Better Than Me (Trent and Kira)

Song Inspiration: Inspiried by Better Than Me by: Hinder

It had been an exhausting night for Trent Fernandez. He laid in his bed, lost in his thoughts. The previous happenings playing over in his tired mind. His head ached with pain and wondering thoughts of what he had done and with the possibilities of what could have been. If only he listened to his heart just this one time and not his mind. If only he had, he wouldn't be laying there in his own misery, kicking himself for the words that he had said, how harsh they had come out. He took his anger, his pain, and his frustrations of the past out on the one single person that ever mattered to him. He didn't know what felt worse, his heart or his head or seeing the pain in her own eyes. The tears that fell down her face as he told her that it was over because he couldn't deal with the fact that he had hurt her all that time ago when the evil of the White Dino Gem had taken control over him and made him do things he wouldn't normally do. He fought her and the others...he lied and kept things from them. He hurt her and if given the right moment, he could have killed her and that thought alone tore at his shattered heart. It was something that he was having a hard time getting over and letting go.

Trent rolled over onto his side, staring at the empty spot next to him on the bed...the same spot that she once slept in. His hand ran over the sheets, slowly, still able to smell the sweet scent of peaches from her body wash that she used the night before. A soft sigh escaped his lips. 'What have I done?' He thought to himself, hating himself more and more with each time he thought about what he told her.

He still couldn't believe himself that he let her walk out the door and out of his life. He wanted to stop her but the thought of hurting her again terrified him so he let her slip away and now he was even more miserable then he was all ready. It hurt him deeply that he had to do what he did...tell her that he didn't want to be with her anymore, that they were better off going their separate ways...that he was only standing in the way of her life. He would only cause more harm then good if they were to stay together.

He closed his eyes. The look on her face, the hurt was visible to the naked eye in her own eyes. The tears...the sadness...the moment her heart broke into a million of pieces when those 4 words slipped out of his mouth, but it was the only way for him to get her to go, to leave him alone and not try to comfort him like she had always done in the past. This time he couldn't let the warm embrace, her caring words, break through the wall that he put up. He couldn't hurt her anymore. He wouldn't aloud himself too.

It had been 7 months since the evil gem was destroyed and they had defeated his father who was Mesogog and everyone went on with their lives. But there was always something deep inside of him that he couldn't forgive himself for what he did while under the control of the gem. It may not have been him mentally causing the chaos but the White Ranger was still apart of him. Even some part of him liked the power that it possessed. The feeling of not being able to be stopped or the thrill of releasing his own inner demons he struggled with, through the gem, it was...it was almost incredible. He couldn't be stopped and some small part of him loved that feeling.

It was that day that he found out that the Yellow Ranger was her. It was a tough fight, he did give them credit for trying to stop the White Ranger but they were no match for him. He was much stronger then they were. He still had the memory of him fighting the Yellow Ranger. He knew that he had hurt the ranger after they went at it for a few seconds before he got the upper hand and took her out. He could remember hearing the White Ranger laughing at their fight when she didn't even leave a scratch on him and she was down on the ground and demorphed.

He reached for her. He was going to destroy her but at that very moment when he roughly turned her around to face the one who was going to end her life, he saw who she was. He was shocked...surprised...he even had a feeling that the White Ranger was taken back by who was there in his arms, when it was the very girl that the White Ranger's host had crushed on. And it was a struggle for Trent to try with everything he had in him to stop the White Ranger from hurting her anymore. It was a battle that he soon would lose when the Red and Blue Rangers got in on the action to protect their fallen friend.
