Trina's POV

I know I shouldn't have been eavesdropping on Mai's conversation with Kiki but no one in our family has been particularly good at minding our business. Hearing her talk about the day our family broke hits me to my core. I have my own feelings that always need to be sorted but I can see it in my sister's eyes when she sees me. Sometimes she looks at me and it's almost like I can see her fear that I might disappear.

Looking into her eyes should be hard but it doesn't. She has dad's face but she has mom's eyes. It makes things a little easier mama's eyes always were a comfort for me. I found my hope in those eyes.

It is what kind of connected Cam and I. We are kindred in a way his dad died before he ever got to know him and so did my biological dad. But I had my dad and I was his best girl and the apple of mama's eye. When my birth mother had her problems her brother stepped up and took me in. I've never been treated like a niece or a cousin only a daughter and a sister. I'm the baby and the undisputed favorite of mama and daddy. My sisters' love is like a balm from the hurt of my birth mother exploiting my father's death and lying to grandpa and taking me.

"Earth to Trina!" I start blinking fast and its Joss looking at me… I feel Cameron's hand on my wrist… we started to do that with each other when the other needed support.

"What were you saying Joss?"

"You haven't been listening?! I was talking about what our summer plans should be… Oscar is down for anything and I am guessing Cam will be too… What do you wanna do while school's out…"

"It's quite some time until summer and Cam will be in summer school and has soccer…"

"What?! Why do you need to go to summer school? You have to hang out with us…"

"The us will be minus me…" I had already told Cam but I knew Joss would freak… sometimes I hate being right.

"Trina you can't be serious?!"

"I am completely serious I'll be at home…"

"Trina, I'm sure you don't have to be at home all the time come on?" I realize Joss thinks I mean my apartment in PC.

"Joss she means her actual home… She's going to be with her mom in Guadalajara…" Cameron speaks before I have the chance.

"And how do you know this?" I hope Joss isn't turning this into a situation of why she didn't know first…

"Because I asked her if she was going to come to any of the summer games and she said no. I pestered her until she told me…" Cameron's thumb rubs my wrist.

"Oh that sucks…"

"Not for me I miss my mother more than anything. I love my sister but there's no substitute for my mom. The last time she was here it wasn't long enough before she had to go see my other sister in New York City which reminds me I won't be here this weekend…"

"What we were going to the movies?" I'll have to take a rain check yikes

"My grandfather is going to be in NYC for the weekend and has requested to have dinner with all his granddaughters so my sister and I are going to visit our other sister."

"Well I'm going to miss you Trina… You're the best…" Sometimes Joss can be annoying but she can also be the friend who tells you what you need to hear the most.

"I second that… We can go to the movies next week too." Cameron says this knowing that he has soccer practice and to babysit his brothers so he gets to use me leaving as a way to get out of this without the third degree from Joss.

"You guys are right… my sister Kristina is coming home for the weekend and its been so long since she's been here. I miss her and I think I should make some time for that…"

"See now we both get to have time with our sisters who we don't get too see often." I do miss my sister so much. Even though she lives in New York it's not the same… Port Charles is upstate and NYC is in the south of the state.

"You're right…" I her a chime and I look to see it's my phone but it's Joss's. "… Ugh I have to go I forgot I have to watch my sister. I'm glad I put an alarm to warn me."

"See you Joss…" I hug my friend goodbye and Cameron does the same.

"You don't even know how much you saved me. Your news is so much bigger that mine get to fly under the radar."

"Cam you are being silly. You should just say I have responsibilities and soccer is one of them. I'm sure Joss would understand if you just said so… and you didn't even know about me going to Mexico until I told you. What would have happened if I wasn't going home?" This boy tries to avoid confrontation but it festers and then he gets confronted and then he blows up.

"I don't know I would have thought of something you know…"

"Or you could have just told the truth… Cam sometimes I worry for you…"

"Thank you for the concern Catarina Robinson…"

"Excuse you it's Catarina Maria Inez Robinson Rodriguez..." I'm being so silly for putting in my confirmation name.

"Oh excuse me…" Sometimes it's these moments where my heart catches but Cameron is just my friend.

"You want to go to the hospital?"

"Meh… I don't know I could take a rideshare home. I don't want to wait forever for my sister to be finished."

