::Serena's POV::.

Yawning, I leaned back as the elevator rode up to the top floor where Darien's apartment was so I could talk to him. I was feeling rather excited as I thought of the possibility that I may be pregnant, Darien and I could move in together and get married; live happily ever after!

A loud ding rang off signaling that I had reached my destination and that it was time for my departure. With a squeal I hopped off of the elevator and quickly made my way down the hallway that was decorated with starch white walls and pearl white tiled floors. I stopped at the door numbered 214 and knocked upon it.

The door suddenly opened and Darien stood before me with a smile upon his face. I grinned and stepped up on my tip toes and kissed my lover on the cheek, and then stepped into the apartment. I placed my book bag down on the sofa and took a seat beside it, as Darien closed the front door.

He stepped around the couch and stood in front of me, running his fingers through his disheveled hair nervously. He licked his lips and shoved his hands into his jean pockets. I arched a brow at his odd behavior, shifting myself in my seat to become more comfortable.

"Well I know I came here so we can talk, which is good because I have something important to tell you." I replied as I laced my fingers upon my lap. Darien nodded his head and began to pace the small living area, much to my puzzlement.

"Well I have something I need to get off my chest." spoke Darien. I nodded slowly as I felt my heart quicken its pace as I felt fear grip at my soul. I swallowed deeply as I started to shift uncomfortably; feeling as though a thunder cloud of doom was looming over my head.

"What is it that you need to get off your chest Dare?" I just about whispered, watching as he slowed his pacing to a stop and look upon me with fear and guilt sending frantic alarms off in my head. I furrowed my brows knowing that I wasn't going to like what was going to be said, and began to prepare myself for what may be a devastating blow.

Darien gulped, psyching himself up. "I need to talk to you about something that I did."

'Something that you did?!?’ my mind screamed, unconsciously clenching my jaw. "What did you do?" I asked coolly even though I was terrified of what his response maybe.

The ebony haired upperclassman sighed deciding to spill his dirty deeds. "Reika is pregnant."

I arched a brow, a little bewildered by his response. "That's nice but what does that have to do with you?"

"It's my child." He whispered. I could have sworn I felt my heart stop as I struggled to breathe. I suddenly cocked my head to the side trying to decipher if I had heard him right.

"You…" I blinked a few times after replaying what he had just said in my mind. "What…you what!?"

Darien stepped forward and moved his coffee table to the side and kneeled down before me, taking my hands into his much larger ones. "Can you forgive me?"

I narrowed my eyes upon his pleading face as I felt my heart shattering to a million pieces. I snatched my hands from his as if I had been burned, stopping short of growling at him "Why…why'd you do it?"

I watched as Darien's eyes glazed over as if he became lost in a sudden memory. "I was at a party some of my college buddies were having. I got drunk, she happened to be there and we started talking…and things just got way out of hand."

"Being drunk does not justify you're actions Darien!"

"I know that and I'm sorry!"

"You're sorry!?" I stood up in outrage. "You're fucking sorry?! You betrayed me Darien! Not only did you sleep with another woman, you didn't even have the decency in you to wear some protection and got her pregnant! How could you?"

"I don't know…" he replied pitifully. "I didn't mean to hurt you." I shook my head looking upon him with disgust and began to walk away from him. I was suddenly stopped when Darien threw his arms around my waist and held me back.

"Don't leave me…I'm sorry!" I turned and looked down at his tear stained face as I felt tears of my own begin to weld. I unraveled his arms from my waist and took a few steps back from him.

"How do you think we are going to work out now Darien? You're having a baby with another girl and I will never be able to trust you again. I'm sorry Darien but it's over." Taking another step back as Darien reached for me once more; I looked down at my ring clad finger and pulled the jewelry off of it. I placed the ring down before my feet, allowing my tears to fall.

"Good bye Darien."

"Wait…what did you have to tell me?" I turned away from him, and tried to wipe away my tears that wouldn't cease to fall.

"It doesn't matter anymore." With that I snatched my belongings from the sofa, ignoring his calls as I walked out of his apartment and out of his life.

……

As soon as I was able to escape the apartment complex, I took off to a full fledge run, letting my legs take me where ever they wanted to go. The sun was hidden behind thick thunder clouds as the heavens opened up and unleashed a down pour of rain to cleanse the earth. I couldn't really decipher whether my tears or the rain was blurring my vision, as I felt my heart constrict in agony I kept pushing myself to run as fast and as far as I could.

