Hi Darlings I hope you like this! I loved your reviews! I read all of them!
Four Eaton
My heart stomps. A body flys toward the ground. She lands right in front of me.
Then I hear her voice. She sings like an angel and their is no doubt. Her extravagance flows through the air. Every note, beat, and rest flows to me. She sings with fierceness.
Every word she speaks means something. She is connected to this song.
I know she is the girl I heard in the recording studio. Her voice is just the same. Bold.
Something about her makes me want to wrap my arms around her. Hold her tightly and pressing my lips to her soft ones.
Wait! I can't do that! I am in love with Dauntless Beauty! But this girl, something draws me. I feel like I know her. I can't put my finger on it.
All I know is I want to kiss her. Kiss the girl hiding in a hoodie and sunglasses.
Beatrice Prior 10:44 AM Dorm room, November 8th
The light peeks through my shades. Shinning into my furniture.
I am wrapped in the sheets and comforter. Sprawled across my bed I lay awake.
I woke up to Al singing. He is in the kitchen making French toast and humming Problem.
The smell of brown sugar and cinnamon fills my nose. I slowly drift into the kitchen.
"Hello Sleeping Beauty!" He sings.
"Did you make coffee?" He hands me a cup and creamer. I smile a thank you and pour the cream.
Al has stayed over most of the time. He has come over all this week and talked with me. We talk about the Masquerade, Four, my album, Six, and him. So he just naturally has crashed on my couch a couple times. He said and I quote "Your couch is comfier then my damn school supplied bed. Is this like a Tempurpedic couch!?"
"How did you sleep? Did you dream of Four again?" His eye brows quirk up.
"I slept good and that's for me to know."
"Hmm so you did?" His lips form a smug grin as he sips tea.
"Fine. Why are you drinking tea?"
"Honey I have standards. I don't drink your sludge called coffee." Al says with his usual sass
"Prima Donna." I mumble
"Damn Straight!" He yells and then tends to the French toast. I do have to say Al is scary in the kitchen. I am surprised that nothing has blown up yet. Tuesday he got my toaster to shoot flames.
I am awaken from thought by the front door opening slightly.
"Knock knock! Anybody homo?"
"Greetings Lady Assface!"
Lynn walks in the door and stops. She sees Al cooking and looks at me, then to Al, and back to me.
"Why is he cooking? He made a toaster shoot flames!"
"I woke up to food Lynn. Unless he broke something, I'm not complaining."
Al gives me a plate of French toast and I fend off Lynn.
"Make Lynn some too. Before I stab her with this butter knife."
"Come on. That might not be so bad. So what if her photography career is shot. It would make my week!" Lynn scowls at Al and he returns the gesture. Not long and both of them are filling their faces with food.
"So Tris how did it go?"
"Fine."
"Fine!? Tris don't lie to Lady Assface!" Al interrupts me.
"As I was saying, until Lord Dipshit interrupted me. It was fine at first, and then I had a great time. I wore glasses and my six shirt so no one knew it was me or dauntless beauty."
"Tris didn't even sing till the end. We sat on a ledge the whole time. Tris then looked at me and jumped."
"What!?" Lynn screams.
"I KNOW! She just jumped down into the singing. She sang all of Break Free and everyone's mouth dropped. Lauren announced her the winner. And they found out she was Six. So they had Tris sing Problem. We both crushed it and stayed till Four walked towards her. Then Tris shouted she was going."
"Tris why did you leave? Was it because of Four?"
"Yes. Lynn I just don't want him finding out it's me. He knows Six and Dauntless Beauty, but not me. I'm saving him the trouble of dealing with me." I take another bite of my food.
"Tris he has been trying to find you all week! He obviously likes you!" Al shakes me when he says this.
"For once I agree with Lord Dipshit. I am friends with Four and my sister is one of his best friends. He can't stop thinking about you!"
"Both of you will hold your tongues. He will get over me. I am just saving him and me from the definite rejection." Both of them groan.
"You know I have never seen you two agree. Are we growing to like each other?" The ends of my lips quirk up.
"Ewwwwwwww!" They both scream. Lynn starts gagging and Al shivers from the thought. While I am dying on the floor from laughter.
"Get up before you pee your pants Tris." I stand up and grab the dishes. Rinsing them off and putting in the dish washer.
"So what's our plans today Lord and Lady?"
"Oh that reminds me! Tori wanted me to tell you about a party. Tonight you have to go to a party for your album."
"Yay! We get to dress Trissy!" Al squeals.
"No slutty outfits otherwise I'm fine with that. It is only one outfit right?"
