(here is chapter 4! hope you like it! oh and thanks a bunch for all the reviews! !!!)

Trinity walked down the sidewalk, dribbling her basketball roughly. Tears were streaming down her face as she walked, unaware of where she was going. She kept walking and decided to go the the River Court. The river court was like a court away from court which was different from her school court but she still loved it there. The asphault at her feet and the crisp air always coming off the lake. She changed her direction now she was on her way there. She crossed a dead road now, not noticing the car coming down the road. She kept dribbling, the hood of her jacket up. The car slowed down as she passed, waiting until she was on the sidewalk safely, it was Lucas, on his way to the cafe.

Trinity got to the river court quickly after that, sitting on the picnic table, letting her basketball roll onto the court. The tears were falling, less now, but still falling. She sighed and looked out onto the river. It was a total get away, like all your feelings drownd but you stayed surface. Lucas walked onto the court, his hands in his pockets, looking over at his sister's back. He quietly picked up the ball and went for a shot, swishing, making a sound. Trinity turned around, seeing Luke she smiled through her tears. She walked onto the court and hugged him for a long time. She needed it. She couldn't even remember the last time she got a hug from Nathan let alone her dad. It was a better way to finish her almost best day of her life.

"I just don't understand him Luke, I mean, I am his daughter but he totally ignores me.... I hate it there!" she said after explained about her father to Lucas.

"It's ok Trinity, I have no way to change him, I thought over the years he would change but nothing seems different," he said, rubbing ehr back and shaking his head.

"You know? When he did pay attention to me it was when I was just starting basketball. I didn't even like basketball then but I noticed how he loved Nathan because of basketball so I did the same... I like basketball now though, it's grown on me..." she said sighing, the tears gone. Lucas smiled at her but nodded, understanding it.

"I don't want to cry over him any more Luke, it's a waste of my time!" she said, shaking her head now. Lucas dried away her remaining tears, "And you don't have to Trin, never again! You have to get over him, he is not much of a father to anyone anymore..." She stood up and grabbed her basketball, thinking to herself. If I make this shot, she thought, my life will be better, with a dad or without. She went for the shot and sunk it after it rolled around the rim and she smiled. She picked it up and went over to Lucas.

"I was headed over to the cafe before I saw you coming here... Let's go, chocolate milk on me!" Lucas said, trying hard to cheer up his sister. She looked up at him and he put his arm over her, and suddenly he felt like her real brother.

They sat in the back booth in the cafe, joined by Haley who was still on her shift but the cafe was dead. They all had chocolate milk, laughing and talking. It felt so normal to Trinity but it was getting late. 10:10 to be exact. Trinity said she better get home and Lucas offered to drive her home and she took the ride. When she got home, her dad was in bed and her brother and Tim were watching a game on the big screen in the living room. She walked through there, silently, hoping Nathan wouldn't try and talk to her and she wasn't sucessful. Nathan saw his sister walk in, and she seemed remotely happier but still not the best. She made her way to the kitchen to get some water when he followed her in.

"Trinity, can we talk?" he said gazing into his sister's eyes with slight worry. She grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and started out of the kitchen, near the stairs.

"Yes, Nathan we can talk, but not right now!" she answered her starting her way to her bedroom but he stopped her.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to talk to you when Tim is 10 feet away listening!" she said glaring at Tim who looked up at her then to Nathan.

"Nathan, what about the game man?" he said pleadingly to his friend.

"Later man, there is another game on tomorrow!" Nathan said turning back to his sister.

"Hey Tim! Yah, why don't you just hang out at your own house?" Trinity said to him, smiling. Tim didn't move, he just looked over at Nathan and turned back to the game.

"Nathan, I'll talk to you later, I can tell you are preoccupied!" she said, her brother's head turned to the tv. She rolled her eyes and went up to her room, leaving her brother alone at the stairs.

The next morning, Trinity woke up early and her breakfast before the rest of her family. As she finished, Nathan came in and he tried to talk to her again but she retreated seeing her father come into the kitchen, too. She ran upstairs and got her rollerblades, her bag and she left for school. On her way out, she glanced back at her brother who looked at her with worry still in his eyes. She looked back at him with a sense of courage in her eyes then she glared at her father and rolled her eyes.

School never went by quicker for Trinity. She had no homework but she did have a practice. Nathan said he would pick her up after practice, too so she was looking forward to it. Practice went by well too. The team got a lot of praise from their coach for playing so well yesterday and they played a game of basketball against their guys team for the practice. After practice, after everyone had showered and cleaned up they went outside to find rain pouring down. Trinity pushed her rollerblades into her bag and sat down on the cement steps that surround her school. She saw all of her team mates parents show up except for one. Then a red sports car showed up and her friend got in, not before saying, "You need a ride Trinity?" but Trinity shook her head, saying someone was coming for her but thanking her anyway. Her friend just shrugged and drove off with her parent. It was about half an hour after practice and Nathan still was no where in site. He wasn't answering his phone and no one was answering the phone at the house. Trinity sighed, pulling on her rollerblades and heading home in the pouring rain, all she had on were her shorts and her hoodie so by the time she did get home she was drenched.

She walked through the house, up the stairs past her brother's room but she stopped there.

"NATHAN!!!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, an evil glare in her eyes. Suddenly his brothers door opened, and he came out in his shorts and Trinity noticed lip stick on his face.

"Trinty, what wrong?" he thought for a second, remembering telling her about picking her up., "Oh shit!" He went to hug her saying he was sorry but Trinity pulled away just glaring at him.

Suddenly another head came out of his bedroom, Peyton's head. She looked at Trinity then to Nathan, "What's up?" she said innocently.

"Wow Nath, this is a new low for you, ditching me to make out with some girl! " Trinity said, anger rising in her head, "I hate you too!"
