Hi!! This is my second Fanfic ever. It was 
inspired by driving school, and is dedicated to all 
those hurt and killed in accidents. I hope you like 
it. Please e-mail me with all opinions. I will 
accept any and all. My addresses are below.
Another note I would like to make real quick 
is all the girls have families. (I know Lita usually 
doesn't have on but here she does.) 
Regular disclaimers apply here. I don't any of 
the characters. But I do own my typed story. Thank

	I was sitting in the arcade, at my usual time 
in the afternoon, and at my usual spot. I took a sip 
of my drink and checked my watch again. No, it 
wasn't my imagination. Serena and her usual group 
were really late today. Just then my best friend, 
Andrew came over. 
	"Hey Darien what time is it?"
"A little past 4:30. Why?"
"I was just making sure my clock was right. 
Serena's little gang is missing today. They are all 
usually in here by now."
"I know. Not that I mind the silence, but it 
is a little weird. I almost wish?"
At that time and moment 4 girls walked into 
the arcade. But there was something different about 
them. Both Andrew and I noticed it at once. One 
thing that was wrong is they were all silent and 
gloomy. I also noticed that Serena was missing. We 
watched as they went and sat in one of the empty 
booths. Andrew looked at me and we walked over to 
them. When we were closer we noticed that they had 
all been crying.
"What's wrong?" asked Andrew
It was a while before one of them answered. 
Amy was finally the one who answered Andrews 
question.
"Its Serena."
"What? Did meatball head finally join the 
circus where belong? And you all miss her free 
shows?"
I don't remember what happened first. The 
scream, or Lita jumping up and hitting me as hard as 
she could.
"Don't you dare insult Serena. Not now. You 
have no right," she yelled into my face. After that 
she started to cry again. Holding a hand to my face 
I looked at Andrew in shock. He looked at me with as 
much confusion as I did.
"Amy, Mina. Guys what wrong?" he asked them.
"She was coming home from a small trip with 
her family," began Amy. "She was going to meet us 
here at 4:00. My mom called me at 3:30. There, there 
was an accident containing Serena and her family. A 
really bad one.
"At that point she started crying on Mina's 
shoulder. It was Raye who started in then. But I 
wasn't sure I wanted to here the rest of it.
"Their car flipped and crashed into a ditch. 
When help got there, they did all they could but 
Serena was the only one to survive. She isn't in 
great shape either. The hospital say she has a good 
chance at a full recovery, but over time."
I couldn't believe it. Serena had almost died. 
I would have never been able to get her forgiveness 
for everything I have ever done to her if she hadn't 
survived. 
"Darien? Are you alright?" asked Andrew.
It was then I realized that my hold on the 
table was the only thing keeping me standing. I 
tried to speak both I could. All I could do was nod 
to him telling him that I was ok.
"I'm going to wait at the hospital," I said 
suddenly. "Do any of you want a ride?"
The girls nodded to me. I just had to see her. 
"I will come over after my shift. I'll see you 
all later," Andrew yelled after us as we headed out 
the door. The drive to the hospital was a silent 
one. No felt like talking. My guess is they were all 
thinking about whom they almost lost. At least that 
is what I was thinking about. This whole ordeal hit 
way to close to home for me. I knew what it was like 
to lose your family in a freak accident. I could 
believe that this had happened to some one so kind. 
This brought back so many memories, ones that I have 
rejected for so long. This brought back all the pain 
of loneliness and sadness that I had felt over the 
years.
What seemed like after forever we finally got 
to the hospital. The head nurse told us that Serena 
was in intensive care and could not have visitors at 
the moment. We said we would wait for a while. The 
waiting room was not a happy place to be. Amy and 
Mina were crying, and it looked to me that Lita and 
Raye would start any minute. I didn't know what I 
was doing. All I could think about was how my little 
Serena almost died today. She almost died without me 
being able to tell her how I feel. Then something I 
hadn't thought about came to me.
"Hey guys. What is going to happen to Serena 
when she gets out of the hospital? I mean where is 
she going to stay?"
They looked at me with slightly confused 
looks.
"I mean, she doesn't have a family anymore," I 
said softly. I had to control the urge to start 
crying myself, and somehow I did it.
"I didn't think of that," Lita started.
"That's right. She doesn't have any other 
family in Japan," said Raye.
