Keeping A Painful Reminder

But hes "really sorry" ma

Ever since the trip to the hospital Trinity was never by herself anymore. If she wasn't with Chris she was with Sarah. If she wasnt with Sarah she was with Chris.

School had started to become more and more tiresome. Some days even lifting her bag alone took so much energy it required a pep talk to do.
She was sleeping in class and spending more classes in the nurses office laying down then she could currently count.

Ever since she'd passed out in the hall the mean people had dialed down the snarky comments and petty actions. Strangely enough Trevor wasn't actively avoiding her at all cost anymore either. Its like her passing out had reminded everyone that she was in fact a human and could get hurt from what they were doing and saying.

Stranger still is the fact that Trevor had not only not avoided her but just walked up to her a few seconds ago. So now here she stood staring blankly at her ex boyfriend while silently praying for Sarah to hurry back from the bathroom for fear of what the boy might say and/or do to her.

"We need to talk." He sternly demanded causing Trinitys eyes to widen only to widen more so when he looked taken-a-back at his own tone.

"O-okay...eep!" Was her squeaked out reply as he yanked her into the nearest empty class room.

"Look I'm sorry for being such a douchebag about your..."Situation." I just got really upset that you would hide something so important from me. I understand why you did it now and Im working really hard to get a hold of my problems and start attempting to fix them. A really good start down that path is what Im doing now. Giving you a sincere and well thought out apology. I could have handled the whole situation in many many much better and less volatile ways and I know that's now. If I wasnt so caught up in myself I could have figured it out on my own. Maybe if I would have slowed down and think about how keeping the pregnancy from me affected you. If I would have just gotten my head out of my ass I might have noticed and we might still be together today." He said running his hand through his hair a few times and pacing back and forth.

"Im not saying I want to get back together dont get me wrong." He clarified." I was just hoping that maybe you would forgive me and we could go back to being friends like before. It was really fun being your friend and boyfriend, but I just dont think we are compatible to date. And I mean us be friends assuming Sarah doesnt strangle me just for coming near you."

"Speak of the devil." Trinity said as the sound of the ringtone Trinity had picked for Sarah rang out from her back pocket.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?!" Sarah snapped a mix of worry and frustration in her tone.

"Im in room 206." She replied peaking out the door to make sure before turning to Trevor and asking.  "Were you done Trevor?"

"TREVOR?! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WITH TREVOR?!" Sarah yelled and Trinity could hear her voice echoing down the halls causing silence while at the same time hearing it through the phone.

"He wanted to apologise."  Trinity stated plainly.

"TRINITY  I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING HOLY AND EVIL IF YOU TAKE HIM BACK-!" Sarah started before being cut off by Trinity who was becoming more and more annoyed and had no explanation as to why.

"But hes said hes 'really sorry' ma!" Trinity said joking but Sarah was not having it.

"I DONT CARE HOW SORRY HE SAYS HE IS! HES PROBABLY JUST LYING! YOU CANT JUST FORGET WHAT HE DID BECAUSE OF SOME PRETTY WORDS!"

"Im not going to but I am going to forgive him because of how sincere the apology sounded and felt." She snapped.

"Oh thank god. Y-you wont regret this Trinity I promise!" Trevor said smiling before hugging her tightly.

"To- tight-. Babies- being- squished-." Trinity said pushing Trevor away to loosen the hug.

"Sorry." He said letting go.

"Its fine. Though you might want to make yourself scarce before Sarah gets here." She said chuckling and making shooing motions towards him.

"Y-yeah. Ill see you around Trinity." He said as he walked over to the door.

"Mmhmm you can count on it!" She said happily before adding in a joking manner," Well I mean if I dont end up getting put on bed rest."

"True. And I value my life so I would have to refrain from coming to visit you." He said chuckling a bit as well but also knowing full and well how serious what they where saying was.

"Yeah now scram." Trinity said practically pushing him out into the crowded hall.

Just in time I might add, because shortly after Sarah arrived at room 206 and looked inside only to turn around to Trinity tapping on her shoulder from behind.

"Come on Sarah lets get to class the bells about to-" as if on cue the bell rang  causing both girls to scurry off to their separate classes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the next two weeks Trinity hung out with Trevor a few times and was reminded of why she had said yes when he had asked her to go out with him. That moment seemed so far away now, so many things have happened.

This time Trinity knew he was only good to be a friend, a good friend at that. Now that they weren't dating Trevor payed more attention to the things she said and with the help of his therapist he had become more laid back and not so uptight.

During some of the time they spent together Trinity tutored him. Even though she was sleeping through class she still remained her near perfect grades. Somehow even when she was sleeping she was still retaining the information and the times she was in the nurses office she had made sure nothing important was going to happen in class before leaving.

Seeing her not having any trouble with working through her advanced calculus home work Trevor had practically begged her to help him study so he could understand his math work better.

After he asked this they met every Tuesday and Thursday. Lets just say... Chris was not happy with the new developments. Especially when he had met Blake and found out he would sometimes be joining them when they hung out.

The intense look on Chris's face as he eyed Blake had caused Trinity to burst out laughing causing all three boys to look at her.

"What?" They all asked in unison causing her to laugh more.

"S-sorry its just that Chris looked like an angry teddy bear just now. " She said still giggling.

"I thought he looked intimidating." Trevor mumbled.

"Thats because your like an even smaller teddy bear. But Blake doesn't look like a teddy bear at all. He is intimidating even when hes not trying to be. He scawy. " She said doing a cute voice at the end and winking at Trevor.

"Im not scawy." Blake said in a baby voice before pouting cutely.

*Actually gasps before saying it* "Gasp!"  Trinity said shocked at how the older man could go from "cut you" to "to cute 4 u" in three seconds flat.

"Stop that! Youll kill me!" Trinity joked clutching her heart and plopping down on the couch beside Chris.

"Anyways I want all three of you to get along or else no one gets to talk to me." She said adding grinning mischievously, " Oh and Blake and Trevor. I expect more from both of yall since your siblings."

"Hey not fair!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"Lets go! Sarahs out front so thats all of us. Now lets have some fun." Trinity said referring to the splatter paint session she had booked.
