Chapter Three
Four POV:
I was intrigued when Tris was confused about the Pit, I mean EVERYONE knows about it, haha. She's so beautiful and her hand fits perfectly in mine or you could say that my hand engulfs hers. Wait, what am I saying? I barely know her. Oh no, I don't even know her name! Marcus barely says it. "What's your name?" I ask as we near our destination.
"Haha, it took you that long to figure out that you didn't ask." She replies.
Before I shoot out a comeback, she said, "Beatrice but call me Tris."
So, Tris, you don't have any relatives? Anyone you can go to? It breaks my heart that you're sleeping on the ground while Peter and his rent-a-homies are lurking in the shadows."
"Oh, so you do have a heart! I never knew that!" She smirks. I roll my eyes. "And no, I don't… They're either deceased, living on the other side of the world or not in contact with my… f-family."
"That must be tough" I comment. We reach the Pit and Tris sighs with relief.
"OMIGOD, I'm starving… You ARE paying, right?"
"No, everything's free(!) Of course I am." I say with a small smile.
Tris POV:
Wow, he cares? He's so handsome and his eyes are stunning even in the dark… Am I going crazy?
Tobias orders burger and chips with a slice of cake along with a glass of Coke. I devour everything and gulp down the Coke in one go.
"Wooow, you were serious! You're like an animal!" Tobias remarks with a chuckle.
I roll my eyes and resist a small smile. "So Tobias, what were you really doing at 2am in the morning?"
"Don't call me Tobias in public, call me Four and I'm sure that's none of your business." He replies in a low voice. I flinch at this, wondering why the sudden change.
We sit in awkward silence for a while but Tob-Four breaks it. "You finished?" I nod, not trusting my voice and blink back tears.
"Let's get out of here then." We get up and I follow silently whle tears stream down. I sense him turning so I wipe the tears off quickly. "You were crying." Tobias said instantly.
I stared at him. "How did you know?"
"It was a guess... I didn't really know until you told me." He said matter-of-factly.
"Darn." I said.
"So why were you crying?" Tobias asked.
"You got tough all of a sudden." I said. "Right after you called me beautiful." I added in a small voice.
"Sorry... there are personal problems that I don't feel comfortable talking about." He said.
His eyes caught a girl coming across the street. "HIDE!" He hissed. We hid in an alley.
The girl walked past. "What was that about?" I asked him as we came out of hiding.
"Girls m*** me." Tobias said grimly. "They think I'm hot."
"Don't always think they're wrong." I said before I thought. "Wait, I meant..."
Four POV:
Did she just call me hot? Or did she not?
"Wait, I meant that... oh, dash it all." she ended. "Why am I even trying? He'd never be attracted to me." She muttered to herself.
Yep, she just called me hot. But for some reason, I didn't mind at all. I mean, she was pretty, and a real pretty girl calling me hot? Fine with me. Those other girls weren't pretty like Tris.
Wait, why was I calling Tris pretty? What was wrong with me?
"Well, this is my stop." She stopped in front of a deserted yard. I shook my head.
"No." I said. "You're not staying here."
"Huh?"
"I'm going to pay for you to stay at the Pit's hotel. No protesting, I've made up my mind."
Tris POV:
I can't believe it! He dished out $400 dollars from his pocket and gave them all to me so I could stay as long as I wanted.
"Oh, thank you!" I hugged him.
He seemed tense at first, but then he melted into my embrace. "I belong here." I thought. "In his arms."
He led me to the Pit's hotel, then went back to the house. I waved, and went in.
As I went to bed, I was wondering why the heck Tobias was up at 2 am... and why in the world he'd bother himself about me.
