Darien stood in front of the room in which Serena was in.
`How could this have happened?' he asked himself over and over. But his thoughts were interrupted by the doctor still standing in front of him.
“You should go. She really needs to rest.”
“I can't leave her,” Darien answered.
The doctor looked at him a bit curious.
“Are you related to her? Or…are you her boyfriend?” he asked Darien, hoping deeply that the answer to his second question was a `no'.
“I'm…just a friend,” Darien answered hesitantly once again.
“I see. Well--,” the doctor was cut-off.
“Can I just see her? Just for a second? I just want to know if she's alright,” Darien insisted.
The doctor sighed, “Alright, ten minutes. Just don't wake her.”
“I won't,” Darien promised.
Once Darien was inside the room, he could tell right away that it was Serena who was lying on the bed. Not because of her face, but because of her hair. It was like a golden cascade falling on both sides of the bed. Darien moved closer to her. Her face was a little bruised. Her bottom lip had a slight cut. He looked down at her arms, which were stitched here and there. Her legs were covered by sheets, but he could imagine their state.
“I'm sorry, Serena,” he whispered, trying to hold back his tears. But in the end, he couldn't.
He held her hand in both of his. `Was this what I was dreading? But…I stayed away from her! Just like my dream told me to! Did I do something wrong??' Darien stood up. He couldn't handle being in the same room in which Serena lay unconscious because of him. At least, he thought. He reached down and kissed her temple. Darien opened the door, but before he went through it, he looked back once more to Serena. `She's safe, at least,' he thought gratefully.
Darien had told Rei everything about what had happened to Serena. Except, Rei didn't want Serena's mother to worry, so she simply told her that Serena had called her and told her that she was going to be going on a school trip for a few weeks. And she asked her to tell her mom, for she had forgotten to tell her about it. That relieved Mrs. Tsukino for the moment.
All of the girls visited Serena the very next day. They were so tormented to see, not only their friend that unites all them together, but also their leader so badly injured. Unfortunately, they couldn't stay long. The doctor had come in to check how she was doing.
“Hello, angel,” he whispered to her. He took her temperature and checked her pulse. “Everything seems to be fine. Except for some of your memory, of course, but we'll deal with that once you wake up,” he smiled softly down to her. And something surprised him; she carefully fluttered her eyes open and stared straight at him. Her eyes were like heaven, they looked so peaceful and joyful, that he couldn't bring himself to look anywhere else.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi,” she answered softly, after a while.
“I'm Dr. Alexander. You've had a really dreadful accident. But fortunately, you're still with us,” he said calmly not to alarm her. She was silent, for some reason that's all she could do at the moment. He continued to look at her, “Can you tell me your name?” He didn't want to tell her about her memory just yet; he was simply testing to see what she did remember.
She opened her mouth to answer, “…Serena.”
“Well, Serena, it's an honor to meet you. My name's Daniel, Daniel Alexander to be precise. And as far as I can say, you're making good recovery. You'll still have to stay at the hospital for a while nonetheless. But don't worry; your friends know you're here. They came earlier today as you can see,” he said referring to the pink roses surrounding her bed. She smiled slightly, “My favorite,” she said aloud. (I honestly don't know if the anime says which flowers are her favorite, but I'll just put mine in. =D It's my story!)
“Are they? I'll keep that in mind,” he told her a bit slyly as she turned to face him. He smiled as her cheeks became slightly pink. “I'll be coming to check on you before I leave today,” he told her as he tapped her soft hands with his.
After he left, Serena looked down at herself. She saw her arms, but feeling as she was weak, she couldn't lift them. She sighed in exasperation. All she could do was look out the window. She saw birds flying in the clear, blue sky. `What happened?' she asked herself at last, `Was I really in an accident? All I can remember is going to Rei's temple to discuss some scout business…and then…everything else is a blur to me.'
Close to the end of the day, and she still couldn't figure out how she could have obtained this many injuries. `Why hasn't mom and Sammy been here?' she thought puzzled.
Darien was sitting on his bed. He couldn't go to her, even though it's been killing him the whole day. How he wanted to see her, touch her, hear her. It was all too much for him. Yet, he resisted. `What if something much worse happens to her if I do go?' he said to himself. “Serena…”
Serena turned toward the door, wondering who was opening it.
“Hi,” he said.
Cliffhanger! Who do you guys think it is?? I haven't written the third chapter yet so I'll take any suggestions to see who you guys would like it to be. Alright, well, thanks for all of you who stuck around to read what happened next. I know this one was a lot shorted than the first but I liked where it ended. Please review!
