Chapter Twelve
Four's POV
"So you haven't seen her?" Marlene, Shauna, and Lynn look slightly annoyed since this is my fifth time asking them.
"No, Four, so will just shut up with your stupid girlfriend search" Lynn says, not caring the looks she gets from people passing by. She is the type of person that doesn't care. I feel my face getting hotter.
"She's not my girlfriend. I have to talk to her."
"You can tell us Four, we're you're friends" Marlene says gently. She's the type of soft, caring person. My face gets even hotter. If that's possible.
"Can we just go, I wanna see Zeke and he already went to his hotel room" whines Shauna. She's the type of, well, everything.
"Yeah Four we better hurry so Shauna over here can see another version of me but less hot" Uriah says smirking. He's the kind of person that makes a joke out of everything.
I give in and we walk to his room. Even from three hallways away, you can hear Zeke's groans of pain. Shauna instantly starts running. Then we hear him... Apologizing? I hear a very familiar voice talking. I'm not sure what she's saying but I know it's her. I got there last because everyone else was there when I was just recognizing the voice. I jog in to see Shauna being held back by Zeke and Al carrying Tris by the waist. She's struggling against Al. I feel jealousy course through me again. She stops moving once she sees me. She stops pretty much everything she's doing. She just stares at me. I just stare at her.
"I'm sorry Al" I hear her faintly whisper. She kicks him where the sun doesn't shine with her heel. His face contorts in pain and he drops her and falls to the floor. As soon as her feet touch the floor she takes off. Lynn starts after her and so do I. She runs pretty fast for a girl her size. Then again I think it's what helps her run so fast.
"Get back here you little-"
"Lynn save it. It's probably a misunderstanding" I shout, breathing heavily, along with her breaths which are now coming out ragged. We stop and watch her take a sharp left turn. I take out the hotel key out of my pocket to see what number room she has. Lynn snatches it out of my hand.
"This her room?"
"Why do you care" I snap snatching it back.
"She's hurt my friend. I'm not letting that run by so easily."
"Why don't we just go back and have Zeke explain to us what happened exactly. It's late anyways and tomorrow we're going to the magic kingdom."
She scowls but starts walking towards the room. When we get there we see Shauna with a concerned look on her face, chewing on her fingernails. I see Zeke looking worried and expectantly at Shauna. She must be mad at him or must have something he wants.
"I'm sorry it just slipped out" says Zeke, sounding desperate.
"You really shouldn't have said that. You know it took me a while to forgive Four for pulling that stunt on the poor girl. I don't care if she hurt you. You had no right to call her that."
I instantly know what she's talking about. That day.
"What are you talking about" I interrupt.
Zeke looks at me like as if I did all of this. Shauna doesn't look at me. Uriah clears his throat.
"He was just telling us that that Tris hurting him was mostly a misunderstanding and that he had provoked her in the first place."
"How did her provoke her?" Uriah shifts from one foot to the other. He looks at Zeke waiting for him to say something.
"I asked how" I said clenching my fists.
"Calm down Four" Marlene says quietly.
"He called her condom girl" Shauna spits out.
Zeke looks down ashamed. I know why he looked at me like that. If I hadn't pulled that stunt the thought would've never come to his mind.
"I was just walking in and I see her and Al together I was just teasing them and I guess I went too far and called her 'that' and she kicked me where she kicked Al and I was apologizing and getting up but she just pushed me back down. I guess she stopped because she saw how sincere I was. Then Shauna came in and you know the rest" he says with shame at the edge of his words.
"She was already upset about something before that. I just made it worse."
I almost didn't catch that part because I was already running out of the door to her room.
