Hunter slowly released her and turned to John and Trish who were staring at him awaiting his next move. He looked down at his watch, then looked at them.

"It's 11:23, we should go to bed. Cause believe me when I say it's gonna be a long day tomorrow." With that hunter walked upstairs leaving the three alone to get back in focus. Trish was the first to move as she rushed to Trina's side.

"Are you okay?" She asked running a hand through her long caramel hair. Trina nodded silently.

"Yeah." she answered wrapping her arms around her small form. "Just a little shaky."

"You sure?" John spoke up as he stood next to trish, she nodded and wiped away some of her tears. He gently rubbed her arm. "Hunter's right, we should get some sleep and clear our heads."

"Yeah, come on T." The three quietly walked upstairs, as they reached the top John paused and stared down the end of the hall where a lonely door stood. The two women turned to him.

"I thinks it's best if you two don't go near that door, ok?" Trina and Trish nodded knowing the reason for his statement. Trina walked towards the second door on one side of the hallway, her room. "Are you positive your gonna be alright?" He asked one final time.

"I think so." She said without glancing back at him, she walked inside the room and closed the door. John and Trish walked into the room across from her.

It was 2:15 when trina awoke to a creaking sound, she turned to her window to hear the wind pounding against the glass. There was no way she could sleep in here, just knowing that her brother was laying dead in his room a few feet down scared the hell out of her.

Trina rose from her bed and slipped on a small white tee to cover her bare chest, after rubbing the sleep from her face she got up and opened the door, stepping out of her room. She looked down the hall towards Shelton's room. Her first thought was to forget what she had planned and try to go back to sleep, but her instincts told her to walk towards it...why? She didn't know.

So she walked, very slowly towards the door. She had heard what john said earlier, but she didn't care, it was her brother. The last time she saw him he had a black blanket over his body as Hunter and John carried him upstairs. She felt she should at least see his face one last time before they "dumped" his body tomorrow.

"I shouldn't be doing this." Trina thought as she found herself in front of the vanilla colored door. Just as her hand touched the door knob, she heard a creaking noise come from inside the room and she jumped back, as she did she felt herself hit something hard. She quickly turned around to see John standing in front of her in some basketball shorts and nothing else.

"Trina what are you doing up?" He asked somewhat in a fatherly tone. His voice was so quiet she was surprised she heard him.

"Some noise woke me up and I couldn't sleep." She whispered back. "And I wanted to see shelton one last time."

John sighed as he looked behind him to make sure neither trish or especially hunter was behind him. He looked at her and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I understand why you want to. Look, Hunter told me not to do this, but I think you deserve to see him."

Trina looked back at the door, she was a little hesitant considering the noise she heard from inside, but she couldn't let her fears get the best of her.

"You want me to come in with you?" He asked noticing the fear on her face, she turned back to him and nodded. John walked in front of her and opened the door, he stepped inside and trina followed.

It was then that she saw him, or his body. He was wrapped around the blanket, his body laying across the bed, thankfully the thud from earlier was caused by his wrestling trophy which laid in pieces on the floor. Silently trina walked up to the bed, she could feel her breathing increasing by the second as she touch the blanket, from the doorway john held his breath as she pulled the cover away revealing his face. Trina was glad that the bullet wasn't anywhere on his face, she let her hand caress his cheek, he felt cold yet soft. With her index finger she traced around his lips, his nose, the corner of his eyes, he looked as if he was sleeping. She leaned down and kissed him on the cheek before covering his face back up and turning to walk away.

"Come on Tri." John said wrapping an arm around her waist. "You can sleep in the bed with Trish in our room."

"What about you?"

"I'm gonna sleep on the couch in there."

"I don't want you to half to sleep on the couch."

"Listen Tri, I'm not gonna have you sleeping by yourself tonight. Matter a fact, for the whole time we're here, you gonna sleep wit us."

"But..."

"No but's." He replied as he walked into his current room where trish was fast asleep. "Besides, I rather I keep an eye on you two than Hunter, now go to sleep, if you need anything I'll be right across from you."

"Fine." Trina said, she walked over to the bed and got in, careful not to wake her friend. Meanwhile john was getting comfortable on the couch. "Goodnight John and thank you."

"No problem baby, night." Silence followed afterwards. Before she went to sleep trina wondered why john had chose to call her "baby", maybe it was just a habit. Trina got comfortable under the covers and feel asleep dreaming about her brother.

Sorry to the Shelton fans, but he was just the first person to pop into my head.
