(Picture is of Carter)

We were all sitting in the coffee shop drinking hot cocoa.

"So, tell me again where you came from," Grimm said. 

Carter groaned, "Seriously? I've told you, at least, five times." He said. 

"But I don't understand how you could notice that but I couldn't." Grimm said. 

I sat there staring out the window. The thought of that night keeps running through my head. I finally learned to raise my mind blocker and keep it up.

"Hood? You okay?" He asked. 

"Yeah," I fake smiled. "Thanks." I said and turned my attention back to the window. A hand rubbed up and down my thigh. I didn't care to look who it was.

"Only I can call her Hood." Grimm snarled.

"I call her what I want to!" Carter growled back

"You're so annoying." Grimm said. 

"Do you want to hear the story or not?" He asked. 

"Fine." Grimm said and crossed his arms over his chest and slumped down.

" Okay, like I've said five other times. I was wondering through the woods when I heard someone yell. It was a female voice. She sounded mad or upset. Now I know why, because she's with you." He said. 

Grimm rolled his eyes, "Whatever." He mumbled as I held back a laugh.

"Anyway, She was yelling that she could do it. Which she obviously could but you doubted her." He said. 

"Just get to the point!" Grimm yelled. 

"I started walking toward the voices and I could hear everything in my head that she was saying. So I followed that too. After I heard her howl I knew something was wrong. Her howl was filled with despair and sadness. So, I had to help her. I ran as fast as I could but when I got there you two had already taken off so I followed the tracks. When I saw you and her staring in my direction I looked in her eyes. I saw nothing but a depressed little girl trapped inside of a hard exterior. She was scared. So I walked up to her and rubbed my head against hers to reassure her it'll be okay. I know we don't know each other but I felt like I've known her forever. I just had to be close to her." He said. 

I smiled and tried to speak but before I could Grimm butted in.

"Well, you're close now you can leave." Grimm said. 

I kicked him under the table, "Actually, I'd love to get to know you. We could be like best friends!" I said and Grimm glared at me then looked down. He'll get over it

On the way out I held Grimms hand and Carters. I like the idea of having a guy bestfriend.

"Hey Carter, could I talk to Trinity for a second?" Grimm asked. 

"Oh yeah, sure." Carter said then bent down and whispered in my ear, "If he hurts you or if you need me, direct your mind towards me then talk like you're talking to me. Make sure to say my name."He said. I nodded and he walked toward the car.

"Hood, I have to go to the pack house. I'll be home later. But I don't trust this Carter guy so be careful. Okay?"He asked. 

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Don't roll your eyes Hood, I want a direct answer from you or I'll stay here and follow you like a sick puppy." He said. 

"Fine Grimm. Do what you want. I trust him and I know he wont do anything." I pulled my arms back and walked to Carter. His face light up as I got closer.

"So, how'd it go?" He asked. 

"He said he'll be home tonight and he has to go to the pack house for a while. Also, he doesn't trust you." I said. 

He laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "I totally understand." He said. 

I giggled, "Totally." I said. 

We pulled up to my house and stalked inside, "Hey mom, this is Carter. He helped me today." I said. 

"Oh, hi! Sorry I'm busy cooking, but I'll meet you later." She said. 

"Okay!" I yelled from half-way up the stairs. I opened the door to my room and he ran in to jump on my bed.

"You should surprise Grimm. " He said. 

"How?" I  asked and laid next to him looking at the ceiling.

"Well," He got back up and walked over to my dresser. "Change into these." He said and pulled out a pair of sexy underwear and a matching bra out my drawer.

"I've never worn them before though." I said as I took them in my hand.

"Hurry, Hood, I wanna see the outcome." He said. 

I walked into the closet and took everything off and slipped on the lingerie. I opened the closet door and stepped out. Carter's mouth fell wide open.

"Definitely. Wear. That." He said. 

The head flooded to my cheeks and I hugged him, "Thank you Carter! This," I waved my hand over my body, "Wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for you." I said. 

He smiled, "Anytime." He said. 

He dropped me off at the pack house.

"Hood!" He yelled before I walked inside. I turned toward him. "I'll be across the street in the bookstore." He said. I nodded and smiled while mouthing 'Thank you' to him. He drove off when I walked inside.

I slowly walked upstairs and stopped in front of his door. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in.

"You got this." I whispered to myself.

I turned the doorknob and walked inside.

"Grimm, I—" I looked up and saw Grimm on top of some black haired chick.

He turned around and quickly got up and told the girl to get out.

"Okay, It's not—" He began. 

"It's not what Grimm? It's not what it looks like?" I asked. 

He shut his eyes tight, "I'm sorry. I just— I needed something else." He said. 

"Something else? Okay, well maybe I need someone else. I guess since that's what you have." I said. 

"No, Hood! Please, you can't leave me." He said. 

A tear fell down my cheek, "You don't get to tell me what to do anymore." I said. 

He shook his head, "Please Hood. I'm sorry." He said. 

"No!" A loud growl escaped my throat. I was about to jump on him when an armed snaked around my waist and pulled me to their chest.

"Shhh. It's okay." He whispered in my ear and slowly pulled me away.

"Hood!" Grimm yelled but I ignored him.

We sat in the car and he kept handing me tissues listening to the whole story.

"And he was on top of her," I let out a loud sob. "And they were, ya know?" I asked. 

I looked at him and he nodded.

"He told me." I sobbed again. "He told me that it's what he needs." I said as Carter's hand gently rubbed the small of my back.

"It's okay. I'm here." He said. 

I snuggled my face into his chest, "Thank you, Carter." I said. 

He mumbled " You're welcome" and held me closer.

I really hate Grimm right now.
