Divergent Transformed Chapter 38, a divergent trilogy fanfic

CHAPTER: 38 STAGE (TRIS POV)

AN: Hey Ravens! I feel sooooo bad for not updating! I'm so so so so sorry! It's just that the holidays are keeping me sooo busy. Still I hope you enjoy reading! :)

"Tobias." I say, poking his shoulder, nothing "Tobias." I say again shoving his shoulder, no reaction "Tobias!" I say punching his shoulder, he just turns on his side

"Oh you're gonna get it Tobias Eaton." I grumble, as I carefully put my headphones in his ears, slowly raising the volume on Lincoln Park.

"Huh? What? Ow! Ow! Turn it off! Turn it off!" Tobias says, finally realizing the headphones and ripping them out of his ears "That was load." He shouts, sitting up and rubbing his ears. I shrug still laughing while turning it down.

"It woke you up, didn't it? Which reminds me did you hear the drum beat good enough? Yes? Great! Don't mess it up tonight." I say

"What?" He yells, uh no now we have a broken drummer. I give him a worried expression "I'm just kidding." He says, I sigh

"But why would I mess up? You should worry about yourself." Tobias tells me, I look at him offended hands on my hip

"Ha, ha hilarious! Oh wait it's not." I say taking off his shirt. Then pulling out leggings and a long tank top from the closet

"I'm kidding but for reals are you ready?" Tobias asks, I look at him skeptical. He thinks I can't tell but I've known him long enough that I can see he isn't ready either.

"Hell to the no. But if anyone asks I was born ready!" I say slipping on the outfit then running a brush through my hair

"Same." Tobias says, getting up and also getting ready. I don't put much effort in looking good, since I'm going to have to change for the performance tonight anyway.

"I'm leaving you." I say looking over my shoulder at Tobias who is barely putting on his shoes. Guys! I swear they take forever! That's saying a lot coming from a girl.

"Hey, hey, hey! You ready because I... wait for it... drum roll please... am... not." Charlie says dropping her head

"That makes two of us." I answer, as we walk into the elevator that takes us down to the lobby where the cafe is

"Where's Tobias?" She asks, pushing the down button as the door closes

"I left him he was taking too long to tie his shoe." I say as the door opens

"Wow! I thought only I did that to my boyfriend." Charlie says laughing, I laugh too instantly getting hit with the excitement of breakfast in the cafe

"Guys over here." Zeke calls waving us over

"So, what were you guys talking about? We ran out of random topics to talk about so now I'm bored." Christina says

"Just how guys take forever to get ready." Charlie answers voicing my thoughts

"What? We're not allowed to look good?" Uriah asks

"Not when you keep your girlfriend waiting for you!" I say giving a pointed look at Tobias when he sits down next to me

"What did I just walk into?" Tobias asks, looking worried

"Huh? I've never had that problem." Christina says, ignoring Tobias

"Yeah, cause I don't have a death wish!" Will says

"Would explain why you look like that." Zeke says

"Oooooo!" Our entire table practically shouts. Will makes a frowning face, he looks like a cute little kid when he does that though. I don't think Zeke can resist so he's pretty quick to apologize

"I guess we're lucky." Veronica says linking arms with Lynn

"Definitely, hey there's Alex!" Alee says as he's walking over about to sit next to Charlie

"We were just talking about you!" Charlie says looking up at him

"Should I be worried?" He whispers to Jacob

"Maybe a little." Jacob answers, Alex scoots away from Charlie suspiciously, but of course he scoots too much so he ends up on the floor

"Ow." Alex says from the floor "Has anyone noticed how the ceiling is pink, but the floor is blue?" He asks, we all follow his gaze and it's true

"Looks like a nursery with food." Shauna comments, finishing her bread with butter

"Well this nursery is awesome! It has muffins!" Marlene says

"And Dauntless cake." Lynn points out, finishing up her slice. I laugh finishing my muffin and decide to take my coffee to go

"Ravens away!" I scream getting up and running to the car "Wait where are we going?" I yell halfway across the cafe

"The back of the studio/stage thing-y Tori told us to meet her in." Alee tells me

