"Do I have a crush on four?" Tris asked herself slowly….
Tris's Pov:
Tris shakes her head out of the thoughts of Four and continues to put on extra layers of clothing on. She puts black sweat pants and sweat shirt over her crop top and leggings. She also puts her hair in a high pony tail and fix's up her makeup. She looks at herself on more time before walking downstairs to see everyone is there and they were waiting for her. Tris sits next to Lynn and Four.
"It's about time you finish getting dressed we've been waiting for you!" Zeke shouts taking a sip of his water. "Since I'm the oldest of this house I'll go first." Zeke says smirking looking around the room for his first victim.
"Marlene….Candor or Dauntless?" Zeke asked smirking with confidence
"I don't trust that smirk so I'll go with….Candor." Marlene says smug
"Who is your crush?" Zeke asked grinning
Without hesitation Marlene takes off her jacket and looks around the room on who should go next. I start playing with my hands in my lap till I finally look up to see Marlene eyeing me with a smirk.
"Candor or Dauntless Tris?" Marlene asked
"Well I am the best here so I'll go with Dauntless." Tris says proudly and sits up straight in her chair waiting for her dare.
"I dare you to go the whole day tomorrow without your brothers." Marlene says smiling like that was the best day ever. Tris looks at Marlene and all the emotion from her face drops and her face becomes emotionless. Tris looks Marlene in the eye and shakes her head out of pain and hurt. Marlene knows it's hard for her to be without her brothers and that without them she's not herself. They to keep her sane. Tris notes never to forgive Marlene again because she feels that Marlene only did that to get closer to Uriah. Tris actually thought she was her true friend.
"Fine…I guess." Tris says with no emotion. She looks around to see that no one knows how she's feeling and no one knows she hurt and that's how she would like to stay. Tris looks around for someone to call on when her eyes settle on Four's.
"Candor or Dauntless Four?" Tris says emotionless as before
"Candor." Four says with a smirk. Usually she would come up with a good truth but after what happened Tris is still really upset.
"Who's your crush?" Tris says stealing her brother's truth. Tris looks in those handsome blue eyes and looks at that cute smirk….Wait what? Tris snaps out of her thinking and waits for Four to answer. Four takes off his shirt with no hesitation. Tris looks down at her lap and starts to think.
"Who does he like?"
"Is it someone in this room?"
Tris snaps out her thinking when she hears Four say Uriah's name.
"Uriah Candor or Dauntless?" Four asked looking over to Lynn and Marlene who are smirking. Tris looks at the them in confusion on what's going on. Uriah smirks and nods at them.
"Um dauntless duh I'm no Pansycake!" Uriah says being the cocky and childish guy he is.
"Well I dare you to ask your crush to go out with you tomorrow." Four says with a shrug.
"Easy" Uriah says walking over to Marlene who's blushing. "Marlene will you go on a date with me tomorrow?" Uriah says trying to play it cool.
"How could I pass an offer like that up?" Marlene says leaning up and giving Uriah a kiss on the cheek. Tris starts trying to figure out what happen and it hit her like a ton of bricks.
"They don't want me around so they can go on their dates with the girls they like…Wow why couldn't they just have told me that they were going on the date? Do I bother them that much?" Tris asked herself thinking about why all this happened. Tris holds in her tears when finding out that her best friend/brother/rock doesn't have the balls to tell her that he wants his space. Tris finds herself getting up and walking toward the stairs when a voice stops her.
"Tris where are you going?" Uriah calls out to her. "The party isn't over yet it's just started!" Uriah says grinning like a love sick fool.
"I'm going upstairs….I'm tired" Tris says like an emotionless robot and walks upstairs not waiting for him to respond and she goes in her room slams her door shut and locks it and goes over to her bed and lays down while silent tears fall out her eyes. Tris cries and cries finally before she goes to sleep thinking about the words her brothers told her.
"I could never leave you"
"I promise to always be there for each other."
