Trystans PoV
Two months today you left us.
Two months today was the hardest day of my life
Two months today you left us for dead
Two months today my life went with you
Two months today you broke your promise to always be here to protect us
Carmen's PoV
It's the weekend again, and instead of texting Hollie or Oliver like I usually would, I found myself texting Trystan
Hey, fancy doing something today? Xx
I just want you with me right now ☹️😞😪 xx
Sure I will be right over xx
I went down stairs while scooping my hair up in a ponytail and walk through to where my mum and dad where sitting.
"Dad could I borrow your car please?"
"What for?"
"I'm going over to Trystans, he is upset and I want to be there for him"
"Sure keys are in my black coat pocket in the hallway"
"Thanks dad"
I climb into the car and turn on the AC I begin driving using the directions he gave me.
I get to his house five minutes later.
I walk up and knock on the door but no one answers so I knock again and a little girl answers
"Well hi there" I say bending down to eye level
"Hewwo I'm Amelia what's your name?" She said in the cutest voice
"Hi Amelia my names Carmen, is your brother in?"
"Yep he is in his room, he is very sad, I heard him crying earlier"
"Do you mind if I come in"
"Will you make Trissy happy again?" Ok this kid is just adorable
"I will sure try make him happy!"
"Ok" she said opening the door wider for me" his room is at the end of the. Hall"
"Thank you" I said walking up the stairs, once I got to the top I walked straight down to the end of the hall.
I knock on the door and wait for a response, I step back from the door as I hear him opening it
I'm greeted by a depressed looking Trystan, the corners of his lips are turned down and his eyes look dull and empty, the skin under his eyes are puffy and there is fresh tear tracks lining his cheeks
I step into his room
"Are you okay?" What stupid stupid stupid, he is clearly not ok
Instead of responding, his eyes filled to the brim with fresh tears and his lip began to quiver
I opened my arms to hug him and he wrapped his arms around me instantly , I could feel his muscles tensing and un-tensing as they wrap round me even tighter, he places his head in the crook of my neck and he cries, I feel his body shaking which each sob that leaves his mouth,
We stay hugging for at least five minutes before I hear no more sobs and his grip loosens on me. He sniffs up and looks down, his cheeks burn a red colour and he muffles an apology
"Don't be silly, you're allowed to cry, sometimes it helps"
"Yeah I think your right"
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him
"Sure" he flops own onto his bed and I perch on the edge looking at him
"So as you know my dad wasn't exactly a how'd you say good man in the eyes of the law"
"Yeah" I ushered him
"Well I don't know if you know but he was in a gang, called the Dragon Snipers, he was the leader. And eh he got himself and his gang into fights all the time, constantly putting everyone in danger, but he always won, and then" he paused to take a breath "then two months ago today there was an attack on our house while my dad was out on a mission, the leader of an enemy gang targeted the house while I was at the park with Amelia, we came back to the house and my mum was gone, there was. Note, it was from my dad it said look after Amelia, I love you both very much, I was so confused then I saw a screwed up piece of paper next to it, I unfolded it and it was another note" I sit patiently listening trying not to cry "it said an address on it and something about them having something of my fathers, I went to where the address said to, after taking Amelia to max's of course, and I parked the car, I sneaked into a building and hid in the shadows, I watched the scene, they had my mother tied up and on her knees my dad slightly to her left and their leader stood before them with a gun in his hand, I backed away slightly so they didn't see me , but I knocked something over and he shot the gun at my mother but I saw my dad dive in-front of it , I saw him lying in a pool of his own blood, my mother screaming kneeling over him in tears, and I couldn't I couldn't" by this point he was sobbing again, I let a few tears of my own fall "it's my fault if I didn't, if I didn't knock that stupid thing over he would still be here today"
"No this was not your fault, this was their fault ok, you did not aim that gun and you did not pull that trigger, he did , your dad was brave and even if you didn't go there he would have still pulled that trigger" I try to smooth him
" and you know what the worst part is, my mum, he took a bullet for my mum he saved her life someone he loved and thought loved him , and she is already going out sleeping with other men, going on dates with other guys"
"Oh Trystan, I'm not saying what she is doing is ok, but it sounds like she is trying to cope with the fact he is gone, I'm not saying you should excuse it heck I wouldn't I'd hate my mum if I was in your situation, but you've got me, my parents and Amelia. You're not lonely, even when you're alone you don't have to be lonely, you always got me" I turned all soppy on him
"Thanks princess, you do know how to cheer a guy up"
"It is one of my special skills" I joke
"Oh yeah, do you want to see one of mine?"
I arch an eyebrow
He grabs the side of my face gently, and pulls my head in, he hovers over my lips for a few seconds before joining them, I'm surprised at first but soon respond, our lips work together while my hands have a mind of their own
I straddle his lap and wrap my hands in his hair, he slowly lays down, not breaking the kiss for a second, his hand rests on the small of my back
He licks the bottom of my lip which I find myself. Granting him, his tongue slides in and starts dancing around my mouth, I press myself against him trying to close the non-existent gap.
I feel his hand start to ride up my shirt. His touch leaves tingles like electricity on my skin
I grab his hand and pull away from the kiss,
"I'm sorry" I quickly apologise now embarrassed
"No I'm sorry, I should have asked"
"Its fine" he smiles at me and pecks me on the lips again
"You hungry?" He randomly asks me
"Kind of" I admit
I follow him downstairs and into the kitchen where his mum is
"I see your finally finished being a cry baby" I ball my hands into fists ready to punch her but Trystan puts his hand over my clenched on and softens it
"Shame I can't see that you're finished being a slut" he piped up and dragged me out the kitchen,
Once we are outside his house I begin laughing so hard
"Do you want to go for ice cream?"
"Sure, there's a cool ice cream parlour near mine, we can take my car"
"Sure"