"Yes. We aren't going to have you change. If we do it's for a performance." Good the photo shoot was scary.
"Who gets to choose my outfit?" I say shutting the dishwasher.
"You do. Which means Lord Dipshit." Al grins madly when she says this.
"I have rules. Nothing too girly, something to cover my shoulders, and as I said before nothing slutty."
"Do you even have faith in me Trissy?"
"No." Both Lynn and I say.
"I didn't ask you Lady Assface."
"No one asks, they just receive."
Four Eaton 12:35 November 8th, The Diner.
"A burger with fries please." The waitress leaves with our orders. While our friends and I sit in our corner booth. Zeke and Uriah are arguring, Shauna and Marlene are talking, Lynn is trying to ignore Christina, Will is reading, and I just sit. Zeke and Uriah finally stop and look at me.
"I've got it dude!"
"What Zeke?"
"So we shall have a party in The Pit. For Chasm's new album, but you get to sing for your girl. She will be won over and we will call her to the stage! Or find her and not have Uriah be a dumb ass!" Zeke glares at his brother.
"Hey! I said I was sorry."
"What do the ladies think?" Zeke looks at Shanua when he asks this. I wish he would grow a pair and ask her. She likes him just as much.
"I think it's cute. Romantic. You girls agree?" Shauna and Marlene nod at Christina. Lynn looks at the ground. She looks like she could burst into laughter at any moment.
"Lynn you have been quiet? About now you would say something on the lines of I don't care." Shauna says.
"Oh sorry not paying attention." I can tell she's lying and so can Shauna.
"Why didn't you get anything to eat?"
"Already ate Shauna. I had French toast." She takes a sip of her water.
"How?! You only have a microwave. Oh my god! Did the cafeteria have french toast and I missed it?!" Uriah practically screams to the world.
"No I had breakfast with a friend."
"You have friends other then us?" Zeke gets a smack from Lynn.
"Yes I do. Is this so hard to believe?"
"Yes it is. Lynn you just don't seem so friendly." Christina says flat out. She comes from a family who speaks their mind. So Christina usually speaks before she thinks.
Lynn then picks up her phone. Her mouth drops to the floor and she is trying to contain laughter.
"See you guys later. I have to go!" Lynn throws a five on the table and starts running. She starts bursting into laughter when she glances at her phone.
"That was weird. She never mentioned anything or anyone to me." Shauna looks a bit hurt from her sister.
The waitress then arrives with some of our food. Uriah and Zeke start shoveling it in till Will speaks.
"Tori texted me, we have a party to go to."
"What is the party for? Our new album?" I ask.
"No it's for the new artist, 6. The girl who beat us last night." The angelic 6.
"Oh the girl who beat us and the girls. On another note. So are we at all preforming?" Uriah asks between shovels.
"Nope. We just get to come and attend. Then listen to her maybe."
"Are we allowed to go?" Marlene speaks up.
"It's not our party sorry."
"That's fine we will just have a girls night." Of course Christina would say that.
Beatrice Prior 12:45
"Did I miss it?" Lynn pants from running.
"No he's still changing. Hide in the corner, or behind the breakfast bar." Lynn takes her spot behind me. Camera in hand and some cameras stashed around the room. I just sit on the couch waiting for him.
My bedroom door swings open suddenly. A leg is kicked out wearing a red heel. Then we see it.
Al walks out twirling and posing. He is wearing a red sequin floor length dress. The dress has a slit in the side showing his legs. Al also put on clip earrings and lipstick. Next thing I know he pulls out a black feather boa.
I am dying of laughter from Al dancing and posing. How is Lynn not?!
"Don't you think I look Fabulous!?" I barley can speak from laughter.
"YOU LOOK LIKE A DRAG QUEEN!" By now I am rolling on the floor from laughter.
"Bitch please! A drag queen wishes they look this good." He flips his boa and walks out.
I look to see Lynn with a mouthful of her shirt. She is using it to control her laughter. I help Lynn pick up the cameras and get her out before he sees her.
"This is definitely going on YouTube." She says shutting the door.
Definitely is right.
Four Eaton 9:14 PM November 8th
I am the first to step out of the limo. Followed by Zeke, Will, and then Uriah.
My ears fill with screaming. On both sides of us stand fans and shouting at us.
Chanting our names and singing our songs.
The piercing sound fills my ears so much I barely hear Will.
"Let's move away before my eardrums burst." All four of us move to the pictures. Taking group and individual pictures.
Tori decided to have us dress in suit coats with casual button shirts. She sent it over to our room. I'm not sure if she trusts our taste in clothes. Okay, she just doesn't trust Uriah.
