Later on June 29
"Where is she Ryan?" Darien asked as he walked into the apartment.
"Third door to the right. Wait, she's a sleep Darien, in fact she hasn't woken up at all, but she'll be O.K." Ryan told him as they walked towards Star's door.
Ray was in there with tears in her eyes. "I can't lose her again, Darien. I just can't!"
"We won't, she'll be fine. You know how much she loves to sleep."
Ray gave him a small smile as she walked out to sit in the living room with the others, leaving Darien alone with Star. He sat in the chair next to her bed and held her hand.
"We won't lose you again Serena, none of us could stand it, you have to come back to us, my angel."
Darien sat there next to Star watching her sleeping form.
June 30 3am.
"Darien, here it's black," Ryan handed him a cup of coffee.
"Thanks, Ryan."
"Has she woken up at all?"
"No!"
"Why don't you go to my room and lie down, you need some sleep. Don't worry I'll stay with her and I will come and get you if she wakes up."
Darien left and just fell asleep, when he suddenly woke up, "Serena!" When he reached the door Ryan was just coming to get him.
"She's not a wake, but she's been calling for you."
7 am
Darien is asleep in the chair, and Star starts to wake up. 'Why don't I make him more comfortable?' Star then "magically" moved Darien on to her bed. Then she took a quick shower, changed out of her clothes into tear-a-ways (with short underneath) and a T-shirt. After that she was worn out, so she lied down on the other side of her bed and went back to sleep while watching Darien sleep.
9 am
"Darien, wake up."
"What's wrong? I only fell asleep for a second. Wait how did I get on the bed?"
"Be quiet, Star is still asleep. How you got on the bed, well look over at Star."
Darien turned to look at Star who was changed and whose hair was still wet.
"She was awake and I wasn't."
"She probably used up the little energy she had on making you comfortable,and getting cleaned up. I bet she's up before noon. Just tell me so I can call everyone."
"O.k." Darien agreed, still half asleep and amazed by his little Serena.
11:30 am
"Darien, wake up!" Star only whispered but yet Darien woke up with a start.
"Why did you move back to the chair? You looked very much more comfortable on the bed."
"How are you feeling?"
"Like what's to be expected. Light headed, dizzy, headache, and for the first time hungry."
"I have to go out and tell Ryan you're awake. Why don't I get you something to eat?" Darien asked as he was getting up form the chair.
"Wait, Darien don't go, yet." Darien sat back down, "I wanted to thank you, for coming and staying with me. I'll be o.k. After we eat why don't you go home and get some sleep.
"Serena, Star, if I wanted to go home I would have by now, don't you think?" Darien asked as he kissed her sweetly on the lips. The he retreated out of her room, to go talk to Ryan, who was sitting in the living room.
"She's awake?"
"Yes, and hungry for the first time, she said."
"She fooled you guys, the really reason she use to always eat so much, was because she thought she should gain weight. But then she didn't have time to eat in the states, so it really is amazing. Andrew is coming over with food, I told him to bring you two something. Now get in there and see how she's doing."
Darien left Ryan, but once he entered Star's room he saw that she was all ready fast asleep. He went up to the bed, pulled the blanket over her and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Sleep well, my Angel."
