Our Little Secret
Chapter 1: Time has its Way
Tris' POV
I am now an official member of Dauntless. The ceremony was just a few hours ago, but because Christina has been bugging me about the welcoming party, it seems like it's been forever. She has tested so many different eye makeup and blushes, and tried straightening my hair. Emphasis on "tried". I kept squirming and telling her no, so she ended up curling it. It didn't look natural, bouncy and loose, but I tried to forget that as I pulled on the outfit that we had bought earlier that day. She was pulling me out the door.
"I swear, if we are late-"
"Why is it a big deal if we are late again?"
Christina rolled her eyes, as if explaining something for the hundredth time. "I told you, Will said that there is always something exciting that starts before the party. So if you don't mind walking while putting your shoes on, that'd be great!"
Letting a sigh, knowing I am not going to win this battle, I take my heels in one hand lock the door with the other. I am half-jumping, half-trying to put on my shoe down the stairs when I start to wobble. And then I start to fall. I never had been very graceful.
"Keep up! Uriah's place is on the other side of the Pit so we have to-"
She doesn't finish, mainly because I am falling towards her. She moves out of the way just in time for me to fall on the last step.
"Thanks for the help. I'm glad you would catch me if I fall again. Oh, wait. YOU DIDN'T!"
"We don't have time for this! Get up, and keep moving!" I roll my eyes, and get up.
We make it there, but we're late, according to Christina. Will said we missed the beginning; Uriah had "kicked off" the party with sliding down the stairs with a mattress.
"Oh, really? I did the same thing on our way here, but without the mattress. It was fun!" I say, the sarcasm is hard not to hear in my voice. I hear familiar voices, but not the one I want to. I turn around, looking for him. Sighing, I turn to the current conversation, something about our new dauntless jobs. Barely listening, I start to tune everything out. I can't believe he's not here. I was sure he would come.
"You look… Stunning." A familiar voice whispers in my ear.
"Four! You came!" I say, not hiding the smile on my face. "Of course, why wouldn't I come? I wanted to congratulate all of my past initiates." He says, then coming closer, "besides, there is this one girl, she is beyond beautiful and just kicked everyone's ass in rankings." I can't help but blush. He sees this, as does everyone else. They are now staring, still in shock of what happened at the ceremony.
"Do you think a hug would be too much?" I look deep into his eyes, the kind, soft, deep blue eyes I had fell for. "You know what? I don't even care." I lock my arms around his neck and pull him towards me. Our lips meet, and it feels ten times better knowing we don't have to hide us anymore.
That kiss has been the talk of Dauntless. When I walked back to my apartment, people just looked. I hate being the center of attention, so that made it awkward.
Tobias tries to start up conversation, not about him or me, but it's not working. Just then, the music starts playing. It's loud; others might think it's noisy and annoying. We all start dancing. Well, it's technically not dancing, mostly jumping and moving. Uriah comes up to us, holding a drink in his hand. He then, oh so kindly, asks us if we want one.
"I'll have one. Tris?" Tobias has that look of almost concern, but then I see the caring behind that. "Sure. Yeah, I'm now Dauntless, right?" I say, forcing a smile. Uriah walks, or more like stumbles, into the kitchen, then brings out two bottles. Tobias opens them both and hands me one. I take a drink, not caring that it burns. I actually like the taste, so I take another. I look up and see Tobias smiling.
"What? What is it?"
"I never knew you had a very strong taste for alcohol." He says, still smiling. I roll my eyes and finish the drink, surprisingly fast. Just then, Will walks up to us. I look up to say hi, but he stops me. "Christina needs your help."Confused with what she could possibly need help with Tobias and me, I ask, "With what?" Will shrugs. "I don't know, but she told me she needs you in the bathroom." I look up at Tobias, giving him a look that I will be back.
I walk into the bathroom. I look around, not noticing her at first. Once I see her, I run towards her. She has obviously crying. I bend down so we are at eye level. "What's up with you, Christina? You've been acting weird the past couple of days. And don't lie to me." "Please, don't tell anyone. I don't even have the guts to tell Will." She says this while fighting a sob. This worries me, as I have only seen her cry once before.
"Hey, you can tell me." She shakes her head, and I sigh. I have to make her crack. "We aren't leaving until you do." She takes a deep breath, and begins to choke on a sob. "I- I'm so stupid. I can't even imagine- Why didn't we- God, he's going to be pissed when I tell- " "You want to finish any of those sentences?" I say, trying to lighten the mood. The look she gives me suggests that I wasn't doing well. "C'mon, Chris. I tell you everything." "Except that you are dating Four."
"Am I ever going to live that one down?"
"Probably not." She starts a smile. "Well, as you know Will and I are dating, and well we've kind of been, you know, intimate." She pauses, searching my face for something. My face is expressionless, though. I think I know what coming next.
