I'm Movin On...
Serena yawned
tiredly as she made her way towards her car. It was late and she was just now
leaving work. She had pulled an 11 hour shift that day trying to make deadline.
She was now just looking forward to getting home where she could grab a bite to
eat and a quick shower before hitting the sack. Even after a long day of work
she was still picture perfect. Her long golden mane was normally worn loose and
flowing to the middle of her back, but tonight was piled high on her head out
of her way, and her reading glasses were perced on top of her head as well. She
carried her breifcase and her jacket loosely over one arm. As she reached her
car she unlocked the door tossing her things on to her passanger seat before
crawling in. Sighing softly she started her car, she was about to leave when a
song came over the air waves that made her freeze and stare blankly out the
window. As she listened to the lyrics she started screaming mixed with tears as
she beat her steering wheel as if it would make all her pain go away. "
I.. I moved on...I said I was sorry, I did everything I could do. I.. I didn't
mean to.. I.. Why.. WILL I EVER BE
FORGIVEN ?" With that Serena
grabbed her purse and keys before leaving her car in the parking lot and
heading out into the crowds where maybe she could forget....just forget all
that had happened so long ago when she decided to give her heart to someone who
never really cared much less gave his in return.
* I've dealt
with my ghosts and faced all my demons
Finally content
with a past I regret
I’ve found you find
strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at
peace with myself
I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the
past for too long
I’m movin’ on *
Serena
walked into the coffee shop wiping her
eyes ever so gently. She was so certain that his ghost had finally left her
alone, but after the phone call today from her mother demanding that she come
home for christmas had started her on a downward spiral, hearing that song on
the radio was her undoing. She hated the thought of going back home knowing
that ' he ' would be there with his new wife and child. The one that he had
left her for. She quickly made her way to the bathroom where she proceeded to
lock herself in there trying to calm herself down. Splashing some water on her
face she looked up in the mirror shaking her head slowly.
" I don't get
it. What did I ever do to deserve this torture? Why must my mother insist on
him being close to us. He is the one that left me.... " Sinking slowly
towards the floor she started to cry once more. This was just all to unfair for
her, and her own mother was just pouring salt in the wound. Sure it had been
over a year but still in Serenas eyes that was one year that she wished never
existed.
After all the the things that had happened
to her she had to go away. Far far away to escape him and his new girl, and her
own family. They had loved Andrew, and even after he left Serena for someone
else they all seemed ok with it as long as he was still around. Serena never
understood what was wrong with her family, but she decided that leaving would
be best. Her mother on the other hand was against it, but once Serena had the
approval of her father she was gone.
* I’ve lived in this place and I know all the
faces
Each one is
different but they’re always the same
They mean no
harm but it’s time that I face it
They’ll never
allow me to change
But I never
dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong
I’m movin’ on *
Darien was about
to walk out of the door when he heard the girl behind the counter talking to
her coworker about the young woman that had just walked into the restroom.
Going against everything that he believed in
" Excuse me
miss. How long ago did that woman head into the restroom? "
" Oh you mean the
young blonde that just walked in a few mins ago sir? " The young girl
replied.
" I.. I
honestly do not know sir, Are you a friend of hers, cause it seems she is
crying in there. Well at least that is what it sounded like when I was walking
past there. "
Serena quickly came
to her senses and realized her surroundings. She stood up and washed her face
once more, telling herself that one day her prince would come for her,"
Why am I crying? One day Andrew will wake up and see what he has lost and I
will be fine. I deserve better and he isn't worth my tears." Laughing to herself softly she walked out of
the door and came face to face with one Darien Lawrence. Serena gasped softly
as she ran into him before stuttering a soft apology. She was about to walk
around him when he chuckled softly smiling down at her.
" No need to be
so shy ma'am, I was just coming over to check up on you. It seems you had
everyone in here worried about you. I included. "
Serena stared
blankly at the young man before her, she was at a loss of words.
Taking a step back
Serena glanced at the person before her and found herself smiling back at him.
He seemed to be a nice guy from outer appearance, but Andrew seemed that way as
well. She noticed how he was a well dressed young man meaning he must have been
some sort of buissness man, yet she could tell that he was athletic with the
tone and shape of his body through his clothes. She then noticed his jet black
hair and how a few strands had fallen in his eyes. She was tempted to brush
them aside and out of his eyes, but found that she couldn't move for she was
staring into the deepest cobalt blue eyes she had ever seen.
