Remember Me? by Rachelle ([email protected]) Chapter 3 "You Ok?" Howie asked Nick as he dropped them off. Aaron had bounded into the house without a second look back. "Huh?" Nick said looking at Howie like he had just grown another head. "You've been quiet" he said urging Nick to speak up. It wasn't often you didn't find Nick running around like a man posessed so when he wasn't, you knew something was wrong. "I am just tired that's all" he said shrugging off the comment. Stepping out into the Florida heat he walked away from the car without a backward glance. Hearing him pull away from the driveway Nick stopped and walked towards the garage as he breathed slowly. Stopping, he peered around the edge of the house to see the grove of trees. Stepping off of the pavement and onto the grass he walked slowly towards them. He never came back to that tree. But as he slowly approached it he could almost hear her squeaky voice yelling at him about Kim Regan. Stopping in front of the tree there was nothing there. Just a few branches and some leaves. The tree was dying he realized. "Nick" a voice said startling him. Jumping up he turned around and saw Brian standing there looking at him puzzled "what are you doing?" he asked. Nick shook his head "Um nothing. Thought I saw something. Come on lets get out of here. I am hungry. PIZZA!" he exclaimed as he began jogging towards the house. "You are going to get a pot belly if you keep your eating habits up" Brian called after him. "Shut up" Nick called over his shoulder. "Hey mom can I talk to you for a minute?" Nick asked as he poked his head into his parents bedroom. Looking up from her book she nodded "sure whats up?" she said setting down her book. Walking over he took a seat on the floor as he looked up at her, "Today," he began but before he could get out another word Angel and Aaron ran into the room and in one quick movement jumped on top of him. "AH" he yelled as Aaron pinned him by the arms and Angel began tickling him. "Stop" he yelled. Laughing, his mom did nothing to admonish the twin terrors. "Gotcha" he said as he somehow stood up and picked up Angel but before he could do anything, Aaron jumped on his back "Let her go!" he demanded in his 'He-Man' voice. Laughing Nick set him down. Angel covered Nick's face in kisses and then darted through the door before he decided to chase her with Aaron hot on her heels their laughter leaving a trail of happiness. Sighing Nick smiled at him mom "I miss that" he said simply. "I know you do hun" she said as she smiled up at him. "But what do you need help with?" she asked. "Oh yea. Oh well nevermind" he said as he walked out of the room. "What are you doing in here!" BJ asked yawning. Nick shoot up from the floor as he turned and looked at BJ "What are you-ARE YOU JUST COMING HOME" he hissed at her. Ignoring his question BJ walked over to see what he was looking at to find him about to open the chest with all the old family albums. "Getting homesick" she commented. Looking at the grandfather clock in the corner of the living room he read 2:45. Glaring at her he raised his chin in the air "You are late. Curfew is at 1" he said his eyes a lite with anger. "Are you going to tell mom" she asked flippantly as she settled onto the couch. "Of course not" he said as he hit her with a pillow. "Whats your problem anyways? You have been uptight and you just got back" she said as she took the pillow and rested her arms on it propping her face on her hands. "I don't have a problem" he said as he continuted to glare at her but settled back onto the rug and opened the chest. "Thought this day would never come" she muttered as she stood up and was making her way into the hall. "Wait a minute" he said as he shoot back up and touched her arm. "What is it Nick?" she asked pushing her blond hair out of her face "What are you talking about?" he demanded. BJ shrugged "I remember Trinity. She was my age or did you forget? I knew eventually you would feel like a jack ass for not believeing her when she told you" she said shrugging. "JACK ASS" he exclaimed. "Shut up- Are you trying to wake up the whole neighborhood" she hissed. Lowering his voice he looked at her sharply "I was 11! what the hell!" he said. Ignoring him she kissed him lightly on the cheek "Oh rest. You'll never see her again. She probably hasn't set foot on American soil in the last 7 years" she said as she moved for the stair case but again Nick stopped her "What are you talking about?" he demanded. "God, Nick, mom never told you where she went or why?" BJ asked looking at him in surprise. Shaking his head BJ sighed "Trinity moved to Paris--She went to some boarding school there and I know there was another reason she went there but Mom didn't tell me...Think it was really serious" she said thoughtfully. Not wanting to hear any more Nick just shook his head and went back into the living room. "I got it!" BJ yelled as she raced to the door to answer it. The early Sunday morning sunshine lit the Carters house through the massive windows in all the rooms drapping all of the 5 children in sunshine as it played off their golden hair. But the figure standing on their door step was quite a contrasting figure. Pewter eyes looking into the blue eyes held a hesitancy to it as the smoky hair was piled loosely on top of her head as Trinity's heart shaped face had grown still at the sight of BJ. "Oh my God" BJ said softly. Smiling shyly, Trinity took in a breath "Hi BeeJ" "Who is it" a voice said behind BJ as Trinity came face to face with Mr. Carter. Surprise filled his eyes as he looked at her. "Hello Mr. Carter" Trinity said gently. "Trinity? Trinity Sebring?" he said as he tried to recover from the shock of seeing her. A broad smile filling her face, she nodded "Yes it's me Mr. Carter" she said softly. "OH MY GOD" BJ screamed recovering from her intial shock as she ran out onto the porch and hugged Trinity. Laughing Trinity hugged her back. "Hey whats all the noise. Tell me it isnt the press" a grumpy voice said. Pushing his father aside slightly Nick wanted to see what all the commotion was about. BJ pulled away from Trinity as she stepped back. Rubbing his eyes, Nick looked at her. Blankness filled his eyes for a moment. Rubbing them again to make sure he wasn't seeing anything his eyes widen "Trinity?" he questioned. "Uh huh. Hi Nicky" she said quietly. Next: Chapter 4 -FanFics -Home
