13. On the Edge

Love on the Court

Chapter 13

I don't own Divergent

TRIS POV

(A/N: IMPORTANT! MUST READ OR ELSE THE STORY WILL NOT MAKE ANY SENSE: I have never been to Olympic Trials before, and I feel so AWEFUL, and I'm sorry for those of you who wanted to read the trials [never heard that one before…read the trial] but I'm just gonna skip to right after the trials D: Sorry)

I grab my water again, and drink some more, biting my lip. The judges talk to each other. My serves felt perfect, and my hits felt just right. Tobias wraps an arm around me. His Olympic Trials are tomorrow, and I'm going it there for him, like he is here for me. Christina sits beside me, holding my hand.

It feels like hours until the judges seem to have come up with their players, and I'm crossing my fingers I'm one of them.

The speaker grabs the microphone, "I know you ladies are all wonderful players, and you have worked so hard to get to where you are today. Although, we want our top player to compete to win for us. We actually have decided on two teams for the US Beach Volleyball, and we have two Libero players for each team in case of an injury. Without further ado, the moment you've all been waiting for, you US Olympic Beach Volleyball Team" He opens the list of paper. "Our first Team is Brittany Gonzales and Faith Jengar…." there's already applause, "…with Libero players Lia Hudson and Nina Meyers"

"And our last team"

Silence.

The

Silence

Is

Killing

Me.

"Christina Watford and Beatrice Prior" My heart stops. I got in. I really got in. Christina wraps her arms around me and hugs me tighter laughing, and applause breaks out, "I knew we could do it!" she yells.

"And Libero players Shauna Hans and Traci Jacoby"

Marlene is the only one of our group who didn't get in. She doesn't even seem to care. She still joins our circle in hugging, and Christina breaks off to make out with Will.

"I'm so proud of you guys!" Marlene yells.

"Ladies please take your place up here"

I walk up with Shauna and Christina and other girls as we take our place on the stage.

Silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen I present to you our USA Beach volleyball competitors for our 2016 Olympics, which take place in two months in Rio de Janero!"

There was so much applause, and I could feel my eyes get glassy. I pursed my lips and looked at my mom, who was crying tears of, hopefully, joy. She waved to me, and I waved back. The applause lasted for nearly a full minute, and I wish I had a camera to snap this exact moment. I look at all my guy friends and Tobias, who looks like he wants to cry, but isn't because he wants his Four mask to stay on, but I can see Tobias in there.

I look up at the lights, and at my country's flag.

I finally let the tears come out as we sing the national anthem.

Don't mind me, just a page break :D

"I still can't believe we actually did it" Christina says the next morning at breakfast.

"Neither can I" I say, drinking my glass of milk, "It's like a dream"

"Now the boys' have a chance, do you think any one of them will get in?"

"Of course" she said, "Willy-poo"

I laugh, "Willy Poo?"

"Wills new nickname"

"Oh dear God"

She shakes her hair out of her ponytail, making a French braid. She's basically a pro at it. She claims ponytails aren't sturdy enough, so she's a pro at French braids. My hair is down. I rarely have it down because of volleyball, but this is a nice event.

"Hey guys" Tobias says behind me, kissing the top of my head, "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be" I say. I'm wearing my tie-dye jersey from Divergent, and jean shorts, with ankle boots.

I kiss Tobias quickly on the lips. It's not even strange that I kiss him in public, even though it's un-abnegation. I've grown used to kissing him in public.

"Come on" he says.

"Where's Willy-poo?" I ask, smiling at Christina.

"Oh hell no, honey, only I call him Willy-poo"

"We'll meet you outside" I say, getting up from the booth. Tobias and I cross the street of the hotel, and I say, "Thank You. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today"

"You're Welcome" he says, "I….guess I should thank you too"

My eyes widen, "What did I do?"

"You…You were one of the reasons I kept playing. I was actually considering quitting until you asked me to help you. It was fun, yah know?" he said, smiling. We stood near the benches, which were completely full.

"Well I guess we had good luck" I say, leaning against a pillar.

"It wasn't just luck" he said, giving me a deep kiss. The kiss is long, and my hand finds the back of his head, while his is placed on my back, pushing me closer. After five minutes (I think it was five minutes) we pull away, and I decide Christina's been a while. So I reach into my purse.

"Shoot" I say.

"What?"

"I left my phone in my hotel room. I need to go grab it. Give me a minute" I say. I look left and right and see cars slowing down to let me cross. I walk across, and look to my right again, and see a black car zooming at me full speed .An unfamiliar man in the driver looks drunk. Intoxicated. And if I don't do something in the next three seconds, I'm going to miss out in the Olympics. No. All I can do is scream, and my legs won't move. No. I close my eyes. I feel weight press against me.

It's funny how I don't feel in pain at all.

Cliffie! :) Like, the whole world will tear apart if you don't see what's next.

K, bye bye!

GTG

Ha ha LOL JK! I would never do this to you….I would be so mean.

But when I open my eyes, I see Tobias on top of me, breathing hard. He scrambles off me, "Are you okay?"

"I..what…I.."

"I have no idea" he said, helping me up. I see a place where a bruise will take place, but other than that, I'm fine.

"Somebody has to arrest that man" Tobias whispers to me. When I wrap my arms around him again, I can hear his chest beating. He must've been scared.

"Let's go back to your room together" he says, taking my hand, pulling me into the hotel. But when I look back, the man driving the car doesn't seem intoxicated at all.

Page Break :)

"Just wait right here" I say, "I'll be right back"

My mom isn't here when I go in. I grab my phone on the counter and place it in my purse. I sigh, and walk out, closing the door behind me.

"Tris" he said, "Did you know that man who was driving the car?" He asks, taking both my hands.

"No" I sigh, "But why do you care, anyways?"

He looks at me in the eye, touching my forehead to his "Tris, you do realize that since I have an abusive father, a dead mother all I have is you? And I can't lose you, Tris. You're all I have. You were there for me in my darkest times, and I was there for you, and I just can't lose you"

I bite my lip, placing my arms around his shoulders, "I know. And I can't lose you either. Imagine my world without you. I'd be a normal kid. I'd be lazy on the couch typing on my IPad. But you helped me. You made me, well, me. And I am grateful for that" I can feel his hands on my hips.

"Would it be crazy if I said I was in love with you?"

In my body, my heart stopped. He loves me? I love him, but I'll only say it if he says it first.

"No" I say, "But if you need a list or chart or something, I have a pen"

He smiles, "Fine, I love you"

My heart melts. I tiptoe up to him and press my lips to his.

"I love you too" I say. After we pull away, I whisper, "Tobias, you have the tryouts"

"Right" he smiles.

God his smile.

But I love every inch of him, and I'm not afraid to admit that to myself.

I'm supposed to be asleep O.o So I GTG.
