Trinity always ended up at the river court now. She had no where else to really go. She couldn't go to the cafe. Since Lucas was gone and for about two weeks now, there was no reason for her to go. And since her mom was staying in town for a while, staying at the apartment above the cafe, she avoided running into her. She never went to Nathan's anymore either. She hated feeling like the odd one out with him and Haley, like she was in the way. The River Court was usually empty now too, it was quiet, peacful, away from it all.

"How come you always show up here?" She was sitting on the picnic table and she turned around to the person speaking to her. It was Ryland. She wasn't that happy to see him, he had been so different and not in a good way.

"I don't know, it's just away from everything," she said shortly, letting him come sit next to her. He even looked different now, wearing stupid brand name overpriced clothes. Decked out in Nike and reebok, he moved over closer to her.

"yah, it's pretty nice here compared to your family," he said, smiling to himself a bit.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked him, hurt.

"I didn't mean that in a bad way Trin, I mean, when my parents were together there was a lot of yelling too," he smiled sweetly. She nodded a bit. She knew he had gone through the same sort of thing with his parents, divorce and then his brother even. They were in the same sort of position.

"Thanks Ry," she said, leaning over to kiss him. He kissed her back, putting his arm around her back. They just sat there for a while, held in each others arms, staring at the lake.

"I better go, my dad is going to want to get to the gym incredibly early for my brothers' game, are you coming?"

"I'll see you there Miss Scott," he said, smiling a michevious little smile.

"Alright then Mr Burton,"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hey dad, yah, you know, if you don't want to go to Nathan's game, I can let you sleep," Trinity said to her father, who was practicly passed out on the couch.

"Oh what? Sorry Trin, we can go now," Dan said, rubbing his eyes and getting up.

"Since when do you fall asleep at like 6 at night anyway?" she asked, making her way out the door, with him following and heading over to his SUV.

"Really, really, really long day," he said and with that, the ride to Tree Hill Highschool was silent. She did not want to get into his life. This was the first game Trinity had went to since Lucas had left, she couldn't have gone to the other games. Every time she saw Tim having replaced his spot on the line up, it seemed almost, wrong. She wanted him back, he was the brother that was there, no matter what, ever. The one she could go to about Dan, and Nathan and life. And now he was gone.

When she got to the gym, she quickly ditched her dad. Actually, he ditched her, heading over to talk to other father's of the basketball players. He didn't belong over there though, since technicly he wasn't a father to Nathan anymore and Lucas was gone, he really had no point to be there. She scoped out the bleachers for her mother, just to avoid her. She didn't seem to be there though. She saw Haley standing on the court, giving Nathan a last kiss before he headed onto the court, and she sighed. She missed Nathan to death too, and he wasn't even gone.

"Hey you," spoke a voice from behind her. She turned around to see Ryland standing there, his hair geled and sun glasses on.

"Hey, uh, nice shades," she said, walking up the bleachers with him.

"Thanks, these things put my mom back,"

"I never knew sunglasses meant so much to you," she said, as they took a seat near the top row. He shrugged a bit, his eyes fixated on the court.Guys plus basketball mean to no talking until the first period is done. That means Trinity had to sit there and watch while Ryland payed more attention to the game.

At the half, the Ravens were up about 10 points and Trinity was bored as hell. Sure, basketball was her favuorite sport and all but usually watching was extremely boring. Even though it was her brother playing, it was boring. She leaned back as the team headed off the court, sighing a bit.

"Ok, this game is boring me, when don't we win?" Ryland said, looking over at her and shrugging.

"I know what you mean," she replied, it was true. The Ravens always won their games, or the tied. They didn't lose very often.

"Shall we walk?" he said, getting up and walking down the bleachers. She followed him down the bleachers and into the hallway, just as the last of the basketball players were going back into their locker room.

"So what do you want to do?" she asked him, as they walked slowly down the hollow hall ways.

"I had one thing in mind..." he said, leaning in to give her a kiss. This lead to an heavy make out session in an empty hallway of Tree Hill High School. Trinity had nothing against this, at all. But she never wanted to go any farther. Not yet.

She couldn't recall exactly what had happened next, all she knew is that Ryland crossed that line. He let his hands roam to far, he wouldn't stop. She was in tears, pushing him away, feeling violated. She ran.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Smith, shut the hell up, if you can't control your childish ways, Leave," Whitey yelled at Tim, who had done something stupid, as usual. Tim got up quickly, darting from the locker room, into the hallway. He saw two people at the other end of the hallway, faintly. He recognized one of them, the guy. He was on the younger team. Tim looked carefully, hearing a small screech coming from the girl. She pushed the guy, he didn't move, she pushed harder, he was off. She ran down the hallway, tears in her eyes. Tim knew who it was, he knew. Nathan's sister...

(yah, a krappy ending, i just wanted to show Tim seeing trinty being well, felt up and more by ryland, sorry for the long wiat, dont hate me, R&R and ideas!)
