A/N Another update yay!
Enjoy
All rights are of the epic goddess Veronica Roth
Caleb gives me a look of concern and worry, Percy looks furious
"What is his problem?" I ask
"People don't agree with him?" Caleb says
"So he is having a tantrum?" I say kind of laughing and dropping my stuff
"Leave us alone Beatrice!" Percy demands
"Not till you tell me what is the problem" I say
normally I would drop it, its their problem not mine, but he called me Beatrice not Tris, or even Bea he knows I ultimately detest being called Beatrice, only our father calls me that.
Percy rubs his temple he realizes his mistake
"Tris" Percy says trying to correct himself "stay out of this, and your friend Four needs to keep his mouth shut" He says
"Not till you tell me what is the matter? And why is Four included in this?!" I say equally as irritated as Percy
"Tell me what dad told you when he was here!" Percy yells
"He called me a whore, and nobody cares for me, and you only pity me! Now you!" I yell back and Percy is taken back.
"Tris, I don't pity you, is that why you have been acting differently?" Percy says calmly
"No, tell me what is your stupid argument?!" I yell, its quiet for a few minutes
"Well tell her" Caleb says calmly but he is also angry
"Tell me…" I say
"No" Percy interrupts, looking at Caleb
"Yes, tell me!" I say crossing my arms
"Tris, I can't" Percy says worriedly
"Then Caleb will tell me" Caleb opens his mouth
"No, our stupid argument is about telling you, and that is all you need to know" Percy says
Without a moment's hesitation I walk out the front door but not without slamming my phone down on the table and leaving two voices calling for me, then a scream, I assume is Percy, Caleb probably didn't even notice the first time I ran away.
I walk down the street, my normal running path, but I walk on the grass leaving the road behind me, it's so open here no houses, no trees, just wide open land. Before long I can't see a road anywhere but I hear water I continue to walk toward it, eventually I get to the source of the noise, I believe it's called a chasm. I can't make camp here it's too open, people can find me.
I follow the chasm a ways up ward, I find an abandoned train station, and I make camp in the top of one of the train cars. I'm protected from weather, and no one can see me, unless they enter the car, I'm so glad it is summer, I can sleep and not freeze to death.
I sit in the train car looking out, listening to the water, I have no idea what time it is, tomorrow when I go back to the house for some stuff, and I will probably have to tell my teachers something, of why I will be gone. I can't continue going to school, it would defeat the purpose of running away, I don't want to face anyone right now, even some of my closest friends and I don't want to see or talk to them.
It's finally starting to get dark, and I see a figure approaching, I climb into the top of the car, normally where they will pack smaller boxes or something I'm not completely sure on, I sit in the corner its dark enough to hide me if I make myself small.
I hear twigs breaking and then I see hair, brown, short like a man's, like Four's. The figure turns its head to look around I presume, then they climb in and I can see it is Four he lays down in the car and lays down.
I am… I was his girlfriend I should want to comfort him, but not after today i don't even know if we are still dating, I could at least talk to him, but I don't even want to hear him out, it would just irk me more.
Its dark enough now I can barely make out his figure, I lay my head down and fall asleep to the faint sounds of Fours breathing and the rushing water.
I wake up in the dead of night
"Tris" he sounds panicked
"Tris" he repeats
I don't want to wake him, I remain where I am, and I fall back asleep to his labored breathing.
I wake up and its bright in the train car, its bright outside, must be early morning, I yawn causing Four to stir awake. He must believe it's his imagination because he ignores it, he rubs his eyes and gets up, I wonder if he knows I ran away from Percy and Caleb yet? Four stretches and jumps out of the cart and walks away.
I sit up and dangle my feet off the ledge; I need to go home get money, and maybe some food, and some supplies to last me as long as I need, but I can always go back home whenever I want.
Time skip few hours later
I watch my house waiting to make sure no one is home now, I go through the back door go up to my room take a shower blow dry my hair and pull it into a high pony tail. I change into tight shorts, and put on a tank top throw sweat pants and hoodie into a bag, and put socks and slip on shoes, I grab fifty bucks out of my stash of cash for this purpose exactly, then I grab my journal from my closet, I grab my sketch book, and pens and pencils, I grab a couple of my favorite books, and my IPod and ear phones.
I walk out of my room, run to the kitchen grab a couple poptarts and granola bars, munchies, and water bottles. I leave my house and walk to school. Listening to Terrified by Story of the Year
Here in this town, safe and guarded
We call it home, a feeling that we share
Now I leave this place, clinging to hope
And this midnight prayer
If we hold our breath, float beyond this
We'll be reborn, I will carry us home
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road
I will carry us home
Oh no, If all I've said was only a hope
Meaningless and true
Now will I expire holding the world
In safety for you
If we make it through and I can save you
With this heart I know, I will carry us home
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
I will carry us home
And now I'm so far away from you
Will I be making any difference after leaving you all alone?
Now I'm so far away from home
Can I justify my action after leaving you
Here in this town, safe and guarded,
We call it home, a feeling that we shared
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? If you're scared inside (I will carry you home)
I will carry us home
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
I will carry us home
Carry us home
I enter the school building, classes are already in session so I can go talk to Tori, and I only hope that I don't run into Four, Percy or Caleb. I walk in the hall till I hear familiar voices
"No Peter" that blood curdling wretched voice can only belong to Nita
the spoiled bitch that was trying to get with Four
"baby you can't say you didn't enjoy our night" that voice has to belong to Peter
I can feel the absence of pressure to my lips I felt that night. I clench my fist I want to go punch them both.
"Peter, you are nothing to me, I slept with you to mess with Tris, and that you failed at doing that, now stop bugging me!" Nita yells in a whisper
"I'll do it again, I'll do whatever it takes" Peter is getting louder pleading
"When will you see you dumb ass, I want Tris and Four to stay away from each other so Four will love me!" she laughs
"I never loved you, who would love a coward like you" Nita says
I hear heels walk this direction. I see Nita's face before I can run.
"What do you want!" she says demands surprised by my appearance
"I want to find Four, to finish what we started before school" I say innocently
finish it with swaying my hips, not being seductive but to be a tease, I am what she wants to be. Finally Peter pokes his head so I can see his face he is surprised, but not as much as Nita is. I look back at Nita, and she isn't in shock any more she has a look of pure enlightenment
"Whatever have my sloppy seconds. He probably never told you I was his girlfriend before you came around" Nita says
"Oh yeah he did, he also told me how it was like a hot dog in a hallway down there, how many guys do you screw to make it that big?" I lie
Four never told me that he dated Nita, I was just defending Four, for a reason I'm not sure of now. Nita's and Peter's face was worth defending Four. I walk away with my head held high and Nita storms off the opposite direction, I don't know what Peter does, I don't care.
I turn the corner and I stand face to face with
