happy ending though...... Now I want to thank alot of friends and the

Serena Canstriel hurried along the sidewalk trying to get inside before
the storm hit. The weather man predicted this to be the heaviest snow fall
in over 10 years , and she was not going to be caught out in it. She ran
home and stuck her key in the lock and opened the door expecting to find
dinner waiting for her, but was struck with complete silence. Serena
looked around her house for some signs of life from her roommate, but no
one was there.
She sat her brief case down and then walked into her kitchen to fix her
a bite to eat when her eye caught a note on the microwave.
Serena,
Sorry that I wasn't there when you got home, but I had plans tonight
and you're gonna have company coming over and it is best if I
am not there. All I can say is good luck and I hope things work
out for the best. You deserve to be happy.
your friend,
Seiya
Serena stood there baffled, trying to figure out who her company was.
She was about to phone Seiya when she heard a knock at her door. She sat
her phone down on the bar and walked over to the door and answered it. Her
mind was still reeling as she opened the door, but the person on the other
side was not even one of her choices running through her mind. Especially
since he was the one who had walked out of her life 4 years prior to this
encounter. She was about to shut the door in his face, but he must have
anticipated her move cause he casually stuck his hand on the door and
pushed it open enough to walk through. Serena stood next to the door as
he walked into the living room and looked around, and then back at her. "
Well you haven't changed much since I last saw you. You're still as
beautiful as ever. " He spoke softly. Serena forced herself to look at
her visitor and she finally gave up and shut the door and walked into the
living room. She walked right up to him and looked him in the eye and
spoke in a heated voice. " Just what the hell do you think you are doing
here Darien ? " Darien was taken back by her tone and the hated gleam in
her eye. Darien instantly regretted coming here to see her.
' What was I thinking? This will never work. She hates me now. '
Darien began to walk towards the door and turned around slowly, " I am
sorry that I have bothered you I will leave you alone now." He turned
back towards the door when Serena got between him and the door and leaned
against it to keep him in her house. " THE HELL YOU ARE LEAVING ! " She
yelled at the young man in front of her. Darien winced at the tone of
voice she chose to use with him. Serena looked at him and then pointed to
the sofa, " Please sit down so I can find out what has caused you to come
here to my home. " Darien took her offer and walked over to the sofa and
sat down as Serena sat in the chair almost directly across from him.
" So Serena how have you been? " A common question, but not for the two
in the house. Serena looked at Darien and he couldv'e sworn that her
beautiful azure eyes encased flames inside them. " WHAT? You come here
after all this time to ask how I've been? Do you really care how I have
been? " Darien shook his head and looked outside and tried to think
rationally, but he couldn't supress the rage building inside of him. "
Listen Serena I did not come here to fight with you. I came here to talk
to you about you and I. " Serena lost it at that point. " Get out...."
Darien looked at her like she had grown two heads, he couldn't understand
why she just said that but when she stood up and approached him with
complete hate in her eyes he new that she was not going to go easy on him.
She held out a shaky hand and pointed towards the door, and half stated
and half whimpered. " Get out...please...I don't want to go through this."
Darien was about to just jump up and shake her. He hated what he had done
to her, but he was scared back then and he was foolish. Now he was face to
face to her and this was probably the only chance he would have to tell
her how he felt then and now. He looked down at Serena and tried to
comfort her but she pushed him away and ran into the other room.
~ Hey, if we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places ~
Serena sat on her bed and cried, she couldn't let him get to her. He
had made her believe that he loved her and wanted to be with her back
then, but then one day she came home from her classes and they had a fight
and that was it. He walked out and with him went her heart. Serena was
unable to trust another man much less love them until she met Seiya. Seiya
had instantly became her best friend, but that was all he was, a friend.
Serena pulled her knees to her chest and cried softly as she longed for
him to be with her again. She couldn't believe that after 4 long years
she would still love him. Darein was on the outside of her door listening
to her cry, and he wished to god there was something he could do. He
knocked softly on her door and when he got no response he slowly turned
the knob to her door. What he saw at that instant broke his heart. He
rushed over to the bed and sat down. He wanted to hold her, but knew that
she would push him away so he sat there and waited. Serena spoke without
even looking at him. " Why? Why did you leave me? " Darien was stunned,
but he just shook his head and pulled her to him and let her cry. " I was
afraid Serena and I didn't want you to leave me so I left . " He knew
that was a pathetic excuse but it was the truth. ' I'm not worthy of her
love anymore.' He thought sadly as the sweet angel cried in his chest.
~ I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man ~
Serena finally was able to calm down as she fell silent and just sat
there in his arms and thought to herself. Darien on the other hand was
getting nervous from her lack of words. He wanted her to say something
even if it was yelling at him, but she didn't. He realized that things
would probably never be the same, but he had to try.
~ Hey, more than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe ~
Darien sat there holding Serena and he was losing his control bit by
bit with her tiny frame in his arms. All he wanted to do was kiss her all
over, but he couldn't bring himself to do that .
