Chapter 7: A Fist Connected to My Jaw

Four's POV

I have waited all my life to finally have my lips connected with Tris's. At first she tensed at the kiss, and then slowly relaxed into me. I gently placed my hand on the side of her face; I could feel the electricity pulsing through my veins. Nothing in this world has ever felt so right. All I ever wanted was to have Tris, to love and to protect. Whenever I was around Tris, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even think straight, couldn't form words in my mouth. I had to act tough and strong. Being with Lauren and seeing Tris, made me feel like the world was slipping through my fingers. But, being here tonight, with Tris, was worth the pain of being with Lauren. Even when I kissed Lauren, in the back of my mind, I was always thinking of Tris. As the kiss slowly came to an end, I kept my hand on her cheek and my forehead glued to hers. I never want to let Tris go.

Out of breath, Tris whispered, with a hint of happiness in her voice, "Four, what the hell was that?"

Slowly, I drew in a breath and responded, "I needed to show you how much you mean to me. I love you. I have always loved you.I couldn't let Lauren, Eric, Peter or anyone for that matter hurt you, so I dated Lauren." Through the dimmed lights, I could see the speechless expression written on Tris's face and added, "Tris, I care about you, please say something."

For what seemed like hours, she finally spoke, "Oh, Four!" and wrapped her small arms around my neck and subtly placed her lips on mine. I couldn't help but smile through our kiss. Now, Tris finally knows how I feel about her. Now no one, not even Lauren can cause her pain.

"Hahaha! Good one Four! Now that slut will leave us alone."

At that moment, Lauren emerges out of the dark corner of Uriah's bedroom. She rips Tris off of me with ease, and crushes her chapped lips to mine. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the look of pure horror and sadness plastered on Tris's face. Now, Tris will never believe me. I love you Tris.Why, did I even begin dating Lauren if she keeps hurting Tris? I thought I would be protecting Tris by dating Lauren. Instead, I am the one hurting Tris, not Lauren but me.

I quickly push Lauren off of me and look around the room for Tris. I am suddenly nervous when my eyes cannot find Tris. I didn't even know Lauren was in the room."Lauren, what the hell was that! WE ARE DONE!" I spit out to her.

With an evil smile playing on Lauren's lips, she adds, "I wouldn't be so sure about that Tobias. I have been in touch with your dad. I wonder what he will think when he finds out you dumped me for that ugly slut!"

How does she know my real name? I have been going by "Four" since middle school, Lauren transferred here freshmen year.

I snap out of that thought and focus on what's really important to me. I don't care what Lauren or my abusive father thinks. I need to find Tris and make things right with her. I need to explain to her that Lauren is out of my life. How, could I let myself hurt Tris? I am just like my father in that way. My father physically abusives me. He hurts me, leaving bruises and scars on my skin. And I, just left a scar inside Tris's heart. I need to find her; I need to explain things to her.

I sprint out of Uriah's bedroom and am running around Zeke's mansion like a crazy person, trying to find my true love. After looking in the kitchen and the dining room, I find Christina in the living room talking to Will. I immediately feel relief flooding through my body, knowing Christina will know where Tris is. As I'm about to ask Christina if she knows where Tris is, I get a fist connected to my jaw.

"Mess with my friend and I mess with your face." Smiled Christina in triumph.

After tasting blood in my mouth I speak, "Christina it not what it sounds like. Please, you have to help me, where is Tris?"

"Why the hell do you care? You obliviously humiliated her, played with her emotions and got a good laugh." Chrisitna says as a duck another punch from her.

"Christina, I love her! I always had. I thought I was protecting her by dating Lauren. Christina you have to help me." Now I am almost in tears. I love Tris; I don't want to hurt her.

Christina, starting to believe me says, "Even if what you say is true, I don't know where she is. She is probably alone, trying to get away from here."

The creek. Duh, Tris goes there when she wants to be alone.

"Christina thanks."

The creek. I have to get to the creek. I dash out of Zeke's mansion and run with all my heart to the creek. All I can think about is how I hurt Tris. Like Christina said, I embrassed her, I played with her emotions and I helped Lauren have a good laugh. No wonder Tris hates me. I hate myself right now. Finally, out of breath I arrive at the creek. Immediately, my heart begins to sink hearing sobs from the one I love. I hear Tris, but I don't see her. Where is she?

"Tris? Tris? Tris, please listen to me. . . I would never hurt you. . . I didn't know Lauren was there in the room with us. . . Tris, please you have to listen to me." I shout with desperation in my voice.

At this point, I am emotionally drained. This is my entire fault. I am such an ass. No wonder she doesn't want to talk to me. I go to sit down in my favorite spot at the creek. I have my knees pulled to my chest and my head buried in my thighs. Then I hear a scream.
