Please? ~stares innocently~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serena stared in shock when she had heard the announcement. *How could this happen? Didn't father know that I wanted to marry for love, and not for money or title or anything else? How could he do this to me?* thought Serena. Crystal tears were brimming her blue eyes and she tried to be strong, tried to show people that she wasn't the crybaby she use to be. But the crying couldn't be helped, Serena closed her eyes, letting the tears fall slowly, shook her head, and ran through the crowds, out of the house, the house that had led her through so many happy and despairing times, and right now, it was bad, real bad. People looked at the shattered girl as she ran, then they looked back at the men who had caused her to shatter and they scowled. Mr. Eddington seemed surprised, but Devon didn't show any emotions at all. Recca, who had been staring at the whole scene, ran out the door, following his dear sister. Darien was also heartbroken at the news, but his heart shattered more as he saw the crystal tears. Meanwhile, Serena had run towards her comfort place, her white rose gardens. She loved them since she was a child. To her, it seemed that somehow the roses comforted her, but now, when she needed the most comfort, it wasn't there. Her hands covered her face, as she continued sobbing. It was so loud that she didn't even hear the footsteps of her brother, Recca, coming. She didn't notice until she had felt warmth. At first she was alarmed, but when she smelled the strawberry fragrance, she relaxed and just let the warmth comfort her. Recca hated seeing his sister like this, and if the person who made her like this wasn't their father, Recca would've beaten them, but right now, he was beyond furious at his father. He knew that once a marriage was consented by the father, it could not be broken. After minutes of Serena weeping, she calmed down to just breathing peacefully. "Serena, are you ok?" asked Recca, concerned. His little sister looked up at him for the first time since she started crying. Recca let out a small gasp. Serena's eyes were puffy and tear streaks were left as a way to show people how much she had just suffered. Her eyes held out the answer, "Recca, how could father do this to me? He knew that I wanted to marry for love and just love, didn't he? Why did he do this to me, Recca? Why? Why?" she kept repeating. *Yes, why did father do this to Serena? How could he do this to her? Father was always a kind and caring man, how could he suddenly turn his back on Serena when he knew about her dream, her true dream?* asked Recca to himself. "Serena, I promise you everything will be alright. Right now, it may seem painful for you, but remember that everything happens for a reason. Everything leads to a path that ends in happiness," said Recca carefully. He didn't want to say anything that might upset her even more. "But I don't want to feel pain! And if everything happens for a reason and the reasons lead to happiness, how will me marrying HIM bring me closer to happiness?!" she asked, near yelling. "Serena, remember when we were younger and we use to play together in your gardens, remember?" Serena nodded, "Remember when you touched a thorn and you started to cry? Then I fixed it up for you and after I promised that I would always protect you from any kind of pain, emotional or physical? Remember that?" Serena nodded again, "Well, I promised you that I would, and that is one vow I plan to keep. Serena, deal with the pain now, or deal with it later. That is something you have to choose now because you can't keep holding things off." Serena let the words sink into her, *deal with it now or deal wit hit it later, that is something I must choose, and I choose now... I'll let the pain come first, then the happiness* thought Serena. She gave a small smile to Recca. Recca was right about another thing, he HAD always protected her, a promise he always kept, and that was one of the reasons she loved him most out of all her other brothers. "Thank you." Serena replied. Then, it was Recca's turn to smile. "No problem, little sister," responded Recca, "do you want to come back inside? Or do you want to stay out here?" "I'll stay out here for a little while. I still need to think, and I don't think I'm ready to face father or DEVON right now," she stressed out the hated name, "why don't you go back inside? I want to be alone." "Well," Recca hesitated, "if you're sure." Serena nodded, "Ok, I'll go back inside. I'll tell father and everyone that you want to be alone and not to bother you, alright?" "Thank you for everything Recca," replied Serena. "Don't worry about it," Recca smiled softly. Then, the brother and sister hugged each other one more time and then Recca let go gently. He stood up, smiled at his precious sister again, and walked away to leave Serena in her wished solitude. She stood up and went to touch the roses. She sighed sadly. If she really had to marry Devon, she would rarely see these roses. *Why could I have married someone else? Even Darien would have been better* she thought. Ever since she had first saw Darien, she felt something that she had never felt before, something that filled her happily, something that made her happy, that made her heart giddy and smile. *Could it be? No, it couldn't be, right?* She sat down again, trying to sort out her feelings, *Do I really...love...Darien? Is he really the one I've been waiting for all my life? Is he?* Serena thought about it over and over, trying to find the answer. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the footsteps behind her again. She was shattered out of her thoughts when she heard a special voice, a voice that she had been longing to hear, "Serena, are you ok?" It was Darien. She turned around and looked at him. Close up, he was even more admirable. The black tuxedo looked like it was made just for him, his hair made her hands shake from her not trying to run her hands in it, and his eyes, were they covered with love and care, for her? *Naw, couldn't be. Must be her imagination.* "I've been better," she responded, "why aren't you inside?" she had decided that it was just pity because she was his best friend's brother. "Well, actually," he stammered, "I came to see you. I wanted to see if you were ok, and besides, I'm not much for fancy parties," he faltered again...Darien looked closely up at Serena. She was even more beautiful close up. Her dress suited her agile body, her hair looked like pure gold in the white moonlight, and her eyes were still filled with unshed tears. She smiled up at him and he desperately desired to feel those pink, soft lips. "Why don't you sit down?" she patted at a spot next to him. He sat down nervously, but didn't show it. He was trying to focus at a white rose and not at Serena's face. Serena on the other hand was watching Darien's face, an action that she could not resist, not that she wanted to. She saw him staring at something and looked down at what had caught his midnight blue eyes. It was a rose. She had bent down slightly, trying to pick the rose, unbeknownst to her that Darien was going to do the same thing. Their hands touched and they both gasped, but both didn't pull away. Their eyes met again, locking gazes, neither one wanting to let go. Serena leaned forward, while Darien doing the same thing. *What was she feeling right now? Was this a crush or really love, and how could she tell?* *Serena, I don't know what I'm feeling but it's something special.* Never had he thought he could fell such strong emotions, but maybe it was love. He felt it, and he liked it. Their hands had been stroking the other lovingly, but they both didn't notice. The only thing that mattered to them was each other. They leaned in farther towards each other, and in seconds, two lips met. It was a kiss that had made their hearts filled, a kiss that would last for eternity, a kiss that had locked their love for each other. After minutes, after letting go because of the shortage of air in their lungs, they just held onto each other. "Darien, I love you," Serena whispered silently, not wanting to break the spell that had been cast by fate. "I love you too, forever, for eternity," Darien whispered back. They held on for each other for the rest of the night, wanting to cherish the feeling of being in love, and loving the other just as much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Editor's Note: MORE!!
