Henshall, Lewis and Gibson, LLC
Boston, Massachusetts
July 18th, 2002
"Are you sure you want to do this, Trini? We can't stand to lose our best legal aid because of a personal matter," Vincent Gibson, one of the senior partners of the prestigious law firm said, looking a little bit disheartened. He had taken an instant liking to her from the moment she started working for this law firm after graduating from Harvard Law and he had high hopes for her to continue working here as a paralegal, maybe even become a partner somewhere down the line.
Trini sighed deeply and nodded her head slowly. "I'm sure. It's been great working here, but after what happened, I knew that one of us had to go. Russell's been here longer, so I felt it was time for me to leave. I appreciate everything you guys have done for me."
"Well, you have been an exceptional employee, Ms. Kwan. We're all gonna miss you," he said as they shook hands. She smiled slightly as she reached down and picked up a box full of her belongings off the chair. She turned on her heel and began walking out of her now former boss's office when his voice stopped her right in her tracks.
"Trini, you will always have a spot here if you ever decide to come back. I wish you nothing but the best," Vincent said, smiling brightly.
She looked over her shoulder and kept her smile on her face. "Thank you, Vincent. But, it's time for me go home."
And, with that, she finally stepped out of his office. She was heading towards the elevator when the last person she wanted to see decided to make his presence felt by coming from around the corner. Trini had to hold in her breath at the sight of her ex-fiancé Russell looking so good in his two piece Armani suit and smelling like a million bucks. Her mind wandered back to all the good times they had together; all the quite, intimate moments they shared at his luxurious apartment and the romantic, exotic trips they took together.
However, she still can't get over how he broke her heart on their wedding day by revealing that he has fallen in love with Vivian and intends to marry her, leaving Trini heartbroken, distraught and totally confused. A part of her will probably never fully understand why he would do this and she may never get the answers she needed.
When she finally arrived at the elevator, she managed to turn her eyes away from him, but felt him stand right behind her when he finally arrived. He cleared his throat, hoping to get her attention, but she continued ignoring him. It wasn't until he place his hand on her shoulder that she finally turned to face him.
"Russell, what do you want?" she asked, her patience already wearing thin.
"Trini, I hope there's no hard feelings between us, despite the circumstances," he told her, which caused her eyes to bug out in shock.
"No hard feelings?! NO HARD FEELINGS?! You've got to be kidding me right now! Do you know how much you embarrassed and humiliated me?! Do you know how much you hurt me?! You broke my heart and stomped on it when you revealed that you were in love with Vivian and wanted to marry her instead of me, in front of everyone who showed up at our wedding! How in the blue fucking hell could you do this to me, huh?!" she snapped, slamming her box down on the floor and placing her hands on her hips. She was trying so hard not to drop kick his sorry ass right now.
"Listen, I know you're upset and you have every right to be, but you have to understand that my feelings for Vivian never went away. We were on and off for years before you came into my life. Even though I did love you to an extent, my feelings for her never went away," he explained, his face looking stoic.
She just shook her head in disbelief. "So all those times we spent together meant nothing to you?! In case you forgotten, you pursued me, not the other way around. You kept persisting and persisting until I finally caved in and agreed to go out to dinner with you. I thought you were the greatest guy in the world and I even told my friends back in California about you. I loved you, damn it! You owe me an explanation on why you decided to break my heart on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life!"
He turned his head away from her. What he was about to say will break her heart all over again. He could barely look at her right now because clearly she was beyond pissed off.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't love you. My heart has always belonged to Vivian. And now that I'm finally gonna marry her, maybe it's best that you leave. My admission to the guests confirmed that. You're an amazing girl, but you're not the right girl for me, Trinity."
Fresh tears started brimming in her brown eyes as she stood there and absorbed what he had just told her. When he said that he didn't love her, it was as if he ripped her heart right out of her chest, threw it on the ground and stomped on it without a care in the world. The usually tough, quiet and reserved original yellow ranger has become a shell of her former self.
And it's all thanks to the man who has pretty much ruined her self-esteem, broke her heart and left her a tattered mess.
