(Picture is of Isaiah)

He runs up to me and hugs me, "What are you doing here?!" He asked. 

"Well,  I was just— It was." I tried to talk but I was unable. 

Grimm wraps his arms around my waist, "She's here with me." He said. 

"Oh, Okay. Well Matt, take care of her." I looked in his eyes as they filled with sadness.

"I plan to." He said. 

Isaiah walked away and I was left alone with Grimm. I turn toward him, "What was that for?" I asked. 

"I'm not going to stand around and watch guys flirt with you." He said. 

I turned back around and muttered "I'm sure you'll get used to it. " before walking away.

I can hear his heavy footsteps behind me as I walk around admiring the house then they stop. I look around but he's nowhere to be found. This is my time. I ran until I found myself outside. I kept walking farther and I met the woods. The woods was never a good place for me, I was always afraid of them. But something made me keep walking.

I heard a voice in my head and it kept asking where I was, a voice that sounded like Grimm's. In my head, I thought about blocking it out but it kept going.

'Hood where the fuck are you?!' He asked. 

'Uh,  Walking?' I replied. 

'Yeah, right. Get back here now.' He demanded. 

'Come find me.' I teased. 

I finally got the blocking him out thing right and I kept walking.

I look down at the ground watching my feet as I walk. Not a good idea considering I ran into someone. I fell on my butt and the guy laughed.

"Sorry." I muttered . As I looked up I saw Isaiah standing there smiling at me. He put out his hand and lifted me up.

I dusted myself off and looked around me.

"You okay?" He asked. 

I nod, "Yeah, just wasn't looking." I said. 

"It's okay. I didn't mean to be in front of you." He joked. 

"It's not your fault, I guess." I giggled. 

We both laughed awkwardly.

The thing about Isaiah is, he's my ex. Isaiah and I were together for 3 years and the reason we broke up is because he said he found another girl and they belonged together. I didn't date anyone after that, unless you count that thing with Tyler. But I don't count it.

"So, Trinity. How's life?" He scratched the back of his neck.

"Fine." I answered. 

"Good, good." He said. 

"Yeah.." I died off. 

I opened my thoughts to Grimm and thought of him helping me.

'On the way.' He answered quickly. 

I smiled.

"What's so funny?" He asked me. 

"Nothing, just thinking." I said. 

"Oh, I go to the lake to think."

"Is that where you were?" I asked. 

He nods.

"Can I see?" I asked him. 

"Sure!" He takes my hand and starts leading the way.

We walk up a long trail and I'm surprised Grimm hasn't showed up yet.

'Hurry up Grimm!' I demanded. "I'm stalling, here." 

'Almost there!' He said

Isaiah stopped and I ran into his back and stumbled backward until he caught me.

"Watch out Trinity, you might fall." He said panicked. 

He held my body close to his. I tried to pull away but he held my arms to my side.

 "Isaiah, please stop." I said. 

He grabbed my throat tightened and his grip, "I was hoping you'd come looking for me, I'd been wanting to do this for a while."

Did I say he broke up with me? I meant I tragically broke his heart in front of the whole school because, and I quote, "I don't feel anything when I'm with you." The whole school laughed at him saying he couldn't please a girl.

"Isaiah." I tried to take a breath. "Stop." It came out raspy and I sounded like a dying whale. Trust me, It was ugly.

He laughed, "Why? I thought you couldn't feel anything? Do you feel something now Trinity?! " He said heartlessly. 

My vision started going blurry and everything was starting to sound distant. But I heard him, I heard his voice over everything.

"Put her down." He growled.

I was then dropped to the ground and the last thing I saw was Grimm attack Isaiah and then everything went black.


I woke up and I instantly heard crying and then talking.

"She isn't dead, she can't be!" She yelled. 

"He was choking her, she had no air in her lungs. I'm sorry Mrs. Hood." She sobbed harder and I could smell him next to me. I could sense Grimm.

"Mom" I pushed out the word with all I had.

She looked up and her eyes were puffy and red. Her nose looked like a mini tomato.

"My baby!" She ran over and hugged me from the bed. "I knew she wasn't dead! I just knew it!" She said.

"Dead?" I asked. 

"Yes, Hunny. We'll talk about it when you start feeling better. Grimm go grab a nurse." She said. 

"Okay." I said. "Wait Grimm." I grabbed his wrist and pulled him down to me and kissed him.

"I missed you." I say pulling away.

"I missed you too." He gives my hand a reassuring squeeze and walks out the door. He walks in a couple minutes later with a blonde lady next to him. Must be the nurse.

"Hello Trinity, I'm going to do some check- ups to make sure you're A- okay."

"Okay." I said dully.

"Not in a good mood are we?" She asked. 

"Wake up in the hospital bed with a pounding headache and tell me you're happy. Especially with your mother crying next to you." I said. 

She raises her eyebrow, "Okay. Well, lets get started." She said. 

She looked in my eyes, my ears, my throat and she asked me questions about what happened and about myself.

"Your results look good. So, you're free to go. Just take these daily for about a week or whenever your head starts feeling better." She said. 

We got all my stuff and signed the papers then left.

On the way home mom was asking me if I liked Grimm or if I loved him. If I wanted to marry him and stuff like that. I really didn't know what I wanted yet. I just want to learn about what I am and then worry about mates.

But honestly, I don't think I could go a night without Grimm. Which is why he's staying with me to help me feel better.

After I took my pill Grimm and I decided to watch random movies until we got tired.

"Grimm?" I asked.

"Hm?" He said. 

"What'd you do to Isaiah?" I asked. 

His body stiffened, "We'll talk about it tomorrow." He said. 

I nodded and closed my eyes, whatever he did must not be good.