" My name is
He left the question
hanging there just begging to be answered. Shaking her head slowly Serena side
stepped him and started walking towards the door. Serena started to panic on
the inside needing some way out, she just had to get out of there.
" I'm sorry,
but.. I .. I have to go. "
She was about to
walk out when something made her stop and turn around. She turned slowly around
and stared straight into his eyes. Everything seemed to just stop around her
and she couldn't seem to make herself turn away.
' Come on Serena
right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot. Come on feet move. Your not
moving, Serena stop looking at him, he is just like Andrew they are all like
Andrew.' Taking a few breaths she calmed down slightly and finally gave into
some force stronger than her own will. ' Then again there are always
exceptions. Look at him. Really look at him.'
She saw something
in his eyes that she had never seen in any other man she had ever come into
contact with. Still not wanting to get her hopes up that there could possibly
be a nice guy out there she smiled softly thinking quickly. ' Well we can see
how different he is!' If he wants to know my name he will accept a challenge.'
With that she thought up a riddle for a test of how badly he wanted to know her
name.
" Thank you so
much for your concern but really, I must be going, but the sunset is always
prettier when wittnessed from an empire in the eyes of Saturn. "
With that Serena
turned and headed out the door. She smiled to herself as she reached her car
wondering if he would figure out that she was going to be at the
" You know that
is actually a tough one to figure out. "
" It's simple
man, she gave you a riddle and now you have to figure out what it means. I will
almost gurantee that if you figure out that clue you will see her again. "
" What in gods
name is she talking about.. The sunset is always prettier when wittnessed from
an empire in the eyes of Saturn.? That makes no sense to me at all. "
The girl seemed to
snap out her trance before laughing.
" Ohmigosh that is so simple. She is talking about Saturday night,
well watching the sunset on Saturday night, but the rest I don't know. "
The young guy
snapped his fingers and laughed. " I got it. The sunset will be a
wonderful sight Saturday night from the top of the
With that
The next day Serena
woke up late in the afternoon. She had stayed up late going over everything in
her head trying to figure out a way to keep from going home in 8 days. She made
herself a late lunch and relaxed in front of the television before getting up
and taking a hot shower. As she stepped out of the shower she glanced out her
window and noticed the sun was low in the sky. The sun would be setting in about
an hour. She paid no heed to it as she dressed and walked out of her bedroom.
She noticed the light on her phone flashing meaning someone must've called
while she was showering. Hoping it was Rei or Mina she rushed to the phone to
check her messages. Her happyness was killed quickly when she heard her mothers
voice on the other end of the line.
" Serena you
better be here on the 23rd or your father and I are never going to forgive you.
Andrew and his wife are dying to see you. Your brother and his wife want to see
you aswell. I don't care how you do it or what you do just do it and be here. I
will talk more later sweetie. And we love you. Take care in the city. "
With that Serena
erased the message and slumped down on her sofa shaking her head sadly. All she
wanted to do was curl up in a ball and go back to sleep when something hit her
like lightning out of a clear blue sky.
'
Sitting up quickly
and looking outside she realized she had about 20 mins to go before the sun
sat. Jumping up she grabbed her purse, jacket, and keys and ran out her door. '
I hope I'm not late. Then again why do I care, and why am I doing this? '
Before she could think twice about it she was already in her car and pulling
out of the garage.
Pacing back and
forth
Serena was ecstatic
to exit the elevator but was quickly dissapointed to find that he was no where
in sight when she stepped off. She checked all around the upper deck wandering
why she even bothered to come. ( And I have no idea what its like on the top of
the Empire States building so I am just winging it so bare with me e_e;;)
" Why? Why did I even come myself. I was better off just staying at home,
Then again why do I care if I see him again?"
Serena stood there looking out over the city when she caught
sight of a jacket laying on the railing next to her. Glancing around and
finding no one she shook her head before turning away with tears in her eyes.
