A/N- hey guys.
I won't be able to update tomorrow because Mockingjay, but I most likely will on Saturday. Literally 24 hours after I finish writing this, I will be sobbing over Mockingjay. IM NOT EMOTIONALLY READY LITERALLY FREAKING EVERLARK BABIES
In a chapter or two, I'm going to write in someone else's point of view for a change but this chapter is still going to be in Tris'.
Warning- FOURTRIS
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Tris' Point of View:
My heart races as I anxiously sit in my room, staring my my phone, waiting to for a text from Four.
I just texted him asking if we can meet up at the chasm that's not too far away from where we live, probably only about a fifteen minute drive. People rarely go there, so its my favorite place to go and be alone. It's a great place for thinking and it's extremely relaxing to me.
I'm so worried about what Four is going to say. I know he doesn't hate me. He wouldn't have held my hand. He also wouldn't have asked if we could talk. He would've run of he was mad about it. I wouldn't blame him. Even if he was straight? What's so special about me?
I freeze as I hear my phone go off from a new text. Cautiously glancing at my phone, I notice that Four texted me back. I open the message, extremely relieved when I read the text and it says sure and he'll meet me there in a half hour.
That gives me a half hour to get ready and find out what I'm going to say so I don't make myself look like a complete idiot in front of Four.
I change into a clean pair of black skinny jeans and a new black t shirt and jacket. I also put my hair into a braid since it's looking like a mess right now and I can't do anything else with it.
Looking myself over in the mirror, I decide I look okay enough to go, and I even have five minutes before I should leave.
In the last few minutes I have, I decide to go talk to my dads. I know they'll be able to give me advice on what to do. Or at least I hope they can.
"Hey, Tris." Johnnie greets me when I walk into the living room.
"Hey." I mutter. "I'm going to go out and meet Four by the chasm because we have to talk and I'm really nervous and I don't know what to say or do-"
Johnnie cuts my rambling off. "What's wrong? Why do you need to talk?"
"We were kinda holding hands during the movie today." I say quietly.
"Yes!" Kyle screams. "I ship it!"
Johnnie rolls his eyes. "Ignore him." He says, shutting Kyle up. "Just talk to him like you would talk to Christina. Why didn't you tell us that he was straight too?"
"I didn't know. I just found out today. But I really like him and I don't want to screw things up between us."
Johnnie sits quietly and thinks for a moment. "He must have some feelings for you if he willingly held your hand. Don't worry about it too much. You should probably get going. You don't want to be late."
I nod. "Okay. I'll see you later." I slip my combat boots on and begin walking to the door.
"Good luck!" Johnnie calls out at the same time Kyle yells, "Don't go baby making!"
I ignore Kyle's comment and I walk out to my car. In our society, there are birth mothers who have the babies that can be adopted by married couples. A few days after I came out to them, Johnnie and Kyle gave me a lecture about how I need to be careful with men because I'm too young to have children.
Even if by some miracle, something happens between Four and I, it's probably not going to get intimate for a while.
The drive to the chasm seems to take forever. My thoughts full of fear and anticipation haunt me the entire ride. I never thought I would be so relieved to get to the chasm until now.
Once I get there, I recognize Four's car already there. I park my car and get out, walking over to where I can see the outline of a figure in the light from the setting sun up ahead of me.
"Four." I call out his name so I don't scare him.
He turns around. "Hey, Tris."
"Follow me. I have somewhere to show you."
Four looks at me suspiciously, but doesn't protest as I take his hand lead him over to a small path that leads to the bottom of the chasm.
The chasm is always most beautiful when the sun sets. The red, purple, and orange sky reflects beautifully off the rushing water that runs through the chasm. The water keeps the air cool, but refreshing, not too cold. The shadows from the trees above us next to the chasm make the entire scene look like it is straight out of a painting. It is even better now that I'm here with Four.
"Wow." Four whispers in awe.
I nod in agreement. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yeah." He replies.
I sit down on the rock and Four sits next to me, taking my hand again.
"About before," he begins. "I really like you. I completely understand if you don't feel the same, but I just need to tell you. I can't keep it in much longer."
I look down as a smile and blush creeps into my face. "I like you too." I mutter, not sure if I said it loud enough to hear me.
Evidently, he does though. A wide grin appears on his face and he wraps his arm around me. "I can't even tell you how relieved I am right now. I never thought I would ever meet someone who I actually liked and they liked me back." He says happily.
"I never thought I would either." I reply softly. "I was always so scared to accept who I was until like a few days before we met and I told my dads and then I met you and you make me so happy and feel like I'm not messed up or broken."
Four pulls me closer to him and kisses the top of my head. "Of course you're not." He assures me. "You're perfect. I'm so happy we met. Good things normally don't happen to me. But you're a good thing and I care about you so much."
Four's words make me feel like my heart is melting. He is such an incredible person. This is exactly why I started falling for him. I know he will always treat me right. I am so grateful for him. He manages to make me feel so much better and I'm so thankful for him.
Four and I stay sitting there in the chasm, silent, just enjoying being by each other's sides and listening to the calming sound of the running water from the chasm. It's strange how water that can be so treacherous is so relaxing to listen to as it hits against the rocks and flows away. It's beautiful in a way though, kind of representing many things in life. Some things can seem so beautiful, but if you get too close, it is dangerous and may kill you.
"We should probably get going soon." I speak out after a while, breaking the comfortable silence, pointing out that the sky is completely dark and the full moon is shining brightly.
Four nods. "Okay." He stands up, taking my hand and helping me to my feet. "Just before we go, can I do something?"
I nod in confirmation.
"Close your eyes." He says quietly. I obey.
Then all of a sudden, his lips are on mine and we are standing there, kissing at the bottom of the chasm.
A/N- yay! Fourtris is finally happening! I bet that's all everyone's been waiting for for 8 chapters.
Sorry this is a little short. My mom has been yelling at me for the past twenty minutes to put my iPad away, so this is kind of rushed. Sorry.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Bye guys.
