Remember Me? Chapter 9 But stopped in mid stride "Wait BeeJ?" he called out. Turning around to face the male version of herself she tilted her head to the side "Yea?" Seeing the hesitation in his eyes she knew that he wasn�t really sure if he wanted to know the answer to this question he was about to ask "Is Trinity�.I mean did she�" Flustered he looked away from BJ. Sighing BJ walked up to him and hugged him tightly "Hey Nick come on. You survived 7 years without her. What do you need her for now?" she said softly. Sighing Nick shrugged "I don�t need her�..I just wanted to make sure she was ok�" he said casting his blue eyes to the floor. Kissing him on the cheek she nodded "She will live Nick" "Hey BeeJ?" Nick said softly before she turned and walked away. Raising her eyebrow she looked at him. "Can you call me Nickers?" Touched by his sentimentalism she nodded "Nickers, it�ll be all right""Hi daddy" Trinity said softly as she walked into the foyer to find her father sitting on the steps staring at a photo. Looking up in surprise, the photo fell from his hand and the crash sent shivers up and down Trinity�s spine. "Oh�Hi Love. How was your trip" he said his face turning red as he tried picking the glass up. "Dad stop. It�s ok. I will get it" Trinity said as she hugged him tightly. "Things went ok?" he asked quietly. Nodding Trinity casted her eyes to the ground "Fine�They went fine" she said softly. "I am sorry I didn�t go�I�" he said his voice trailing off helplessly. "You don�t have to explain" she said as she looked at him softly. "Well�.Did you see the Carter�s again?" he asked trying to make a conversation. Seeing her face shift into an emotion he long forgot he felt like hitting himself. The same haunted look that crossed her face at 9 at the mention of the Carter�s returned. "Ok angel I am going to insert my foot into my mouth now" he said as he shook his head. "Dad it�s ok. The Carter�s were the same as always�." She said as she walked towards the closet and got out the broom and dustpan. "Really? So you saw Nick?" he asked as he moved away from the glass. "Yea. He hasn�t really grown up. He�s just a klutz in a 6 foot body" she said with a shrug. "6 feet eh?" he said with a chuckle. "Yep�" she said. "Well�I have to go to the office�.I just wanted to be here when you got home�I will call you later�You can order in�I left some money on the table" he said. "Sure. Bye" she said kissing his cheek. As she listened to him pull out of the drive way, Trinity bent over and picked up the black and white photograph from the shattered glass. "Ow" she exclaimed as a splinter pricked her finger. Turning the picture over she gasped softly as she saw Nick�s 11 year old face blowing out his birthday candles as she stood next to him making a face. "I forgot all about this" she whispered her eyes watering. A drop of blood fell to the picture sinking into the space between Nick and her. Releasing the picture from her hands she watched it float slowly back to the shattered glass.Next: Chapter 10 |
