"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Zane? Where have you been? Something terrible's happened." The feminine voice of my mother told me.

"Never mind that. What happened?" I questioned.

"Your father got in a car accident. He's in the hospital right now."

"Is he going to be alright?"

"The doctors think so, but only time will tell. When are you coming home?" She asked.

"I... I.. I'm not coming home. I can't." I refused.

"Why? You can always come home, you know. What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. Nothing."

"So then why can't you come home?"

"I just can't."

"Tell me why!" She demanded.

I hung up on her. I couldn't take it. I wasn't about to sit there and let her rant at me about poor life choices and how I was a terrible son and everything that I'd done wrong. That was the reason why I'd decided not to come back. That, and Serena. Our new life together.

Serena looked over at me.

"What was that about?" she asked me.

"My dad got in a car accident. He's in the hospital." I told her.

"I'm so sorry. Is he ok?" She hugged me.

"I don't know. My mom wants me to come home. " I admitted.

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"I don't wanna go home. I wanna stay here. With you, like this, forever and ever."

"Me too." She told me.

We just sat there silently for a while. A few people walked by and looked over at us, sitting on the lawn.

I stood up and took Serena's hand. I pulled her up to her feet. We walked around with no peticular destination. It was quite some time before either of us said anything.

"So....are you going to be alright?" She asked sweetly. 

"Who said I wasn't?" I replied defensevely.

"Whoa, no need to be snappy," Serena replied as she pulled her hand away.

"When did you turn into a bitch?" I yelled at her, quickly regretting my words.

She stopped and looked at me, furious. She slapped me and stormed off.

Serena's Point of View:

___________________

I briskly walked away from him. I was pissed. How dare he call me a bitch?

I'm overeacting. I just need some alone time.

I sat down underneath a large tree and rested my head gently on my knees.

Take deep breaths, thats it.
