Hey, sorry for not uploading this, I accidentally pressed delete so I had to start all of over. So, here's the new chapter! I'm pretty excited and hopefully this will be a whole lot better.
Tris
"Beatrice?" A voice asks.
Through slitted eyes, I see a figure of a woman. My vision begins to blur.
"Beatrice, you have to be brave. You have to be brave. Please, that's all I ask of you but just please be brave. And look out for your brother. I—" The woman is crying by now.
She tries to stifle and swallow her sobs.
"Please forgive me." She chokes.
There's a screech of pain and a loud cry. Then there's a thud.
My eyes begin to close. All I can hear is a faint buzz.
My eyes snap wide open. But quickly shut as a bright white light blinds me for the moment. It takes me awhile to open them up again. I bring my hand up to try and block the light, but hot pain sears through my arm.
I silently curse as the vivid memories from last night flash in my mind.
"Tris!? Are you up yet?" I hear my best friend, Christina call out as she bangs on my door.
"I'm up! Just a little sore from last night." I yell back.
"You're telling me. The guys last night were crazy! 'Hey, you like pizza, 'cause I want a piece of that ass!' Seriously though, pizza?"
I chuckle as I slowly and carefully get up from my bed.
"Well, I'm gonna head out. Lynn should be here by ten to pick you up." Christina shouts.
"Kay,"
I slowly walk towards my small bathroom as I hear the front door open, close and lock. I gently close and lock the bathroom door before taking two fluffy white towels, a blow-dryer, and a hair straightener. I carefully set them on the counter before turning on the shower.
Once I'm dome straightening my dull blonde hair, I hold my towel close to my chest as I slowly unlock the door. I grab some undergarments, a black tank top, black leggings and my purple Bambi knitted sweater. I throw on some black Toms before opening my bedroom door. I walk down the old small hallway before turning left towards the kitchen. I make my way over to the fridge before taking out some Belgian waffles and popping them into the toaster.
Suddenly, the door opens. A small woman with a buzz cut and a simple hoodie and jeans, waltzes in.
"Beatrice— oh, good morning Tris." Lynn grins as she slams the door shut.
"Morning," I mumble.
"So you'd never believe who I found at the park." Lynn says, breaking into a smile before laughing.
"Who?" I ask.
"My sister, Zeke and Uriah."
I gasp. "Really?"
She nods, not able to wipe the goofy smile off of her face.
"I already set plans to meet them next Friday after your shift." Lynn says, opening the fridge.
I nod, not really looking forward to next Friday. Lets just say that I'm not really happy with life. I've never been happy with life. I mean, who would be when their family has been missing ever since she or he could remember? Who would be happy with life when they have the worst job ever? Who would be happy when their partner doesn't want any kids, when you're dying to have a family?
Hopefully, Friday will be... Different. But, I've learned from past experiences to not get your hopes up too high. Or too low.
I'm soooo sorry for the short chapter, I got out of school pretty late because I had to stay back and help (against my will) and I remembered that I said that Thursday I would upload the chapter so here it is. Crappy, I know. But the next chapter will be better than ever which will be posted by next Friday. :D
Have a great day/morning/evening!
