(alright, thanks for all the reviews so far, R&R this chap too! yaaY! anyway, enjoy!)
Dan was pacing in the kitchen of the house, his daughter still not home. This time he had checked before he locked the house, her room was empty and so was the rest of the house. It was about 10:30 and she had left her cellphone at home so he had no idea where she was. She had left no note at all and when he got home at six he wasn't too worried about her. But now, in the heat of the night he had no idea where she was, and he was really worried. He had to call someone, but no one close to her came to mind, no one except his son. He didn't want to call him though but he had no other choice.
"Hello?" answered Nathan, seeing the beach house on the caller ID, "Trinity?"
"No, this is um, your dad," Dan said, rushed and worried.
"What do you want?" Nathan spat, not wanting to talk to him.
"Is Trinity there? She hasn't come home yet and I thought maybe she was with you," Dan said, with more worry in his voice.
"Um, no she isn't here, and shes not at home? I could try Luke or that guy she was hanging out with,"
"Please do and let me know what you find out," Dan said, hanging up the phone. Nathan gave a worried sigh and tried to think of the name of the guy she was with today.
"Dam it," he said, not remembering it.
"Whats wrong Nate?" Haley asked from the couch where she was sitting.
"Trinity hasn't come home yet, she doesn't have her cell and I can't remember the name of that guy she was with today," he said, worried.
"His name is Darren Mahon," Haley said simply.
"How did you know that?" Nathan asked, grabbing the phone book.
"I tutor him, don't worry," Haley said, hearing Nathan find the number.
"Hello?" spoke a voice from the other end.
"Is this Darren?" Nathan asked, quickly.
"I'm him, can I help you?"
"This is Nathan Scott, Trinity's older brother, you were with her today, where did you go after the movies?"
"Um, she stayed at the cafe to talk to her other brother I think, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, thanks, bye," Nathan said, sighing again.
"Why did you say it's nothing? That is her boyfriend, he might be worried," Haley said, defending her tutoree.
"Let's not get into this boyfriend thing right now Hales, I have a sister to find," Nathan said, giving her a sympathetic look.
"Try Luke then? He might know, she might even be at his place,"
"I will, and I really hope shes there..." Nathan trailed off, dialing the number.
"Hello?" asked a surprised Lucas, seeing Nathan on the ID, "nathan?"
"Hey Luke, Trinity isn't there is she?" he asked, hoping she was.
"No why?" Lucas replied in a slightly worried way.
"Dan called and said she wasn't at home yet so I tried that guy Darren she was with and he said she was at the cafe earlier, do you know where she went?" Nathan asked, wanting him to say yes.
"Shit, this is bad," Lucas said, sighing, "No I don't, we were talking and then Brooke called so I took the call and when I turned around again she was gone, probably because of the phone call,"
"No idea at all where she went?"
"No, aw shit, this is all my fault,"
"No, it isn't man, and don't worry, we'll find her," he said, then said goodbye and if they heard anything about her they would call.
"Nothing huh?" Haley asked, looking kind of worried.
"No, and now I have to call Dannie boy, great,"
&
"Oh my god, are you okay?" Peyton said, running over to her. Trinity didn't reply, she just let her tears fall freely.
"Alright, I guess that's a no- wait, aren't you Lucas and Nathan's sister?" Peyton asked, recognizing the face. Trinity slowly nodded, hating to be reffered that way but this was no time to argue.
"Ok, let's get you inside, I'll call a brother," she said, helping her up, Trinity walking slowly because of her sore ribs. He punched hard, that was one thing she wouldn't forget. They walked into the dark house, Peyton flipping on some lights in the living room and helping her to sit down, then she went and grabbed a towel to help stop the bleeding in her arm, and some ice for her face. She took a seat on the couch beside her, worried, so she called Lucas.
"Hello?" answered a worried sounding Lucas.
"Hey Luke, it's Peyton, um.. I don't really know how to say this-" Lucas cut her off.
"Peyton, I can't talk now, I'm trying to find Trinity,"
"Lucas wait, your sister is here, sitting beside me, I think she got jumped in front of my house,"
"oh my god, is she okay?"
"I don't know, shes not talking, it looks bad though,"
"Ok, I'm going to call Nathan then I'll come get you guys, alright?"
"Yah, bye," she said, hanging up the phone. She looked over at Trinity, who seemed to be in pain, still crying.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay, Lucas is coming," Peyton said, trying her best to comfort her. Trinity just kept crying, her face hurting too much to reply, but she did nod.
"Okay," Peyton said, getting up and grabbing her coat. They sat their silently, the only sound coming from Trinity, who was still crying. After what seemed like forever, Lucas showed up, shocked at the sight of his sister. As she walked to him at the door, he walked over to her instead, hugging her. She tried her best to hug back with the towel on her hand, and her sore ribs, but she felt better already at the sight of him.
He helped her out to his car, and started driving with Peyton in the passangers side and Trinity in the back. He and Nathan had decided that they should take her to the Emergency ward of the hospital and Nathan said he would meet them there. Lucas seemed to be having the worst night, first Brooke had called to say she couldn't get together with him tonight, his little sister got jumped and as they drove he seemed to be hitting every red light.
