Things Can Change

Chapter 7: What to do? What to do?

Serena looked at her friend in shock. At first not accepting what she heard, then a thought struck her. She was wondering if the test could be wrong but for now she would just have to comfort her friend in her time of need. `The illusion of her where she's not pregnant is so much easier than trying to come to terms with her possibly being pregnant.' Serena looked at her closest friend and concentrated on her. She didn't know why she did it she just felt like it might help, it didn't. Yet she still had the odd sensation of knowing that she most likely wasn't pregnant.

Serena realized Molly was looking at her, silently pleading for her to say something. "Don't worry, everything's going to be alright. I'm sure of it." She tried putting a light airy feeling to the way she said it but she just didn't have the energy. "Molly" Serena says suddenly. She just looks at me nodding slightly. "Let's go to my house, you can stay the night and then we can figure something out in private. Sound good?" Molly just nodded slightly again.

Serena lately felt like she was getting older and older. She didn't know if she was more mature but she felt like it. There was just something about the last few days that made her feel that way. No matter how much she wanted to keep up the blissful ignorance attitude that she usually had, she found herself becoming more aware of stuff around her. What was wrong with her? She had gone completely insane trying to pass herself off as mature even in her own mind.

Serena sat on one end of the couch a leg bent in the air and her arm resting on it while her other leg lay on the couch. Molly was on the other side of the couch her legs pulled to her chest and her head resting on the top of her legs slightly. Both looked at each other, neither wanting to break the silence first. Fortunately for Molly Serena spoke first "Are you sure? I mean are you sure your pregnant?" "Pretty positive, I mean I did take a test and it came out positive." Serena smiled.

Molly looked at her questionably but Serena only smiled more. "Molly, Molly, Molly…" Serena said and then laughed at herself. She sounded like someone that was trying to reason with a child and not yell. Although Serena wasn't even close to yelling, in fact she was close to laughing. Ah a terrible thing to do in this predicament no? Molly glared at Serena causing her to finally laugh. "And what may I ask is so funny about my situation? I for one don't see anything funny about it."

Serena gave her an apologetic look. "I-I'm sorry. It's just I don't think you're pregnant, and well I don't really know why I think this is funny, it seems that laughing is my response to everything when I'm unsure or think/know I'm right." Molly shook her head almost positive that Serena had finally lost her mind completely. "Serena it's impossible for me not to be pregnant. One I didn't use protection, and two I took the pregnancy test and it came out positive. That means I'm going to have a child weather or not I'm ready." Serena covered her mouth and there was a coughing noise barely heard coming from her way. "Listen Molly just because you had sex and didn't use protection doesn't commend you to being pregnant. There's always a what? 50/50 chance of being or not being pregnant. And for all you know the test could have been a um…Screw up and be a defect. What I mean is some test are defected and well it is a bit early so don't give up on the possibility that your not pregnant okay?"

Molly nodded. Whether she agreed because she believed Serena or because she just wanted her to be quiet Serena wasn't sure. Serena pounced on her friend giving her a big bear hug. Molly gasped for air surprised to say the least. Molly laughed realizing she should not be surprised when Serena does random acts such as this. This was after all Serena your talking about.

Serena was back in her spot on the couch as quickly as she had moved before. She was sitting differently though. She looked like she was getting ready to move quickly. She was sorta sitting anways. She was on kneeling on her feet, a sly grin on her face. She jumped back off the couch grabbing one of the couch pillows and throwing it at Molly. "Serena!" Molly yelped throwing the pillow back at Serena. "Pillow fight!" Serena yelled happily. Her plan working perfectly.

Molly jumped off the couch herself grabbing a pillow throwing it at Serena and ducking behind the couch. Serena laughed almost evilly. She grinned at her friends attempts and threw both pillows at her friend. There was a yelp behind the couch so Serena figured she had hit her target. Serena howled with laughter as her friend threw a pillow at her and Serena caught it with ease.

"Gahh!" Molly let out an angry sigh. Serena giggled and fell to the floor laughing. She quickly got back up throwing the pillow back at Molly. They continued their pillow fight for what seemed like ages to the two girls before they both finally collapsed on the couch, exhausted. Serena threw her hands up in the air "truce" she called. "Truce" Molly agreed.

Serena covered her hand over her mouth stifling a yawn. She grinned sheepishly at Molly "Well I guess are little fight kind of wore me out." Serena admitted. Molly nodded stifling a yawn of her own. "Maybe it's time for sleep?" Molly suggested. Serena nodded her agreement. They slowly dragged their tired feet up the stairs managing to get to Serena's room somehow and fell down on the bed. Molly scrambled on the bed toward the side were the wall was and snuggled against the pillows. "Night." She mumbled sleepily. "Night" Serena said turning the light out and burring her face in her pillow beside Molly.

*!*!*!*!*!*!