" You are so stupid Serena for
hoping...wishing..." She almost screamed when she felt a hand on her
shoulder. Turning around quickly she came face to face with the same cobalt
blue eyes that she had seen the night before. " So Serena is it? Your
late. "
Serena stood open
mouthed staring at the young man standing in front of her with a slight smile
on his face. " I.. I am sorry I was just.. well my mother called, and I..
well honeslty I forgot. " Looking down feeling ashamed of herself she
mumbled softly almost incoherently. " I am sorry for making you wait.
"
" It's ok
really, I .. well I am ashamed to say this, but I left. I only came back up
here because I had left my jacket. I really didn't think you would show up.
Yeah I gave up. " Now it was his turn to feel ashamed, and waited for her
to say something. He was amazed to see her smile up at him. " It's ok
Blinking a couple of
times Serena gave in and took his arm with her own. " Where to? "
Thinking quickly she smiled up at him, " How about the Starbucks we met
at? "
Chuckling softly
Smiling up at him
she pulled on his arm lightly, he chuckled softly at her before continuing on.
" As long as you are certain that it's ok with you. " Serena only
nodded her head as they reached her car, " Anyways how do you know it's
not YOU that should be worried? " Serena asked playfully, Darien acting as
if he was terrified of her just brought his hand to his head in an overdramatic
action, " Oh woe is me, I will be at the mercy of a beautiful young women,
whatever will I do? "
Serena raised a brow at
Turning off her alarm
Serena unlocked her doors and climbed in with
" So I see the
riddle was right after all eh? " The young man asked as they stood at the
counter to order. " Yeah I think it's cute really, and terribly romantic.
" The girl chided in as she made their requests.
As time passed
Serena and
" If I could Rena I would go with you to your familes
Christmas just to give you moral support. " Smiling to herself Serena
wished she had met him earlier, she wish it was him she had given her heart to
so long ago instead of Andrew.
* I’m movin’ on At last I can see life has been patiently
waiting for me *
They talked for
hours and drank tons of coffee as they converesed. Serena was enjoying his
company when a soft yawn escaped her sweet lips. Glancing at her watch she was
surprised to see that it was already 1:00 am and they had been talking for
about 5 hrs. Shaking her head slightly
Serena was lost in
thought as she headed home. The roads were just a little more icy than she had
thought. She approached the intersection and came to a stop. As the light
turned green she let off the brake and started across when she turned her head
to the left and saw the headlights coming at her. She barely had enough time to
scream before the vehicle hit her and everything went black.
Two days had passed
and
" Hello is
Serena there? "
" No she isn't, may I take a mesage?" The mystery
voice said through the lines.
"
" Well hello
The world seemed to stop for him as he somehow managed to
speak. " Mr. Carmichael could you please tell me what hospital she is at I
would like to go see her. "
" Sure thing
After
Once the doors
opened he walked out followed by the two girls, he stopped off at the nurses
station to check on the room number before proceeding. He noticed that the two
girls had gone off in the same direction as he was headed in.
" Rei did you
see that guy? He was hot! " Mina asked excitedly. " I wish I had
someone like that coming to visit me."
" MINA This is not the time to be drooling over some
hot guy we are here to check on Serena. " Rei said as she turned back to
glance at Darien on last time before turning into Serenas room.
Darien made his way
slowly down the hallway before coming to the room that she was in. Taking a deep breath he entered hearing
voices. Slowly he walked past the curtain and came face to face with the girls
from the elevator and off to the side a young man stood with blond hair next to
two girls. One that had medium brown hair pulled back into a pony tail and
another one with short bluish black hair. There was also an older man standing
near the wall with his arm around a woman whom seem to have been crying.
Feeling out of place he wanted to turn and leave when the man spoke softly to
him.
" Darien I
presume? I am David Carmichael, Serenas father." Extending his hand out.
Darien nodded slowly taking his hand in a firm handshake.
" This is my wife Miranda Serena's mother. And that is
Andrew a family friend, Amy, Lita, Mina and Rei, Serenas life long
friends."
Darien felt this rage
build up inside of him at the mention of Andrews name, but instead of saying
anything he said a soft hello. He was about to say something when Serena
started to come around.
Feeling a little
groggy Serena looked around the room. She noticed her parents and her friends,
then she saw Andrew. She wanted to scream but then her gaze fell upon Darien
and all her anger left her. She reached her hand out towards him and a few
tears fell from her eyes as he rushed to her side taking her hand in his.
" I.. I'm sorry
I .. didn't call you. " She said in a soft voice.