"What the hell is this? Screw over Lucas Scott night or what?" he said angrily, stopping at his fourth red light in a row.
"Luke, the important thing right now is getting your sister to the hospital okay? Not deciding if its Screw You Over day," Peyton said, laughing a bit at his outburst. Lucas smiled at her, and then drove all the way to the hospital, not hitting anymore red lights. Nathan and Haley were sitting in the waiting room in the Emerg when Nathan finally decided to call Dan and let him know what had happened. And of course he didn't take it too well, but he said he'd be there soon.
Nathan was pacing, wondering about his sister. He never ever wanted to see her hurt or in pain and it was his job as a brother to make sure it didn't happen, he felt it was his fault. Haley was sitting in one of the chairs, flipping through a magazine, having tried her best to make Nathan feel better but she gave up after he started blaming himself. The minute Lucas' car pulled into the parking lot he rushed out, and Haley headed over to the nurses station to let a nurse know that the person they said was coming was there.
"Trinity," he called out running to the car, and opening the door to the backseat. He almost felt like crying at the sight of his sister but she looked a bit relieved to see him.
"Nath," she said quietly, as he helped her out, pulling her into a hug.
"Are you okay?" he asked her, as they walked in Trinity being supported by his arm. She shook her head at him, feeling more hot tears coming. Lucas smiled at bit at them, at least she was talking a bit now. He walked in behind them with Peyton.
"Thanks Peyton," he said as they walked, his hands in his pocket.
"What do you mean thanks?" she replied to him, crossing her arms for warmth.
"Just because, and some people might not have cared for a stranger," he said, holding the door open for her.
"Shes not a stranger, she's my friends' sister," she said with a smile and he smiled back watching her take a seat with Haley. There weren't many people in the emergency, just the nurses and someone sitting across the room who was coughing a lot. Lucas walked over to the nurses stations, where Nathan was with Trinity talking to the nurse. He joined them and heard the nurse say they would take her to a room with one other person. So Nathan went, leaving Lucas to go back and sit with Haley and Peyton.
"So did she say what happened?" Haley asked them both as Lucas sat down.
"She didn't say anything at all until she saw Nathan," Lucas said, shrugging.
"She has a swollen cheek, and she was clutching her stomach so something could be wrong with her ribs and her wrist was slit," Peyton said, and that was all she knew.
"That's pretty bad, including her wrist because she could be in a lot of trouble if the cut was deep enough to hit major veins," Haley said knowingly.
"Thanks for looking on the bright side Hales," Lucas said, laughing a bit but he was still worried about her. Whoever did that to her was going to pay, Lucas knew it, Nathan knew it and even Trinity knew it, they were going to pay.
&
"She will be fine, but that cut on her wrist is pretty bad and her ribs may be sprained but she will be fine, you might want to try and talk to her about what happened, someone close because after situations like this people tend to close up and stop talking for a bit," the doctor said to Nathan and now Dan, who both nodded and thanked him.
"I'll talk to her," Nathan said, giving his dad a knowing look.
"Alright, it'll be better than me," Dan said, going over to the waiting room. Nathan walked into her room and smiled a bit at her. She gave him a weird look.
"How are you doing? Still in pain?" he asked her taking a seat beside her.
"Not really, thank god for inventing painkillers," she said joking a bit. He laughed and took a good look at her. All the blood on her hands were gone and the swelling on her cheek had reduced and she had a bandage wrapped around her rib area.
"The doctor said you are going to live but your ribs might be spained," he explained wit her nodding along.
"What about this?" she said, motioning to her bandaged up wrist.
"That will be fine too from what the doctor says," he said, with her nodding.
"Can I maybe ask you what happened Trin, the doctor needs to know but you don't have to tell him, you can tell me or someone else if you want," he said, watching her face fade a bit.
"No, I'll tell you," she said, pausing for a bit, "After I left the cafe, I went to the river court and sat there for a while but now I look back and I really wish I hadn't stayed so long. I left when it was getting dark and started walking home, and when I got infront of this house that had pushes, I think it was Peyton, the blonde?" she asked him and he nodded, motioning for her to continue, "right, it was Peyton's house, and I walked passed them slowly, then I turned around because I heard something and these two guys were coming at me so I turned around again to face another guy who grabbed me," She stopped there, the whole thing playing back in her head, she felt her tears coming back.
"It's okay, you're fine Trinity, I'm here," he said, holding onto her good hand. She blinked back her tears again and breathed in.
"and whoever grabbed me clamped his hand over my mouth, and the one who seemed to be leading the group came up close to me and he punched me in the stomach and it hurt. It hurt so much I collapsed and then he stepped over me and pulled out his knife," she said, stopping again and motioning to her wrist, "so I screamed and one of them socked me in the face, then they ran, leaving me there," Nathan gave her a sympathetic look but he was hurting inside. He can't believe what had happened to his little sister, his kid sister, he almost felt his own tears coming.
"Do you know who it was? What they looked like?" he asked her, looking her in the eyes. She remembered the faces of Trey and his basketball buddies and then she remembered the last thing he had said, and how scared she still was.
"No idea..."
alright, thats all for now, R&R!!! thanks for reading and any ideas? send them with your review! thanks!!
