“Well my mom died in a car accident when I was 13.She was on her way to pick me up from soccer. My dad kind of buried himself in his work ever since and I haven’t seen him in two years and Rini was 1 when it happened and I have been taking care of her ever since.”
“Wow Darien im so sorry”
“Its alright”
“If it makes you feel any better I kind of know what your going threw. My dad died when I was 6 of cancer and my mom well she haven’t been the same since.”
“Sorry. Well you want too come upstairs with me to tuck rini in. She has been talking about you all day and is very exited about tomorrow”
“Well im exited too she’s a cutie”
We
went up stairs and I dropped my bags off in the guest bedroom.
after
I did that I fallowed Darien to Rini’s room. She was lying down
in the bed when she saw me she jumped up and ran to hug me,
“SERENA!”
“Hey sweetie”
“Are we still going tomorrow?”
”Of course we are .I made a promise didn’t I?”
“Rini its time for bed” he said
She went and climbed into the bed.
“Serena will you tell me a story?”
“Sure any in mind?”
“The little mermaid! Please”
“Alright”
I told her the story and by the part where she makes the deal with the evil woman she had fallen a sleep. While I was reading I glanced over to see Darien looking at me smiling.
I got up and me and Darien left the room.
“You know she really likes you she doesn’t really open up to most people. You should have seen when ray met her,” he said
“Oh I guess I just treat kids like they want to be treated she was probably a bitch to her so”
“Well Goodnight Serena let me know if you need anything”
“Okay good night”
He leaned over and kissed me I felt like I was in heaven. Like all my problems disapered. This was the reason I couldn’t of let my mom make me stay away from him. I wasn’t sure but I might even love him. That night I went to bed. I didn’t really sleep well. There was too much to worry about. Yeah I could run away from my problems tonight but they would all be there tomorrow. I woke up the next morning around 11 .I went down stairs to see Darien and rini on the couch watching Dora. I bet he loved that eh.
“Good morning sleepy head” he said
I just smiled.
“You want something to eat? We had eggs”
“Sure eggs would be good”
I went and sat down beside Rini then went to go and eat my breakfast not to long after I finished his phone rang.
“Hello” he said
I couldn’t hear what the people on the other line where saying.
“ Serena. Yes she is hear.Okay ill put her on.”
“Serena the phone” he said to me
I went to the phone and unfortunately it was my mom. Its great huh how I bet they only realized I was gone this morning, what a great family I have.
“Hello”
“Serena what are you doing there!?” she demanded “I want you home this instant”
“No. Ill come home when you say I can continue to see Darien”
“Serena No and your coming home”
“Mom. Why cant I just be happy. Darien makes me happy”
“Serena if it will get you home alright but you are grounded for 2 weeks”
“What ever I ll be home around 5”
“Now Serena”
“No I promised his sister id take her to the movies so I am”
“Another time Serena she wont mind”
“I made a promise mom. So Bye”
And I slammed the phone. The Day went on well I took Rini to go see meet the Andersons. She seemed to have a lot of fun and so did I after I took her back to Darien’s. While Rini was eating dinner Darien and me went outside of his house to talk alone.
“Darien. I probably won’t talk or see you for 2 weeks because im grounded”
“Rena, you can see me at school, at lunch and recess. We will find away too see each other”
He called me Rena. No one has ever called me that before in my life but I didn’t hate it.
“I guess so. I love you Darien”
What did I just say I love you? I didn’t mean it. Well I meant it I just didn’t mean to say it. What if im going to quick what if he doesn’t say it back?
