Hello!!!! Here is chapter three! Note: Remember that Serena and the scouts are 22 and Darien and Andrew are 25! And now, what you've all been waiting for..... *********************************************************************** *Serena's POV* I couldn't believe it. Darien looked so hurt, and I mean he was hurt physically. He saved my life! God, why did this have to happen? Why wasn't I hit? I was the one who was running across the street. I look at the clock that's hanging in my hospital room. It's 8:30 p.m. Dr. Samato had already called my parents. I was supposed to stay overnight at the hospital. ::Sigh:: Thirty more minutes until I can go visit Darien again. ::Yawn:: But I'm so tired. I'll take a quick nap. ::Yawn:: Yep, a nap will do. ZZZZ... *********************************************************************** (The next morning) *Serena's POV* ::YAWN:: Boy, I had a great dream last night. I was running across the street and I wasn't in any danger. I wasn't hurt and Darien wasn't hurt. Wait a minute DARIEN! Oh gosh! What time is it? 9:15 a.m.!!! Oh my god! I quickly sit up and put on my clothes. I get off the bed and walk towards the door. But someone is turning the knob! "Good morning, Serena. Did you have a good night's sleep?" asked Dr. Samato. She was smiling. "Doctor! Is Darien okay? How did the operation go? Tell me everything!" I say. "Calm down, Serena. Darien lived through the operation, thank goodness. You can go see him after you eat your breakfast," she answered. That was when I saw the tray she had in her hands. "I can't eat, doctor! I'm not hungry. I have to see Darien!" Just then, my stomach growled. Dr. Samato and I looked at each other and laughed. "Well, maybe I'm a little hungry." "I thought so," she laughed. I climbed back into my bed and she put the tray in my lap. I looked over the food and realized that I really was hungry. There were scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns and orange juice. I scarfed up all the food and wiped my mouth with a napkin. "I'm done eating. Can I go now, doctor?" I asked. "Yes, you may go. But I'll have to come with you, though. Let me just drop the tray off in the kitchen and we'll be on our way." I get off the bed and follow her out. *********************************************************************** (East Wing of Tokyo General Hospital) It seemed forever, walking through the hospital. The doctors moved Darien to another room, which was on the other side of Tokyo General. I followed Dr. Samato as we walked past walls of white and other rooms. Finally, she stopped at a room marked, E3. It was Darien's room. "I have to go back to work. Will you be fine here?" the doctor asked me. I nodded yes. "Remember Serena, he just came out of an operation a few hours ago. He is very weak. Don't make him any weaker. Just try to cheer him up," she included. I nodded again and she walked back to the west wing. I entered the room. He lying on a bed again, but there weren't as many tubes stuck to him as there were before. I tiptoed to the chair beside his bed and sat in it. I didn't do anything then. I just kind of stared at him. He didn't look right. He didn't look like himself. He looked kind of ghastly. I shivered, thinking of the possible things that could have happened during the surgery that made him look what he was now. Across the room was a table with today's newspaper and a bunch of magazines. I scooted over to the table, picked up the newspaper, and went back to my chair. I looked at the front page. The first headline said: "25-year Old Man Hit By A Truck While Saving A Woman." Then and there, I wanted to rip up the newspaper into a billion pieces. But I didn't. I turned to the page where the rest of the story was. I read: Yesterday, a 25-year old man was hit by a truck. He was trying to push a woman out of the way of the truck but was hit himself in the doing. The woman, Serena Tsukino, hit her head against the pavement of the sidewalk and both were taken to Tokyo General Hospital. Doctors took action when Darien Chiba was first brought to the emergency room. A few hours later, Chiba went into surgery and Tsukino woke up. The woman is said to be fine, thanks to the fine care of Dr. Canting Samato. But the doctors are not sure about Chiba. His surgeon, Dr. Heidi Awai, hopes that he will make it. Samato says that there is a good chance that Chiba will live. Chiba received severe damage to his inner intestines. Police are still looking for the hit-and-run truck driver. Serena Tsukino is a senior in Tokyo University, located in the Juuban area. Police interviewed Tsukino's main professor, Rebecca Wu. "Serena is a good student. She is such a sweet person. She gets good grades and she is living up to her dream, to become a pediatrician. I don't know why she was on the street while a truck was coming straight toward her," the professor said. Old university records show that Chiba also went to Tokyo University when he was in college. Surprisingly, he had Ms. JiYoung as his college professor also. Wu said, "Darien was a good student too. In fact, he was one of my best students. His utmost goal was to become a surgeon. It was very brave of him to push Miss Tsukino out of the way of the truck." Police also interviewed Andrew Johnson, Darien Chiba's best friend. "He never really liked Serena. Every time he saw her, he would tease her. His favorite insult for her was Meatball Head. I don't understand why he would risk his own life, while trying to save Serena. She and him had always been enemies, from the day they met," Johnson reported. I stopped reading. Why? It's because Darien's hand moved..... *********************************************************************** Like it? I'm sorry for the delay of this chapter. I've been working hard in school!!! Chapter 4 will be coming soon, don't worry!!! -Meatball Head