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to a reporter.
"Hi Mr. Eaton. Oh, hello Mr. Pedrad. Can I ask you some questions?" I feel Zeke's presence behind me. Then he comes to my side and nods at the reporter.
She's wearing a tight blue skirt with a white blouse. Her blonde hair is hanging loose in a bob.
"Is it true that you are writing again?" I nod and she smiles.
"May I ask what sparked your return Mr. Eaton?"
"A girl." Zeke answers for me.
"So it's true that you are seeing someone?"
"No, I am not seeing someone." I reply materfactly.
"He just has his eye on a girl. She is like no other." Zeke interjects.
"Oh, that's interesting to hear! Our readers will look foreword to The Chasm's new album. Thank you." The woman in the tight skirt walks towards the doors. With a smirk on her face. What did we do?
I feel a sudden jerk on my arm and I lunge foreword. Being pulled by Zeke into the party. I pull my arm out of his grasp and glare at him. He just holds his usual smug look.
"Liven up dude! It a party!" A waitress walks by with champagne. Zeke grabs two.
"And we are guests!" He cheers to me and drinks. I set my glass down on a table and don't drink it.
This may seem cheesy, but it reminds me of her. Bright, distinctive, unique, extravagant, perfect, and real. She lights up just like champagne bubbles. Bubbling out to the surface bringing others to smile.
Ugghhgg I'm terrible! I just compared the girl I love to alcohol!
Love?
I know that night I felt I loved her, or that I still do. But love? Love isn't an easy word.
Love is when you want the person for even their doubts, problems, and insecurities. When you are able to stand by them day or night. Thick or thin. From the beginning to the end.
When you love someone you know it. Your heart aches for them. Nothing feels the same without them. Your empty.
That's how I feel, since she left. Part of me feels empty. I never noticed it before, but now that I see it I want it.
I have always been the cold, tough, and quiet Four. With her I find myself smiling and carefree. She ignites a fire inside me.
This may sound weird. That I feel this way about her, yet I only saw her for a night. We only met once. But I can feel it inside me. A deep ache.
I can only hope she feels the same.
I am awaken by my thought by Zeke talking.
"Earth to Four!" Uriah and Will join him as well.
"What?" I snap at him.
"Uriah see I told you he's unhappy. It's your fault too bro." Uriah rubs his eyebrows.
"I have told you a million time I am sorry! I will be in your debt until we find her! I will make it my mission to find her!" Zeke grins madly at this.
"Then, my brother, we will throw a kick ass party. Next weekend is our party. We will find this girl. All of Dauntless will be invited. She will be easier to spot without a costume." I somewhat grin at this. The thought of finding her.
"Good Four! Yes good boy!" Zeke says in a baby voice. That drops my smile and brings it to a glare. His eyes go wide and he spins around while talking.
"I'm going to mingle. Bye!" He quickly paces away from me.
I make my way around the party talking to artists. Singers and producers all talk to me. Some congratulate me on writing again while others boast about themselves. Like usual.
Then a I hear something in another room. It's singing.
I can hear her sing. It must be 6.
She's singing a new song. It is about love and being with someone.
Her voice is different from last time I heard it. She is singing in a different range and tone. It's amazing!
She is one of those artists who can variate their voice. She is different and it's outstanding!
She sings deeply of love. Her words show she loves someone. That this song reminds her of them. I can tell my her singing she is confident and not afraid to show her emotions.
I tried to find her tonight when I wandered. But she was always out of sight.
I wish I could tell her how good she is.
I find myself walking towards the stage room. When I enter I feel something hit me. Or should I say someone.
Beatrice Prior November 8th
I wait in the recording room for Al and Lynn. They both are changing after getting me ready.
Tonight I am in a red strapless chiffon dress. It reaches a little above my knee with black tights underneath. A black belt with a gold piece wraps around my waist. Then a leather jacket drapes across my shoulders.
It's so cold out now that I don't have to worry about covering my scar. I just can use a jacket to cover my upper arm.
Al walks in first wearing a gray suit with black trimming. He has a white shirt underneath a black bow tie. Of course Al being who he is. He has a red pocket square.
Lynn is behind him in a sleeveless leather dress. The dress follows up to her neck into a color form. She has dark sunglasses sitting on top of her blonde pixie hair.
"Ready my lady?" Al holds his arm out to me.
"You betcha." I link my arm with his and walk out.
The limo waits for us at the curb. All three of us slide inside and go to the party.
"So what are you going to do? The Chasm is coming." I look at Lynn wide eyed.
