Reece

"Trinity?" I called her name for the fifth time and still, there was no response. I was losing her, she was spiraling, and I didn't know what to do. I had memories flashing through my mind. My mom, rapidly moving beyond my reach. My father gone. My family decimated. I couldn't handle that again. I wouldn't survive it this time, not without her.
"Trinity?" I called to her again, my voice cracking and shaking. "Baby, please look at me." I tried one more time to get her attention as I shook her.
"Huh?" She finally responded, like she hadn't even heard me before at all. "What's wrong Reece?" She asked me like nothing had happened at all. Like she had not just been sitting there staring off into nothingness for several minutes.
"Trinity, baby, are you alright?" I asked her, trying to get her to open up to me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She tried to smile, but it was clearly a grimace. She was not ok, but she was trying to be, for me.
