Chapter Fourteen

It had been over a week since Clay and Gemma allowed her to stay in their home. Trinity was doing well considering her life had been turned upside down less than 2 weeks ago. She did her best to keep her head up even when the ache of losing her only family weighed down on her. Gemma wasn't such a bad mother to her though, she cared and talked to her like she was her own and Trinity couldn't have been happier.

School wasn't as bad anymore, it was still the longest 6 hours of her life but at least when she would go home it wasn't to the hell Ivan put her through. No it was to a loving couple who took her in when nobody else would. The only reason she actually enjoyed school was to be with her few friends she made. Her best buds were Tyler and Hayden. Tyler and Hayden were the only ones to actually talk to her when she transfered into Charming High, the only boys who had courage to at least.

Tyler was the joker of the trio, he knew just how to cheer people up when they needed to and he knew when to be serious. Hayden was more of the quiet one who often spoke but mostly when asked a question. Trinity enjoyed his company, even if he was the quietest boy she ever met. His presence around her calmed her nerves and it was never an awkward moment when it was quiet. It was peace when she had her friends beside her.

"Trinity what is the answer to number 2?"

She inwardly groaned when he spoke. Obviously she wasn't paying any attention to him talk so why bother? He just wanted to embarrass. Always her. Trinity squinted at the board from her seat, her eyes blurred from her mini nap in his class. "Um..." She read the problem on the board and racked her brain to work out the complicated math. "(x+1)(x^2+2)(x^2-3)." The teacher frowned, frustrated that she managed to get the right answer in a matter of seconds.

"That is correct now can anyone..." Trinity drowned him out again, amused that she managed to backfire his plan and made him look like the dumbass for asking her. She glanced at the clock and thanked the heavens that in less than 30 seconds the class would be over and school would be done for the day. Silently she packed her books knowing he didn't appreciate students packing early.

The bell finally rang and Trinity was the first off her seat and out the class.

"Hayden wants to go get something to eat. You in?" Trinity was kneeling on the ground with her bag next to her trying to grab all the stuff she needed to take home when Tyler spoke. She jerked a bit, startled but shook it off laughing lightly at herself for her jumpiness.

"You payin'?" She joked and he cracked a grin.

"Don't I always?" Trinity laughed and stood up with her bag slung over her shoulder. She dusted off her jeans and nodded to Hayden who was heading their way ready to go.

"Hey Hay." He smiled a bit at her. Tyler couldn't help but laugh a bit at how it sounded. "Where we gonna go?"

"Depends on how much money we got." When Hayden spoke it was always quiet but loud enough to be heard. Trinity liked how he sounded, he never yelled at people or talked over them. He was sweet but always ready to burst.

"I got...8 on me." Tyler said as he dug into his pocket, pulling out a $5 bill and 3 singles.

"I got $10." Hayden replied handing Tyler his 2 $5 bills.

Trinity grumbled and dug into her pockets, searching for money, if any, that she might have forgotten about. Not living with her money meant she had barely enough money to get by for an entire week of school. It sucked to have to pay for lunch. Trinity sighed and looked at her friends and shook her head. "Nothing on me."

"I'll pay for you-." Hayden told Trinity but she shook her head at him.

"You've both wasted enough money on me as it is. Its okay, just go on without me. Gotta get home anyway. Got too much shit to do today. See ya." She waved them both off and sped away. Too many people were helping her as it was. She needed to get things settled on her own. Find a job and a place to stay because nothing in the world was going to be given to her anymore.

-o-o-o-o-o-

Trinity took the longest route possible to get to the clubhouse. She didn't want to get there too soon but also didn't want to be faced with so many people so soon. Since Gemma worked at Teller-Morrow, she had to go there after school. Tyler and Hayden were kept in the dark about what happened. Nobody outside the situation knew about anything and she wanted to keep it that way. Even her best friends couldn't know.

She neared the clubhouse and garage, heading towards the office to check in with Gemma to show she was there. She passed Jax and them working, fixing bikes and cars, earning a honest paycheck. It wasn't hard to hear what people knew of SamCro. She had found out somethings while at school, girls talking about the Sons and who they thought was good looking. It was all weird to Trinity. She came from a place where girls talked about boys, not men.

"She doesn't want to see you anymore." It was Gemma's harsh tone that cut Trinity's thinking. Who could she be talking too? Trinity silently walked up to the door unaware of Jax heading her way.

"Yes she does. I'm her mother!" Her blood ran cold and the ache in her chest came back. Her mother was here talking to Gemma about her? But why if she didn't want her apart of her life, would she come back?

"A mother doesn't abandon a child for some man!"

The door suddenly flew open and Trinity came face to face with her teary eyed mother. "Trinity I'm sorry."

Neither Trinity nor Emma expected the words that would come out of the young teen.
