The Story of Us || g.d.

Trinity's POV

"Why did you let her go to a party in this condition!?" Cameron yells.

"It was my idea, okay?" Ally speaks.

"Ally, you're supposed to help her get better!"

"And I thought she needed a party." Ally adds.

"Guys, shut up. She's gonna wake up." Grayson says, quieting everyone down.

I open my eyes and realize Grayson's holding me. "You can put me down." I hold my head as he lays me down on Cameron's bed.

"Trin, are you okay?" Cameron pushes Grayson away and looks down at me.

"I guess, Cameron." I close my eyes and roll onto my side. "I just want to go to sleep."

"Maybe she should see a doctor." Aaron questions.

"I don't want to see any doctor." I reply, my eyes still shut.

"Whatever. We'll talk about this tomorrow. Go home." Cameron dismisses them.

"Bye, Trin." Ally pats my leg and I open my eyes to smile back at her as she leaves with the rest of them.

"Go to sleep." Cameron kisses my forehead and turns the light off.

I wake up the next morning to feel someone lying beside me. I frown and turn so I could see their face.

"Good morning, beautiful." Grayson smirks.

"That's kind of creepy." I raise my eyebrows and walk to the bathroom.

"There's the Trinity I know and love!" He smiles and hugs me from behind as I'm about to shut the door.

"Get off. I'm taking a shower." I squirm in his embrace.

"I'll come with you." He laughs.

"Haha." I squirm more.

"Fine." He kisses my cheek and pulls away. "I'll be here when you're done."

I tilt my head and smirk as I close the door. I get undressed and get in. Once I'm done, I wrap a towel around myself and one around my hair. I exit the bathroom and see Grayson is laying down on the bed, watching TV. I kneel down beside the bag that Ally made for me and rummage through for an outfit to wear. I settle on a gray and yellow Pink sweatshirt and a pair of leggings. When I'm done getting dressed back in the bathroom, I stare at myself in the mirror again.

I've got bags under my eyes and stress marks on my forehead. My cheek is still slightly bruised and my eyes are bloodshot. My leggings barely fit, almost falling down. Even my sweatshirt looks bigger than it used to be. It's so weird how everything can change so fast. I'm not sure when and if I'll ever get over this. All I know is that I should be happy I have my friends and family around me right now.

"You okay?" Grayson leans against the doorway and raises his eyebrows.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I switch off the light and walk past him.

"You're looking awfully skinny, Trin." He shrugs awkwardly.

"Are you calling me ugly?" I frown. Maybe I'm being too sensitive; it's just that I don't know what to think of myself anymore.

"No no no. Gosh, you're beautiful." Grayson pulls me into a tight hug, allowing me to relax in his grasp.

"Excuse me." Cameron clears his throat from the doorway. Grayson backs away from me and scratches the back of his head. "Jesus, Trinity. You look terrible."

"Thanks. I love you too." I sigh and sit down on the bed.

"I didn't mean it like that. Ally's here." He smiles apologetically at me.

"Okay." I walk down the stairs and see her sitting on the couch. "Did you bring your makeup?"

Ally turned around and smirked when she held up her purse. "I thought you'd never ask."

"Good. Fix me." I pat my face and laugh.

"Girl, we need to get you new clothes. Do you still have the money your dad gave you?"

"Maybe Cameron has it?" I shrug and follow her back upstairs.

"She's hurting, Cam!" I hear Grayson yell so I stop and hold my hand out for Ally to listen.

"I know. That's why she's staying with me from now on. I'm turning the computer room into her room. It was meant as a second bedroom anyways." Cameron huffs.

"But she can stay with us. She has been for a few days anyways." Grayson yells again.

"Listen, I'm not saying she can't visit you. I'm saying that I will not let her stay with 4 teenage boys." Cameron protests.

"You're not her dad. She can do what she wants." Grayson fires back.

"I'm not her dad. Her dad is fucking working because he's trying not to break down. I'm her brother, her fucking half brother. I can take care of her. Now, I'd like for you to go." Cameron calmly states.

"Fine." Grayson snaps.

"Shit." I pull Ally into the room with me and give them a warm smile.

"I'm taking off. Maybe I'll see ya later." Grayson pecks my cheek and storms off. I give Cameron a look and he shrugs before pulling out his phone to call someone.

"It's intense." Ally mutters, following me into the bathroom and taking out her makeup.

"I know." I sigh and wait for her to finish her magic.

"Where are you going?" Cameron walks in when Ally is almost done.

"Shopping. Do you have the money Dad gave me?" I glance at him from the corner of my eye.

"Stay still." Ally rolls her eyes.

"Yeah. I'll get it." He strides out and Ally turns me.

"Perfect. Let's go." She puts her stuff away and walks out. I follow and grab my phone off the charger.

"Here." Cameron gives me an envelope and sighs. "I've got this movie premiere tonight and want you to come. I don't trust some people." He stops and stares at Ally before continuing. "I just want to know you'll be okay."

I frown and furrow my brows. I had no idea Cam was in a movie. Matter of fact, I don't know about anything he's been doing lately. 

"You're in a movie?" I finally answer.

"He's been in 2 now, Trin." Ally looks up at me.

"Oh." I mutter and shake my head. "Of course I'll go, Cam. What's the dress?"

"You know, dress to impress. Nash and Hayes should be there. I don't know about the twins. I know Aaron is coming." Cam adds.

"Hayes Grier!" Ally squeals.

"Shush." I place my hand on her face. "I don't really care for them except Aaron but okay."

"That's because you only watch Londonians." Ally rolls her eyes.

"That's not a word, Al." I raise my eyebrows.

"Fine. People from Great Britain or whatever."

"Okay. Just be back here at 4." Cameron hugs me and winks at Ally before we both walk out.

Hopefully I'm ready to meet the real world.
