The 100, How I Ended Up On Earth

Chapter 5

Trinity's POV
(One Day Continued)

I entered my room and closed the door, leaning up against it and taking a deep breath. God today has been long.

I threw my bag onto my bed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt from my drawer. I just wanted to go to sleep, I was done done with today.

I got the books and returned them, I kept the bag and blanket and gave Flash the pin. I got lost in the vents but somehow managed to find my way again and than fought and made up with Flash, well I guess if you call that fighting, and than he showed me the way out.

Wow I've done a lot today. And that was all on top of school and doing my homework before I left.

I changed my pants into my sweatpants and was just changing into the t-shirt, pulling it over my head when a knock sounded on the door.

I froze as I was about to pull the hem down. My dad told me it would be a late night tonight, he would be home a little before curfew.

That's how it usually was though, so it didn't surprise me.

Had I been caught? No they would knock on the front door, not the one leading into my room.

So who could it be?

My heart began to beat against the inside of my ribcage and my hands began to shake as I finished pulling the hem of my shirt down. I took a deep breath to calm myself before I called out, "yes who it is?" My voice shook slightly but I hope it wasn't noticeable.

Quickly I picked up the bag and took the blanket out and stuffed it between my mattress and box spring and than quickly slid the bag under the bed.

"It's us."

"Do you really believe that she'll know who us is?"

I rolled my eyes. Of course it was Maxwell and Aaron. I knew from the second Maxwell spoke.

I smiled. "I know who you are. You guys can come in." I crawled up on the bed and sat down criss cross apple sauce. I picked up my pillow and placed it in my lap and held it to my chest.

The door opened and the boys walk in. Both of them smile shyly at me before closing the door behind them. Aaron stood up at the end of my bed while Maxwell sat down.

"You missed diner." Aaron said sternly.

My eyes widened. "Oh gosh I forgot I'm so so sorry. I hope you didn't wait for me!" I exclaimed as I held the pillow tighter.

I'm not even hungry. I haven't been since I ate lunch around noon today. I guess I had more important things to worry about, like not getting caught and actually getting to where I was supposed to be.

Maxwell went to answer, he was sharply cut off by Aaron, who was fuming with rage, his arms crossed over his chest as he cooly spoke to me. "We were."

My head fell. I closed my eyes. "I'm so sorry." I whispered.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it this time." He said sternly. "We were worried sick about where you were! We thought someone killed you or something bad happened or you were arrested by guards."

My head dropped even further. I didn't bother to say anything. He wouldn't accept my apology. I know he cared but sometimes he let his emotions get the best of him.

Maxwell pulled himself up the bed so he was next to me. He pulled me to his chest and I cried into him. I heard the door to my room open. "And the pin is gone. Just thought you should know." The door closed and his stomping feet slowly faded away.

I continued to cry. I let go of the pillow, throwing it to the side as I grabbed and wrapped my arms around Maxwell. He hummed a melody and rubbed circles on my back to help me to attempt to calm myself down.

It wasn't working very well.

"Shh. It's going to be okay." He said quietly as he started to rock us slightly back and forth.

I shook my head. "No it won't. You don't understand. He'll hate me!" I exclaimed through fits of sobbing and trying not to get snot all over his new shirt. It was bad enough tears were now all over it.

"No he doesn't. We may not be able to have siblings, but he sees us as his siblings. You know that. And since he sees you as his sister he feels like he has to protect you." He said quietly.

"But you do to. And you don't yell at me like that." I said weakly.

He nodded as he placed his chin on top of my head. "I know. But I go about it differently. Everyone's different you know?" I nodded.

I knew he was right. He was always right.

"And it doesn't help the pin went missing. He feels awful about it. That was what you were going to use for food and stuff for the rest of this month." I nodded again.

There was only a couple days left this month so I don't see why it mattered so much. Plus my dad usually buy food for both of us so I don't get why it's that big a deal, but to Aaron everything always is.

"He probably just dropped it when we were leaving." I nodded, fanning innocence.

"But don't worry about it, okay? Hell come around. I bet you tomorrow he'll be hunting you down to say sorry."

But he didn't. It took him over a week to cool down. The pin and me not coming to diner must have really gotten under his skin. And even than, he hadn't talked to me and had a full conversation. The most I got was a distant hug, an I'm sorry and than he left.

Luckily my parents weren't working late any other day of the week. I didn't have to remember I was going somewhere else for diner, but that day stuck with me.

I felt awful, so awful.

It was as if someone took the weight of the world and sat on my shoulders to let it crush me.

The guilt was going to make me as flat as a tablet or even a sheet of metal.

I ended up talking to Flash the day after, I told him weekends and any holidays or important dances or events I would end up being dragged to would have to be a day off for us, in other words days for us to not meet up. I needed to be with them, I needed time to be with Clarke too.

But especially the boys. During the week I saw Clarke constantly. We'd do homework and study, gossip and laugh but now, it was going to be as if they were cast aside.

I didn't want that for them.

They were like brothers, and that's how I wanted it to stay.
