'The moon looks so bright tonight' Serena thought as she sat next to the window in her room.

It was like any other night. She stared out of the window for hours, hoping, waiting to hear the familiar ring of her cell phone. But like all the other nights, it never came.

She sighed and decided to give up and go to bed before she regretted waking up in the morning although it was a Saturday. Right when she was about to switch off the light, she saw the guitar Darien bought her for her last birthday. She stared at it as a flood of memories invaded her mind.

"Surprise!" Serena covered her mouth with her hand as tears of joy welled up in her eyes. Darien engulfed her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday love." He whispered in her ear. She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifted her off the ground and spun her around, planting a small, sweet kiss on her lips.

"Alright Romeo, move aside!" Raye laughed as she shoved Darien. He pouted but moved, winking at Serena as each of her friends hugged her, making her giggle.

Almost immediately they headed straight for the cake, laughing and eating together as the cake began to disappear. Darien pulled Serena aside as they finished eating, Serena sending him a curious look as he pulled her outside and away from the party.

"Why are we leaving the party?" She pouted playfully. He chuckled and pulled her to him, wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her golden head.

"It'll only be for a little bit. Promise." He whispered. She nodded and continued to walk with him. Finally, they got to his car.

"Okay, close your eyes." He commanded. She pouted but obliged, hearing his footsteps as he walked around the car and the popping open of his trunk. She let him pull her closer, trusting him.

"Okay, open them." He said, his arms wrapped around her waist and his chin rested on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and gasped.

In his trunk sat a beautiful guitar. A rich brown color and it looked to be carved of wood. Slowly, she picked it up, taking her time to admire the smoothness and beauty of the structure. She plucked a cord, hearing the sound echo in the silent night. She smiled.

"It's so beautiful." She whispered.

"Do you like it?" He asked. She turned to him, a wide smile on her face and her eyes shining.

"I love it." She stated before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.

She learned to play when she was younger. Now it was sort of a hobby for her, since she didn't have as much free time as she used to. She looked at the clock and decided she could say up for another hour or so. She picked up her guitar and sat on her bed, next to the window. The moonlight shone on the guitar, making the beauty of the design stand out more. She lightly fingered the strings, humming a tune as it came to her mind. Grabbing her notebook and a pen, she let inspiration come to her full force. Every once in a while she would stop writing, strum the guitar for a while, then go right back to writing. Seconds became minutes, minutes became hours, and she had yet to stop.

Finally, when the stars and moon were at their brightest and her eyes began to droop from exhaustion, she was finished. Her eyebrows rose as she realized she took up two whole pages. She looked away from the notebook and back up to the moon, where it seemed to be smiling at her. She thought of Darien just like she did every other night since he's been gone. She turned to the notebook and began to sing and strum her guitar as tears poured down her cheeks. She let out all her feelings and frustration and she hoped, someway, somehow, Darien could hear her.

'I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back

My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
At night when stars light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon

Oh

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
Cause when the sun goes down
Someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back
Ohhh

At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon

Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...)
Oh ohh oh Ohhh
'Cause every night I'm talking to the moon

Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

Ohoooo....

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away'

'I don't want to cry anymore...' She thought as she put away her notebook and guitar. She switched off the light, wiped away her tears, and settled herself comfortably under the covers of her bed.

'I love you Darien' was her last thought before she drifted off to sleep.

What she didn't know was the one person she wanted to see did hear her and was with her. He was crying. He wanted to ease her pain, although he physically couldn't.

'Don't worry Sere, I'm with you'
He kissed her forehead, his tears falling into her hair and disappearing as if they were pixels.

Serena's eyes snapped open and she sat up in bed, but no one was there.