Chuckling softly he smiled down at her as he brushed some of
her hair from her eyes. " It's ok Rena, I called you and left a msg. I
didn't know what happened, but when I called back your father answered and told
me what happened, and I rushed here as soon as I could."
Serena smiled at him as she closed her eyes. " I..
Thank you for coming Dare, thank you for caring. " With that she seem to
dose off again. Darien sat there for sometime before Rei lightly touched his
shoulder. " Excuse me Darien can I speak with you out in the hall? "
Darien nodded as he stood up and bent down placing a soft kiss on Serenas
forehead before following Rei outside the room. As they were leaving he head
Andrew ask Serenas father who he was. Darien laughed to himself and walked out
to where Rei was at with the other girls.
" So Darien who are you and how do you know Serena?
"
Darien took a deep breath and went into the story of how
they had met and what all had happened. When he was done he had five girls
standing there with tears in their eyes looking at him. " Well after all
the stuff she went through with Andrew it is nice to see her finally meet
someone. I just hope you don't do to her what he did or we will be forced to
hurt you. "Lita piped in. They were all laughing and talking when Andrew
walked into the hallway to let them know that Serena was awake and asking for
Darien. The girls all turned to go into the room when Andrew asked Darien to
stay behind for a moment.
" Listen I am
sure that Serena told you what had happened, but I swear I never meant to hurt
her. We were best friends our whole life. I loved her in more ways that you can
imagine. I didn't want to lose her but something was missing. I don't expect
you to like me, but just know that I would do anything to keep her safe, I just
couldn't love her the way she deserves. " With that Andrew turned to go
back into the room leaving Darien there to think it all over. Shaking his head he walked back into the room
with a warm smile on his face as he approaced Serenas bed.
" Listen sweetie your mom and I and the others are
going to head to the cafeteria to grab bite to eat this way you two can talk.
" Her father spoke softly as he placed a tender kiss upon her cheek before
pushing everyone out of the room ahead of him. Serena laughed softly turning
her head to look out the window at the snow falling sighing softly.
" You know I wanted an excuse to not go home, and it
seems that I got my wish, Then again I don't recall asking it to be as painful.
" Turning her attention towards Darien she blushed when she caught him
watching her intently.
" What is it Dare? "
Shaking his head slowly as he gently grasped her hand.
" Listen Rena, I...I just I don't know really what to say. I was so
worried when I didn't hear from you. I was afraid that I had said or done
something wrong the other night. " Taking a deep breath he looked outside
the window as he continued speaking. " I have never felt the connection
with anyone that I feel with you. Ever since the first time I saw you there was
something deep inside of me telling me not to let you go. It's like I had to
know you, I had to have you in my life. I.. I have fallen in love with you
Rena, and even though it has all happened so fast and it's so unorthodox for
me, it feels so right. I have never been more sure of anything in my life.
"
Serena blinked a few
times taking in the information he had just shared with her. She was
overwhelmed at his confession, yet was overcome with complete joy from hearing
him open himself up to her. She gently tugged on his hand to get his attention.
When he turned back to her their eyes met and so many unspoken words were said
with that one look. Crying softly Serena smiled through her tears speaking
softly,
" I thought I was just imaging. I felt the same
connection with you Darien, yet I was afraid to let anyone in. I wanted to run
from you the night I met you, but something wouldn't let me. I.. I had to know
you to. I wanted to know you, to be needed by you. To be loved by you. "
Darien smiled at her before bending down kissing her softly. It was a soft
kiss, yet millions of things were said in that one kiss. Pulling back slowly he
gently brushed some strands of hair out of her eyes as he rested his forehed
against hers. " I love you Serena, and I will be by your side forever if
that is what you want. " Serena said nothing she just smiled and held his
hand tighter within hers as she giggled softly. " I just may hold you to
that one Dare. " With that said the two just sat there in the room no
words being spoken as they gazed intently upon one another. Serena finally knew
she had found the one person in the world that was meant for her, and her meant
for him.

" Rena sweetie
are you sure you want to live here? " Leaning her head against his chest a
small smile crept over her pouty lips as she spoke softly. " Yes Dare, the

Caroline will be here tomorrow with my brother and Allison. They were all so
nice to agree to help us. And to answer your question. Yes I want to live here.