"Tris, I'm pregnant."
Tobias' POV
Tris has gone to help Christina. It's been almost a half an hour, and I'm getting worried. This must have been something important. As I get up to get them, Tris walks in with a slouched Christina. They have obviously both been crying, though the fake smile Tris has on begs to differ.
"Hey, what have you girls been up to?" I try to smile, but Tris just says, "Not the time." And speed walks towards the kitchen, dragging Christina along. I knew nobody else would be in the kitchen, since it seems the whole faction is in Uriah's living room. I lean against the door, making sure it doesn't move, as I try to make out what they are saying.
"Tell him. He's going to find out." "Not here, he's half-drunk anyway. I'll tell him tomorrow." "No, you won't. I have to be here to make sure you do. Now, act Dauntless and tell him!"
What is Christina hiding? And who is she telling it to? I look up to see that the door is no longer closed, as I look up to see an annoyed Tris and a nervous Christina. Suddenly, Tris stops, scans the room for a minute, then grabs Christina's wrist and walks towards the middle of the dance floor. She whispers something into Will's ear, and the three of them walk into the hallway. I push pasted the people on the dance floor and walk into the hallway. Christina looks as if she is going to break down in sobs, but Tris just pinches the bridge of her nose, what she does when she has a headache. They only one who notices I'm here is Will, and when he sees me, his face relaxes.
"Hey, Four." "Hey guys. What's going on?" Will looks at me with a confused face, knowing that he must not know anything about this either. Tris gives Christina a look, and I feel as if they are talking to each other with face expressions. Christina takes a deep breath, and looks at Will.
"I wasn't feeling too well about two weeks ago. I started to throw up, and couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat anything, and I always had a headache. It got worse as the week went on, so I went to the emergency room one night after you were asleep. They ran some tests, and they told me that I was pregnant." She says that last part so quietly, I didn't think Will heard her at first. But then his jaw drops, and he shakes his head.
"No, no no no no. This can't be happening. How did this happen? You were on the pill, I used protection. It was almost impossible!" Will has lost the shock in his face, but it is replaced with fear. "We can't be parents! We aren't even seventeen!" "I know, Will. I've been… Looking at other choices." He starts to walk away, but she grabs his wrist. "They have adoption, Will! And…" "Don't say it. Don't you dare say it." He pulls away and walks down the hall, to his new apartment. Christina walks after him.
"Well, I can honestly say I did not see that coming."
Tris' POV
I lean back against the wall. How could they have been so careless? Does she realize what she has done? Taking care of another living, breathing human, at sixteen? Tobias sees me thinking and walks over to where I am standing. I wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug. I'm glad we don't have to go through this, I think in my head. I could not imagine the pressure for her. But Will was not being very understanding about this either. He almost sounded like he was blaming Christina for what happened.
Tobias says, interrupting my thoughts, "Hey, you want to go back to the party?" I nod. I could use another beer.
We walk back in, greeted by a loud crowd of Dauntless, dancing to some old music that Uriah had found that morning. I grab Tobias and pull him into the kitchen. "What are we doing in here? The party is out there." I roll my eyes. "I know that, but I'm getting a drink. Want another?" He nods, and I see his mouth coming to a smirk. I take out two bottles from the fridge and he opens them. Without thinking, I take a big swig, probably half of the bottle. "Slow down there, Tris." But I didn't want to slow down. In fact, I chug the rest of the bottle and open the fridge to get a new one. I feel Tobias' hand stopping the door from opening any more. "You might need to switch to water." He looks at me, concerned. "I'm fine. Really. I've only had two. What's one more?" He sighs, slowly removing his hand. I open it and we walk back into the party. I fast-paced song comes on, and he grabs my hand, pulling me towards the dance floor. We start dancing, and he puts his free hand on my waist.
I keep drinking, and so does he. After a while, the room starts to sway from side to side. I giggle, wondering why I have three hands. I turn around, and someone is standing behind me. He looks familiar, but I can't remember his name. To-Tombias? No. Oh, wait. A number! Five? I giggle, thinking of how silly it is to have a number as a name. Five notices and asks me what's so funny. "Your name, it's a number! What does that even mean, Five?" He looks around, and then sighs. "You've had one too many drinks. It's Four, Tris." "Fourtris? That's even weirder!" "Come on, let's go." He then picks me up, and it feels like I'm flying when we are walking down the hallway. I giggle; his hands are right above the hem of my pants, below my shirt. I start to feel ticklish, and start laughing uncontrollably. Fourtris, or Five, or whatever his name was, digs around for something in his pocket and opens the door. He lays me down on the bed, and I almost instantly fall asleep.
