Divergent Prestigious High
"It's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside or maybe even both"
A/N: It's been a long time and I know this is a terrible sequel after that massive cliffhanger but this is the best I could think of, sorry.
Tobias placed his hand on his forehead in distress.
"Tris-,"
"You monster, you killed my father," Tris screams, crying. "I can't believe you, out of everyone it could have been, it was you, I trusted you, I believed in you, I-I-I loved you,"
"And I love you, Tris your father was going to get killed either it be me or someone else," Tobias explains
"If it was someone else, I would hate someone else,"
"But you would hate me for knowing,"
"Why would you kill him?" Tris shouts
"He was wanted by the government like I said before," Tobias pauses "He's killed 62 people, sexually assaulted 30 people and 19 of them were under the age of 18, he's harassed and blackmailed many people high up in the government,"
Tris avoid eye contact with Tobias.
"Tris, I want this to work but I know-,"
"YOU KILLED MY FATHER," she screams crying once again.
"BEING IN DAUNTLESS, I MUST DO THE RIGHT THING TRIS, IT'S MY JOB!"
"WE'LL DON'T BE DAUNTLESS,"
"IT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW HOW TO DO!" Tobias shouts
Tris stands up and starts to walk out of the apartment. Tobias stands up too and grabs her wrist and pulled her back. He lightly places his lips on hers. Tobias stands there enjoying what may be the last time he feels these fireworks going throughout his body. His lips were elated when Tris's moved in synchronization. But soon Tris pulled back with a train of tears falling. She looked at the concrete floor before running out.
Tobias stares at the floor. It felt like something had shattered in him. He knew Tris occupied a piece of him and now she's gone. He felt incomplete, broken. His eyes pricked with tears. He willingly let them fall. He was heartbroken.
Tris though, she walked away. She couldn't do this; her first love killed her father. Tobias was so perfect, good. From his perfectly arrayed teeth to him helping everyone. His eyes were kind and warm. His scent was the scent of home. His smile could brighten her day. His soothing deep voice was like a lullaby. His love was phenomenal. It was like an invincible power. But he did something terrible, horrible, something that might be even unforgivable. Tris walked through the crowds crying. She hopped in her car and drove off.
The moment she stepped onto the oak floor she sprinted upstairs and laid on her bed crying, both for her father and Tobias.
She sat there crying for minutes, hours: who knows? She lets all her emotions. She looks in the mirror.
"Why would someone like me?" she asks laughing
"I'm an idiotic bitch,"
"I'm ugly, untalented, crazy, bitchy,"
"I'm a fucking slut,"
"Who would like me?"
"Tris you fucking idiot," she screams throwing the closest thing to her at the mirror, pieces went flying everywhere.
"Of course someone like Tobias wouldn't like you," she screams.
Tris looked at the shatter pieces of glass with silver painted at the back. The ends were so sharp, so pointy. She admired them, how this little piece could end someone's life, how it can dig through layers of skin.
She picked up a small piece and stared at her reflection. Her large blue-grey eye sat in the middle of the triangular piece. Tris always wondered why people would cut themselves.
"Tris, why is happening up-," Tris's mother stops talking when she sees Tris on the floor with cuts all over herself and holding a piece of mirror.
"Beatrice Prior, what are you doing," her mother asks sternly.
"Nothing, I just broke some things," Tris says
"Oh honey, you have cuts all over yourself and have mascara running down your face,"
"Just go away mom,"
"Tris, I'm not going to leave you alone when you look like your about to cut yourself,"
"Mom, just leave me alone," Tris urges.
"Tell me what happened,"
"Nothing happened,"
"Tris,"
"Tobias killed dad," Tris cries
"Honey, I know," her mother says.
"Why aren't you sad?" Tris sobs
Natalie lets out a chuckle.
"Your father was a bad man," she says staring into abyss
"Mom, how could you say that?" Tris shrieks, "You were in love with dad, you-you-you loved him,"
"Loved," Natalie emphasizes, "You father joined Erudauntless years before you were born but they never did anything serious,"
"Why did he join the Erudauntless?" Tris asks.
"Childhood Sweetheart," her mother simply stated. "In college your father loved Jeanine Matthews, she was…. the perfect one, blonde, skinny, intelligent, popular and rich,"
"They kind of remind me of you and Tobias, they were madly in love and they dated for quite sometime, everyone knew everything about them, they were the couple of Chicago University, he would die for her, he would do anything for her. They were the cliché couple, petty fights every now and than, carnivals, balls, dates,"
"Than how did you marry dad?" Tris questions.
"Well, there we're rumors that your father cheated on her with me since we were best friends, which was not true by the way but Jeanine believed the rumors, dumped your father and fled the country to Oxford University," Her mother said. "Once she left, your father and I fell in love, got married and had Caleb and she came back when I was pregnant with you and she saw us together one day and it didn't go well, your father literally stopped loving me the moment he saw her and Jeanine told me she was going to ruin my life,"
Tris's mother looked towards the carpet.
"She did, through your father, first she manipulated him into joining her 'club' that wanted to take over the United States Government, you were two when he started abusing me, he threatened to kill you if I told anyone or divorced him as you got older he told me that he would abuse you too if I told you,"
"Mum, oh my goddness," Tris says crying again.
"Tris, Tobias was right for killing your father, he hurt many people and families,"
"But dad was a large part of me when I was younger,"
"He actually wanted me to get an abortion so he and Jeanine could be together and take Caleb, but I said no, he followed Jenaine's instructions of being nice to you so that you would want to follow him when we got divorced," her mother said sadly "I'm really sorry Tris, but this is the truth and you and Tobias should be together, you guys are made for each other,"
Tris ended the conversation with one line.
"I don't know, I'll think about it,"