"Right! Where's that? I mean I totally know but just in case Uriah needs a reminder." I say pointing at him

"Nope I'm good." Uriah says with a thumbs up. I sigh, that so failed

"I'm coming." Tobias says getting up and following me out. I smile grabbing his hand. He smiles too kissing my cheek before opening my door

"Thanks." I say getting in as he starts the car. We start to drive and I turn on the radio

"Do you have the time to listen to me whine

About nothing and everything all at once" Tobias sings to me

"No." I say

"I am one of those

Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone

No doubt about it" He keeps singing

"True." I say agreeing, turning the volume up on the radio

"Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me" he sings again along to the radio

"I'm sure you do." I say, laughing at how cute he looks pouting. I kiss his pouting face which instantly makes him smile. We ride the rest way singing along to the radio

"This is the first time any of you have ever been early." Tori tells us happily as we enter the studio

"Don't make me regret it." Christina says, Tori shakes her head and ushers us to separate rooms to change.

My outfit was decided weeks ago. Charlie and I somehow convinced Christina to no dresses. She settled for the biker skirt, crop top, leather jacket, and unthank fully heels.

"Knock knock." A voice says followed by tapping at the door

"Come in." I say kicking off my shoes

"Hey, how does dark grey eyeshadow sound?" Alee asks, I give her a thumbs up and sit in the chair and she starts

"You know you make this a lot less painful than Christina." I tell her she laughs starting on my hair.

"It's so soft, how?" Alee asks stroking my hair I shrug, grabbing the mirror "you like?" She asks, crouching down to my shoulders so she can see me in the mirror

"It's awesome." I say, she smiles throwing me my clothes before leaving me to change. I throw on the outfit stepping outside.

"You look hot." Tobias says grabbing my waist and gently pushing me back against the door

"Not so bad yourself." I say placing my hand on his chest. He's wearing a muscle T that looks really good on him. Before I realize it he smashes our lips together. We finally pull away for air.

"Damn!" Zeke says, passing by before going to the next room. Tobias rolls his eyes a half smile on his red lips. Wait red?

"What?" Tobias asks, I laugh rubbing off my lipstick from his lips, and fixing my hair.

"I should have left it." I say thinking twice about it. It looked pretty funny. Tobias shrugs opening the door Zeke just went through.

"You know we would've given you two more time if you needed it." Zeke says, our album is playing in the back ground and Zeke is waving his hands in a weird way.

"What are you doing?" I ask, ignoring him, puzzled and I little worried, maybe he finally lost it...

"I'm going over the routine in my head, because I'm too lazy to get up. Obviously." Zeke answers, the door swings open again and everyone else soon piles in

"Okay showtime in a couple of minutes. Everyone ready?" Tori asks with a hopeful thumbs up

"How am I supposed to answer that?" Charlie asks

"Your supposed to say 'yes Tori I'm ready! Because your an awesome manager, and helped get me here! Thank you so much!' Then there's warm hugs all around." Tori says with a smile, I laugh nervously

"Or not." Uriah says

"That works too. Now go." Tori says pushing is back stage so we can step up when they tell us to

"Hello Las Angeles! I am your talk host Nita! Tonight is the big performance, for their latest album, of our one and only Ravens!" This is instantly followed by cheers from the crowd. Nita steps down and we take the stage

"We love you!" I a group of girls yells at us, holding up our album. I smile stepping up to the mic as everyone else sets up. I wait a little before Charlie and I start.

