Hello there! Surprise! I know today is not a Tuesday but I decided to deliver a surprise chapter today. Don't worry I am still posting a chapter on Tuesday so stay tuned for it. Thanks for all the reviews for the last chapter. I decided to include the POV I mentioned here because I didn't think it would be fair to the guest reviewers so here it is.
Also I have heard a few concerns for the length of my chapters and I am sorry I can't really help it because I stop the chapter where I deem it to flow cohesively with the rest of the story but also where it still keeps up the suspense for what will happen next.
The confrontation-2
Four's POV
"You are being selfish" I am pretty sure Tris did not mean to say it that way but I am suddenly reminded of when Marcus used to say the same thing to me before. I am hurt because here an actual stranger is saying something but it probably rings true.
"I get it that you had a shitty experience with soul mates and that you are scared but that does not mean you can go on avoiding me. And no Uriah or anyone else didn't tell me the entire thing, just that you do not believe in soul mates" I know she is lying. Zeke told me a few days ago that Uriah told Tris that my mother died because of the soul bond, she does not know the whole story but that she is giving me time to talk to her when I am ready. I don't think I am ready, I really don't think I will ever be, my mom's death affected me more than I thought.
She looks at me, like really looks at me and I try my best to maintain a poker face. It is a little unnerving to stand under her gaze because she looks like she sees straight through me. That she sees through the mask I wear every day. She tears her eyes away from me and continues.
"You know it isn't just you to who this all is new. Did you ever think that maybe even I am new to this all? That I never expected to get a soul mate at all and was ready to live my life the normal way. And just because you popped up one day does not mean that I will ask you to marry me that instant, you are a stranger to me after all. I know literally nothing about you" I instantly feel disappointed because I never thought how it must be for her. To find someone people search for years so easily but then that person runs away? I hate that I didn't explain myself before and that I didn't even give her a chance. She runs down the stairs before I can even form a word. I want to follow her but I stop myself because that will be no good, she is angry now she won't listen to me. I punch the wall in frustration.
Zeke's POV
It's been awhile since Four left and I saw him talking to Tris from the door's peephole, Shauna is not home yet because there was new equipment delivered today and she had to stay a little later, so I just stay there lying on the couch and watching football (soccer for all you American people).
I hear a loud crash from the hallway outside my door and open the door to see Four there holding his hand close to his body and dent in a wall.
"Four, my man. You should know better than this. This is a wall, not a punching bag. If you wanted to let off some steam you could have just told me, we could go to Dauntless together" I say, trying to lighten the mood but also probing for information.
He glares at me and I instantly know that whatever it is that Tris told him affected him because he seems sad but also disappointed at himself. I know better than to ask questions now and silently lead him inside the apartment to bandage his bleeding knuckles.
He stays poker faced even when I apply the anti-septic and I know that he is in deep thought. I wish I knew what he was thinking now.
Please let me know what y'all think, I love reading the reviews.