Russell felt his face sting when Trini once again slapped him hard across his usually smug face. With tears still streaming down her face, she slipped the engagement ring right off her left ring finger and threw it at him; watching the sparkling object bounce off his chest and land right on the floor; not caring if it broke. She then reached down and picked her box off the floor; cradling it on the left side of her hip. With more tears falling from her eyes, she promptly glared at him, the man who pretty much ruined her life by telling her that he didn't love her.
What a self-absorbed jackass!
"I really hope you're happy with Vivian, Russell. I really do. She's more than welcome to your brand of bullshit. I never thought in a million years that I could harbor any hatred towards anyone, but, Russell Chang, I hate you so much. But, you know what? I actually wanna thank you because what you just told me confirmed that I still have a chance at true love. He's out there; waiting for me, wanting to heal my broken heart and love me with the respect and dignity I deserve," Trini said as the elevator doors finally opened and she stepped right inside.
He didn't bother looking at her as she stood in the elevator and kept glaring at him; calling him every single name in the book. On the surface, he acted like he didn't care, but deep down inside, he was a damn fool. When he finally raised his head up, he felt even more like a fool; seeing her stand there, tear-stained, angry and doing everything she could not to jump back out of the elevator and beat his ass.
If she did, he deserved it for destroying their lives together.
"Trini? Can we at least be friends?" Russell asked in a soft, unsure voice.
She continued glaring right at him as the doors began to close. "Yeah, we can be friends. But not with each other. Goodbye, Russell."
And, with that, the doors were finally closed.

Kwan Residence
Boston, Massachusetts
July 18th, 2002
Sitting right in front of the fireplace, Trini was nursing a bottle of red wine and had some slow, sad music being played on the stereo. Still teary-eyed after her hasty encounter with Russell earlier, she had mounds and mounds of pictures of them during happier times scattered all around the carpet floor as she was doing everything she can not to have a total meltdown. Picking up one of the photos of them smiling with their arms around each other, she closed her eyes and recalled them visiting Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last summer and having the best time of their lives.
Letting out a bated breath, she quickly tossed it right into the fireplace; watching in satisfaction as the photo started being reduced to ash. Trini picked up the next photo, which was a little more private and intimate of them together. She had spent a considerable amount of time at his apartment and Russell would get a big kick out of her modeling her Victoria's Secret lingerie for him before she'd get tackled on the bed and they ended up making mad, passionate love for hours on end. And afterwards, she would lay her head on his broad chest and listen to his heartbeat as he slept with a contented smile on his face.
And, when she falls asleep, she'd be smiling herself. She thought she had found the man of her dreams.
Well, that was then, this is now. She tossed the photo of her in her lingerie right into the fireplace before taking a sip of her wine. She tossed several more photos of her and Russell into the fire as she felt more tears streaming down her face. Trini wiped them away with her hands as she continued tossing more and more photos into the fire and watching them burn, being reduced to ash. As far as she's concerned, her life with Russell is officially over and done with.
She needed someone to talk to. Trini knew that Kim was staying at a hotel nearby, but she could always go and visit her and vice versa. Besides, Kim promised to stay and help her pack because Trini plans on leaving Boston within the next few weeks. Most of her stuff were already packed and put into storage, but her furniture still needed to be moved, so the movers will be coming by her apartment within the next day or two to pick them up.
However, before she could even dial Kim's cell phone number, her phone rang unexpectedly. Startled for a second, she grabbed the remote control of her stereo and turned the volume down, then she pushed the 'talk' button on the phone and pressed the object to her ear.
"Hello?" she answered in a soft, firm voice.
"Trini?" a deep, husky voice called out to her.
She knew that deep, husky, sexy voice anywhere. Even after not seeing him for eight years, she could still hear his voice in her dreams at night when she goes to sleep.
"Jason?" her face was contorted in surprise.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were back from your honeymoon. I thought Kim was staying at your apartment," he replied, sounding a little bit sheepish.
"No, she's staying at a hotel nearby. But, um, how are you doing? It's been eight years, right?" she asked, laughing softly.
He chuckled on the other line. "It sure has, Tiger. I missed you."
She smiled into the phone. "I missed you, too, Jase. I missed everyone in Angel Grove. Kim told me you're living in Malibu now. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing great. I love living in Malibu. I have a great career in real estate and I'm in the process of opening up my own dojo. I'm just going through the final preparations to make it happen. What about you, though? How's life living on the east coast?" he asked softly.