Time Skip to the Morning
Tris wakes up and it's like 30 minutes before her brothers wake up and decides since she has to spend the whole day without her brothers that she will make new friends and train for when she becomes Dauntless in 2 years. Tris brushes her teeth and hair and puts on some eye liner and mascara. Tris puts on yoga leggings and puts on a loose crop top. She goes to her full length mirror and grabs her combat boots and heads down stairs only to find that her brothers are sleeping on the couch with their girlfriends. Tris stops where she's at on the step and puts her boots on and ties them and tip toes to the door and closes it quietly before breaking into a run all the way to the knife throwing station. Tris starts throwing knifes for about 20 minutes when a voice startles her.
"Are you sure you should be here?" A voice says getting closer to the station she is at. Tris turns around to see its Four. Tris rolls her eyes and starts throwing knifes again hitting a bull eye.
"Why did you leave the party so early yesterday?" Four asked standing next to her watching her carefully. Tris stops what she is doing and turns her head so she's looking at Four.
"Why are you asking me so many questions?" Tris says bitterly making eye contact with Four while glaring at him.
"Ill answer your question when you answer my question…Deal?" Four says sticking out his hand to shake with her. Tris looks at his hands and turns away and starts throwing knifes again.
"Deal…I left because I wasn't in the mood to play Candor or Dauntless and yes I can be here because I'm training. Now answer mine." Tris says hitting a bull's eye again.
"Well I guess I buy what you're trying to say but I don't think it's the full truth on why you left but I'll leave you alone." Four says before grabbing her lightly pulling her to him. Tris looks up to see that their foreheads are almost touching and he leans in close to her ear. "If you ever need to talk just know I'm here for you…It's me saying thanks for helping me jump on and off the train." Four says before leaving her standing there shocked and her cheeks filled with blush.
"What just happened?" Tris says in her head.
Tris continues to practice until she looks at the clock to see that it's time for breakfast. Tris walks to the cafeteria and notices that everyone is at the table laughing and having the best time. Tris would usually smile and be happy but to know that she can't be near her brothers makes her face fall into an emotionless mask to hide her emotions. Tris grabs her food and walks to find a place to sit. Tris looks up to see Four trying to wave her over to the table. She looks at him and shakes her head before leaving and heading towards the chasm. Tris sits and eats her food. When she's done she sits there and starts thinking.
Tris stays there for about the whole day. Tris didn't bother trying to eat lunch knowing that she has to sit by herself. Tris starts thinking about how her brothers probably don't even care she's gone and that she's not even missed. Tris starts thinking how the only person who actually made and effort to talk to her was Four. Tris is about to leave when she's eye to eye with Four.
"Hey I haven't seen you all day….Why didn't you sit with us at lunch or breakfast?" Four asked with hurt in his eyes. Tris looks at them a wonders why he looks hurt that she didn't sit with them.
"Because Marlene dared me to go the whole day without my brothers so I'm doing my best to stay away from them." Tris says Irritated "Why do you care anyways?" Tris asked with bitterness evident in her voice.
"Well I care because you're like one of my closest friends who I care about….." Four says not making eye contact with her as he starts rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. Tris eyes become wide and shocked with his confession and begins to blush. It's awkward for a few moments before Tris sits down and pats the sit right next to her for Four to sit down.
"Sorry for being mean to you today…..It's just I'm not feeling like anyone really cares about me anymore and my brothers don't even want me in their lives anymore…..They rather have girlfriends." Tris says on the verge of tears.
"I'm sure that they care about you and of course they want you in their lives you're their sister." Four says trying to cheer her up a little.
"Yea you would think that but not once today did they ever try to make an effort to try to find me or try to see if I was okay….only you." Tris says with tears flowing out of her eyes and wipes them before continuing. "I feel like they planned this day to happen because they felt that I was in the way….if they wanted space I would give it to them but instead of telling me that they wanted a date with their girlfriends they decided to stab me in the back everyone knew and I'll never forgive them especially Marlene and Uriah." Tris says with venom coming out through every single word. Tris looks at Four who is looking down with a sad expression on his face.
