(Author’s POV)
A young boy entered a bedroom, with a bowl full of water. With a mischievous grin, he made his way towards the bed that held a sleeping blonde headed teen and feline. Covering his giggles with a hand, he hovered the cup over the blonde’s head and poured out its contents. He was satisfied when the blonde shot up from the bed, spewing water, and looking about with wild eyes, as Luna jumped off the bed startled and dashed into a corner. The blonde settled her sapphire blue eyes upon her snickering step brother as he grinned at her.
“Get up stupid!” he remarked, dashing out of the room. The blonde huffed, flopping back on the bed with a heavy sigh. Her mother Elaine came to her daughter’s door and poked her head in the room and frowned, seeing her lay lazily in the bed.
“Get up Serena before you’re late again.” she sneered, then continued down the hall without a passing glance.
(Serena’s POV)
I sat up, resting my elbows upon my knees heavily, glaring at the door. I covered my face with my hands, feeling my hand throb painfully, while my arm stung as the bandages stuck to my wound. Sitting there momentarily I stood to my feet, noticing Luna watching my every move, as I gathered my clothing and walked into the bathroom to get dressed. I reentered the bedroom clad in my school uniform, and retrieved my school suitcase and exited the room without a word. From the corner of my eye I could see my advisor looking questioning towards my heavily wrapped hand.
I made my way downstairs where I spotted my mother, step brother, and step father sitting at the kitchen table eating. Passing by the kitchen briskly and I made way to the front door and exited, without saying good bye to the people that was considered my family.
Looking down at my communicator/watch on my wrist I noticed that it was a good 30 minutes before school started. So, I slowed my rushing pace down to a mere walk and took the opportunity to eye the scenery of my hometown I usually never have the chance to admire.
With furrowed brows my thoughts lingered onto my advisor. I believe she was beginning to catch on to what was going on at home. When I first became Sailor Moon, it was just my mother and I living life and trying to survive, as we still grieved over my father‘s unexpected death…a time when life wasn’t so bad…and Molly was still here.
Then my mother met Ken and before I knew it the asshole and his bastard of a son was living with us, and my mother was flashing her wedding band to anyone who cared to look. When my mother wasn’t around, the sick son of a bitch would constantly make passes at me, and late at night he would try and climb in bed with me. Of course I refused, which only angered him…and that’s when I noticed my mother and I weren’t as close as we used to be. She started avoiding me, and the only time we ever talked was when she was screaming at me about something I did…or rather what I didn’t do.
Molly had died not too long after that and my grades began to slip as I started falling into a deep depression and the constant Youma battles were wearing me out...that’s when the cutting started to come into the picture. One day I came home with my first failed test grade that I was so distraught about…I had studied so hard. Ken struck me in the face right in front of my mother…and she didn’t do or say a damn thing about it. She just sneered and said that I deserved it…that I needed discipline for my ways.
What the fuck is that suppose to mean?
Anyways, give or take a week or two, Luna and I started finding my comrades; Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, formally know as Amy, Rei, Lita, and Mina. I was so glad I had help with the whole Senshi business, plus me and the girls hit it off rather quickly and became the best of friends.
After we had found Mina, we had met her advisor Artemis. Once he came into the picture, Luna began staying with Mina so she and Artemis can talk more thoroughly on the Youma attacks and finding Princess Serenity of the Moon. I was rather grateful with Luna’s decision, I was able keep my home life in secrecy. Though…all of a sudden Luna has been coming back home and she barely lets me out of her sight. What brought this on, I have no idea, but it’s really starting to irk me and she is one nosey pussy cat!
I snapped out of my thoughts as I was slowly walking through the bustling city. I stopped in front of the crown arcade and with a small smile I entered the building, spotting my long time friend behind the counter. The blonde haired green eyed teen smiled at me and waved me forward. Nodding I made my way to the counter and sat on a stool before it. I saw a frown come across his face, seeing my current state, and walked back into the kitchen. A few moments passed and he walked out with a tray containing a burger, fries and a milkshake. He placed it in front of me, and I smiled warmly at him.
“Kind of early for a burger and milkshake, don’t you think Andrew?” He smiled, walking around the counter and taking a seat next to me.
He took a hold of my injured hand, and lightly grazed his thumb across it. “Never too early.” he chuckled softly, eyes slowly lingering to my bandaged hand. He raised it up to my eye level questioningly. “What happened?”
I shifted my eyes to her lap. I’ve known Andrew nearly all my life and I looked up to him as my older brother. He was the only person I had told of what was going on in my life; from my home life, down to my senshi life. Well…had to tell, since he was the only person to notice my sour mood, and the new bruises I fashioned. Besides, he is the only person I fully trust and I love him dearly. So, with a heavy sigh, I responded.
“I brought home another bad grade and Ken punished me.” I watched as a frown appeared on his handsome features, and I couldn’t help but cringe.
“How?” he replied, voice turning cold, eyes falling dull.
“Placed my hand on a burning stove while he screamed at me.” Andrew’s jaw clenched tightly and I slowly raised my eyes to his heated ones.
“Andy…don’t get upset, I deserved it,” Before I could blink, Andrew spun around in his seat, taking a hold of my face between his soft hands; his eyes burning with a silent rage.
“Getting sent to your room or not being about to hang out with your friends is punishment. Your step father forcing your hand on a burning stove is abuse. You’re too good of a person to deserve such treatment.”
I frowned and shifted my eyes away from him; why must he tell me these lies? “I’m not a good person Andy, I hurt everyone around me.”
“That is not true.” I laughed bitterly.
“Molly and dad died because of me. Mom hates me, the girls are always on my case…and I’m starting to believe Darien doesn’t want me anymore.” Oops, did I forget to mention Darien, my super hot boyfriend? I also forgot to mention that he is Tuxedo Mask, the heroine that always seems to be saving my ass from those annoying Youma.
Andrew sighed heavily, pressing his forehead against mine, before pulling me into a tight hug. I let myself fall into his chest, breathing in his scent deeply. God he always smells good! I breathed in the scent once more, as I pondered if he wore the same cologne my father once wore.
“Its not your fault what happened to your dad and Molly, it was an accident. Your mom is still grieving and has issues she needs to sort out. The girls scold you because they love you and want what’s best for you, and I know for a fact Darien loves you Sere.”
I reluctantly pulled back from his embrace with a soft smile. “You always know the right thing to say.” You are too kind Andrew…but I know that truth…I cause so much pain…
Andrew pulled away from me as well, and patted his hand against the counter with a smile. “I know you didn’t eat anything this morning, so dig in before your food gets cold.” He stood from his seat, and I hungrily tore into my well cooked meal. Andrew went behind the counter and began cleaning out glasses with a towel. He shook his head softly, taken note that my bandages ran up my arm as well.
“You’ve been cutting again.” more a statement than a question. I stiffened, before taking a large gulp from my milkshake.
“Yea.” I closed her eyes, expecting Andrew’s outburst, but it never came. Instead, he asked me a question softly.
“You’re coming to my place tonight?” I finished off my milkshake with nod, then finished off the last bit of fries. On many occasions I would find myself cuddled up with him in his bed, crying my heart out throughout the night, while he tried his damnedest to console me, filling my head with sweet lies that none of this was my fault.
I removed myself from the stool, picking up my school bag from beside it. “Thanks Andy.” Andrew waved as I headed for the door, and I could feel his eyes on my retreating back till he couldn’t see me any more.
