Trigger (Sean Astin)

Present Day

I'm currently on the steps of school, with my shit falling out of my arms, because I don't have my shit together this morning like I normally do.
I stayed up all night studying for a bio final, and I still don't think I'll get a good enough grade.
Making to my locker with like 3 minutes until the bell rang, I shoved everything in my locker and sighed wiping my hair out of my face.
So, things have changed since we were 12.
We got to highschool.
That should explain some of it.

Were all 16 now.
So it's been awhile since I checked in.
I sighed and organized the books I needed to bring in my locked then set them down and looked down at my outfit.
I was wearing acid wash jeans with a hole in the ass, cause that's the style, and a black tank top with my keds.
I just know some teachers gunna ride my ass about it, but I was late, and this was the first thing I could find.
I sighed and shook my head, then I went to grab my books out of my lockers, but someone came up and "tazed" my side making me scream and they started laughing.
"TRIGGER!!!",I laughed and hit his arm as he kept laughing.

"You were so vulnerable I had to!!", he laughed and I glared at him, then laughed as well.
"Your an ass", I laughed then grabbed my books and slammed my locker closed,heading to class and I looked around every few seconds.
"What do you keep looking around for?",Trigger said as he looked around too.
"I'm just waiting for some teacher to come out of nowhere and jump down my throat about what I'm wearing", I rolled my eyes as we headed for class.
 "Well here, why did'nt you just say so?",Trigger said then took off his cool patterned button up shirt he was wearing and handed it to me.
"Thanks Trig", I smiled, then took it from him and put it on, and it did look cool.

"Come on lets get to class",he laughed as he hooked his arm around my shoulders and we weaned our way through the crowd of people on their way to class as well.
"Where's Chris?", I asked him and hooked my arm around his shoulder as well.
"Probably in class already having a panic attack cause he thinks he's gunna fail",he yelled over the others who were yelling throughout the hall.
"How's he gunna fail?I literally wrote down all his answers for him on the book cover he has to put up so no one can "copy his answers"", I said."Oh that reminds me-here, before I forget."
I dug the paper I wrote Triggers answers on out of my binder then handed it to him, then he took it, looked it over and smirked at me.
"It every answer to every question for you chemistry final", I smirked back.
"Oh man, Addy I owe ya",he shook his head as he looked at them.
"Your right-big time", I laughed and nudged him."You need to get your grades up, plus you helped me out last time with the whole Jacob thing."

"O-Oh yea",he said and looked down.
I watched his as we kept walking, but I looked away.
A couple months ago, I started dating this football star, named Jacob Burris.
He's about 6'0, has blonde hair and brown eyes, really cute dimples and he's really cute.|
Not cuter then Trigger though.
Trigger's adorable...among other things if you get my drift.
Basically, because of Trigger were together though.

Trigger knew I liked him alot, and he knew I was too shy to go and talk to him, so he got him to ask me out, and I said yes.
As sad as it may sound, I lost hope in loving Trigger, because I knew he did'nt love me back, so I moved on and I found Jacob...but a part of me still deep down inside still loves him and I can't just stop.
He's been there through everything that has ever gone on in my entire life.
Ever since we were kids.
He's always had my back, and that made me fall in love with him even more.

The bell rang and I threw my arm around Trigger.
"Come on kid, before we get our ass kicked by the wardens", I laughed and he laughed as well as we ran to class.
As soon as we got in there, Trigger and I sat in the back of our History class like we usually do and I squinted to see the board.
"Aww dammit", I gritted to myself and sighed.
"What?",Trigger said as he turned around in his seat in front of me.
"I forgot to look for my glasses in my locker", I sighed again and whipped some stray hairs out of my face."They were'nt at home, they were'nt here-I don't know what I did with them and now I can't find them and I neeeed them...cause I cannot see the board."

"Shit that sucks",Trigger said."Hey close your eyes for a second."
"Trigger, I just got through bitchin about my glasses, and now your telling me to close my eyes?", I laughed and waved a hand around.
"Would you just-?",he said.
I stared at him, not believing him, but I waved my hand once more like "ok fine", then held my head up by putting it under my chin and I closed my eyes.
Then a couple seconds later, I felt him putting something on my face, and I opened to see I could see a hell of a lot better, then I realized he had them.
"Where'd you find em?", I said in shock."What did you steal em when I was'nt looking or..?"
"No!",he laughed."You left em at my place last Friday when you and Chris came over to hang out, so I grabbed em and kept em until we met here."

Did'nt I always say he had my back with everything?
I stared at him in disbelief for a couple seconds, and then a huge smile broke out on my face, and I hugged him, so he laughed and hugged back.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you", I said really fast, then I let him go and sat back in my chair again.
"Your welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome", he said like a smart ass and i laughed.
Just then, my boyfriend walked in with his friends and a couple cheerleaders laughing about something, and then I remembered he did'nt call me last night when he said he would.
As a matter of fact,  I have'nt heard from him all week.

"I'll be right back", I sighed as I got up.
"Where ya goin?",Trigger asked.
"Just...I'll be back", I shook my head at him as I walked down the aisle to Jacob and his friends, then I put on a fake smile like it did'nt hurt me he ignored me for almost a whole week.
"Hey babe", I smiled, and they all immediately stopped talking, while the cheerleaders stared and whispered to each other, giving me dirty looks.
Ignoring them, I continued.
When we started dating, I learned to not pay attention to what people think of me, and I took criticism really well.
"Hey I was thinkin after school we could go and grab some pizza and hang out", I said and everyone there laughed, him included.

"Sorry do I know you?",he said and my mouth dropped.
"Uh, yea", I said annoyed."Addison?Your girlfriend for almost 3 months?"
To this they just laughed again, and I looked over my shoulder at Trigger, who just had this sad, surprised, shocked, look on his face, and slowly I saw it change from that to a pissed off one, but I turned back around to them.
"Sorry sweetheart, he does'nt keep track of who he bangs",one guy laughed and that just got em all laughing again and once again, my mouth dropped.
"Alright class settle down, let's go ahead and get ready for our big test we have this morning",our teacher called.

I slowly turned and looked down at the floor as I walked back to my seat in the back.
"Ad?..Addy",Trigger said as he lightly brushed his hand on my wrist as I walked by, but I ignored him and sat down in my seat again, folding my arms and putting them on the table.
"Ads?",Trigger whispered back to me."Addy look at me, please?"
I slowly looked up at him and he shook his head.
"Don't pay attention to him, he's an ass",he said."Don't feel bad, your too pretty for him, he's not worth being sad over."
I nodded and gave him a weak smile while he squeezed my hand a little, giving me a smile as well, and then he turned around in his seat again as our teacher handed out our tests.