"Sorry for not telling you Tris…." Is all Four says looking down at his lap. Tris is taken back and hurt by what he says but lets it go because he made in effort to make it right.
"I forgive you Four but please don't EVER hide stuff like this from me." Tris says sighing and smiling at Four. Four looks at her in complete disbelief.
"Really?" Four says grinning at her. Tris nods her head and smiles back.
"Yea really, only because you made the effort to make things right with me and…..Your like my best friend." Tris says smiling looking Four in the eyes. Four smiles then it turns in the a slight frown,
"I thought Uriah was your best friend?" Four asked slowly
"Yea keyword "Was" but you more than showed how much are friendship means to you and you've been there for me since the day we met." Tris says grabbing his hand and interlocks fingers and smiles at him. Four looks at their joined hands and blushes a little bit.
"Good because you're my best friends too… on one condition." Four says smirking cockily
"What's your condition?" Tris asked rolling her eyes and sighing playfully.
"You have to sit with me at dinner." Four says with a serious face expression and continues to talk. "It's really not fun without you…Pleaseeee Tris?" Four says pouting like a little kid.
"Um sure but I'm not going to talk to anyone other than you." Tris says letting go of his hand standing up turning to leave the chasm before turning around to face Four. "You coming to dinner or not?" Tris says with a cocky smirk.
"Coming." Four says standing up and walks over to Tris. "Bet you your dauntless cake I can beat you to the cafeteria." Four says getting in the running position.
"You're on number boy." Tris says smirking getting the position as well. Four shakes his head and smiles at Tris.
"You ready?" Four asked
"Of course!" Tris says "1"
"2" Four says looking at Tris
"3" They say at the same time running to the Cafeteria.
Time Skip to Cafeteria
Tris and Four both make it to the cafeteria at the same time. Tris and Four look at each other and laugh. Tris puts her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath. After about 5 minutes of trying to catch her breath she stands up and look up to see Four staring down at her smiling.
"Why are you looking at me?" Tris asked getting into line while grabbing a tray.
"Nothing…Just that was one of the most fun I've had in a while." Four says grabbing a tray and plate. Tris looks at him and smiles as she starts putting food on her tray. They grab their food and head to the table where everyone else is. Tris stops for a second looks at the table and walks to the end of the table where Four is and sits next to him. Tris ignores all the eyes on her and starts eating her food.
"Hey Tris where were you this morning and afternoon?" Shauna asked taking a sip of her water. Tris looks up and shrugs her shoulders and finishes chewing her food before responding.
"Doing stuff." Tris says flatly before continuing to eat. Shauna looks at her waiting for her to elaborate but Tris just continues to eat her food. Zeke stares at Tris suspiciously.
"What kind of stuff?" Zeke asked irritatingly squinting is eyes at her trying to understand where she was. Tris makes eye contact with Zeke and rolls her eyes and laughs bitterly.
"Why does it matter where I was? Did any of you come and try to find out?" Tris asked hypothetically speaking. "Because if any of you actually cared and looked for me, which none of you did you would know I was sitting by the chasm…..But It doesn't matter right because as long as you guys had your dates then it wouldn't matter where I was….what great friends and brothers I have." Tris says sarcastically looking everyone in the eye except Four. Everyone looks at her in utter shock. Tris gets up and starts walking before she pauses and turns to Four.
"Told you that they didn't care." Tris says flatly walking out of the cafeteria crying her eyes out. Tris runs to her house and shuts the door and goes upstairs into her parent's room locking the door and begins crying. 1 hour later she hears her brothers come into the house. Tris sits on the bed and turns on the TV to find a home-made video of Uriah, Zeke, and her as little kids. Tris and Uriah were 5 and Zeke was 7. Tris starts crying when she hears what they say about her.