Serena and Molly sat in front of the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal each. "Isn't Sunday's wonderful?!" Molly said cheerfully obviously wide awake. "Oh sure, uh-huh, yep." Serena said, her attitude quite the opposite of cheerful Molly's. Serena yawned and looked at the time. "Wow, 9:02am." Molly looked up in surprise. "It's already nine?! Oh no! I have to go!" Molly got up quickly dashing towards the living room and the exit. "Hey wait up!" Serena complained.

Molly turned around "sorry Sere but I gotta go, I promised mom I would do something and if I don't leave now I'm going to be late and in a hell lot of trouble." Serena sighed and nodded. "Okay see you later then." Molly hugged her friend and smiled "Hey thanks Sere for your help and for listening to me, it's wonderful to know I have such a good friend." With that being said Molly was out the door in a matter of seconds.

Serena sighed lightly to herself. Today would be boring if she stayed, so she went upstairs to go get changed. When she came back down the stairs she wore a white tank top with a picture of a rose on it. A rose colored skirt, with many other shade's or red dancing along it in various spots. She wore her hair in its usual style and had on light makeup so it looked like she wasn't actually wearing any.

She was on her way to the arcade, it was amazing how she never grew tired of that place no matter how many times she had already been there. She saw her friends Amy, Rae and Lita and smiled to herself. She ran towards her friends smiling and waving, and you know what she did? She tripped. Yep, fell flat on her face. "How typical." Serena could hear what she thought was Rae speaking. "Meatball head fell again, how many times does that make this Amy?" Serena could barely hear Amy small voice as she spoke "um for once I don't know. I lost track."

Serena wondered what Rae was up to this time as she picked herself up, stumbling slightly. She looked at her friends and winced as she felt a scrape on her knee. She looked down and let out a groan as she realized she was bleeding slightly. `Damn! At least usually I don't get cut. Every other time I've fallen I didn't actually bleed.' She looked down at her knee and swore to herself. She looked at her friends that didn't even seem to care about her and where whispering to themselves lightly. Rae made a comment about something and the other's laughed. By the way Rae was looking at Serena, she could tell that they were talking about her.

Serena tried glaring at Rae and blinked back tears instead. She closed her eyes and then started walking towards them. Rae sighed when she saw Serena coming towards them, she was afraid Serena would talk to her, she was awfully surprised when instead of talking to the group or even wanting to hang out with the group Serena just walked on by.

Serena was angry. Really angry and when Amy shouted out "Hey Serena where are you going?" she almost lost it. She could tell they didn't want to be around her and wasn't quite sure why Amy or anyone else would ask. `Probably just to make fun of me,' Without even bothering to turn around she replied as calmly as she could "I have plans and if I stay and chit chat, I'll be late." With that said she quickly walked off until she was far enough from her friends and then looked around. "Shit!" she said as she realized she had already passed the arcade in order to get away from her friends. She looked around and then entered a clothing store.

She headed to the public bathroom and sighed leaning against the door. She had ignored the pain in her knee up until now and winced slightly. She walked over to the sink and started to clean up the blood that had gone down her leg. Once she was done she headed out and looked at some of the clothes. She found some clothes that she thought that she might want to come back here when she got her allowance and get, and others that she wouldn't be caught dead in. `Although I could wear something like that around Darien…' She wouldn't allow herself to go any further and so she walked out of the store.

She walked down the streets, window shopping. She looked in store windows that she had been in before and some that she hadn't. When she was finally done it was starting to get late and she had wandered a little into a town that she didn't recognize. She sighed and started to retrace her steps. This seemed to be a friendly town and she would have to remember to one day come back and take a look. Probably when it was earlier or close to noon. You never know about some towns. Some can seem nice but have really bad people and actions going on, and some could seem bad but have really good people and things going on. Just depended on where you go.

She was out of the town and back into her hometown in no time. She sighed and realized how late it actually was. It was only 9:00pm but tomorrow was a school day and she need all the sleep she could get. She started to walk home but came to the street that would lead to Darien's house. She looked at it and then looked at the street to her home. She started to debate but shrugged her shoulders and went towards Darien's apartment. No use in staying by herself if she could help it.

Serena knocked on Darien's door a little to loudly. She smiled as Darien opened the door a few minutes later. Without giving him time to barely make out who she was she flung her arms around his neck saying "Hi Darien!" He stumbled back a few steps but remained standing. "Um hey Serena." She let go of him and looked up at him smiling. Obviously not sure what to do he gestured his hand into the apartment "Would you like to come in?" She nodded slightly and he moved out of the way so that she could enter.

She walked over to his couch and sat down, she was just about tired with formalities. He sat down beside her and looked at her expecting an answer as to why she was here. She moved and was resting her head against his chest her legs on the couch so that she wouldn't be in an odd position. He wrapped his arms around her and then she was finally content and said "I was wondering if I could stay with you tonight?" He blinked startled slightly but she couldn't see his expression. "Serena tomorrows a school night." That was all he got to say before Serena interupted " I know but I don't want to be alone in my house. I mean my parent's have been gone since Friday but I've never been there by myself. Friday I was with you, then on Saturday Molly came over, and well I just don't want to stay by myself." She pleaded to him. He sighed.

