Hey guys! Guess what! My birthday is today! The 18th of November,but I won't tell you how old I am.
Four:Happy birthday,Dowals
Me:You do realize that isn't my real name right?
Four:Yeah, Four isn't my real name either...
Me:Well, I know your real name,but you don't know mine...
Four:No way, you don't...
Me:Yeah it's Tobi-
Four:SHUT UP YOU KNOW-IT-ALL!
Me:Let's just head to the story...
TRIS POV
I watch Bryce pull up in his... LEXUS?!
I open the door of the black ,sleek black car.
"Where did you get this car?" I ask.
"Nate..."
"No... HE LET YOU DRIVE HIS CAR AND NOT ME?! He is going to hear it from me..."
He just chuckles.
"Oh and here ,Bryce." I pull his sweater over my head.
"Keep it." He said with rose red cheeks.
"It's yours... and besides... Everyone thinks it belongs to my boyfriend."
He look into my eyes,when he stops at the red light. He gives me a shy smile.
"Your eyes..." He said touching my cheek.
"Oh yeah they fell down the drain and-"
"No, there perfect." He said. I look at him slightly shocked,but he looks away abruptly as he continues to drive. A blush blossomed on my cheeks. I could feel it. He pulled into a parking lot.
"What are we doing?" I ask confused altogether. He turns to look at me with sincerity in his eyes... kindness and love evident in them also. Bryce sighs.
"Tris,no-Beatrice Prior, do you realize how long I have felt this way?" He holds my hand. No,Bryce can't confess his love for me. I can't love him ,when my heart yearns for Tobias. No...
"Bryce, I-"
"Please, you don't have to say anything. I just want you to listen. I don't think I can keep this secret to myself." I just watch and listen to him."I have liked you and loved you before Four maybe even before Taylor. I thought you weren't meant for me,when Taylor asked you to be his . I saw you that day you first moved into my town. Our families were oddly close so were you and me. Then one day we both were put in a boot camp. That's when you started to hang out with Taylor more than me. I just decided to forget about have a girl for a friend."
He looks at his hand ,which held mine."But seeing you now, it sparked my love for you once again." The sincerity in his eyes ate at me. I leaned back into my seat . I try to relax and calm myself from the shocking news. How can he like me? We are just friends. Well... that was the same thing with Four...and...Taylor... I put my hand to my head. It was just too much from Bryce.
"Bryce, I'm sorry,but you already know how I feel about Four;Taylor ,too, still holds a place in my heart. My heart isn't big enough for three men...Let alone two! I can't."
I can tell he was heart broken,but he didn't let it show.
"Tris,I'm sorry for bringing that up. I- I just wanted to clear things up,and I didn't want to stress you out or anything . I-" His innocence gets to me. I kiss his cheek.
"It's alright. Besides, you were brave to even admit you like me. Now can we go out for a bit. I'm tired of hang around in a building all say."
He half-smiles at me. Taking the car off of park , he drives to a park. We both step out and walk on the trail provided by the park .
"It's nice out here. Is it not?" He says. I just nod, while taking in the beautiful scenery. Trees had leaves of red ,yellow,and orange. The birds fluttered about ,and squirrels scampered along the path and up the trees. Ten minutes into the walk, I receive a message from Zeke... I don't know how he got my number... It said:Another party for those that made it to stage two! My place again! CANDOR OR DAUNTLESS for those in this list:Tris,Uriah,Four,Eric,Marlene-
I just stop reading there. I told Bryce I'd invite him to the next one so... This is it.
"Hey, do you want to go to a Dauntless party with me? It's awkward going there 'alone'." Of course I wasn't alone. I was with friends,but it's hard when they have no clue who you are.
"Uh-sure."
"Then let's go!"
"Wait wait wait." He said."What if they ask me who I am? Am I going to answer with-Yeah I'm Taylor's friend from a secret agency you can't know about...?"
I sigh...I know why he asked that,because he wants to go as my boyfriend...
"Why do you have any ideas for your cover?"
"Yeah! How about your brother?" I look at him.
"Never mind. I have one. Let's just go..."
FOUR POV
Zeke is having another party... Great. I had already arrived half an hour ago,and the room is already filled with people. I sit at the "bar" where Uriah is serving drinks. Eric is obviously downing everything he can.
"Calm down..." Uriah says to him. He just puts his glass down and walks away. I take a sip of the beer in my bottle. The door opens, and I see Taylor walking in with what looks like the guy from the first day I met her...
"CANDOR OR DAUNTLESS INVITES ONLY!" Zeke calls. Tons of people leave and there is now a small circle on the ground.
"So I will go , who is this guy?" Zeke asks.
She looks at the guy and holds his hand.
