(here is my next chapter! enjoy!)
Trinity sat on her bed Tuesday after school, ignoring the pleas of Nathan trying to talk to her. Her dad and him were both in the living room watching T.V. so she decided to go outside and play basketball. She was playing around the world with ehr self, taking various shots in a circle motion around the hoop and she was on her last shot when Tim waltzed up the driveway with some other basketball players on Nathan's team. Trinity sighed and kept playing, ignoring them and ignoring the fact Jake Jegelski was there, the cute one. She ignored the fact Tim was heading her way and she ignored the fact he started talking to her.
"Trinity, go get your brother!" he said to her, snatching the basketball.
"No, hes in the living room, just go get him yourself," she snapped back at him, trying to grab her ball back but not being sucessful.
"Go get him and you can have your ball back," Tim said the others laughing. Trinity glared back at them and then back to Tim.
"No, now give me my ball!" she said back to him, jumping for the ball.
"Tim, man, just give her the ball, she said Nathan's inside," spoke up Jake, reasoning with Tim who didn't stop.
"Just go get your brother and I'll stop," Tim said again, twirling the ball on his fingers and then he started playing pass with the others, Jake being the only one not doing it.
"Give me my basketball, now!" she said again, jumping between the guys, raising her voice more. They didn't stop so she went and kicked Tim in the shin, hard.
"Oh shit, that hurt..." he stopped in his tracks, glaring over at Trinity, "You little, you did not just kick me!"
She smiled, "Oh yes I did," She tried to grab her basketball again but Tim decided to be dumb and he threw it onto the neighbours deck. She looked up at him and went to kick him again but he pushed her down, making her fall. She got a major cut down her leg from it too, dark blood falling down her leg. She tried standing up, but couldn't since her leg hurt. Tim backed off, laughing as Jake swept passed him, helping her up. She muttered thanks and ran into the house as best she could.
As Trinity came into the house, Nathan saw blood on her leg and ran to her aid. He helped her sit down, wiping the cut with a towel, her father watching from the distance. She cringed as he washed the cut, putting a couple band aids over it. He looked up at her and she was smiling so he smiled back.
"Thanks Nath," she said, looking down at her leg, which was now clean.
"No problem, what happened anyway?" he said, helping her up. That's when Tim, Jake and the other basketball guys came into the house, thanks to Dan. Trinity glared over at Tim then back at Nathan.
"He pushed me," she said to Nathan who looked up at Tim in confusion. She then explained the whole thing to him, Jake and the others nodding along. Nathan looked back at Tim after helping his sister to the couch.
"What the hell man?" he said, getting close to him.
"Hey, watch it, she edged me on and it was an accident!" Tim said defending himself and he looked back at the others who just looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Tim, if I were you, I would get out of this house really fast, really really fast!" spoke up Dan, stepping in front of his daughter. Trinity looked at her dad in confusion but let it be. Tim looked from Nathan to Dan and rolled his eyes and left. The other guys left too, saying they would wait for Nathan in the driveway and Jake said he'd go get Trinity's basketball. She smiled at him as he left, caught out in the moment.
"I never did like Tim anyway," spoke her father to Nathan, who just shook his head.
"I didn't think he would ever do that to anyone, ever!" he replied looking over at Trinity, who just shrugged.
"I never liked him, too so yah, and I'm okay, really!" she said to Nathan who sighed and headed outside with his friends.Her father asked her of she was okay, just to do his job as a dad and she said yes and flipped on MTV as he headed to his office. Sometimes she didn't understand her family, at one point they were acting as if she was invisible but now she was all taken care of. She just didn't get it. She didn't know why her father had decided to defend her, it was like he was another person. He went from being ignored by his daughter to being ignored by her but still caring for her. It was confusing. And Nathan went from trying to talk to her to not talking to her but defending her. It's not like she didn't want her brother to defend her or her father to care for her but the men in this house were like chameleons, always changing!!!
Later that night, Trinity was sitting back in her bed leaning against the wall which was the wall on Nathan's room too. She could hear him there, hearing pages flip probably doing his homework. She rolled over and caught a glance at her calender. Her birthday was tomorrow and she knew Nathan had forgot. Lucas said he had something planned though so it wouldn't be too bad. She didn't want to remind him either, that would just make him more upset. It was 11 o'clock now and Trinity couldn't sleep. She got up and slipped into her slippers, quietly opening the door. She looked down the stairs slightly, her dad was asleep on the couch, again. She shook her head and knocked on her brother's door.
Nathan looked up from his Chemistry book and mumbled 'Come in' to the person at the door. The door opened slowly and Nathan saw his sister there, dressed in red pj pants and on oversized Laker's jersey with Scott written on the back with number 26. He remembered when he got one of those jerseys too, but his was in the back of his closet, never been worn. His sister looked tired and was slighly limping, her blue eyes sullen surrounded with those tired eye bags and her hair was down, framing her face. He smiled seeing her hair down, which was rare instead of her messy bun. Trinity walked across the room, and sat beside her brother on the bed, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Wanna talk now?" she said lighly, looking up at him. Nathan glanced over at his homework pile then at his sister and he sighed.
"Sure," he said putting his arm around her. This brought back memorys for them, for both of them. This always used to happen, every night when their parents would fight, Trinity would sneak into Nathan's room, falling asleep beside him. She smiled thinking about it as they talk. They talked about everything; dad, basketball, Tim, school, and even Lucas.
"You know Nath, he is a really nice guy, no matter what you and dad think!" she said strongly, looking over to her brother once again.
"All right Trin, I get that but if dad ever sees me with him I am like dead and If he sees you with him he will probably go after him!" he replied, giving her a last hug, "And I don't want you to get in trouble, so don't be his shadow..okay?"
"Yah," she said giving her brother a hug and retreating back to her room. She flopped onto the bed and fell asleep, knowing most things with Nathan were okay.