I finally slowed my pace to a stop as I heaved heavily and bent over at the waist before crashing down to my knees, unable to stop the onslaught of sobs that escaped me. The world around faze out as I became overwhelmed with the new agonizing pain of heartache. I wrapped my arms around my knees, burying my face into my knees and cried for all I was worth.

I don't know how long I sat brokenly crying my heart out but I soon regained my composure and slowly stood to my feet. I closed my eyes and rose my head up towards the sky, letting the rain attempt to shower away my dulling pain. A tremor erupted and coursed throughout my entire being and I wrapped my arms around my body as my teeth began to chatter. I sniffled looking around my surroundings realizing where I was and that I was at the park. With a heavy sigh I began to head to the place where I felt comfortable and safe.

.::Andrew's POV::.

I quickly locked the door to the Arcade as the last group of people exited the building. I began making my way to the table to wipe them off, the last thing I needed to do before I could head off home and wait on Serena.

I was suddenly startled when I heard a rather loud banging coming from the door. I frowned in annoyance, preparing to tell whomever it was that the arcade was closed and to return tomorrow. Though, as I stood before the door I was dumbstruck to see a soaking wet Serena trembling in the rain.

Regaining my composure I unlocked the door and stood frozen as empty dull blue eyes stared back at me. Without words being exchanged I pulled her into a tight embrace as I heard her sniffle then break down into heart wrenching sobs. I rubbed her back soothingly as I escorted her to sit at a booth. I kneeled down before her and cupped her face into my hands.

“What happened?” I questioned, as I wiped her tears away with my thumbs.

Serena sniffled, “It’s over”

I arched a brow confused. “What’s over?”

“Me and Darien.” She hiccupped and stared me hard in the face.

“He hurt me so bad Andy.”

…hiccup…

“He got Reika pregnant.”

…hiccup…

“How could he do this to me?”

…hiccup…hiccup…

“How could he do this to me…I thought he loved me Andy.” Serena buried her face into my chest and I wrapped my arms around her, feeling anger burning within me; how could Darien do this to her?

I shifted my eyes down to Serena’s trembling form, feeling terrible that he had to finish his job at her most time of need. “I’m going to go and finish closing down and then we can go to my place okay?” I felt Serena nod her head against my chest and I pulled away from her. I watched as she folded her arms upon the table and buried her face within them. I leaned over and rubbed her back for a moment, before standing and headed off to finish my task.

I finished everything quickly and made my way to Serena. She was in the same position that I left her in and I placed my hand on her shoulder. She let off a light snore signaling that she was sleeping and I let a soft smile come across my face. I went and turned off the lights and scooped the sleeping blonde up in my arms. I exited the arcade and shuffled the blonde in my arms and locked the door. I nodded my head towards an elderly couple whom were staring upon me oddly. I quickly made my way towards my car and once again shifted Serena in my arms and unlocked the car doors. I placed Serena on the passenger side and buckled her in and then hurriedly made my way to the other side and climbed into the driver side.

I drove off and began heading home. I shifted my eyes towards the blonde and smiled as she curled up in the seat. I shook my head, completely appalled of what my bone headed friend had done to my best friend. I felt my hands clench the steering wheel as I felt anger forming over what Darien had done; although, Serena’s moan snapped me out of my thoughts and I turned to see her sitting up in her seat. I watched as she looked around her and then slowly shift her eyes towards me. She gave me a half smile before slouching back in her seat and stare blankly out of the window; tears once again trailing down her face.

I sighed deeply and pulled into my own apartment complex and parked my vehicle. I helped the heartbroken teen out of the car and escorted her inside. The elevator ride was held in silence safe for Serena’s occasional sniffle. Once the ding rang off we began walking down the familiar hallway that lead to my domain.

Finally reaching my apartment door I unlocked it stepped into my place. I turned on the lights and closed and locked the door after Serena had stepped in. I slug my arms around her shoulders and pulled her close to me.

“How about you go take a shower and slip into some dry clothes while I’ll go and make you some soup?” I replied. Serena nodded and slowly made her way through my apartment and towards my bedroom where I knew she was grabbing my favorite navy blue long sleeved button down shirt and a pair of black boxer shorts with pink and white hearts decorated on them. They were given to me as a joke and Serena had found them stuffed in the furthest corner of my dresser draw. She walked out of the room still in her zombie like state and had the before described clothing clutched in her arms. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door as I made my way towards the kitchen to make her some soup.