"Run away with me

Lost souls and reverie

Running wild and running free

Two kids, you and me

And I say

Hey, hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Renegades, renegades

Long live the pioneers

Rebels and mutineers

Go forth and have no fear

Come close the end is near

And I say hey, hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Renegades, renegades

All hail the underdogs

All hail the new kids

All hail the outlaws

Spielberg's and Kubrick's

It's our time to make a move

It's our time to make amends

It's our time to break the rules Let's begin

And I say hey, hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Hey hey hey

Leaving like we're renegades

Renegades, renegades"

"Let's give it up for Ravens! Their first hit song on their newest album, Renegades!" Nita says stepping off again as we can start the next song

"Sing it out

Boy, you've got to see what tomorrow brings

Sing it out

Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs

For every time that they want to count you out

Use your voice every single time you open up your mouth

Sing it for the boys

Sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world

Sing it out, boy they're gonna sell what tomorrow means

Sing it out, girl before they kill what tomorrow brings

You've got to make a choice

If the music drowns you out

And raise your voice

Every single time they try and shut your mouth

Sing it for the boys

Sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world

Cleaned-up corporation progress

Dying in the process

Children that can talk about it,

Living on the webways

People moving sideways

Sell it till your last days

Buy yourself a motivation

Generation Nothing,

Nothing but a dead scene

Product of a white dream

I am not the singer that you wanted

But a dancer

I refuse to answer

Talk about the past, sir

Wrote it for the ones who want to get away

Keep running!

Sing it for the boys

Sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world

Got to see what tomorrow brings

Sing it for the world

Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs

Sing it for the world

Sing it for the world"

"And that one we all know and one of my personal favorites, Sing!" Nita says, I look at the crowd again still smiling at how they know all know the lyrics and dance moves perfectly. Like how are they better at this than me? I shrug it off and start the next song

"Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Until your-your-your-your, forever, forever

I need more dreams

And less life

And I need that dark

In a little more light

I cried tears you'll never see

So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean

And leave me be

You are what you love

Not who loves you

In a world full of the word yes

I'm here to scream

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll, rock and roll

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll

Until your breathing stops, stops, stops

Until your-your-your-your, forever, forever

Blood brothers in desperation

An oath of silence

For the voice of our generation

Whoa

How'd it get to be only me?

Like I'm the last damn kid still kicking

That still believes

I will defend the faith

Going down swinging

I will save the songs

That we can't stop singing

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll, rock and roll

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

You are what you love

Not who loves you

In a world full of the word yes

I'm here to scream

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll, rock and roll

No, No

Wherever I go, go

Trouble seems to follow

I only plugged in to save rock and roll

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no

Oh no, we won't go

'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no"

"Who doesn't want to keep this music. Let's give it up for Save Rock and Roll!" Nita says making the crowd go wild. They all quite as Charlie and I step up to the mic again

"I wanna rock (Rock)

I wanna rock (Rock)

I want to rock (Rock)

I wanna rock (Rock)

Turn it down you say

Well, all I gotta say to you is time and time again

I say no (No)

No no, no no, no

Tell me not to play

Well, all I gotta say to when you tell me not to play

I say no (No)

No no, no no, no

So if you ask me why I like the way I play it

There's only one thing I can say to you

I wanna rock (Rock)

I want to rock (Rock)

I wanna rock (Rock)

There's a feeling that

I get from nothing else and there ain't nothing in the world

That makes me go (Go)

Go go, go go, go"

"I Wanna Rock! Let's hear it for the best song ever!" Nita says, I take a deep breath a begin the last song

"This is gospel for the fallen ones

Locked away in permanent slumber

Assembling their philosophies

From pieces of broken memories

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds

But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

This is gospel for the vagabonds,

Ne'er-do-wells, insufferable bastards

Confessing their apostasies

Led away by imperfect impostors

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world

Bury me alive

'Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart"

"But of course there must always be the big show stopper the grand finally! Which is This is Gospel!" Nita says, I can't stop smiling my hands are still shaking. I turn on my heel a smash my lips with Tobias

"Awwwww!" The crowd squeals, I giggle and sit down on a chair folding my legs

"Okay so obviously we all have questions so I'll just ask the most common. How did you decide to start the band?" Nita asks us

"That one is really simple actually. So we were in the cafeteria, and someone had the amazing idea of starting a band and we all reluctantly agreed so here we are!" Lynn says

"Wow just like that huh? Well another question is how do you come up with all your songs?" Nita asks

"Well Six and I are actually the songwriters here. So... yeah how do we come up with songs?" Charlie asks turning to me, oh no she didn't!