"Zeke what do you love about your sister?" asked her son who is laying on the couch with Tris sleeping in his arms.
"She is the bravest girl I ever met in the wholes wide world. She's is the bestest sister anyone could ever ask for!" Zeke says in his kid voice.
"Uriah what do you love about your sister?" asked her other son
"Shes me bestest friend I gots! I wuv her so much! I don't know whats I do wit out me sister, shes me other half." Uriah says walking over to Tris and kisses her on the cheek.
Tris turns off the video once she hears her brothers come up the stairs. Tris hears them go into her room looking for her. Tris hears Uriah curse and walks out and try's to open up their parents room door. After a couple times of not being able to open the door Uriah starts banging on the door.
"Tris open the door!" Uriah says yelling through the door. Tris rolls her eyes and picks up a magazine and starts reading it.
"Um I'm kind of busy right now but um you can try again later!" Tris says smirking. "No promises, I probably still won't open the door! So why don't you take this time to LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" Tris says yelling through the door.
"Tris please I want to talk to you!" Uriah says begging a desperate tone. Tris laughs bitterly at her brother and makes it sound like she's thinking.
"How about NO!" Tris says angrily
"Tris we don't understand why you're so mad at us!" A frustrated Zeke says through the door. Tris gets up from the bed and opens the door with fury raging in her eyes. Zeke and Uriah looks at her and Uriah tried to speak but Tris cuts him off.
"Wow you still don't get it huh?" Tris rhetorically asked her brothers. "I'm mad! No I'm angrily! No Furious at you guys because you both planned for me to leave you guys alone knowing I have anxiety about our parents! You didn't care though! Your both selfish and only care about yourselves! You had your girlfriend dare me to leave you alone for a day! And you want to know the funny thing?" Tris laughs while crying angry tears. "I would have let you guys have your time if you asked…..All you had to do is ask…" Says looking at both of her brothers in disappointment. She turns to Uriah and shakes her head in shame. "You broke our promise…and I-I don't think I can forgive you for that." Says crying looking at Uriah. Tris was about to turn away when she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"Tris I'm sorry I know what I did was wrong but please don't turn your back on us where sorry!" Tris turns around to see both her brothers have tears in their eyes. Tris looks at them for a minute. She takes a deep breath and sighs.
"I still don't think you understand why I'm upset…I find it funny how you guys didn't think twice about making a plan to get rid of me. It's also funny how you didn't think once about me until Four made me come to dinner. To set it all off is that you had this all planned out and not once did you think about how it would hurt me! I bet if I never had brought it up….you wouldn't have told me…..So no I won't forgive you!" Tris yells angrily. Tris starts walking away again but this time she stops herself and turns around one last time.
"I hope on my faction test I get a different faction then this one…Maybe Candor because at least ill know I can trust them….Maybe amity because there too nice to hurt anyone. I want to just go somewhere other than here because apparently 5 people, 2 of them being my family want me to leave! Maybe that's just what I'll do." With that Tris walks in her room and slams her door and starts to cry and cry and cry. Tris hears Uriah punch the wall before going into his room and slamming it shut while he sobs. Zeke just shuts his door. Tris gets up 2 hours later and walks downstairs to get something to drink when she hears a knock on the door. Tris opens the door to see Marlene, Shauna, and Lynn standing outside the door.
"Hey um are the guys here because we haven't talked to them since dinner." Marlene says worriedly. Tris looks at them emotionless before pointing towards the stairs. Lynn looks at Tris angrily before exploding in anger.
"Tris what the hell? We make one mistake and now you can't talk to us? We thought we were your friends!" Lynn yells at Tris. Tris rolls her eyes and looks at them with a bored expression.
