A/N: HELLO! This is my first fanfic I ever wrote, so I am open to constructive criticism and any ideas that can improve this story. :) I was inspired to write this Divergent fanfic after reading so many amazing Modern AU Divergent FanFics. :D! So, this story is going to be one of those stories where Tris and Tobias are best friends when they were younger and go through the struggles of growing up. Also I decided to ignore that age gap between the "gang" (Tris, Tobias, Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Shauna, Zeke) and other characters (Peter, Drew, Molly, Eric, Lauren, Nita) so everyone is going to be the same age.
This story starts off with Tris and the others being twelve years old, plus Caleb is going to be seven years older so he is nineteen years old. Everything will be in Tris's POV, unless I state otherwise. I hope that clears some things up if the story doesn't make sense. NOW! I'm going to end this A/N! XD I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE FIRST CHAPTER OF NEW FAMILY, NEW LIFE, NEW LOVE!
~Chapter One~
June 7th, Night-Time
Beep... Beep...Beep...
That is all I hear right now. I try to open my eyes but I am immediately greeted by bright, blinding light. I let my eyes adjust to the light. Once my eyes adjust to this blinding light, I realize I'm in a white room. A hospital room? is the first thought that passes through my mind. Why am I in a hospital room? is all I could think as I start to panic. I frantically look around the room, looking for the door. I spot the door in the far corner and all I want to do is get out of here. So I try to get up, but I instantly fall back down onto the bed as pain shoots through my entire body. Why does my body feel so sore? What happened to me? Wait! Where are Mom, Dad, and Caleb? Did something happen-
My train of thoughts are stopped when a nurse with beautiful green eyes and brown hair walks into the room and she checks all the machines around me. A heart monitor! That is where the beeping is coming from! Wait, why am I hooked up to a heart monitor? Did something serious happen to me?!
"Oh, you are finally awake! How are you feeling? Do feel any pain?" the nurse asks nicely.
"I'm fine, just a little bit sore. Why am I here? Where are my parents and brother?" I ask her.
Right as the question flows out of my mouth, her face immediately drops; she looks at me with pity and sadness. "You don't remember, do you? You and your family were in a serious car accident-" she starts. Suddenly, the events on the night replay in my mind.
~*FLASHBACK* ~
The family and I were in the car, going back home after eating out. All of us were laughing at something Dad had said. We were so happy and having fun. Then the unexpected happened, we were spinning and we landed in ditch. When I gained consciousness, I looked around and saw a bloody Caleb with blood running down his face and he was shielding me. He was breathing very heavily as if he couldn't breathe at all. All the air bags were deployed and all the windows were broken. I gazed behind Caleb and saw Dad shielding Mom, like how Caleb was shielding me, except Mom and Dad weren't moving.
"Beatrice, you have to get out of here," Caleb said, heavily breathing.
"I can't leave you guys here! Come on! We have to get out of the car so we can get Mom and Dad out too!" I pleaded with him.
Caleb shook his head. "No, we can't. I can barely move my legs. Mom and Dad are dead, Beatrice. You are the only one not badly injured. You can escape. Get out of here and live, if not for yourself then do it for us. Do it for Mom, Dad, and I. Live your life, enjoy it, and we are always with you. Remember that Mom, Dad, and I will always love you. NOW GO!" he yelled as he pushed me out of the broken window.
Just as he pushed me out of the window, the car burst up in flames. I screamed out and cry out to them as I watch them and the car slowly burn. I heard sirens in the background and feel someone pick me up. I heard voices all around me, but I just watched the firemen try to put out the fire.
They left me. How did this happen to us? WHY did this happen to us? Why is the world so cruel? I'm all alone now. I can't believe this. My mind started to get clouded as I let the darkness consume me.
~*END OF FLASHBACK* ~
I am sitting on the bed in horror as I finally remember what happened to my family. I start to shake with terror as tears run down my face like waterfalls. I am alone in this cruel world now. I have no family, no place to call home, no one to love. So now there is no point in life for me. I still can't believe this; I can't-my parents and Caleb are dead. This has to be some horrible dream that I will wake up from soon. That has to be it! But tears continue to run down my face. I bury my face in my hands as tears run down my face. I press the heels of my palms to my eyes to prevent tears from running but they just continue to fall. I felt a light pressure on my back, rubbing circles in a soothing manner, which I assume is the nurse. Soon my eyelids start to feel heavy and my body felt like lead, slowly dragging me down into the darkness, and I know that I have cried myself to sleep.
I never want to wake up again, but the nurses have something different in mind. They keep on waking me up so they feed me and keep me alive. The thing is that I don't want to be alive. I want to die so I can go up to Heaven with my family. I just want my family back. I don't have any family on this miserable planet and to prove my point, no one has visited me in the two days I have been here. This is my second day in this Hell without my fam-
But my thoughts are cut short as I watch her walk into the room...
So here is the first chapter of New Family, New Life, New Love! I hope you guys enjoy it. I know I left it at it a cliffhanger, but that always makes a story more interesting right? Right!