"Um... well we try to make songs that have a message that people can relate to. Like I Wanna Rock for example. I think anyone can hear that and well wanna rock." I say

"Yeah what she said." Charlie says pointing at me

"Very true! Okay so like all in all how well do you guys think you work as a team? With the dancing and singing and practicing?" Nita asks

"Honestly dancing is hard and some people think it's easy." Alex says putting air quotes around easy

"Look singing is hard too." Veronica says, Alex turns to her and they get into a footsie fight

"This is the Story of Our Lives." Jacob whispers into the microphone, it's really directed to Nita and the crowd

"So this may seem like we are constantly fighting but we work pretty well... when we want to." Will says

"When we want to." Nita repeats laughing

"Personally I think it really helps that we've all been friends for a really long time." Tobias says

"Im sure it does. Okay last question because I think our crowd wants some autographs from you guys. So you all have a great fashion sense. How do you come up with all this merchandise?" Nita asks

"You can leave that question to our designers." I say pointing to backstage. Where Christina, Shauna, Marlene, and Alee emerge waving at the screaming crowd

"Well Marlene and I come up with designs, Alee makes them, and Christina argues with stores so we can sell more, but everything is run by Tori." Shauna tells everyone

"Their awesome manager." Tori says walking onto the stage with Georgie and Bud. Also followed by screams.

"Well then this great! So tell me what is like working with them?" Nita asks Tori

"One word. Crazy!" Tori says the crowd laughs

"It's true but their a great group." Bud says

"Okay last last question I promise what exactly is your favorite merchandise?" Nita asks

"Mine is the Raven earrings." Christina says, someone in the crowd yells same

"I like all the tops but doing the make up is so much more fun." Alee says

"I absolutely love the Raven necklace!" Marlene says this makes the crowd go wild

"I guess we all agree. Alright let's hear it one last time for our Ravens!" Nita says, we all get up and clasp hands raising them above our heads at the screaming crowd

"Thank you Las Angeles! You guys are awesome!" I say into the microphone. The spotlights flare different colors and circle around the whole room as our voices play in the background.

"I suggest the back." Nita whispers to us, walking off stage I smile at the crowd and go through the back it's still pretty crazy

"We did it!" Charlie yells jumping on top off me I don't expect it so I fall forward. Apparently that's an invitation to do the same. So soon we all end up as a pile of limbs on the floor.

"Seriously guys? Ugh whatever get a pen and go do some autographs." Georgie says, trying to hide his laugh but he's failing pretty hard at looking professional.

"I call the pink pen!" Marlene yells dashing for the pink one then heading outside. I grab a red pen then head outside to sign

"They're so shy it's adorable." I whisper to Charlie finishing off the last person

"I know they're like um here Um thanks. Then they practically hug the paper to death." Charlie says

"Someone made me sign their jacket." Tobias says

"You have no idea how many times I was gonna write Tris instead of Six." I say laughing

"You get used to it." Tobias says

"That was great guys! Really good job." Tori says walking behind us and giving each of us a hug

"Bye Tori!" We all scream, she waves at us as she gets in the car with Bud and Georgie

"Well this was fun but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna drop dead any second." Shauna says laying her head on Zeke's shoulder

"Same." We all say in unison

"Good night everyone! I'll see you tomorrow." I say getting up with a yawn as Tobias follows me to the car. I turn on the radio and one of our songs is playing. I smile and fall asleep looking out the window

"Sorry." Tobias whispers, my eyes fly open at the load bang caused by the door slamming shut.

"Smooth." I say closing my eyes and leaning my head back on his shoulder from my spot in his arms.

I'm instantly falling asleep. The last thing I remember is Tobias placeing me on the bed then crawling in with me. I'm pretty sure he says I love you and kisses my forehead. I would say it back but I'm too far gone.

AN: Bye Ravens! Please review or PM, it would mean a lot cause it was my B-day this week! As always I think the songs are awesome! Anyway I'll see you next time, Tris will finally publish the entire Divergent series! :)

•DISCLAIMER: What do I own? Definitely not songs or Divergent! But I do own this stolen copy of Divergent, just kidding (maybe) ;)