After placing the now well cooked soup in a bowl and fixing a cup of juice; I brought the objects in the living room area on the coffee table. I turned on the television and flipped the channel to some anime show Serena liked to watch. Serena exited the bathroom with her wet clothing in her hands. I made my way over to her and took the wet clothing from her and disposed of them in the laundry room. When I returned Serena was sitting on the couch eating soup and laughing at something on the T.V.

I sat down with her and we watched T.V. quietly together. Serena finished off her soup and placed it down on the coffee table and then cuddled up against my side. It wasn’t long before Serena’s breathing went steady and she had fallen fast asleep. I too soon followed in her lead and fell into a rather peaceful slumber as well.

.::Serena’s POV::.

I stifled a yawn as I suddenly awaked from my slumber. I sat up and realized that I was pressed up against Andrew and he had an arm wrapped tightly around me. I smiled softly and looked upon his sleeping face and pondered over how he could be so sweet to me. My eyes soon shifted over towards my soup bowl and remember that I had finished it off. With a small pout I unraveled myself from Andrew’s arms and scooped up my bowl and made my way into the kitchen.

I looked into the pot that was still sitting on the stove and grinned when I seen that there was more soup left. My stomach growled hungrily as I poured the rest of the soup in to the bowl and placed the pan into the sink. I placed the bowl into the microwave and went to grab my spoon, but accidentally knocked it off of the counter, and watched it fall to the floor.

“Dang it,” I muttered as I picked up the fallen spoon and tossed it into the sink. I then made my over to the drawer that held the eating utensils and pulled it open. I stiffened as my eyes suddenly landed upon a knife and flash of Darien’s treachery came back and invaded my mind. I took a step back and placed a hand to me head, never taking my eyes off of the knife that seemed to be calling my name.

I swallowed deeply and slowly made my way back to the drawer. I grabbed the lethal utensil and gripped it tightly in my hand. A devious smile crept upon my face, heading towards the bathroom, soup all but forgotten. I closed the door behind me and made my way to the bath tub and stepped inside. Once I was in the cool bath tub I rolled up the sleeve to Andy’s shirt and placed the blade upon my wrist and I felt my breathing begin to quicken as I felt adrenaline rushing through my veins. I bit my bottom lip with anticipation as I heard a voice telling me to release the pain, release the heartache, release the darkness that was forming in my heart…and I did just that.

I took the knife and sliced it across my flesh, moaning as every hair on the back of my neck stood erect. I became enraptured in the feeling of relief as I glided the blade expertly across my arm. I slowly began to smile as the pain started to fade and the calming numbness began flow through me. My eyes suddenly focused as I stared at the damage upon myself and smiled at the grueling wounds.

I held the knife over my wrist as one passing thought crossed my mind; why don’t you finish it. I licked my lips as I pondered over that thought. Why don’t I finish it…no one will miss me…I only cause pain…no one loves me. I gripped the knife handle more tightly as I filled my self with more self hate. I felt a few tears fell from my eyes as I realized there was no reason for me to be in this world, and with that passing thought I took a deep long cut along my forearm. After moments of wallowing in the wonderful bliss of feeling numb, I dropped the knife as I suddenly began to feel light headed. I leaned back heavily into the bathtub as the world around me began to darken, a small sadistic smirk forming upon face.

“Molly…Daddy…I’m coming…” with those word spoken, Serena fell into unconsciousness.

.::Andrew’s POV::.

A rather annoying ding rang out, which caused me to snap out of my peaceful slumber. I looked around myself in confusion as I realized that Serena wasn’t beside me anymore. I jumped out of my seat alarmed and looked around wildly, not seeing the blonde in sight. I made my way into the kitchen and saw END flickering on the microwave screen. I opened it up and spotted a freshly warmed bowl of soup inside.

I furrowed my brows and closed the door and made my way down the hall, calling out Serena’s name as I did so. I checked my bedroom and seen that it was empty, then I made my way to the bathroom. I knocked on the door and heard no response, so then I took a hold of the door knob and opened, stepping into the room. My eyes widened as I saw the bloodied figure laying unconscious in my bath tub.

“Oh my God!”
