CHAPTER 25

Four POV

Great, just great. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping it was just a stupid nightmare. "Four?" Tris' voice made me want to kill myself. I groaned inwardly.

"What?!" I snapped. She bit her lower lip. Don't do that. "I'm sorry," she said apologetically. "For what?" I asked.

Her hands moved to the hem of her shirt. Why is it so hard to stay mad at her?

Tris POV

I hesitated. He is so stressed out and I was hoping to help cheer him up. His name is Tobias, isn't it? How did I know, though, when we were out for froyo? I debated with myself whether or not I should call him by his name…

"Tobias?" I said unsurely. He tensed as I put my hand on his shoulder. "What. Did. You just call me?" he said through gritted teeth. If he was trying to scare me, he should know it's working. "I-I-," I was at lost for words.

When I was with him, he has never used that voice on me. Or anyone else for that matter. "YOU JUST HAD TO GET INTO MY FUCKING LIFE AND RUIN IT FOR REAL! Stop being such a bitch and go to your angelic friends!" he shouted. I was fighting back the tears that threaten to come.

All my life, I have never been shouted at like this. Never did anyone hate me this much. Maybe it is my fault, I am a magnet for trouble like he said. I turned around and quickly got out of the room.

"I'm sorry," I whispered before shutting the door softly behind me. I was struggling to hide back the tears. No one should ever see me cry, especially not him. My hands trembled when I wiped the tears.

Who cares what a devil says? They are devils, and they will stay that way forever. But some part of me cares. I would trade my ethereal form to get rid of that part, I would.

The tears kept on coming. I am a hundred percent sure that if Four saw me like this, he would just yell again. Probably something like 'Yeah, go ahead and cry and tell your mommy! It's not like anyone cares.'

That. Would hurt a lot. But my friends would care, won't they? Especially Caleb?

My sleeves are wet with tears when I reached Caleb's room. I knocked on the door slowly before opening it. "Caleb?" my voice is breaking. He was at his study table, numbers of books are open to certain pages on the table. "Not now Beatrice," he said, not even turning around to look at me.

Well, that was nice. Next on my list would be Christina, but she was sure to ask numerous questions before letting me answer one. I forced a smile before I entered her room. Guess what? She wasn't there. Her roommate told me she went out with Marlene, Uriah and Will a few minutes ago. Great timing.

It really is nice to know no one actually cares. I went back to my room and broke into sobs. I can cry freely here, knowing none of my friends are here at the moment. I would call my mom, but I was afraid she would say it is selfish and attention-seeking if I tell her I'm crying. That's the thing about the world, the universe even, no one actually gives a fuck, get that to your head already, I told myself.

Before, I would've thought Four was actually considered one of my friends. Now I'm not so sure anymore….

Four POV

Why the hell did I just blow up? Seconds after she left my room did I realize my mistake. She was fragile, I know that since the first time I saw her. I like to hear someone call my name, but then why did I blow up?

Maybe it was out of fear. I sunk to the floor. What am I going to do now? I've hurt her before, and never thought I did it again. But there you go, Tobias. Happy now?

"Good morning Four," Zeke said, stretching. "Go back to sleep," I muttered. "Ohkaay," he said and wrapped himself back in his covers. Soon, the all-too-familiar snore was back.

I, admit I regret ever snapping at Tris. She never deserved that. Everyone loves her, I can see that. Her friends are the exact definitions of what friends should be.

She's not hot or pretty. She's beautiful. Even though she's small sized, her heart is bigger than that. The way she walks, it's like she's not trying to attract attention, but it got mine. She walks with confidence, something everyone I know would never have done.

She is literally an angel from heaven. Tris is like a peacock, just waiting to shine.

I admire her. I love her.

All those thoughts, I wish I could take it back. But I know what I'm feeling for her now. I love her, I do.

But something made me snap back to reality. Another call.

It was my mother.

Zeke POV

I… will never tell him this, but I was half-awake the whole time from the minute he got a call from his dad. I don't know why I'm suddenly acting like an angel, must be because it runs in my blood.

Now I know why he won't tell me who he likes. Because he doesn't. He's in love with an angel. That is wrong. But love comes unexpected, with unexpected beings. I support him for that, unless he got in trouble for being with an angel then I'm out of here.

I wish I could tell him though, that Marcus was really not with Evelyn. He was drunk, I heard him through Four's phone. He was babbling on and on about something, with another woman the whole time Four was gone.

If I do tell him that, then I'll blow my cover. I should get up now, I thought. I heard the annoying buzz of Four's phone.

Or maybe not.

Okaaaay, not happy with how it turns out. I really don't hate anyone who reviewed, it's really okay In fact, I love you more for those kind reviews like omg I woke up and read it and honestly, no words could describe how I'm feeling right now :3 #VoteTris for the MTV awards, if you didn't know. Oh, and how do you know what angels do and don't? Unless you're an angel yourself ;)