"Alright you can stay, but expect to get up early. From the looks of it you don't even have your school stuff with you. Plus from what I can tell your always rushing off and never get to have a decent breakfast so expect to eat breakfast instead of running off." She groaned but agreed anyways. "Alright I think it's time to sleep, don't you think so?" She nodded yawning slightly. She got up after a second and dashed off to his room. He shook his head slightly and went off after her, at a more slower pace. When he got into the dark room he could see Serena cuddled into the blankets on one side of the room, by the light shining through the living room. He flipped a switch just outside his bedroom and the living room lights were out. He walked into the bedroom, even though it was now completely dark except for the moonlight he could make his way to his bed without stumbling.

He got undressed to where he was just wearing boxer's and the slipped under the covers. Imediately Serena moved closer to him and then mumbled "Nighty-night." He smiled and then kissed the top of her forehead "Night Serena."

-*-*-*

Serena awoke to Darien nudging her. "Hey time to wake up. Come on up and atom!" Serena groaned and pulled the covers over her head. He shook her now. "Five more minutes." Came her muffled reply. "Nope now get up or you'll be late." With that being said she was up and starting to get out of bed. "Damn, damn, damn!" She blinked and then sat back down after having seen the time and glared at Darien crossing her arms. "Okay wise guy, haha that was so funny now I think I'm going to back to bed. I mean really it's only 6:00am and school doesn't start until 8:30." She was starting to lay down when Darien caught her arm. "Oh no you don't. Your getting up now, you'll have just enough time to get ready, eat, go home and get your stuff, then go to school. So up, up, up!"

Serena grudgingly got up and eat breakfast. She even had enough time to take a shower while she was still there before she had to go home to get her stuff. She had kissed him on the cheek and was now standing in her doorway jumping for the key. She finally got it and smiled in victory. When she went inside she heard a crumbling sound and looked down to see a letter under her foot. There was a note on top of it, a neighbor had received her letter on accident and just now got around to giving it to her. Serena looked at the address half expecting to see it being from her parents but instead found it to be from her cousin Maria Ferwell.

Dear Serena,

Hey I just thought I would stop by from San Francisco. (whoo!) So I thought that within a week or two I'll be bye to visit my ever so favorite cousin. Your parent's had already given me permission to come since our school was shut down due something. I think they had insects and mice running around and the health attendent shut the school down? Maybe. Well I won't have to go to school for about a month or so, mainly until my schools principle and all of them can prove that they have fixed the school, so yay me vacation time!

P.S. I just sent this incase, you know your parents forget to tell you. I can't wait to see the other's also. Wee I'm so excited!

Maria

Serena looked at the note and shook her head. Even for a 17 year old she had the writing of a excited 10 year old. Although that was just her personality and Maria never did like to write formally unless she had to. Looking at the time Serena realized she would actually be early for school for once. She ran upstairs and changed into her school uniform and grabbing her bag making sure she had her homework.

-*-*-*

Serena entered her classroom and realized she was one of the first to be here. Besides Amy and Melvin anyways. They were to busy to even notice her and so Serena walked to her seat and sat down throwing her bag on the table. She looked at the clock. 8:10. Wow was she early. She rested her head on her bag and stared at the front of the room not bothering to even try and sleep. `Damn Darien! I could have at least 15 more minutes of sleep and still been here 5 minutes early. He has issues, maybe I'll help him solve them later on? Nah! Probably not, it would get to complicated.'

Ange: Whoo another chapter after a long awaited time! -whistles and looks guilty- I know I should update more but schools been really stressful and I'm lucky if I can update once a month. Today I was sick so I finally got to finish a chapter! Well I wasn't really sick, more like a sharp pain in my side. Still don't know what it is and I'll find out soon. I should be able to write more soon since I'll have a five day vacation. Now that doesn't mean I'm promising anything. I'm actually pretty lazy, but today I decided that I finally had enough reviews to secure me that people still like my story. I know I probably lost a lot of fans with that Molly/Maxwell thing, but I just felt like doing it and well it saved me some trying to make sense of what Molly tells Serena and also make it sound not so bad.

Well anyways um thanks to extremelyblonde for pointing out to me that you can't tell if your pregnant in one day, I didn't know that and since like I don't pay attention to that stuff. You made it a lot easier to set things up and make things easier to write. After I had posted the story I considered changing it to where she wasn't pregnant and stuff but then things wouldn't go as I planned. So when you made your point I was like `oh now I can write what I want and make Molly not pregnant or decide later on if want her pregnant.'

I hope everyone can forgive me for taking too long especially since this was a pretty boring chapter compared to the others and what I have planned. I'll probably have the next chapter out soon because I love ideas and stuff that I can do. ^_^ I'm still not promising anything but I'm really going to try. I want you all to remember that no matter what I do this is a SERENA/DARIEN paring. I would make other warning's but I don't want to give away the plot. (Sorry if the author thing doesn't make sense. O.o; mom's trying to get me off the computer and I'm rushing so that I can upload this today.)

Till the next chapter, bye bye.