Darien looked around the room they were in and noticed that Serena had
done well for herself. She was happy, at least that is what he thought
from the appearance of her home. ' When did she start to like all this
fancy stuff? What happened to the simple girl I fell in love with? The one
that liked to go outside in the pouring rain and play a game of tackle
football, or the one who liked to help me work on old cars in our spare
time? What happened to my best friend, the girl I love? ' Darien was
shaken out of his thoughts when Serena finally got up and walked into the
other room. Darien sat there for a moment and looked around for some sign
of ' her ' the real Serena. Darien thought to himself and whatever greater
being out there to return her to him.
' Please I'll do anything to have her with me again. '
~ So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold and diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe ~
Darien walked into the living room and noticed that the front door was
open so he walked out there and found Serena sitting on the porch watching
the snow fall lightly to the ground when she noticed that Darien had
walked out there. She looked at him and smiled a half smile and motioned
for him to sit next to her. Darien walked towards her slowly, he was
hesitant at first but then he finally allowed himself to sit next to her.
He felt how cold she was and he was about to wrap his arms around her when
he realized he had no place to touch her, for he was the one who had '
killed ' the spirit of the beautiful and vivacious young women sitting
next to him. Serena turned towards Darien and took his hand and held it
softly in her tiny hand, while looking at him in a loving way. " Tell me
Darien. Tell me why you were afraid I would leave you, please. " It was
more of a plea than anything else, but somewhere Darien found the strength
to open his heart and bare all to this wonderful and mesmerizing creature
beside him.
~ I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man ~
" Well you remember how you and I always use to be together and we did
everything together and we were happy? " Darien asked as he looked at her
sweet face. Serena shook her head and urged him to go on. " Well back then
I was so happy it was you and me and the world. We took it on and never
cared who thought we were crazy. Then one day I went to class and you went
to yours. Well I was talking to Andrew and he was telling me how Rita had
left him after 6 years of happiness. She just woke up and decided that she
didn't want to be with him anymore Well that got me thinking. What would
happen to me if I lost you. I mean how would I go on if you just up and
walked out on me? I couldn't. So I got scared and I did the only thing I
could think of I left." Darien sat back and tried not to look at her,
cause her eyes now had tears in them, and he couldn't bear to look at her
and know that he was the one to cause all the pain that this beauty was
experiencing. She grabbed his chin and made him look at her, and spoke
softly. " Then why have you returned? " Darien was in awe at her strength
and he himself began to cry softly. " Redemption. I live a very dull
life, the day I left I lost the light in my heart, and my one true reason
for living. I realized that I needed you, but I couldn't go look for you.
" Serena looked at him stunned and some how found her voice, but it was
very meek. " Then why did you come back? I mean it's been 4 years, did it
ever cross your mind that I could be married with a family. "
Darien looked at her and nodded his head, " Yes I wondered that, but I had
to know. I had to tell you that I still love you no matter what and that
it was not your fault that I left. I didn't care what happend to me as
long as I had the chance to tell you that I loved you then and I never
stopped. " Serena looked down at her lap and smiled a little through her
tears. " My life has been pretty boring, and I haven't found anyone to
share it with. My roommate is always trying to fix me up with his friends,
but they aren't nor ever will be you. " She then looked at Darien and in a
small voice told him the words that he needed to hear more than anything.
" I still love you Darien. " Darien was on cloud 9, and he wrapped her in
a huge hug as they both sat there in the comfort of their silence.
~ Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the night-time
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me ~
Serena watched as the snow fell lightly as she spoke again. " Darien
can we overcome all that has happened? " Darien was resting his chin on
her head as he listened to her question. " I don't know Serena, but we can
try. I can't promise you that it will be the same as before, but I can
promise to love you and never leave you again if you give me the chance. "
Serena turned around and faced Darien. She traced the outline of his face
with her index finger and giggled a little, " I don't want it to be the
same, I want it to be better. I want to be with you, that is all I have
ever wanted, but if you have any doubts talk to me first instead of
leaving. Please. "
~ Hey, if we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places ~
Darien took her finger and kissed it lightly and looked deep into her
eyes. " I won't leave you ever again I promise. I promise to always love
you and if I ever feel like I have any doubts you will be the first one
that I run to, and not from. " With that Serena lightly kissed Darien on
the cheek and grabbed his hand and stood up pulling him up with her. "
Let's go inside Darien and talk it's getting cold out here, and this way
we can just sit on the sofa in front of the fire." Darien agreed and
followed her into the house. Serena made some hot cocoa. Once the coca was
ready she took the cups into the living room and noticed the fire that
Darien had started. She placed the cups on the coffee table and then
cuddled up to Darien and looked him in the eye, and lightly kissed the tip
of his nose. " Darien will you just hold me tonight, and we can talk
tomorrow? " Darien quietly laughed at her innocent gesture and kissed her
lightly on the lips, " Yes Serena I will hold you tonight, and every night
after if that is what you want. " Serena agreed to his offer and then
turned in his embrace and leaned her head on his chest. They revelled in
the fact that they were both truly happy for once in 4 long years.
~ I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man ~
