A Gift That Meant Goodbye By: Silver Star "Morning mom!" Serena said as she bounce down the stairs on Christmas morning. "Morning, honey!" Serena's mom greeted her. "First time got up early, eh, sis?" Serena's brother asked as he come down the stairs. Serena stick out her tongue at Sammy. She quickly went to the Christmas tree and start to find her gifts. Suddenly a nametag caught her attention. She picked the box up and look at it. It's pink with red roses on it and a fake red rose is on the top. "It's pretty." Serena said softly. She turn it around and found the nametag that had caught her attention. She looked carefully at it and gasped. It said 'To Serena, From-'. "Darien! It's from Darien!" Serena said surprised. She quickly and carefully pealed the wrapping paper and the fake rose off. She opened the small box and looked inside. She gasped. It's a silver necklace with a rose that's make out of ruby on it! "It's beautiful!" Serena gasped out. She took it out and put it on immediately. Something else in the box has caught her attention. It's a paper that had fold in half. She unfold it and read it. She frowned and read it again to make sure she hasn't read it wrong. It said: Dear Serena, I'm sorry for all the bad things I did to you. I promise I will not do it again and this time I know I won't do it. Goodbye. I love you forever. Love, Darien Serena grabbed her jacket on the way out. "I'll be out for a while. See ya!" Serena yelled as she walk out the door. *********** *Airport* "THE PLANE TO AMERICA WILL BE LEAVING IN 5 MINUTES. PLEASE ABORD THE PLANE. THANK YOU!" The announcer said. Darien picked up his luggage and walk slowly toward the stairs that lead into the plane. Halfway up the stairs, he turn around and look at the country he was born in. (Celine Dion's 'Just Walk Away' start to play in the background.) I know I never loved this way before And no one else has loved me more With you I've laughed and cried I have lived and died What I wouldn't do just to be with you I know I must forget you to go on I can't hold back my tears too long Though life won't be the same I've got to take the blame And find the strength I need To let you go... "Goodbye, Serena." Darien whispered before he went into the plane. ********** ...Just walk away Just say goodbye Don't turn around now you may See me cry I mustn't fall apart Or show my broken heart Or the love I feel for you... Serena run down the street toward Darien's apartment. Serena thought as she moved closer to his apartment. ...So walk away And close the door And let my life be as it was before And I'll never never know Just how I let you go But there's nothing left to say Just walk away... Serena start to bang on the door of Darien's apartment after she had arrived. "I know you are in there, Darien! Come out!" Serena yelled as she kept on banging on the door. Suddenly the door opened and a man come out. "Hello, little girl." He said. "But but but this is Darien's apartment!" Serena stammered out. "Oh, you mean the guy that used to live here?" "What do you mean 'used to'?" "He just moved out this morning." "No! No, he couldn't be!" Serena cried as she start to run to the park. ...There'll never be a moment I'll regret I've loved you since the day we met For all the love you gave And all the love we make I know I've got to find the Strength to say... ********* ...Just walk away Just say goodbye Don't turn around now you may See me cry I mustn't fall apart Or show my broken heart Or the love I feel for you... "I love you." Darien whispered as the plane fly away. ******** *One year later* "Morning Serena!" Mina yelled as she saw Serena walk to school. "Hey!" Serena said smiling. She hadn't put up her usual meatballs ever since he had moved away. She just couldn't stand it anymore! Every time she heard anybody call her Meatball Head, she would think of him and break down crying. She had stopped been a cluz or a crybaby anymore so now she's WALKING to school EARLY! She turn to the rising sun and sighed...thinking about him. ********* *America* "I'm sorry if I have ever hurt you, Serena. I promise I will not do it again and I'll make sure of it this time. I love you, Serena." Darien said as he walk through a forest...thinking about her. ...So walk away And close the door And let my life be as it was before And I'll never never know Just how I let you go But there's nothing left to say Just walk away ~End~ What do ya think?
