Serena(15) is a volunteer at the hospital, and Darien(18) was in a crash. Overcoming Obstacles-Part 1 by Sailor Em "So Serena. How are you doing?" Sue, the head nurse,asked Serena as she came through the double doors of the hospital. "Oh..okay I guess. Same old, same old. Nothing new. But here is some interesting news! I think Sammy has a new girlfriend and he is only 12. And here I am, 15, with no boyfriend in sight from here to Osaka!" "Hahaha. Yeah Serena. Someday the right guy will come for you. By the way, I have two new jobs for you. You have new patients to cheer up.Their names are Darien and Andrew, and they were in a motorcycle accident.You think you can cheer them up?" "Oh sure. Gimme their personal info and i'll see what I can do. " "Well, they're both 18, go to Azabu High School....." "Wait," Serena interrupted "that's MY high school. Are their names, by any chance, Darien CHIBA and Andrew CROWN?" "Yup. You guessed it. " "Oh no!" Serena groaned."Darien happens to be the hunkiest guy in the universe! And also conceited, full-of-himself and a flirt! I can't handle him.Ask Granny Karen to come cheer him up!" "Uh, no can do, Serena. He SPECIFICALLY asked for a cute nurse. And there is only one cute nurse: you." "SEE!!! Here is one example of his flirtiness! He wants to make a pass at me! Wait till he sees who the "cute nurse" really is. He hates my guts. He calls me Meatball Head constantly. But Andrew is okay. I think I will introduce him to my cousin, Mina.That will be okay, but cheering Darien will be slow torture for me." "Well, the best way it can go is that you guys fall madly in love with each other and live happily ever after. The worst way it can go is that he calls you Meatball Head again and ruin your pride. So go for it!" Sue gave Serena an encouraging smile, handed her his medical history and left her. Serena groaned and headed towards Darien's room, fearing for her life. She walked in slowly, taking careful note of his surroundings. Darien was placed in a nice, sunny corner of the room. Unlike many other rooms, he had no flowers or gifts beside his bed. All he had was a glass of water. Serena instantly felt sorry for Darien. This gave her more courage and she stepped up beside his bed, touching his hand softly. "Hi Darien. Remember me?" Darien opened his eyes a crack. "Oh, it's YOU Meatball Head!" Serena groaned. "Well, why are you here? I asked for a pretty nurse, not a featherbrained little girl." Serena turned bright red. "Listen. I volunteer to HELP people, not to be insulted. I did not choose to be stuck with you. I was assigned, and I will not let the head nurse down." "Oh yes. Of course, Meatball Head. I believe you. Why would a girl like you want to be stuck with a hunk like me? You are right. It's just TOO improbable, huh?" He gave her a lopsided smile and a wink.Serena couldn't help but laugh at his flirtatious comment. "Cut the dramatics, Darien. Let me see how you're doing. You bruised two ribs and you have a large cut on your arm, huh? Hmmm..give me your hand, okay?" Darien lifted his bandaged hand over to Serena and she took it gently. Darien noticed her smooth, soft hands and began thinking. While Serena was examining his arm, the silence was making him afraid that he would do something to her that he was going to regret. He tried to start up a general conversation. "So, Serena, what's up? How are you doing at Azabu?" "Oh. I'm doing fine. How did you get this bad bruise on your hand? I don't think it is from the accident.It is really bad. The blood vessel burst under the skin." Darien snatched his hand away. "I...uh..just hit it on my door." "Get real, Darien. How can the Great Darien Chiba, the major swooner of all girls and the captain of the football team get a clutz attack and hit a door hard enough to get a popped blood vessel? I'm smarter than that,you know." "Yeah Meatball Head. Only you would clutz out like that. Remember time time you tripped on your eraser and ended up kicking me in the shin?" He laughed, avoiding her eyes."Wait a minute, Serena.Did you just say major swooner for ALL girls? Including yourself?" he asked, grinning. Serena blushed and ignored his statement. She leaned closer and held his face gently.She looked him in the eye and said, "Darien,stop stalling. Just tell me." Darien thought for a moment. Could he trust her? He wasn't sure. What if she told everyone? He looked into her eyes, and saw concern and trust. He was lost in her for a few moments, then decided he was safe with her. "Okay. Serena, you have got to promise me this. I haven't told ANYONE this before, and you have to swear that you won't tell. I am telling you this because I trust you, okay?" Serena was startled. She didn't know it would be so serious. She had just thought that he got hurt playing football or something. Why had he decided to trust her, a sophomore, of all people? He was a high and mighty senior. "Okay." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dum da dum dum! so, should i continue this one or the other one or both? flames..comments or suggestions...all are welcome. ~Sailor Em (sailorgalaxia1@yahoo.com)