Trini sighed deeply. "Honestly, um, living in Boston was great at first, but things have changed. I went from being almost married to getting jilted at my own wedding."
"What?! Are you serious?!" Jason exclaimed, not believing what he was hearing. He really thought she was on her honeymoon.
"Dead serious. Russell, my now ex-fiancé, told all of our guests, the wedding party, my family, his family and our friends that he has fallen in love with a girl he was on and off with for years and he plans to marry her instead. I slapped him hard across his face and ran right out of the church, still in my wedding gown and ended up back at my apartment. I sat in my darkened living room; nursing a bottle of wine and had mascara all over my face. I was a total mess," she explained, sniffing softly.
"Oh, honey. I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?" he asked genuinely. He never really cared for Russell (given that they never met face to face) and for him to break his best friend's heart made him hate the handsome lawyer even more. It was a good thing he was on the west coast because had he decided at the last minute to attend her wedding, he would've taken every single opportunity to punch that sucker dead in his face.
However, as we all know, Jason's not that type of guy to pick fights with anyone.
"Just hearing your voice right now is comforting, Jase. I really appreciate you calling me," she said, smiling through her tears.
"It's no problem. So, have you seen him since the wedding?" he asked, trying to do the best he can to be there for her.
"Earlier today, I went to the law office to give them my notice. I didn't wanna be subjected to being pitied, so I decided to resign. I ran into Russell as I was heading towards the elevators and we exchanged some heated words. Turns out, he never really loved me. I feel like such a damn fool. All the wonderful times we spent together apparently didn't mean anything to him. So I slapped him again, took the engagement right off my finger and threw it right at him. As I stepped into the elevator, he had the nerve to ask me if we could be at least be friends?" Trini snorted, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"He wants to be friends? What a fucking joke, Tri. I take it you said no, right?"
"I said we can be friends...but not with each other. That was the last time I saw him. As far as I'm concerned, Vivian can have him. I'm moving on."
"Good for you, Trini. You deserve better, anyway. So what happens now? What's your next step?"
She sighed again. "Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm coming home, Jason."
"Y-you are?" he asked, his voice cracking in shock and excitement.
"Yes, I am. Kim's staying in Boston a little bit longer to help me pack up and move. Most of my stuff has been put in storage and the movers are coming to pick up my furniture sometime tomorrow. I should be back in Angel Grove within the next week or so. I have still some things left to sort out," she explained, holding the phone against her ear while she poured another glass of wine into her drinking glass.
"Well, I hope you know that Adam and Tanya are the only ones living in Angel Grove. With the exception of Billy and Kat, everyone else has spread out all over California," he reminded her.
"I know. Kim told me when she came by my apartment to comfort me, but I'm still moving back to California. If everything works out according to plan, like I said before, I'll be back in AG within the next week or so. I hope to see everyone again."
Jason grinned against his cordless phone. He felt like a kid getting his favorite Christmas present. Just when he thought all hope was lost, he's getting another opportunity to tell Trini how he feels. But, for right now, all he could do is be her friend because she has a lot of healing to do and the last thing he wants to come off like a jerk. Until she's ready to love again, all he can do is be there for her.
"Well, I can't wait to see you again, Tri. Until we meet again, take care of yourself, okay? And tell Kim to call me. We both know she can't keep a secret to save her life," he laughed softly.
She had to laugh herself as she wiped her face with her hand. "You're right, Jase. Our little pink ranger lives for gossip. I'll be sure to tell her you called. Thanks for calling me, Rex."
"Anytime, Tiger. Goodnight," he said before she heard the phone click, signaling that he has hung up. She sat her phone back down on the coffee table and kept her smile on her face. Hearing his voice proved be to comforting and refreshing after what she's been through within the last nine days.
Trini grabbed the remaining photos of her and Russell and tossed them right inside the fire, watching them burn. Then, wiping her face with her hands, she got up off the carpet floor and decided she needed some much needed sleep. Getting comfortable on the sofa, she pulled a huge comforter from behind her and wrapped it over her body, then she laid her head on the pillows and closed her eyes.
She once again dreamed about Jason's deep, husky, sexy voice comforting her.
Meanwhile, back in Malibu, Jason started making some phone calls. He's gonna need all the help he could get to make Trini's homecoming be a memorable one.
And he really couldn't wait to see her again.
