FOREVER SORRY by Dissident Rated PG Dear Darien, This morning I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the rose you gave me last week. I watched as one of the petals fell off the withering bud and drifted to the floor. It landed next to my locket. Seeing that petal, that symbol the love I thought we once had, fall from the dying rose and land next to the key to my true identity made me pause and look at my life. I realized that I _am_ immature and irresponsible, just like everyone always said. I saw how clumsy and inconsiderate I?ve been. I recognized my inability to succeed at anything except causing grief in the lives of the people I love. My selfishness be me apparent. I am sorry it took me so long to understand how the world never truly needed me. I am sorry I did not understand that when you tried to show me. Most of all, I am sorry for the frustration I caused you, my fate, my love, my dearest Darien, when you tried to tell me you did not love me. Forever Sorry, Serena ----- Serena placed the note on her pillow, then pulled the trigger. The bullet entered her temple and she was dead. ***** Darien reached Serena?s home less than an hour after her brother found her dead. He walked slowly, hesitantly, up to her bedroom, praying that this was just some sick joke. He knew in his heart, though, that it was no joke. His eyes teared up when he saw the blood-spattered note lying on Serena?s pillow. Darien kneeled beside her bed and read the note. Tears started streaming silently down his cheeks. The pain itself was too much for him. He looked around, searching for something to help with the unbearable ache of his broken heart. He ripped open the evidence bad the police left on Serena?s dresser and pulled the gun out. He checked the clip: one bullet rested inside. Darien turned to the window and said, ?I?m sorry, Serena. I?m sorry I hurt you so.? The last thing he saw were the apple blossoms floating gently by, dancing on the spring breeze. *~*~* All disclaimers apply: I don't own Sailor Moon or any related characters!
