Hey guys I am so sorry it has taken me a while to update, I have had a lot going on. I'm not going to bore ya'll with the details, so here you go:
Chapter 4
I wake up in a dark room and have no idea where I am. I stretch both arms out in front of me and walk until I bump into a wall. Then I hear a couple things fall on the ground and bend down to figure out what they are. Mops. That's when I realize I am in one of the janitor's closets. I follow the wall, running into more things in the process, and finally find the light switch which is all the way at the back of the closet. I turn around to open the door and see a note on it. "Keep your eyes open Tris. Anything can happen when you're oblivious."
The note doesn't scare me, it just makes me angry. I have to find out who did this, even though I have two suspects already. I will find out and I will get revenge.
I open the door and realize that I am in the closet right next to the nurse's office, which explains how someone could've dragged me here without getting questioned. I grab my phone from my back pocket and see that it is 1:45. We're in the last 15 minutes of 6th period. Have I really been out for more than an hour?
I start to walk towards the gym since I'm supposed to be in P.E right now, but then I stop. I turn around and walk back towards the nurse's office and the closet I just came out of. First I open the door of the small room and grab the sign off of the door. I shove it in my backpack and then walk into the nurse's office.
"What's wrong baby?" the nurse asks when she sees me.
"I have a really bad headache." I say rubbing my head. It wasn't a lie, my head did start hurting all of a sudden.
"Lay down Ms. Prior, you don't look very good. I will get you something for your head."
I nod and look in the mirror before laying down on the little cot. My face is completely while for some reason, and it scares me a little. I lay down right when she comes back with the medicine.
"Okay sweaty, take this first," she says handing me a pill. "And then this after. The first one will help with your head and the second will cause the color to come back into your face."
I obey and then stand up to look in the mirror again. The medicine worked instantly. My head stopped hurting and my face looks normal now.
I tell her thank you and then she gives me a pass to class. Instead of walking to the gym, I walk to my French class since there is only 2 minutes left of 6th period. I think about stopping to get my French book but then say screw it since I can't open my own locker anyways. The bell rings and I wait for everyone to come out of the classroom before going in. Of course, I am the first one here.
"Hello Tris, why are you here so early?" Mrs. Leroy says confused. I understand why. I'm usually one of the last ones to show up to class.
"Just not having a very good day. Kind of want to get it over with as soon as possible."
"I understand." She says with a sympathetic smile on her face. "Well I hope your day gets better."
I smile back and then more students start to trickle in. Tobias come in last and doesn't say a word to me. I don't really know what to say. I know he deserves an explanation since he probably thinks I ditched him, I just don't want to give him one here.
"Can we talk after school?" I say in a whisper so Mrs. Leroy won't hear.
He starts to say something back, but then Mrs. Leroy starts talking louder so that everyone can hear her.
"Classe bien. Vous allez faire équipe et faire une présentation. Cela sera dû vendredi et à partir d'aujourd'hui, vous n'aurez pas le temps de classe pour travailler. Choisissez vos partenaires maintenant et commencer." (So ya'll don't have to translate it, it says the class is doing a project and they have to pick a partner and work on it on their own time.)
"I guess I don't have a choice now." He says not looking at me.
Part of me is sad and mad that he is acting like that, but I understand why. The other part of me is impressed that he finally learned French. We don't talk for the rest of the period, and that bothers me a lot, but he has to talk to me after school.
The bell rings and he practically runs out of the class. He must be really mad at me. I walk out of the double doors of the school and he is already gone. I get in my car and drive home. It feels like it takes forever. I pull up to my house and see a ambulance in my driveway. My heart stops and I park in the street. I get out of my car as fast as I can and run up to the front door.
"What's going on?" I say when I see Christina's mom by the doorway.
"Your mom had a heart attack. They are taking her to hospital to run some tests. I'm sure she is going to be okay Tris. They said that she still has a pulse. I'm glad I was over here when it happ-"
"Why didn't you call me?" I say frustrated. My mouth is completely dry.
"I tried. You didn't answer. I called Christina and told her to tell you to come home, but she said that you weren't in 6th period so she had no idea where you were. She told me she would look for you."
So it's Cara and/or Peter's fault that I wasn't here for my mother. They had to put me in that stupid closet.
I ball my hands into fists and can't speak or move. I hear my name and then she puts her hand on my shoulder which snaps me back to reality. I take a deep breath and then turn towards the door slowly. Then I start to run. I don't think, I just run. I have no idea where I am going, but I don't stop. I look around and I have no idea where I am, but I still can't stop. I hear a car behind me and realize that I'm running in the street. The car stops behind me and I hear the door open and then close. I start running even faster, which I didn't know was possible. I hear footsteps and my breathing gets heavier than it was before. I don't dare to look back because I know that will slow me down. I turn the corner and can't hear the footsteps anymore. That's when I look behind me. There is no one there. I turn to look the way that I am going and then think that I should start trying to go back toward my house, but I don't want to. I keep running straight. I blink my eyes, and a tear falls down my cheek. I blink again and then I run into something. Not something, someone. I assume it's the person that was following me earlier and fear rushes through my body. He grabs my shoulders and pulls me into his body. The tears start to flow even more and I just close my eyes, waiting and preparing myself for what is about to happen.
"Tris, it's okay. Baby it's me. I got you. It's okay. It's okay."
I slide down to the ground and he does the same so he won't have to let me go. We sit there in silence, me crying on his shoulder.
Hope ya'll liked it and don't hate me. Review please and tell me what you think. I am open to suggestions as well. Thanks to everyone who has favorited, followed, and reviewed this story already. I love ya'll and ya'll are the reason I keep going. I will try to upload the next chapter as soon as possible. For those of ya'll who don't know, I write all of my chapter as I go. They are not pre-written so that is why it takes me a while. Well once again, thank you for all of your support and until next time,
BYE BYE (:
