You Never Knew
The entrance was dark, the light from the Juice Bar and the streetlights were the only things that brought light to the shadowed area. The sad Asian sat on the small wall that kept the flowers in the bed against the wall. The tears continue to roll down Trini's face. Tired of wiping them away, she ignored it was even there. A cool breeze past her, as she heard footsteps approach her.
Kimberly stared at Trini's long back hair; even from behind she could tell her best friend was hurting inside. Her thoughts shifted to the kiss. She couldn't help, but smile. That was until she saw a tear roll down Trini's cheek. Her hand immediately went to her mouth, as Tommy took her into his arms, seeing the tears as well. Trini left the Juice Bar as the attention focused on Emily and Jason, and Kimberly glanced at Tommy who nodded his head in agreement before she left to follower Trini. Taking a breath, Kimberly sat beside her best friend on the small wall. She wasn't sure what to say to her; normally it was Trini who helped her with boys. Kimberly put her arm around Trini, as the two sat in silent for a few minutes.
"You know what the scary part is?" Trini's voice nearly whispered.
"What?" questioned Kimberly, as she glanced at Trini whose eyes were focus on the stars.
"It felt so perfect" she weakly smiled, as another tear fell. The kiss replayed on her mind. Her heart was breaking each time, but there was a twinge of happiness inside of her. Her mind raced on why Jason had continued their kiss. He wouldn't dare toy with her, causing her that much pain on purpose. "Why did he do it?"
Kimberly knew exactly what she was talking about. The same question ran through her mind. "I don't know, Trini. I don't know," she quietly answered, as she felt her eyes water for her best friend's pain.
Silence fell, as the two best friends just sat there. Tears continued to fall from Trini's eyes and Kimberly offered all that she could, comfort.
Music blasted in the Juice Bar. Tommy watched his best friend who sat quietly with his girlfriend. Jason seemed deep in thought, and Tommy waited patiently for Emily to leave Jason alone so that he may get the chance to talk to him. Letting out a sigh, the White Ranger scanned the Juice Bar for his girlfriend and her best friend. It had been a little more than half an hour since Jason and Trini kissed. Looking back at Jason, he found the Red Ranger alone.
With a smile, Tommy quickly left his seat to join his best friend, at the bar. "Hey bro," he replied as he took a seat beside Jason.
"Hey," Jason said, as he looked up at Tommy.
"Are you alright? You seem to be deep in thought," commented Tommy as he carefully looked at Jason.
Jason frowned, "No. Um, Tommy there's something I haven't told you."
Tommy frowned, concerned with the way Jason's voice was sounding. "Look, Jase, bro, don't worry about it . . ." Not wanting to put any pressure on Jason, Tommy remained quiet for a few seconds.
"Emily and I are having problems," Jason bluntly blurted as he looked at his best friend.
"What?" snapped Tommy, in disbelief. "I thought the two of you were doing great?"
"Yeah, up till a month ago," replied Jason as he took his drink in his hands.
"Why what happened?" Tommy questioned a bit surprised. He thought the two looked perfect together, well up till he found out that Trini had a crush on his best friend.
"I don't know. I guess it was something that built up. Nothing big, small arguments about pointless things, we stopped talking to one another as much, and we barely even hung out," explained Jason as he thought back on the past month with Emily.
"Wait, a month ago?" asked Tommy, as he looked at Jason.
"Yeah, why?" Jason replied, as he glanced at his best friend in confusion.
"You mean when Trini came back?" stated Tommy as he watched as Jason only turned away. "Is there something else you're not telling me, bro, or is this some kind of coincident?"
Jason let out a small sigh he was hoping Tommy wouldn't have caught on, "When Trini came back Emily realized how much I meant when I said the two of us were best friends. I guess she was jealous at the fact that Trini and I were so much closer than her and I. I didn't want things to end with Emily since things were going so great, so I sort of avoided Trini for the past month."
"You did what?" Tommy hissed, trying to control his anger.
"I know," Jason quickly said as he looked at Tommy. "I didn't say I completely shut down every possible communication between us."
"So what's the problem? I mean if Emily had you all to herself, than . . ." drifted Tommy.
"Like I said, I didn't shut down every possible communication there was between us" shrugged Jason, as Tommy sat there in complete shock. Before the White Ranger could snap, Jason continued. "Saturday night when I confronted Trini, the reason why I was so angry was because Emily and I got into a fight earlier that night. I wanted to go and talk to Trini since she was all alone and Emily exploded and eventually stormed off. I was going to talk about it with Trini, but when I got closer to her she seemed as if something was bothering her. My intentions were to talk to her about what was on her mind, but the thought of Trini not trying as hard to find a significant other like the rest of us popped into my head."
"Jason, man, that doesn't really explain the real reason why you were so angry at Trini," Tommy calmly said, the idea of Jason avoiding Trini was still eating at him. If Kimberly found out he could promise Jason that he would be hurting the next day. "You're my best friend, a fight with your girlfriend cannot be the reason for you to get mad at any one, especially Trini. You out of all people know how to control their anger."
Jason looked at Tommy with a blank face. "Is this why you decided to talk to me today? You've been catching every small detail." Jason had a small grin on his face, but Tommy remained quiet not wanting to get off subject. Letting out another sigh, Jason answered. "When I saw Trini that night after Emily left, the first thing that came to my mind was 'why wasn't Trini my girlfriend?' I was mad at myself for never having enough courage to ask her out and I was even madder at Trini for not having a serious relationship because if she did the thought of the two of us becoming something more would be out of the picture. When she confessed to me her feelings, it hit me so hard I didn't know what to say."
"Wait, you have a crush on Trini?' Tommy slowly asked, making sure he heard Jason clearly. "When did this happen?"
"I don't know. I guess it kind of happened over time. I wasn't sure if it was just strong feelings for a close friend or the real deal, until we were at the Peace Conference," answered Jason, remembering how the Peace Conference had brought the two closer than ever especially when he thought the two couldn't get any closer.
"So why didn't you say anything?" asked Tommy, forgetting the fact that Jason had kept that one secret from him.
"To you or Trini?" Jason questioned, a bit unsure.
"The both of us I guess," shrugged Tommy, figuring he mind as well find out now.
"I guess for the same reason. Trini's my best friend" Jason simply answered, it was a line he was told to never cross and even if he dared to how could he be so sure she felt the same way.
"So what are you going to do now?" Tommy questioned as he looked at his best friend. No matter how simple it sounded for Jason to end things with Emily and tell Trini the truth, it wasn't. He has too big of a heart to just all of sudden end things between Emily.
"I'm not sure. I still care for Emily, I mean if it wasn't for her hateful feelings toward Trini I wouldn't even think about breaking up with her. But I guess things aren't like that besides I still need to talk to Trini," explained Jason, who seemed to have carefully thought things out.
"Well, here's your chance," replied Tommy as he looked past Jason.
Jason turned around to see Trini and Kimberly walking into the Juice Bar. If you didn't know Trini well enough you could see past the fake smile she had on and noticed her eyes slightly puffy from all the tears. Looking back at his best friend, Jason took a deep breath, "Well, here goes."