"Shit! They are?" She nods at me.
"Then you and Al will be my look out. If Four is close we move to a different spot in the party."
"Tris you should just tell him."
"No Al."
"Tris."
"Al we discussed this earlier. No I'm not going to tell him. It may kill me, but its better if I don't." Both if them groan. I just roll my eyes at them.
"Did Tori tell you I'm singing."
"No!" They both look at me.
"Yep a new song. I wrote it for my full album."
"That's so great Tris. Look at you, miss star." Al embraces me into a hug. His arms wrapped around my back squishing me.
"Be careful Tris. His drag-queenness is contagious." I start to laugh with Lynn.
"You Told Her!?" He screeches.
"Nope. I saw and video tapped it. After some editing so did about a thousand on YouTube." Al's mouth drops.
"WHAT!? Lady Assface Your Going Down!" He lunges forward but I push him back.
"Al she didn't put your name. Also your famous on YouTube." Al ponders for a moment.
"I knew I would be famous one day." He dramatically flips his short hair.
"Yep Drag Queen Famous!" Al glares after Lynn's comment. The driver comes to a stop.
"Both of you stop we're here. Now call me Six not Tris." The driver opens our door and helps Lynn out. Al gets out on his own and then helps me.
All three of us walk past a crowd and they scream. I turn to see fans shouting my name. Never did I think that I could be like this. I always figured singing was a hobby. Not a profession for me.
I blow a kiss to them and wink. The crowd screams louder and we walk towards photographers. We link arms or pose together. Pictures are being taken rapidly. I then part from my friends and do a couple singles.
I see a limo pull up and hear fans scream. Then I see the door open and a familiar face step out.
I quickly walk into the party with Lynn and Al on my side.
"What was that? You yanked my arm?"
"One word Al. Four."
"Oops! From now on I will be on the look out captain." He salutes me and I roll my eyes.
I make my way through the party. Stopping and saying hello to different artists and producers.
So far I have avoided Four completely, but dodging him has put a dent in me. My feet are killing me. After so long heels take a toll.
"Four Alert! Keep moving straight then turn right!" Al whispers in my ear. I strut forward and turn right as he advised. Each step fills with pain.
I see a lounge area up ahead with a couch. My feet scream and move to the couch. I see an open spot and plop on the ground. Instantly I feel a relief flood from my feet. I toss my head back and enjoy the comfort.
"Your pathetic." I raise my eyebrows at his comment.
"You wore heels for less then ten minutes; now your Mr. Expert. It's been two hours since I have sat down, and I am wearing heels." I wiggle my feet in my shoes. Relieving tension from my feet.
"Here." Al hands me a glass of champagne. I put my hand up and stop him. Champagne has lost its touch without him.
"No thanks. Give it to Lynn, I'm sure she could use a drink."
"Darn right I could use that." Lynn grabs the glass and drinks it all. She then drinks all of Al's and gives him the glasses.
"How can you deal with most of these snooty bitches? I can barely deal with this one." She points to Al. He covers his mouth in a gasp.
"Not sure. Just help me up I see Four coming this way." I raise both of my hands in the air and receive a pulling. By the time I am on my feet Four is very close. I turn around quickly and try to escape his sight.
When I make it to the opposite side of the room I turn to see Four talking.
"Six!" I turn around to see Tori.
"So glad I caught you! Your up; go sing girl!" Tori shoves me towards the stage. She flaps her hand motioning for me to go. I smirk at her response and make my way to stage.
Ever since I danced with Four I have been flowing with lyrics. What happened that night has never happened before. Since it won't again, I turned it into music to remember.
The orchestrated beginning starts, and I search the crowd. I don't see Four in the front crowd. He must be on the other room. Good. He won't see me then.
We're a thousand miles from comfort,
We have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me,
There's no place I rather be
I would wait forever,
Exulted in the scene
As long as I am with you,
My heart continues to beat
With every step we take,
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same,
Gave you another name
Switch up the batteries
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be, oh oh
We staked out on a mission
To find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
So nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you,
Sacred simplicity
As long as we're together,
There's no place I'd rather be
With every step we take,
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same,
Gave you another name
Switch up the batteries
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
Be, oh
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
The whole song I sing to Four. Even if he doesn't know about me. Or if he can't see me. The whole song is about him.
Because if I could go back to that night, I would. Not to change anything, but to relive it. With him I there is no place I would rather be. He just makes my heart leap and fly with joy.
I miss that feeling, and my heart just can't fill that space.
An applause awaits me and I bow.
Then exiting stage I stumble into someone.
