Title: The Promise, Chapter 2
Trini pushed open the door of the auditorium as she quickly walked off. 'I can't believe he said that. How can he say that when he didn't bother to call me these past months.' Thought Trini as she found herself at the bridge once more.
"Trini." Yelled a voice off in the distance.
Trini turned her body so she wouldn't have to face him; she knew she wouldn't be able to out run him in the sandals she wore.
"Trini. Why did you run away?" asked Jason as he approached Trini.
Trini's face continued to face in the other direction.
"Trini, talk to Me." replied Jason as he took a step in front of her and grabbed her shoulders so that she would face him. "What did I do?" asked Jason as Trini continue to avoid his eyes.
"Jason what do you want me to say?" cried out Trini as tears slowly began to fall down her face.
"Why did you run out on me?" Jason calmly asked realizing he had made her cry. "What did I do?" he repeated once more in a whisper.
"Jason, its not what you did its what you said." Replied Trini, as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I missed you?" questioned Jason as he slowly let go of Trini's shoulders. "I don't get it Trini." Replied Jason after a few seconds.
"Jason if you missed me why didn't you talk to me these past months." Cried out Trini as she pushed away one of Jason's hand that still held her shoulder.
Jason stood there shocked and quiet now knowing what to say.
"Jason, you haven't called me for the past few months, you stopped visiting, you stopped emailing it was like you didn't even care. I didn't even know if you were going to be here tonight." Replied Trini as more tears began down her face. "Trini ." began Jason as he tried to touch Trini.
"Don't Jason." Replied Trini as she stepped away.
"Ok. Ok. Trini I'm sorry." Replied Jason as he stood there watching her.
"Why'd did you stop talking to me Jase?" Trini asked as she looked into his eyes.
"It's not that I wanted to." Said Jason as his eyes looked up into the sky.
"But its not like you tried not to." Replied Trini as she looked more sternly into his eyes.
"Trini, a lot of things happened." Sighed Jason as his gaze now focused on Trini.
"Like what Jason? What could have possibly made it so impossible for you to call me up for even a minute." Asked Trini as she looked at Jason with frustration. She sighed as she walked away to a near by bench, taking a seat.
"Trini, its just that ." Jason began as he took a seat next to her.
Trini looked into Jason's eyes as she raised her eyebrow waiting for him to speak.
"Things got harder I guess, I got busy." Replied Jason after a few seconds of Trini's stare.
"Jason Scott Lee, that's the best thing you can give me?" exclaimed Trini as she raised her hands in the air. "Lie to me, give me something Jason! Don't give me it got harder and it got busy." She replied as glared into his eyes.
"Jason it got harder for me too, you don't think it was easy for me to contact you the times I did? Even just talking to you was hard, I missed you." she asked as she turned away in frustration.
"Trini its just that ." Jason began once more, trying to speak.
"What Jason what?" asked Trini as the emotions ran through her.
"Things with Emily . she didn't like it that we talked." Jason finally blurted out.
"What?" asked Trini as she looked at Jason.
"She was uncomfortable that we were close. So ." sighed Jason as he started into Trini's eyes.
"What? You mean it was because of Emily you stopped talking to me?" asked Trini as she stared into Jason's eyes for the first time that evening.
Jason nodded his head as if he was defeated as if his powers were stripped away from him once more.
"How could you?" cried out Trini as she stood up to walk away.
"Trini wait." Jason cried out as he stood up after her, grabbing her shoulders once again.
"No, Jason. Don't." yelled Trini as she pushed his hands away. She glared into his eyes as tears began to roll down her face once again.
"Trini ." whispered Jason as he let his hands fall to his side.
"Don't Jason. You can't tell me you stopped being there because of Emily. You can't walk back into my life and tell me that you walked away because of her. You don't understand how many times I wondered why you stopped trying to talk to me. I thought our friendship meant more than that. I thought I did." Trini screamed as the tears began to fall faster down her face.
Trini turned away, and Jason's hand fell on her shoulder once more. "Trini, don't do this, don't walk away." Jason replied she could see the water in his eyes.
"Why Jase? You did this to me . you walked away." Whispered Trini as she slowly turned away.
Trini walked down the path that led to her dormitory knowing that Jason wouldn't follow her this time. She wiped the tears from her eyes but it seemed to keep falling until she reached her room.
Trini opened the door to her room and fell on top of the bed as she hugged a pillow and began to cry.
'How can he say that to me, after years of our friendships everything that we shared, that he would let all of slip away for Emily, his girlfriend. He had always promised to her he wouldn't let their friendship die because of anything.' She thought as continued to let the tears fall from her eyes.
After what seemed like hours of crying she stood up from her bed and walked to her bathroom room to wash her face. Trini stood in front of the mirror; it had been only several hours ago she stood there smiling, as she got ready. And now she stood there her eyes red and puffy no longer smiling at herself. She pulled out the chopsticks that held her hair, letting her long black hair fall back to its normal place.
Trini looked at herself in the mirror once more. 'I've cried too much tonight.' She silently thought as she looked at her watch. She hadn't realized that it was almost 2 o'clock.
Trini touched her forehead as she shook her head slightly. She no longer wanted to think of what happened this past evening, and decided to go to sleep.
***
Trini woke up the next day with a slight headache. She groaned as she turned to lie on her left side. The sunlight shined on her face causing her to open her eyes. 'What time is it?' she thought as she slowly lifted herself so she could sit up.
