He frowns slightly. "I...don't really want to talk about them right now. It's really embarrassing.""It wouldn't bother me, Sergio," she assures him earnestly. "Whatever you wanna tell me, I will listen."He takes a deep breath and shakes his head. "It's nothing important.""It's obviously something," she insists. "If it bothered you, you wouldn't have brought it up. Come on, spill it."He gives her a small smile. "Nothing. Forget about it. It was just a silly memory anyway. Now we better get going before Dad realizes that we've been gone all morning.""Good point," she agrees, taking a quick glance out of the window. There's no sign of her father' car yet. She guesses that he must be driving around town. He usually drives around during the weekends anyways, so it doesn't really make sense for him to be here already.She follows Sergio upstairs to their room, closing the door behind them. He takes off his jacket and hangs it up carefully by the closet before sitting down at his desk
"Hey," King Sergio mutters, placing a soft kiss on the side of her head. "Please don't cry anymore. Please."But Serena does not want to listen to him.She squeezes her eyes shut, her hands clutching his shirt tightly as if she wanted to pull him away from her. But instead of separating, he holds her tighter, kissing the side of her head once more."I'm here," he repeats softly. "I'm here. Don't cry." This time, she does cry."Shh." Daniel strokes her hair gently, pulling her even closer to him. "Let it out. Let it all out."Serena cries quietly, burying her face further into Daniel's chest as tears continue to stream from her eyes. She clenches his shirt as she continues crying. It feels good, actually, to cry like this after all these years. She never knew how much she missed it until it finally came back to haunt her once again. Her entire body trembles violently, and it seems that she hasn't stopped trembling since yesterday afternoon. She doesn't care if Sergio notices. She
He sighed heavily. Things were going to be different now that they were going to spend the entire weekend together. This was the first time they had gone out somewhere together for more than five minutes in months. He was sure that they would enjoy themselves very much, but…Sergio shook his head, trying to rid himself of those thoughts.The sound of the front door unlocking broke him out of his thoughts, and he quickly got out of bed and straightened out his uniform as best as he could. He quickly walked out of his bedroom and headed downstairs towards the living room, hoping that he could avoid his mother and father for some reason or another. He was afraid of what they would ask him about his sister, and he just wasn't ready to deal with it. Maybe he should tell them everything, but for now, he was hoping that they wouldn't ask. After all, he knew exactly how they would react if they knew how badly Serena was feeling. They would probably scold her for not telling them sooner, and
His stomach growled again.Maybe he could skip the breakfast. Yeah, he definitely should skip the breakfast. And the coffee.Sitting in a crowded cafeteria was the last thing that Sergio had expected when he woke up. He didn't even consider skipping his morning shift. Not when there was the possibility that something might happens.As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt like he was going to throw up. His headache had become unbearable, and he wished that he hadn't slept so long the previous night. Everything was spinning. His vision kept blurring every time he blinked, and his body was aching everywhere. He felt like his whole body was burning up. The lights above his head were blinding him, and his ears felt extremely sensitive. His head was throbbing, and he wondered whether he was going to be sick.But he didn't. He managed to force himself to sit upright, and forced himself to swallow the nausea down so that he wouldn't make a scene during the meal. He didn't want his parents to
But she also knew that there were some things that she simply couldn't comprehend. Maybe they were just too complicated, too difficult to understand. Her brother was stubborn it didn't surprise her. He could be very stubborn when he was determined to achieve his goal. She couldn't imagine him ever breaking his promise to her. But she hoped that he would be able to break this promise if he really wanted to. She hated to see her brother in pain. It made her angry and upset, but she also wanted him to be happy. She wanted him to be happy because he deserved it more than anyone. She wasn't saying this to make herself feel better, she just had a habit of saying the things that she thought others needed to hear the most. She wasn't sure if it was healthy, but who cared, anyway? It was probably for the best. She would get used to it eventually, right? She could deal with it. She hoped that she could. She wished that she could help him, but she wasn't entirely sure that she could, even th
Sergio sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the ceiling. His mind was filled with countless thoughts at the moment. He was confused, frustrated, sad, and angry. He was overwhelmed with emotions that he couldn't process. He felt like a mess. There were so many emotions running inside of his head. There were things that were confusing and he didn't know how he felt about all of it. He was having a hard time coping, but he wasn't giving up on her. He wasn't ready to give up on her. She was important to him and she always would be. He had lost her once and he was never going to lose her again. He was determined. He was strong, and he didn't know if he had the strength to survive another loss. But he wasn't willing to give up on her either. He was willing to do whatever it took to make her happy and to prove to her that he cared about her.He was staring at the ceiling, not paying attention to anything around him. He was deep in thought. He wasn' t thinking about her. Or about anyth
"Are you okay?" She questioned, concerned.His eyes flew open. "Y...yes." He replied quietly.She seemed unsure whether or not she believed him. Her eyebrows furrowed together in worry as she stared at him intently, searching his expression. She was obviously still worried and confused about everything that had just happened. She didn't understand why he had reacted the way that he did. She didn't understand why he had pushed her away. She didn't know that he was trying to save himself. She didn't know that he didn't feel the same way about her anymore. She couldn't understand why he wasn't saying what he wanted to say. She couldn't understand why he wasn't being honest. She couldn't understand why he kept blaming her.Her hand dropped off of his arm. She stared at him for a moment before turning around to leave the room. She didn't understand what was happening. She was completely lost and confused. She didn't understand anything that was going on with him. She didn't know what wa
So very angry. And yet, Serena just couldn't bring yourself to yell at anyone else. Not even to Sergio. Because that would hurt him. You hated yourself for doing it. Hated yourself for lying to him and manipulating him. Hated yourself for hurting him. Hated yourself for making the decision to break the promises you had made to him. And yet, here you were, standing in front of him, breaking that promise. Here you were, standing in front of him, breaking his trust.Your eyes widened in shock. Was that it? Was that all it took to cause this much damage? Were these the repercussions of letting someone in and allowing them to become so important to you? Just by letting them into your heart, you had allowed them to tear your family apart. Just by opening your heart up to them, you had opened your soul to them and allowed them into your home. They were now living in your home. You had let them stay in your house. You were letting them stay at your side. You had let them see everything abo
