."

He turned and continued walking. Darien watched him go, but he felt the adrenaline of success course through his body. He was becoming strong again. Once again Serena was giving him a way to find himself. If he could get her he would be cured, he was sure of it.

Andrew picked up the phone and dialed a number. He waited for it to ring a couple of times before someone answered.

"Doctor Elizabeth's office," a girl said.

"This is Andrew calling about Darien Shields. Can I talk to the her?"

"One moment please."

There was a long silence on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Doctor, it's Andrew. I spoke to you about Darien when I took him home."

"Yes Andrew, what can I do for you."

"I think something's going wrong with him."

"Has he had another attack?"

"I'm not sure," Andrew said honestly. "The first couple days he just seemed sort of eerily quiet and he took off a couple times without saying anything. But I just thought that was normal."

"And now he's not acting normal now?"

"No, he's not. He's acting like a completely different person. Look, I know you said that I shouldn't expect him to be who he was but this is taking it to the extreme. The Darien I remember placed the people he loved above everything, and now he's betraying people left and right and he's obsessed with the idea of being with Serena. This just isn't him."

There was a pause before the doctor said anything.

"Has he tried to contact Serena?" She asked.

"Yeah, he talked to her last night. She's dating one of his friends and he's confusing her. She's still shaky around him and I can tell she doesn't know what to do."

"Do you think he's a danger to her?"

"Not physically," Andrew answered. "But I'm afraid for her."

Andrew sighed.

"What can I do," he asked.

"I need you to watch him Andrew. For the next couple of days don't interfere, just observe. If he gets any worse or if he becomes dangerous in any way, call me immediately and we'll come and get him."

"Do you think he's going crazy?" Andrew asked.

"I……" The doctor paused. "I don't know."

Andrew nearly collapsed onto his couch in defeat. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on him. I don't know what he's going to do next, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let him hurt Serena again."