Looking at the clock once she sat on her bed, Trini realized it was 12:30 pm. "I slept longer then I thought." She mumbled as she dragged herself out of bed to brush her teeth.
Trini grabbed herself a towel from her closet after deciding to take a long shower after the evening she had.
Trini stood in her shower as she washed her hair replaying the evening in her mind.
"Things with Emily . she didn't like it that we talked." "She was uncomfortable that we were close. "
"Trini, don't do this, don't walk away." "Why Jase? You did this to me . you walked away."
Trini opened her eyes and realized she had been tearing wiping them away she washed her face once more with the running water and turned off the shower. Pulling the towels from where it hung she placed one around herself and wrapped one around her hair.
After putting lotion on, Trini pulled out sweats and a sleeveless top to wear. She didn't feel like leaving her room today, and decided she would catch up on some reading instead.
Picking up a book she had lying on her table Trini found her way to her bed and began to read. She sighed as she turned a page, after what seemed to be 10 minutes she couldn't seem to concentrate. Placing the book down next to her nightstand, she closed her eyes.
A sound of knocking had then interrupted the young Asian's break. Opening her almond shaped eyes Trini looked at her clock. 2:35. She slowly got off her bed and walked towards the door. Taking a deep breath Trini hoped that she wouldn't find Jason on the other side of the door.
Opening the door she found herself staring into a pair of brown eyes. "Zack." Trini whispered relieved to find her friend standing in front of her.
"Hey." Replied Zack's sweet voice. "Mind if I come it?" he asked as he peered into the room behind her.
"Sure." Said Trini as she slowly backed away from the door to allow Zack it.
"I heard what happened." Zack spoke softly as he sat upon Trini's bed.
Trini sighed as she sat next to her friend. "hmm, I'm not surprised I guess." Trini simply said staring off the wall in front of her.
Zack nodded his head as if in agreement but his eyes like hers stared into the wall past Trini.
"He's sorry you know?" replied Zack, zoning back to reality.
"I don't understand. If he were sorry why'd he do it? Trini asked her eyes looked at Zack, as if she was in pain.
"I don't Trini, I guess we make mistakes." Answered Zack in the best he could, he hadn't see her eyes so puffy.
"I don't know what came over me Zack. I couldn't help it." Trini said her hands slightly began to shake as she began to let out the emotion she was able to hold in since she had wakened.
"I know Trini." Whispered Zack as he rubbed her shoulders, he hadn't known what else to say, it was rare to see her so sad.
"How could he Zack? Am I selfish to be mad at him for not talking to me these past months because he of Emily?" cried out Trini as her eyes began to water.
Zack sat there in silence, meditating on her words. "No . your not selfish your just hurt Trini." He responded after a few seconds, placing his arm around Trini.
"It hurts, I really did feel hurt. I don't hate him Zack..." Trini began to say, but her tears caught up to her and she could no longer speak.
"I know Trini. I know. You just need time." Zack said as he continued to comfort Trini.
"I just feel stupid. I thought I meant more to him that he wouldn't have throw our relationship away so easily. I guess that's what gets me the most is that he would of, that he was actually letting it. It wasn't the stopping of the telephone calls and everything it was the fact like he was giving up on our relationship, on me" Trini whispered, as the tears continued to fall from her eyes.
"Your not stupid. You're not wrong; I guess he really made a mistake. Your right." Replied Zack.
"I don't know if I can go back." Trini said, as she slightly turned her head away.
"What? We're supposed to be back there in 2 weeks." Asked Zack, surprised to hear Trini's turn of events.
"I just don't know if I can be around him. I feel vulnerable Zack." Trini answered, as her tears began to slowly stop.
"You got to go back, your friends and family are there. Kim's there." Zack pleaded, looking into Trini's eyes now.
"I don't know if I can." Trini began.
"Trini, we're leaving. You don't need to see Jason, and you'll deal with him. You can't run away from him forever. Besides, he knows to give you time before he redeems himself." Zack replied cutting her off.
Trini nodded silently. She realized that although it hurt, she would have to go back, even if it meant facing Jason again.
"Besides, I know you don't want to lose Jason completely." Added Zack.
Trini sat there not responding as she thought of Zack's words. 'He was right. Even though it hurt her a lot what Jason did. She knew she couldn't lose him completely. She just couldn't trust him anymore. She knew deep down inside she hoped that Jason would try to redeem himself, she hoped deep down she would allow him to and that she would learn to trust him once again.' Trini thought, staring off into a picture frame of her and her friends. Jason sat there next to Trini with his arm around her, and they sat next to each smiling.
"Thanks Zack." Trini finally said, as she stopped thinking.
"Your Welcome." Replied Zack as he squeezed Trini.
"Will you be there if it gets hard when I see him?" she asked as Zack still held her in an embrace.
"You know I will." Zack whispered, closing his eyes, how he hate seeing her so hurt and scared.
"Thanks Zack." Trini whispered squeezing him back.
"Just know I wont get to be there when he does try to actually talk to you. You know that right. He's really sorry." Replied Zack.
Trini didn't respond she just closed her eyes. She knew Jason was sorry she just didn't know how sorry he was. She wasn't sure if he cared still, it seemed like for the past months he didn't. But she knew in the end he was sorry, and it was possible that that he does care.
