Life With Trent Harmon

Part 17: Crazy Day/another goodbye Part 1

You climb in Trent's car and watch the scene on the porch play out through the car window. Trent bends down and hugs Katie and As he pulls away from her, you can tell she is trying not to cry and you hear her say "bye Trent. Have fun. Can't wait to come watch you win American Idol." He kisses her forehead and then fist bumps Kyle, who then walks up and hugs Trent. You see a smile cross his face, and then Trent pulls back from the hug and whispers something to Kyle, and he nods. Next, Trent hugs your mom and shakes your dad's hand and then walks over to the driver's side. Before he climbs in, Katie comes running over and wraps her arms around his waist and sobs "I love.. Love you so much Trent."  He hugs her back and says "I love you too, Katie lu! I'll be back before you know it"
She steps out of the hug and wipes the tears off her face and smiles at him. He climbs in the car as she walks inside, and when he backs out of your driveway, he doesn't say a word. When he turns right at the end of your driveway, you look at him.
"Is it okay if we take a long way today?" He says as he glances over at you and you see the tears in his eyes.
You take his hand and slide your fingers between his and kiss his hand. "Absolutely."
You ride in silence for a few minutes and then you say "same rules as last time you left for LA? No talkin about goodbye?"
He looks over at you and smiles softly and says "thank you..."
You lean over and kiss his cheek as he turns into his drive way.
"What're we doin today?" You ask and he smiles at you.
He parks the car without answering and then comes around and opens your door. You turn to get out and he steps closer to you and smiles
"Today, we are gonna do whatever you wanna do..."
You feel a smile cross your face before you can stop it, and you say "whatever I want?" And raise your eye brows.
"Within reason, silly." He laughs and puts his hand on your cheek. He stays that way for a minute, just looking into your eyes until you lean in and put your lips on his. You pull away from the kiss quickly, and look at him. A small smile slides across your face as you see a look cross his and he wraps his other arm around your waist and pulls you closer to him.
You balance on the edge of your seat as he touches his lips to yours again. Me moves his other hand from your cheek to your neck and then slides it down your arm and then slides his fingers between yours, as the kiss grows. You put your fingers in his hair and scoot closer to him, but scoot too far and slide off the seat and down to the ground.
Before Trent even moves, you bust out laughing. He looks down at you, with his mouth hanging open and your laughter keeps growing. He starts laughing and steps back to look at you, and then just stands there and tries to control his laughter so he can help you up.
"I told you we can't be doin stuff like that!!" He laughs. This causes another round of laughter as Ashley and clay come walking out of the house. Clay sees you on the ground and looks worried. You try to move to a more comfortable position and suddenly get a sharp pain in your ankle. You stay still and continue to laugh until Ashley walks over and rolls her eyes and says "how did you fall out of the car and land like that??"
You try to hold in a laugh as you look up at Trent and then look down to hide the color in your cheeks.
Trent and clay snicker and Ashley says "uhhh okay."
Then, Trent bends down to help you up. As he takes your hands and starts to pull you up, the pain in your ankle starts to grow and shoot firey pain up your leg. You bite your tongue and try to stifle the scream in the back of your throat, but as he gets you to your feet, you feel your ankle pop, and you fall backwards into the car and grab your lower leg and the scream escapes you.
Trent looks at you, terrified, and then looks down at your ankle. He steps forward and closes the gap between y'all and then uses his arm to support you. Clay notices your ankle and supports your other side.
"Uh we need to get you inside.." Trent says as you feel his hands trembling.
You try to manage a laugh, but it falls short. You try to take a step but as soon as you put the tiniest bit of pressure on your foot, you let out another scream.
Mrs. Cindy comes rushing out of the house and sees the guys helping you. She walks up to you and bends down to look at your ankle. She unties your tennis shoe and slides it off. Every slight movement sends fire through your ankle and up your leg.
"Uh Trent, I think we need to take her to the ER.. It's already purple and swollen." He leans you agains clay and then looks down at it. A look of panic crosses his face and he looks at you.
You try to force a smile but he says "I'm so sorry."
You shake your head and say "it wasn't your fault I'm unbalanced". He smirks at you and then helps you back over to the car and then helps you inside, sliding into the back next to you, and hands his mom his keys. She starts up the car and Trent moves your leg up to lay on his and you see your ankle for the first time. It is the size of a softball and still swelling. It is a brownish purple and everytime it moves you want to scream. You see Trent looking at you and he says "I am so sorry baby." And leans over and wipes the tears off of your face. You whisper "it's not your fault. I was just as much at fault... If not more..." You give him a weak smile and wink at him. He smiles and then Mrs. Cindy says "how'd you do that (y/n)?!" You look at Trent panicked and then say "uh.. I"
"I was helping her out of the car" Trent interrupts you "and she slid off the seat and couldn't get her balance and landed on her ankle when she hit the ground..."
You shoot him a grateful look and the look out the back glass and see Clay's truck right behind y'all.
"TRENT!! YOU NEED TO CALL MY MOM." You say, panicked. You give him the number and he takes a deep breath and hits dial as Mrs. Cindy turns into the ER
