Remember Me? Chapter 14 "Trinity" Nick said quietly as he reached for her arm but she hopped off the bed and spun around to face him a bright smile plastered on her face "I really want some pizza. Will you come with me?" "Pizza" he said his eyes lighting up. "You know Nick if you keep eating as if you are going to feed an army. . .Well you are going to become the size of an army" Trinity said giggling slightly. Narrowing his eyebrows he said nothing for a moment "Why must people always make fun of my weight. Am I really getting fat?" he demanded as he stood up and walked over to the mirror hanging on her wall and examined himself closely. "No . .You are fine" Trinity said with a soft smile as she walked back over to him and stared at him as he studied her own reflection in the mirror "You really have changed" he said gently. Blushing she hung her head "Yea. . .Don't I know it. . ." she said with a hint of sadness. "Talk to me Trin. . .About everything. Steve. . .Your mother. . .Your dad. . .Don't tell me you don't need me right now. I know that look" he said quietly as he saw the pain etched into her face that was so young. "NO" she said forcefully. Afraid if she started to cry again she would never stop. But Nick couldn't help her until she let it go. "Trin. . please" he whispered pulling her to him. Struggling for a moment she collapsed against his body as he held her up. Soft tears of silent suffering and loss cascaded down her face "Nickolas please. . .Please don't let me go" she whispered as she now clung to him so tightly he felt that she would break him. "Oh Trin" he whispered as he held her tightly, but also afraid that she just might break in his arms. "I can not. . .even begin to voice. . .this. ..it eats at me Nick. In the middle of the night when it's just me and IT. It is there toturing me taunting me. And Jesus-I can't get rid of it because it is me" she weeped as she now crumpled to the floor. Sinking down next to her Nick could not keep the tears out of his own heart and eyes "I should have been here for you. . ." he said stroking her fine hair. Burying her head in his lap her reply was muffled but he knew what she would say before she said "no. . .no. . .God it isn't your fault. . ." he muttered as he tried controlling the own pain that seemed to over take him. The thought of her being so lonely. "Trinity. . .Trinity. . .I. . .Lo-" but before he could finish saying what he wasn't even sure what he was saying Trinity pulled away from him wide eyed "NO" she commanded as she scrambled up wiping at her tears trying to keep some of her composure left. "Trinity" he said his face turning a deep red but she just shrugged him off "GET OUT. Go to the guest room. I NEED TO BE ALONE RIGHT NOW" she said her eyes red and her cheeks flushed. "No you are not going to send me away again" he said approaching her but she held up her hands as if to ward him off "NO NICK NO" she cried trying to back away from him 'He can not see me like this' she thought violently. "I don't care Trin I want to be here for you. PLEASE" he said not aware that he was pleading and crying with her. "Why Nick? Oh Why?" she wept.Next: Chapter 15 |
