Chapter 6

"Mind if I joined?"

Serena looked up to meet the intruder. Her gaze softened slightly, at his ridiculous puppy dog face.

"Seyia-" She started, "-Listen I'm sorry about before. I over-reacted, and said things I shouldn't have. But it's not right for you to judge my relationship either, I get it your trying to protect me, but I can handle myself too." Serena said.

Seyia sighed, and scratched the back of his neck. "Listen Sere, it's fine. I'm sorry about the way I approached the situation, but I'm not sorry about the things I said. Although I wish sometimes you would listen to me too before you shut me away." Clearing his throat he lowered his gaze to Serena, his best friend, and to her boyfriend, but sorrow welled up in the pit of stomach.

He placed a smile on his face, "You guys always seem to fit well together. Like two puzzle pieces." He let out a small laugh, and a smile glazed Serena's face, he felt his own lips twitching upwards into a true smile. "Once again Sere I am sorry for hurting your feelings, but I guess Darey-boy here is a good guy." He said placing his 100 watt smile on, and patting Darien on the back.

Serena let out a giggle, "Okay, okay, I accept your apology! Do you accept mine?" She said raising a eyebrow in question.

"Of course!" He said plopping down in front of the couple, "I hope you don't mind but I am starved!" As he unwrapped his sandwich and took a huge bite out of it.

"Easy man, your going to choke with the way your going!" Darien said chuckling.

Serena just rolled her eyes and laughed, enjoying this moment. She was glad her two favorite guys were getting along.

"Meatball head!" Rei yelled from the inside of her room.

"Yes Pyro?" Was Serena's response from the living room, as she continued to do her homework besides Darien.

"Where's the pizza?"

"I just called about ten minutes ago, they won't be here for another half hour."

"Well why didn't you call earlier!" Rei screamed.

Serena slammed her pen down and looked up at the fiery girl, "Well I don't know maybe because a certain Pyro couldn't make up her damn mind on what she wanted to eat!"

"You should know already what I want!"

"I'm not a damn psychic!"

"UGH!" Rei screamed before slamming her bedroom door.

Serena grabbed her pen, and continued to do her homework, mumbling to herself about bitch pyro psychotic woman whose on her damn fucking period.

Darien scratched his head at the scene, and proceeded to read his book.

Rustling of the keys were heard, as the door opened Beryl popped her head through the door.

Rei's door opened, but her face dropped when she saw it was Beryl, "Ugh, it's just you!" She then proceeded to go back into her room.

Beryl sighed as she walked into the living room, "Hello to you too." She sat down and begin to rustle with the mail.

Darien stared at his sister, "Hey are you okay?"

She just shook her head, "Fine, I do have some news though. Mother and Father are holding a Ball, or celebration, whatever you want to call it, and they expect us all to be there."

Serena's ears twitched, trying to concentrate on the task in front of her, finishing up she closed her belongings and placed them away, and turned the television on pretending to not pay attention to the conversation.

Darien groaned, "Ugh seriously, whats going on this time?"

Beryl crossed her legs and leaned back into the sofa. "Apparently they just took over two other companies, and want to hold a party in celebration of the joining of these companies, something like that, and they want to introduce me to the men in hoping I settle down, and get married, since I am apparently going beyond that age."

Darien laughed, "Seriously, did they finally give up on me?"

Beryl's lipped twitched, "I highly doubt it. They did say that our friends are more than welcomed to come, including Blondie over there." She said pointing to Serena, who took this into notice, turned around.

"To where?" Was Serena's question as she tilted her head to the side.

Darien smiled at the cute gesture, which didn't go unnoticed by Beryl.

"To a party my parents are throwing, My parents do expect that if you are coming to bring a date, that includes you Darien." Beryl said.

"Huh?" Darien looked into confusion.

"Mother and father said that in order for them to truly leave you alone, you must finally bring a date, who will be worthy of your future bride, otherwise be prepared to get set up." Beryl ended with a smirk.

"Are you serious?" Darien asked.

Beryl stood up, and threw down an envelope. "There you go."

"Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong."

As Beryl went to go answer the door, Darien's face paled at the letter, which was clearly in his mothers handwriting. The party was said to be in two weeks time, and everything his sister said was true, he threw his head back in anger.

Serena was quiet, not knowing what to do for her boyfriends distress.

Beryl walked back into the living room, still with a eerily smile on her features, "Pizza's here."

There you have it.. sorry for the wait :)
