A/N thanks for reading, I don't own characters, I do own a chubby penguin though
I walked into the house, I went in through the back door. I walked quietly past the living room where Caleb and my parents were. I walked upstairs into my room and closed the door quietly. I slipped off my shoes and went into my bathroom. I pulled off the sweatshirt Four gave me. I pulled down the sleeves of the shirt I put on this morning. Bruises covered my arms and shoulders. I had a few cuts, but other than that I was fine. I looked up into the mirror and realized that I wasn't fine. I had a black eye, it wasn't swollen but the area around my eye was blue, going on black. I rinsed a cold washcloth under water and dabbed at my eye. I was looking at the bruises on my shoulders when Caleb burst in my door.
"Beatrice it's time for di" I tried to pull up my sleeves and cover my face, but it was too late, Caleb saw.
"Oh my God Beatrice! What the hell did you do!?" he walked towards me fast.
"It's Tris, and I'm fine."
"What?"
"My name it's Tris now. And I'm fine."
"You are not fine, Bea- Tris, look at you, and your eye!" he said, he was yelling now.
"Shhhhh, mom will come in. I'm fine, don't tell mom and dad I will."
"Ok" he said. With that he left the room. I put on a sweater before I went down to dinner, to cover the bruises on my arms. I only wanted to have to explain the black eye. I walked downstairs, and into the kitchen. My family was sitting at the table waiting for me.
"Beatrice what happened to your eye?!" my mom said, she got up from the table and came over to me.
"I'm fine, I just tripped on the stairs at school."
"And hit your eye?" she asked
"Yah, I wacked it on the railing, I'm fine mom really."
"She will be fine Natalie" my father said "Let's eat, come on."
"Yah" said Caleb. I turned to him, he was eyeing the sweater covering my shoulders. My mother nodded and sat down, I followed and took my seat. My father led us in prayer and we ate. I went to bed early and fell asleep soon.
The next morning I got up early to work out, but as soon as I sat up I knew that wasn't going to happen. I ached all over, my legs, arms, and stomach hurt. I grit my teeth to keep from moaning in pain. I got ready for the day, wearing long sleeves to cover my shoulders. I walked downstairs and realized that I couldn't walk to school. I could ask Caleb to drive me but that would include talking to him. Something I didn't really want to right now. I walked out the door before I called him.
"Hey where are you."
"Four, I can't work out today I am so sore. Can you come take me to school? You have my bag anyway."
"Yah, I'll be there in like ten minutes."
"Ok, thanks." With that I hung up. Five minutes later a black pickup truck pulled up. I got in the passenger side, my backpack was at my feet.
"Thanks for the ride." I said
"No problem." He said, keeping his eyes on the road.
Four P.O.V
She got in the car and thanked me. After a few minutes of silence she looked at me. Her eyes were alert, awake.
"What am I going to do four?" she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Peter, today if he comes after me, I can't do anything. They are going to kill me." We stopped at the light. I turned to her
"I am not going to let that happen." I said, she nodded.
"What about Al, he I just can' believe he would do that." She said, we started moving.
"Look, you need to show that he beat you, or they will come after you again. As for Al, just tell him to leave you alone." She nodded, as we pulled into the parking lot.
"Thanks," she said hopping out of the car. I nodded at her. She walked into school, leaving me with silence.
Tris P.O.V.
I walked into the building and tried to avoid any one I knew. It worked until lunch. I sat down at our table, and scanned the room for Peter. He was in the corner with Drew, they were smirking at my eye. Just then Christina, will, and Uriah walked up.
"Oh my god Tris! What happened to you?" said Christina.
"I was-" I was about to tell them what happened, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and I saw Al.
"Tris I-" he started to say, I cut him off.
"Don't touch me! Don't ever touch me again!" I realized I was screaming at him. I lowered my vice "And if you ever come near me again I swear to god I will kill you." He lowered his head
"Tris I am so sorry." He said
"Go away" I said. He walked away with tears in his eyes. I sat back down, everyone was looking at me.
"You going to tell us what that was about?" said Christina. I retold the story everyone was silent when I stopped.