"Does she have any family any where?" I asked.
"No," said a new voice. "She doesn't have 
family who can take her in. I am not sure what is 
going to happen to her."
I looked up and saw that a doctor had entered 
the waiting room and was standing in front of us.
Immediately Amy stood up to greet the doctor 
with a hug. After stepping back she asked,
"How is she? Is she going to be ok?"
"Well, her injuries are not that bad. She has 
a broken leg; many bruised ribs, and is pretty 
banged up and bruised at the moment. But she should 
be ok. She might be out in a couple of weeks."
"Mrs. Anderson can we see her? Is it alright?" 
asked Mina.
"Usually patients in the intensive care rooms 
are only allowed family visitors. But since the 
circumstances, I think it would be all right. Please 
come with me. But you will have to be quiet. Got 
it?"
"Yes. Of course."
With that Mrs. Anderson led us down a hallway 
and up to the next floor. The nurse at the desk 
there gave us an annoyed look but seeing Dr. 
Anderson with us she didn't say anything. We walked 
down the hall and stopped in front of a door. One 
look from Amy's mother reminded us to remain quiet 
the whole time. Opening the door I let the girls in 
first. I decided to let them see her first while I 
hung out in the doorway. Looking in the room I saw 
my little angel, her eyes open in thin slits lying 
on the bed. She had several bruises on her face and 
of what I could see of her arms they were bruised 
too. 
Mrs. Anderson and I stood in the background 
while the girls crowed around the bed.
"Serena?" said Amy softly. "Are you awake?"
"Yea, I am," said Serena even softer. She 
sounded tired, and I was pretty sure she was.
"Oh Serena I was so worried about you. When 
Amy called me and told me I couldn't believe at 
first. She had to repeat it again for me. I just, 
just?" started Mina before she started crying again.
"Mina, its ok. I am ok. Or at least I will 
be," Serena gave a faint smile.
"But you're alone now. Doesn't that scare you 
to death?" asked Raye.
Serena gave her friend a studied her friend. 
So did I. How could she be so blunt about it? 
"Always to the point aren't you Raye?" I could 
hear the bitterness in her voice.
"Of course I'm scared. Who wouldn't be? I just 
lost everything I loved in a crash. You don't 
understand what it is like to lose your family do 
you? No one here does. You just don't realize?"
"I understand." I figured that was a good 
place to enter. Everyone stopped talking and stared 
at me. Even Serena glanced my way.
"I know what it is like, waking up, not know 
where you are. Not knowing what has happened till a 
doctor comes in and tell you your parents are dead, 
and you survived. I know what it is like to sit and 
listen to them tell you how lucky your are to have 
survived when what you really feel is like you are 
the unluckiest person in the world because you 
survived to have on one in you life. You' re wrong 
Serena. One person here does know what it is like."
After my little speech everyone was like a 
statue. The only movement was the slight nod that 
Serena gave me. 
"How could you know?" she almost cried it out. 
"How could you possibly know what its like?"
Looking around I had to decide if I really 
wanted to tell everyone here about my past. Looking 
from face to face I wasn't sure till I landed of 
Serena's pleading eyes.
"When I was almost 7, I was in a terrible car 
wreck. Both my mother and father were killed. I 
survived only to grow up alone, in an orphanage. The 
worst thing being where you can remember your family 
I couldn't. I don't remember anything about me life 
before the accident. Nothing."
I would have said more but that's is when 
Serena started crying. Not her usual wail, but a 
soft sorrowful crying that was enough to break one's 
heart. I couldn't help myself. I walked over to the 
bed and gave her a hug. She of course hugged me back 
and cried into my shirt. I could make out a few 
things she mumbled such as "just like me" and "I'm 
not alone with this." She was relying on me just 
then. I could tell. I knew she needed me then; and I 
would be there for her, no matter what. I would help 
her through this. After a while she finally let go 
and laid back down on the bed. We would have stayed 
longer, but Mrs. Anderson told us we had to leave. 
So I drove Raye, Lita, and Mina home. Any said she 
would wait for her mom. That night I had trouble 
sleeping. All I could think about was what was going 
to happen to Serena after she was released from the 
hospital. I didn't get to sleep till late that 
night. But even my dreams were filled with thoughts 
of my little angel.
