(sorry for the oh so long time that i havent updated yet, sorry sorry sorry! dont hate me!!!! lol, R&R!
It was three months after Trey had well, jumped Trinity. He had left the school, doctors and others claiming he needed some sort of help to deal with his anger. Since then, Trinity's life had gone up and down. First, it was good, Trey was gone. Then Darren had to go and cheat on her, making out with some junior in the library. She didn't things would work with him anyway, all he wanted to do was hang out at her house, or go to the river court incase her brothers showed up. Things had gotten better since him though, their basketball team was winning or at least the older guys team and the girls team was. Everything was better, even the staring at school had gone down.

After Trinity had told Nathan all about Trey, he had become way too protective. He asked her is she was okay if she wasn't smiling or if she was tired. It was getting really annoying and she could pinpoint when he was going to say it now. Or before he even asked her or spoke to her she would say shes fine. He seemed kind of annoyed when she did that but satisfied.

"Hey, Trinity," a voice called from down the hallway. She was standing at her locker, struggling to put all of her books from her last class. She turned her head to see Janessa practicly running down the hallway, pushing a few people out of the way.

"Hey Janess, what's up? You seem excited about something" Trinity said, laughing about her friend and the state she was at.

"You know that new kid I told you about like soooo long ago? Well, he's finally here, and wooo, hes a looker,"

"A good looker or the freaky kind you dont want to look at but always do?"

"Definetly good," Janessa said, laughing. They were headed to basketball practice, both of them talking about him, the new kid, Janessa telling all she knew about him already. They walked out of the locker room, all ready for practice moments later. Both of them were wide eyed, the older guys team on the court too.

"What's going on?" Trinity asked out loud, seeing everyong dribbling and taking free throws.

"If you must know little sister, it's a huge joint practice, it was all Whitey's idea though, so don't ask," Lucas said, coming up behind her.

"Hey Luke, but wait, you mean we are all playing together?"

"Seems like it," he said, shrugging and walking over to join his own team mates.

"I do not want to play with them," Trinity said, reffering to her brothers.

Moments later everyone had gathered in the middle of the court, coaches explaining the practice that was about to happen.

"So more or less, we are having one big happy practice," Whitey finished up with, smiling, "Is there anyone who is against this?" Two hands shot up, one being Nathan's and one being Trinity's.

"Oh wow, both Scott hands, what do you know, tell me Nathan, why you are against this lovely joint practice?" Whitey asked, giving Nathan a look.

"It's not that they aren't good but we might be too um..let's just say aggressive for them to handle,"

"Really? What about you Miss Scott?"

"I just didn't want to play with them but now that my loving older brother said that, he can bring it,"

It ended up with two different mixed teams, Trinity, Lucas, Janessa, Jake and another girl being on one team with Nathan, Tim, and a few girls on the other team. It was a fun game to play with Trinity's team leading by a few points when the game ended, it was fun and of course, Trinity knew how fun it would be rubbing it in. After showering, Trinity walked out of the locker room with Janessa, both of them smiling still about the game.

"Whoa, Trinity, the looker at the gym door, look!" janessa said, smiling giddily. Trinity looked over and gasped.

"Oh my god, Ryland!"

"Nathan, what's wrong?" Haley asked him, as they went through his math book in the library. He seemed to be thinking about something else.

"Nothing," he said, snapping out of his thought.

"Well, there must be something wrong because you haven't answered any questions today and you have been thinking off into space or something, it's kinda freaky when you just look off into the distance like that, not blinking or anything-"

"Ok ok, my mind isn't on math, I don't think it ever will be, but anyway, I just can't help thing about what happened to Trinity, I mean what if something happens again, I mean I wasn't even ther for her,"

"Nathan, you can't always be there for her, you have to trust she'll be okay, I mean what happened isn't something that happens everyday,"

"I know I can't always be there for her, but who will be? I don't mean always but most of the time. I mean, living with Dan isn't doing y good when he isnt there in the morning when she gets up to be her dad and when she gets home from school and has supper, he isn't there, it's just not fair on her part,"

"Its not her fault or your fault that your so called father is not a father, I mean, it's his problem,"

"He is definetly not a dad anymore, hes just the one who sleeps at that house too, and why is she getting the raw end of the deal then?"

"I don't know, don't beat yourself up because of him Nate"

"I just want to do something for her..."