"I was literally just going to wait for my mom to be finished and then ride with her home. My brothers are at therapy with… Franco…" Cam says this with such a distaste and I understand why he's apprehensive because of Franco's history but that's Kiki dad and she swears he's a whole different person…"

"Well if you want you can come over and we can do our homework… my sister and Kiki usually get home by the time I finished…"

"Oh Kiki…" He sounds so weird… We just keep walking to the curb so we can view the cars coming by.

"What's wrong with Kiki?!" I might have to take offense on her behalf if Cam talks out the side of his neck.

"Nothing I guess… It's just she is Franco's biggest cheerleader…"

"Why would you expect her to be different? He's her dad and she trusts him. He's also paying for her schooling too…"

"It's just kinda awkward because I have made my objections really loud to my mom and I feel like the odd one out because Jake and Aiden like him."

"Cameron if I ask you a question do you promise not to get mad at me?" I have to be gentle because he can have a temper sometimes.

"I can never be mad at you…" I just smile at him and this is the few times where I can't read him…

"Is this really about Franco's past or yours?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't want to sound insensitive but your father died before you were born and you remember Lucky enough to be hurt by him leaving and the broken promises of people who promised to do right by your mom and you guys." He looks like he wants scream but I hold his wrist and he calms down.

"I don't know… it does rile me up when kids make fun of me because of him. He hasn't left and I guess that should count for something but he could still do that…"

"I think it scares you because you know he isn't going to leave and you don't know how to trust that kind of permanence. It's hard to trust that because you've been let down so many times. I think you should be honest to your mother, Franco but most importantly yourself " As I tell Cam this is when my uber comes… I guess him getting in means that he's coming over.

"Why do you have to be right like all the time?"

"It's just a part of my charm. But I'm serious… will you at least think about it?"

"Fine I'll think about it…" I'm glad Cam is listening to me because his intense hatred of Franco isn't really good for him. I don't want Cam to have this explosive anger he doesn't make good decisions when he's like this.

It doesn't take us long to get to my building I realize Cameron really is following me because he hasn't been here before. I text Mai letting her know that Cameron is with me and he will need a ride home.

"Welcome to my home…"

"It's nice! Maybe we should have went to Kelly's and gotten a snack I'm starving…"

"Nonsense my sister was going to make tacos. I'm sure I can make you some. They don't take a long time. My sister left the shrimp marinating. Question is do you want Taco Al Pastor or Taco Arabes?"

"I honestly don't know the difference so surprise me!" I roll my eyes at Cam but thinking about it Chiptole is probably the most closest thing Cam has ever had to Mexican cuisine.

"Well they are made with different spices and they are served on different types of bread. In Spanish pan arab literally means Arab bread aka Pita and Al pastor is usually served on corn tortillas. But since I hate corn tortillas my mom banned them from our home. So we use store bought flour tortillas because my sister is lazy so she buys flour tortillas instead of making them that's why the tacos are nothing compared to my mom's." I wash my hands and start to get everything I need to make the tacos and tell Cam to just sit at the kitchen island. I'm kind of hungry too.

We just talk about what happened to us at school today and Cam's soccer friends are a damn mess pranking poor Mrs. Jenkins. The lady is like 100 years old she could have had a heart attack…

I decide to make one arabe and one al pastor for both of us so Cam can try both.

I hear the door opening but we still keep eating and Cam seems to enjoy the tacos. I don't hear anyone with my sister so I guess Kiki isn't here.

"Hi you two… looks like you guys are eating good…" I roll my eyes at Mai humble bragging to herself.

"More like eating mediocre but it's a meal…" It is so fun to diss my sister. Nothing really gets under her skin but it's fun to try.

"This is the best mediocre I have ever tasted Ms. Maite." This boy just literally ruined my diss…

"Thank you Cam… I'm glad someone appreciates it." My sister puts her stuff down and goes through her phone…

"Mai when are you going to take Cam home?" I don't want him to get into any trouble.

"How about when you two finish your tacos?" Cam just shrugs at my sister's question and I guess that means yes.

"I guess we should start getting your stuff ready then." It didn't take us long to finish our food. I hope Cam really figures out his situation with Franco because his mom looks hella serious about Franco…

The ride to Cameron's house consists of me breaking down to my sister what Cam's teammates did and her reactions. Cameron keeps making the mention that he had nothing to do with it but I'm like you knew about it and said nothing!

When we get there I give Cam a hug goodbye and then get in the front seat and ask my sister about her day. We trade stories and I just think to myself how lucky I am to be with her again.
