Im sorry, this is a short chapter, ive just been really busy! If anyone read my last AN i said i was toying around with the idea of a new fanfic about before the factions and the big war that created them. Well i have decided to scrap that, i wasnt really excited to write it and i need to be excited about a story to continue it. Im seriously thinking about writing a story about Four, Uriah, Zeke and Will all in a band and he meets Tris on tour or something. Thanks!
After the whole glue, paint and paper incident lots of kids are in the infirmary who really took a bad reaction to it while the rest of us just sit down, scratching while the Erudite clean up, because they were made to by the school. Im not entirely sure but i think that the few people who came up with the glue idea and planned it could be expelled.
The teachers have been ordered to keep watch for any other signs of planning from the Erudite and Dauntless, because its really getting out of hand. I feel a hand slip into mine and look up to see Four, i smile at him then say "Well, that was pretty crazy" he laughs then nods. Everyone was sent home early that day.
I get home then go to the kitchen for a snack. A knock on the door leads me to open it, standing there is the last person i wanted to see, Ben. "Hey Tris" he says. "What the hell are you doing here!" I shout. He looks pretty taken aback. "I wanted to apologise for what i did, it was completely out of character for me and i was wondering if you could give me a second chance?" He asks. I contemplate whether i should give him another chance, but i decide that what he did was completely unacceptable.
"No, I'm sorry Ben, no more chances for you. What you did was horrible and if my dad didnt come, i know that you would have gone further" He grabs my arm, a firm grip holds on it, just like in the car that day. "Ben, stop" i say firmly. He shakes his head. "No! You will give me a second chance! I have been following you around and trying to talk to you for 5 months now, this isnt how it ends!" He pushes me into the cabinet, knocking over a photo frame of Caleb and I. By this point im really angry, he broke one of my childhood memories.
"Listen Ben! You will not come into my home, terrorise me, break my stuff and hurt me! Get out of my house!" I practically scream. He slaps me in the face and then runs out of the house. I clutch into my cheek, stinging from the pain. I tell myself not to cry, i wont let him win. I immediately call Four, and he is raging. "What the hell is that guy doing, stalking my girlfriend?!" He shouts. That was the first time he actually called me his girlfriend, and it felt good. "Can you come over?" I ask "Sure thing" he replies.
I hear a knock on the door and panic runs over me for a second, then i realise its just Four. I let him inside and we go sit on the couch. "Wanna watch a movie?" I ask. He nods then pulls me closer to him, by my waist. I end up with my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me, watching The Blind Side, Its one of my favourite movies. When the movie is over we decide to talk.
"What am I going to do about Ben?" I ask. He thinks for a while "Im not sure, but for now just avoid him, i wont let anything happen to you" i smile at him, he starts to talk again "I dont tell people this much, but i had a brother, he was 6 years older than me, and 5 years ago he went into the military, and he died on a mission, we were really close" he looks really sad when he says this. I dont say anything but just kiss him. The kiss isnt hungry or fast, its full of passion and love. I pull away and he is staring into my eyes "I love you" he says.
I know undoubtedly that i do love him, hes all i can think about in the morning and before i go to sleep, so why i didnt say it back, really confused me. "Thankyou" i reply. I instantly feel a shallow pool of water inside of me, drowning me. He looks at me in a way that kills me and i know at this moment i should say i love you back but my lips cant form the word. He gives me an awkward smile. "Well, i should get going, thanks for having me" he says and picks up his keys then rushes out.
I stand there shocked, i cant believe i did that to him. I have to tell him i love him tomorrow and it has to be special. I know that we are probably moving fast, but i dont care i have the perfect thing for him.
The next day at school i wait impatiently for him to arrive. I finally see him getting out of the car, he looks sad, and distracted. I feel guilty knowing i probably made him feel that way. I rush up to him, placing both my hands on his face and kiss him. He pulls away after 2 seconds "Tris, what are you doing?" I smile at him, although i pretty much got rejected of a kiss. I hand him a box. He looks confused but he opens it, inside there is a dog tag and on it is simply the letter T, signifying his brothers loss in the army, and both of our names, Tris and Tobias. He grins at me and looks up. I pull him in for another kiss wrapping my arms around him. I pull away and look into his eyes and say.
"I love you"
