Note from the Author: Thanks for the reviews you guys! Keep 'em coming!

Ryan and Marrisa walked in the door of the Cohen house, obviously in some kind of conversation. Probably about this strange girl wanted to talk about Trey. They made their way into the kitchen and saw Trinity putting a shit on. Ryan put a hand over his view of her.

"sorry I didn't know you were changing"

Marissa looked over and saw Seth not too far from Trinity, She made the assumption that They had been fooling around, suddenly she filled up with a little rage at the thought of Seth doing something like that to Summer.

"Seth, please tell me that she just-"

He interrupted her. "Spilled something on her other shirt? Yes, Yes I can tell you that"

Marissa slumped a little in embarrassment but also in relief. Trinity walked up to both Ryan and Marissa and extended her hand, as Ryan shook her hand she introduced herself and a slight memory of this girl came back to Ryan. She did hang out with Trey a lot back when Ryan was still living there.

"yeah Trin I remember you, I didn't know you and Trey had still been seeing each other after I left. I'm really sorry you had to find out from Theresa I should have called you myself..."

Trinity was a little confused but then remembered her cover for coming to Orange County. She let her expression fall a little, just to push the illusion a little more. Trinity actually had been dating Trey but she knew how he was, he cheated on her, he lied to her, and he was caught up in illegal activity. Some Boyfriend, she thought. She was a little sad at his passing but honestly, he had hit her a few too many times to be deeply mourned by her.

"Yeah.. I know that you would have been the one to tell me if you knew. I'm really sorry for your loss too Ryan, I know that you guys were in some kind of argument but it's just really horrible that you two couldn't work it out before he was shot"

Trinity couldn't help but glare at Marissa, even though Trinity probably would have done the same thing she was a little disgusted at the fact that this frail girl took a life. Despite all of the abuse from Trey, Trinity did love him, or at least she thought she did. Marissa noticed the glare and then sunk even further down in her shame.

"..I'm really sorry too, maybe this is a good time to explain what was going on that night"

Trinity didn't really want to talk about Trey's death She had more important things to talk about. So she gave Marissa a bit of an appreciative smile.

"Maybe I should just talk with Ryan about it, I know that it was you who shot him and I just think that maybe to avoid the chance of me reacting badly at you, you shouldn't be there for the details"

Marissa knew that what she was asking was fair so she backed off.

"Ok.."

Ryan smiled at Marissa and then looked over to Trinity.

"Well we should talk about it somewhere Private, We'll go to the pool house"

Trinity nodded and followed Ryan out the back door. She couldn't help but notice the perfectly kept pool and lawn. It made her a little sad at her own situation. She lived in a small one bedroom apartment in down town Chino that sat one floor above a bar. It was just so peaceful here. Maybe she would end up living here when she met the rich doctor of her dreams. 'hah' she thought. It would never happen. Once they got to the pool house he opened the door for her and pulled up a chair for her to sit on, he sat directly across from her. He was still in shock over the situation.

"I really don't know where to start Trin.. I mean it's been hard on everyone..."

"Then maybe we should just catch up a little first, just to break the ice here, you know?"

He thought it was a good idea, and she told him to start off first.

"Well I'm sure that Theresa has told you the story about how I ended up here in the first place?"

She shook her head.

"Theresa has told me a lot of things actually Ryan, I think it was really impressive that you moved back to Chino when, well... You know"

"Yeah.. I know"

Ryan looked a little sad and a little ashamed when he said that, he didn't want to get too deep into that conversation because he wasn't exactly a pro at expressing his feelings. However Trinity could sense a little bit of sadness in his voice as the words passed through his lips. She knew instantly that I small part of him was really disappointed at the fact that Theresa had 'gotten an abortion'. Now was the time for her to come out with the truth, disregarding Marissa completely.

"hey listen there's something that you should really know..."

"yeah?"

She tried to conjure up the words but nothing seemed to come out. Suddenly there was a knock on the pool house door. The door was made of glass so Trinity could clearly see that Marissa was the one knocking. She opened the door and brought in a telephone.

"It's for you Trinity, it's Theresa"

Trinity excused herself and walked into the kitchen of the Cohen house hoping to get some privacy.

She sighed and said hello.

"Trinity this is my last plea, he has a good life There, I lied to protect him and things are fine at home, we have all the help we need, and I swear to you, later down the line I WILL tell him. Just not now..."

"I know why you lied, and you know what you caught me just before I was about to tell him, I tried to come up with the words but they just wouldn't come out Theresa, I don't really think there's any good way to tell someone that their ex-girlfriend lied about having an abortion and that they really have a son somewhere in Chino"

Suddenly Seth walked out from the living room, he heard everything. There was such a look of shock on Trinity's face, it was almost undescribable.

"Theresa I have to go"

She hung up the phone.
