Beaten & Bruised

Be Kind

Trinity POV>

I woke up from a deep sleep, alone in my hospital bed. All the lights were off except the television hanging in the corner putting off a small light in the room. The pain medication they had me on was strong. So strong that it would knock me out for hours at a time and have me waking up at the weirdest times not knowing how long I had been out for. It was good I guess seeing as I was in so much pain but I guess I had been so numb to it that the sleeping was the only thing new to me. You could say I had drifted into a state of depression for the short period of time I had been here but now that everything was out and in the open it just made me that much more distant and had me feeling in ways that I couldn't hide anymore. Every newspaper and Hollywood news was already in a spin over my quote on quote "abusive relationship" with Kendall, yet nobody knew the truth... they were just spilling whatever rumors they could to make money...

I looked over at the small table next to me to grab a drink because my mouth felt like the Sahara desert when I noticed my pink Iphone sitting face up next to my cup. The once perfect screen was now shattered I guess from the fall I took down the stairs and there was a note..

It was addressed to me folded in half from James...

Trinity, I'm sorry for being so temperamental and so angry with you earlier. This entire situation has my mind in a spin because I'm not sure what or how to handle it, especially since you continue to keep pushing me away. I know I can never fully understand you or why this has happened and for that I am sorry.. You are my baby sister and literally the only thing I have left that is my family, so if that means I make a scene every once in a while, I will.. you have to understand something.. Kendall was a close, personal friend of mine almost like a brother and for him to be so intolerable and so sadistic is a slap in the face to me too. He hurt you.. and I don't know for how long, that is up to you to decide if you want to talk to me but one time is enough for me to want to kill him. We may not have mom or dad now (if we ever really did) but your well being means more to me than anything. I know your hurt and confused and just all around lost right now but YOU deserve more than that guys anger and your pain.. I love you Trinity but will only see someone I love go through so much...

-James

It made me cry because of how much the lies and the stuff I had been keeping to myself for so long was messing up my once great relationship with my brother amongst friends I used to have until Kendall isolated me to be alone and just with him. I wiped my face and grabbed my shattered phone where I had tons of messages and missed calls all of people I probably had barely spoken to in the last year. All wondering how I was doing... I hate myself for even checking but it made me so upset that Kendall hadn't called me, or texted me or anything... even if it was to just check in on me. I knew better than to even care what he did or didn't do at this point but it honest to god hurt me to the point I was in full blown tears to where my eyes were burning. I let out a painful cry as I layed in the hospital bed alone.... just what Kendall had wanted. To push everyone away from me and to be stuck with having nobody around until I felt desperate enough to call and beg him to come see me. I felt humiliated and stupid which was just what he wanted from me also... All the numb feelings I had been forced to push back were coming to the surface and all at once and I didn't know what to do with myself.

I sat there for another ten minutes until I cried my last tears. Until my eyes felt raw because as bad as it hurt it felt better to feel than to not feel anything at all. I got up to maneuver myself to the bathroom when the room door swang open. It was Logan holding a hand full of flowers. He saw me struggling and rushed over to let me lean on him. "I got it" I said when I realized how hateful I was being again and immediately started apologizing to him. "No,no,no its fine. It's okay Trinity" he said putting the flowers on my night stand and letting me lean on him for more support. I felt exactly like Kendall had hoped useless and weak... I could see that now and it made me angry. After my trip to the bathroom Logan set me down on the wheelchair next to the window. It was apparent how badly upset I was and that I had been crying. "Wanna get out of this room?" He said leaning down towards me in the chair looking me in the eyes. His eyes were so kind and so apologetic. I shrugged my shoulders, "I think we should, you've been trapped in here for days.. you need some movement even if it is on wheels" he said reaching over to a bag that I'm guessing James had packed full of my things and pulled out my pink fluffy throw blanket and draped it over my legs. I gave him a halfhearted smile and said "thank you" in a low tone as he smiled back at me before opening my room door and rolling me into the hall.

I had forgotten how bright a hospital was. There was so many LED lights around me that I almost couldn't get my eyes to adjust. "Yeah.. it's alot brighter out here than in your room" Logan said pushing me slowly to the elevator at the corner. "Are you hungry? I bet your hungry!?" He said as I shook my head no, I mean I am sure I could use something besides water or Dr. Pepper but I just didn't have an appetite. Logan looked at me with  a deep intensity and shook his head... "I'm starving.. maybe if your not that hungry we could share?" He said as I blinked my eyes at him and shrugged my shoulder.. "maybe" I said but it was enough to make him smile.

As we sat alone in the cafeteria seeing it was after hours, and I watched Logan eat a slice of Pizza. "Want some?" He asked but I declined his offer. "Trinity, you need to eat something" he said as I let out a deep breath. "I don't really want any pizza but thank you" I replied as he took a drink of orange juice and wiped the grease off of his hands. "Well, is there something you'll eat?" He asked when I pursed my mouth together trying to hide somewhat of a smile. "I don't know" I said as he darted his eyes at me. "You have got to be hungry, if you could eat anything right now what would it be?" He asked getting my interest. I thought about it for a couple minutes before I answered and the only thing I could come up with was Greek Yogurt of all things. "Uhhh maybe I could eat some Yogurt, some Greek yogurt.. maybe" I said pushing hair behind my ear. He smiled as he handed me a sip of his juice. "Then greek yogurt is what you'll have!" He said as he got up to throw his plate away.

Logan wheeled me to my room and let me get comfortable back on my bed before he raised it up. "Okay, you hold tight I'll be right back" he said as he left the room. It felt good to be asked what I wanted for a change I enjoyed it. As I waited around I actually picked up the remote and searched through the channels. I kept glancing over at the flowers Logan had brought and finding myself smiling.

"Okay" Logan said busting through the door breaking my focus off of my flowers. "I got honey and vanilla, raspberry and blueberry. Which one do you want?" he asked. It was a sweet gesture that I appreciated at this time. That someone made me feel like I was important. "Blueberry" I said as he handed it to me with a spoon. "Thank you" I said as I opened the top and peeled back the seal off the yogurt. "It's really not a big deal.. but you're welcome" he said taking a seat in a chair on the side of me and enjoying some crappy television with me.
