‘Hey, not that fast, you are not leaving me all alone like that now, arent you.’ ‘You see how I can do that’, she replied and wanted get away. He hold her back. Trish looked at him. ‘Let go’, she said. He looked at her, holding her upper arm even harder. ‘If you can pay him such attention, you actually could pay me the same.’ Saying that he pushed his lips hard on hers. Trish tried to push him away but he hold her tide like a vise. She had no chance to escape. Now he even grab her breasts and pushed her against the wall and kissed her again. Trisha had no chance to act in any way now. Suddenly everything was over. He let go of her as would have nothing happened. ‘Not bad girl, not bad.’ Then he turned away and left her back in astonishment and anger. A tear rolled down her cheek. She sat back on the bench. She felt anger and helplessness. Never in all her life had she had to experience anything like that. And by far, she had experienced a lot yet in her young life. What a birthday, what a mess.
‘So, that is what you are after!’ Another angry voice and a shadow appeared next to her. She looked up, trying to hold back her tears. It was John. She was not able to say anything at all. Trisha had lost all her strength to fight. She simply looked at him disbelievingly. ‘I knew that there had to be anything false with you!’ he kept on yelling at her. ‘What do you want, money, popularity! What!’ he kept on affronting her. ‘Leave my brother alone. If I should ever see you around him ever again, you will realise what it means to mess with the Griffins. He earns somebody more honest and not as cheap as you!’
Finally Trisha found her voice again. ‘Hold it!’ she shouted back at him. ‘How you insult me like that not knowing all the facts! If you had seen everything you would have realised that he forced me to kiss him!’ ‘Sure you are going to say something like this when somebody caught you doing this smeary game you are playing! If you want to kiss somebody why not try a real man!’ John kept on swearing. ‘I did not want to kiss this, this..!’ Trisha was looking for a word do discribe her feeling. ‘Stop lying at me, I have seen you two together and you looked quiet familiar. Don’t tell me you don’t know this guy!’ ‘I did not say that I do not know him, and it does not mean that I kiss everybody that I know’. ‘That you are still able to look me straight into my face, unbelievable! You bitch, you you! I knew it was a mistake’, John’s voice was as cold as ice. His eyes were spraying flashes. There was danger coming from him which made Trisha shiver and scared her. She took a step back but there was just this stupid wall again. Exact the same spot where Mike before took advantage of her. Now she could not hold back her tears. Now it was defenately enough. ‘I am not discussing anything that actually is none of his business with a person that does not know all the facts and all of it keeps on insulting me like that!’ Throwing this at his head she tried to escape again. But this time as well she did not make it. John hold her back as Mike had before. ‘Let me go!’ ‘You wanted to challenge a Griffin that is what you get!’ John pulled her towards him and kissed her hard and demanding. This time as well Trisha tried to push him away too, but it was the same as before, she had no chance. ‘Now leave and never get close to Chris again. Or you will wish never to be born!’ He pushed her away like he would have touched dirt. Trishas eyes were filled with tears. Demonstrative she wished with her hands over her lips to wipe away what was left of the kiss. John looked at her despising and hateful. She could not bare being around him any longer, she run off. Tears were rolling down her checks now. She could not help it. Once again she had reached a limit in her life. She passed Chris, Marie and Marc. She didn’t realise it. Chris looked at her. Then he looked at the direction where she came from and saw John entering the room, coming towards him.
‘What did you do!’ Chris asked John. ‘None of your business, little brother, but believe me, she is not what she pretends to be. So just let her go. She is a false little snake only after your money!’ he said to him. ‘What did you do!’ Chris asked again, trying to hold back his fear and anger. ‘She was unfaithfull to you kissing this other guy on the balcony’, John said, slowly calming down. ‘Which guy?’ Chris wanted to know. ‘Mike’, John said and was pointing him to Chris. He looked at him and all his colors dissapeared. ‘What did you do?’ he said disbelieving at John. ‘I gave her a lection and wished her to hell. You earn something much better than this person.’ John was still in rage.
Chris could not believe what just had happened. ‘Oh my gosh, you, you..!’ He wanted to run after Trish but John hold him back. ‘Let me!’ Chris yelled at John now and freed himself of John. He ran after Trisha. John, Marie and Marc stood there, all the attention of the party guest on them. John mumbled something and asked Marie to dance with him.