"Are you done?" Tris asked flatly before waiting for a response. The girls nod their heads and she continues talking, but this time her voice is filled with venom." Right I got stuck on the "thought." part to." Tris says shaking her head in disappointment. "See if you were my "Friends" you wouldn't have asked me to stay away from my brothers for a day because you guys felt I was "In the way"! If you were my "Friends" you wouldn't have known and remembered I have anxiety and that my brothers are the only people who help me be sane and calm me down. FRIENDS don't plot a plan behind the other friend's backs! If that's what you guys call a friendship I DON'T want anything to do with you…..And I know you guys didn't come to see if I was okay you came for my brothers...If you were my "FRIENDS" you would come to see if i was okay not them!My brothers are upstairs." Tris says emotionless walking upstairs but pauses and turns around.
"You might want to grab a first aid kit…..there's one under the sink in the bathroom I heard Uriah punch the wall and maybe one of you guys should bring them both some Dauntless cake." Tris says softly about to go upstairs when Shauna's voice stops her.
"Why are you helping us I thought you were mad at us?" Shauna asked softly looking at Tris. Tris laughs a bit and looks all three of them in the eye.
"I may be indescribably mad at them and you guys…..But that doesn't mean I don't care about my brothers! And if you guys were really my friends you would know my brothers takes priority over friends…But then again let's face it we were never friends, you only hung out with me because of my brothers." Tris says in a hurt tone. "Do me a solid and take care of them" Tris pause "And if you don't do it for me do it for them." With that Tris goes into her room and starts trying to fall asleep but can't when she realizes she misses her brothers but quickly dislodge that feeling and pushes it to the far back of her brain and shuts her eyes.
Time Skip to Next Day
Tris wakes up to birds chirping and sunlight shining on her face. Tris smiles and then her smile drops when she starts to remember what happened yesterday. Tris starts to feel a part of her missing like her other half. Tris starts thinking about how hurt Uriah looked yesterday before she said she wanted to leave. She remembers him crying at every word she said and looking in his eyes to see the pain in them. Tris also starts to think about how Zeke looked yesterday as well. Zeke looked the same way he did when their parents died. Tris shakes the thought and puts on sweat pants and a sweat shirt before going down stairs to see Uriah eating Dauntless "O" 's with his right hand bandaged up and Zeke looking all depressed on the couch watching TV. Tris grabs a bowl from the cabinet and grabs the Dauntless "O"'s from Uriah.
"I really am sorry for breaking our promise. I feel so horrible and I'm sorry for being selfish! I'm sorry for everything Tris I can't-"Uriah says cutting off his own sentence breaking down in to tears I've never seen before. Painful tears like he just watch someone die. "I can't do it without you Tris...You're my other half you're my glue that keeps me together, you're my best friend and I'm so sorry I didn't see that I was being a jerk to you… I'm sorry Tris please forgive me." Uriah says wiping his tears out of his eyes. Tris gets up and grabs a paper towel and walks back to the table and gives him the paper towel while sitting down next to him. Tris sighs for second before responding.
"It's really hard for me to be mad at you because you're my twin and basically me in another body…I decided that I'm going to forgive you-…" Tris says being cut off by Uriah hugging her and kissing her on the cheek. Tris pats his back awkwardly, Uriah notices that she isn't hugging her back he pulls back with a face of confusion.
"I thought you forgave me why are you acting like you haven't?" Uriah asked with a hurt face. Tris looks at him and calls for Zeke to come to the table. Zeke sits across from them but doesn't look her in the eye.
"I decided that I will forgive you guys….everyone….But I don't trust you guys anymore and if you want to have the relationship we had before you're going to have to earn my trust back…..I still love you guys and I'll always be your sister but just not as close." Tris says with a sad smile. Uriah nods his head understanding and gets up and leaves. Zeke sits there a second in shock.
"Did you really mean what you said yesterday about leaving us?" Zeke asked clenching and clenching his fist. Tris nods in response. Zeke gets up and heads for the door and doesn't look back. Tris lets out a breath and sighs before she starts thinking about how shes going to tell Four she might leave Dauntless.