"He's my boyfriend..." For a moment, I thought the her boyfriend looked surprised,but he just laughs awkwardly."This is Bry-James."
"Hey." He said. I try not to note their nervous faces.
"I'm Zeke and this is-" I just zone out for a moment ,and think about what I'll be doing tomorrow. I try not to think of Tris ... Dang I just thought of her..."Four."
"What?" I ask.
"I said this is Four." Zeke said,while giving me a confused look.
"Ah.. So you're the guy my girlfriend keeps talking about." He eyes me suspiciously. So... Taylor talks about me a lot. Taylor's face goes red and she nudges James side.
"Shut up!" she said to James.
"Do I need to murder him or what?" James said a little too loud.
"Be quiet!" James just laughed.
"I'm kidding. Nice to meet you,Four." He gives me a firm handshake.
"Okay, Like I said,"I'm starting." Zeke say."Taylor, C or D?"
"Candor."
"Give us details on how you kiss James..."
They awkwardly shift .
"Uh-Uh-Uh."
"Uh isn't an answer." Chris said.
" We kinda don't want to talk about that." James said.
"Okay fine. Drink this." He hands Taylor a shot of whiskey. She reluctantly drinks it.
"Marlene, C or D?"
"Dauntless."
"Slap Eric in the face ten times and insult him continuously as you do so."
"WHAT?! You're trying to kill me." She takes a shot.
"Four, Candor or Dauntless?"
" Dauntless.'' I don't know what I'm getting into,but it's too late.
"Kiss Taylor in front of her boyfriend for five minutes." Marlene smirks at me. Taylor's face is red ,and James is ready to kill me... I shoot over to Taylor and brush her hair aside. Her eyes were the color of Tris's and her face,but her hair was what is throwing me off. I kiss her lips ,and the familiar touch of them remind me of Tris . I don't want to stop. Her hands caress my face,and she kisses me back. I am surprised at first,but I push aside the thought. Hands entangled in each other's hair...
"GUYS! GUYS! HEY! PEOPLE ARE IN THE ROOM!" Everyone shouts. I scurry back flushed. I lock my fingers together to keep them from shaking . The sudden rush of heat and emotions zip through me. James's face shadowed with hurt and confusion. Taylor stood up and left. James followed after her.
I just awkwardly sat there watching everyone whisper and stare at me.
"Four is finally moving on from Tris!" Everyone cheers,but inwardly that kiss reminded me only of her. I left before tears spilled over. I rush out to take a walk . I walk past all of the buildings in Eaton Facility and pass our trains. I trod down the sidewalk . About a block away, the park Tris and I frequently visited after school was there. Silence floated in the air. I sat on the swing and moved back and forth lightly. It was dark already, and I was wearing all black... No surprise,but I heard someone talking. They probably couldn't see me. Taylor and James stood outside his car and were talking over something. Neither looked angry or upset. I just sat and listened.
TRIS POV
Bryce and I head over to the near by park.
"Do you think he gave up on Me? I mean Tris?" I asked.
"By the way he kissed Taylor he seemed to have enjoyed..." He said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry you had to watch awkwardly." I rub my arms.
"He is going to find out soon." He says.
I nod."Of course. Tobias isn't stupid." I then hear a squeaky sound of metal. I turn and see the swing rocking back and forth. Someone was there. I pointed to get in the car and Bryce followed suit.
"I'll drop you off at Dauntless,and -"
"No, let's stay at the hotel. Please, I just need to stay away for the night." He nods and drives off.
TIME LAPSE
I wake up in the bed sheeted with white and grey bedding. I sit up slowly and swing my legs over the edge of the bed . I stand up,but I trip over something. I hear a groan of pain;A memory replays...
I walked Blizzard before dinner one night and I tripped over a body. I remember it was Tobias. I stand up and apologize to Bryce. I felt guilt hit my chest. he has done so much for me and all I do is hurt him. He helped me through Taylor's death and my father's. He has helped me grow strong when I left Tobias. Even though I reject him and hurt his feelings, He still has feelings for ? How could he forget me? How can he let me go so easily?
Soon. Soon the truth will come out .
FOUR POV
Could I forget her? I had spent the night letting the tears fall, and BLizzard cuddled with my legs.
I trudge through the hallways . I keep rubbing my eyes. I didn't get much sleep last night,but I have no choice, I have to go to help with stage two.
Taylor is the first one there.
"I'm sorry about last night." she says like it was her fault. I raise my hand to keep her from saying any more.
"I enjoyed myself last night. Don't worry you were a good kisser. You also helped me with some personal problems."
She hung her head .
"You should do your fear landscape now and leave early." Taylor nods. She seats herself in the chair.
"Are you ready?" I ask. She nods,but I wasn't ready to see the next thing that showed up.
