Damn it, I'm first. I think for a second or two before deciding on my answer.
"Truth."
"Pansycake! Fine, why did you truly move here?" Oh here it goes.
"Long version or short version?" I ask them.
"Short version for now!" Uriah says.
"Ok, well it all started in 8th grade, my body started, um, changing, and apparently people didn't like that. I started getting bullied pretty badly, and the worse part is, the people who started it all were my two old best friends. I didn't change as a person really, but they couldn't understand that apparently. So last year it got really really bad so I left. There was no one there for me anyways. This sounds really stupid, but my parents became my best friends, no... only friends, and so we left. My mom quit her job and took on her dream of a coffee shop, and my dad can work any where, so we left and never looked back. But yeah so that's the reason I left." I look at all of them. Four looks guilty for some reason but I don't know why. Chrissy's eyes have a gleam to them like she is about to start crying.
"So uh, Marlene, truth or dare?" I say awkwardly.
"Dare!" She says immediately.
"I dare you to play 7 minutes in heaven with Uri!" She smirks and gets up, he follows happily while they go into the bathroom. I set the timer on my phone for 7 minutes. A minute later we hear moaning. I make a grossed out face and I hear a deep chuckle. I look to see who it came from, and find that it came from Four. The timer on my phone went off and I got up to knock on the door. I walk over really quietly and hear moans still being made. I bang on the door as loud as I can, I think I hear Marlene scream.
"Uri stop screaming." Is all I hear and I fall to the floor laughing. They come out, lips swollen, and hair messy. I walk back to the circle and sit back down.
"Four, truth or dare?" He thinks for a second then answers.
"Dare."
"Ok, I dare you to walk down he street and propose to the first person you see!" He just rolls his eyes but gets up. Me and Marlene follow him to make sure he does it. The first person he sees is a 87 year old man. He gets down on one knee and proposes. The old man just laughs and keeps walking. Four stands up and looks at the old man. He adds more to what he has already done. 'But I love you!' He yells after the old man. With this me and Marlene crack up. On the walk back Four takes my phone and puts his number in it. He texts himself so he has my number. When we get back to Zeke and Uri's we tell them all what happened. People just laugh. The game goes on for a while but I space out for most of it. Finally I hear my name being called again, for the 5th time.
"Tris, truth or dare." Shauna this time. I've done dare the last four times and I don't want to again.
"Truth. And Uri if you say Pansycake, you're dead." I hear laughing from random people.
"Ok well tell us about any old boyfriends." This earns groans from all the boys in the room. I look over at Chrissy and she nods. And I start to tell the story of me and Toby.
"I grew up with this one boy. His name was Tobias but I always called him Toby. We were best friends for basically all my life. One day I think we were like ten or so it grew into something more. We crept away to our spot, we went there all the time to get away from someone very bad. He asked me to date him. I know we were young but I loved him, or as much as I could. When we were 11 ish, we were walking back down the road that lead us back to the house and he just stopped walking. He turns toward me and told me he had to leave that night. I told him I would go with him but he said no. I was heart broken." I turn towards Chrissy. "Should I tell them what happened that night?" I ask her. She nods yes so I continue on. "I watched him leave for the last time and once he was gone I broke down. I ran home and went straight to my room and cried for hours straight. I got up to look around my room a few hours later and my eyes landed on a picture of me and him. I picked it up, looked at it then threw it against the wall. A piece of glass shot out and hit me in the thigh. I pulled it out and didn't even feel pain, just numbness. Blood wouldn't stop coming out either. I picked up the stuffed animal he won me at the state fair, and threw it out the window, knowing he would see it when he walked by my house. I sat there for a second before my mom came rushing in. She took me to the hospital after that and I fainted from the blood loss before I got stitches. I still have the scar from it. The scar doesn't help me with trying to forget about the past at all. I haven't dated any one since." All the girls give me a look of pity, and Four looks sad also. I wonder why. He isn't involved in this at all.
The game continues for a while, but I lose interest. At 1:30 everyone decides to go home. I get up, say goodbye to everyone, and walk out of the door. Four catches up to me.
"You really haven't dated anyone since then?"
"No, I don't see the need, or even have the want."
"Oh wow, you really loved him huh."
"No. When you love someone you never stop loving them, not fully anyways. I will always love him." I stop and look at Four. He looks confused, and I don't know why I'm about to tell him this, but I am. "I miss him. So much, it's become almost unbearable. I would do anything to see him again." He looks at me with a look that I can't explain. I think it's determination.
"Come with me, I want to show you something." He grabs my hand and pulls me to his car. I text Chrissy saying I'm going home with Four.
"What are you going to show me." he looks over at me for a very brief second.
"It's a secret." Wow not scary at all. We drive in a comfortable silence, occasionally talking and singing. We reach a place I think is his house. His house is big and beautiful. It looks like a newer house but still has the old, farm house kind of feel. I bet the inside has the same kind of feeling to it. Homey and comfortable.
"Why are we at your house exactly?" I question him. He looks at me for a second. He looks like he is trying to decide between something.
"Because I need to show you something. Stay here I'll be right back."
"Ok." Is all I could get out before he closed his car door and starts walking up to his house. My mind is racing with questions. What is he going to show me? Should I be scared? Can I trust Four? I really hope I can.
