A/N So I was free and decided to write this chapter as I had some time. I hope it doesn't look too rushed but anyways please read and review! Have fun reading!
Tris POV
After I paid and left I turned around to see the look on Four's face it was priceless! He just looked so mad, amused and exasperated at the same time that I wanted to laugh out loud but I controlled myself and threw him a smirk over my shoulder instead.
As I was about to start my car my phone buzzed. I opened it to see a text from Four. How did he even get my number?
(Bold is Tris, Italics is Four)
Hey, text me your address I'm picking you up at 5:50. Be ready.
Okay, first how did you get my number and second why are you picking me up I can drive myself? Why does he want to do that I think to myself. He quickly replies
Well I know Christina too, she gave me everybody's contacts and we will need an excuse to get out together so why not? Also consider this a payback *evil smirk ;)*
Haha very funny Four. Fine I live at 406 Divergent street (Sorry I just had to do that :P) Don't be late.
Wouldn't dream of it. See you soon Trissy!
Do not call me Trissy unless you want to get your ass kicked later.
Okay fine Tris see you later.
I decide not to reply and begin getting ready as I'm showering I think back to today afternoon where I understood more about Four. We talked for quite a while and we both learnt a lot about each other. We have a lot in common like we both love Three Days Grace, Imagine Dragons and we love the color black also we like to read. So we never ran out of things to talk about. It was easy and fun talking to him.
I realized that at first glance he is a very closed-off person but once you get to know him better he is really fun company. Plus he is really handsome. But I had fun with him today I was almost sad when the text interrupted us but at least we will be able to talk at the club.
I decide on some high-waisted skinny jeans and a black crop top I know we won't do much today except have a few drinks and talk as it isn't the weekend so I decide against a dress. I also apply a little more makeup than usual. (Sorry for my limited fashion sense guys. I may be a girl but I am clueless when it comes to fashion :P)
After I'm done I glance in the mirror to give myself a once-over and once I am satisfied with my appearance I sit down on the couch and play on my phone until I am interrupted by a knock on the door.
I open it to find Four he's wearing black jeans and a casual t-shirt which shows off his muscles. Then I realize I have been staring and red creeps up on my cheeks so I quickly clear my throat and say, "Hey Four"
But he is in a daze and after a few moments responds or rather stutters out a hello. Why was he stuttering so much? I wonder to myself.
"So ready to go?" I ask him as he seems to have lost his ability to speak for now.
"Yeah sure let's go." He says and we both start walking towards the car but before I can open the door he opens it for me.
I decide to tease him so I say, "Once a gentleman, always a gentleman, eh Four?"
"It was my pleasure m'lady" He shoots back smirking and gets in his seat. We drive in a comfortable silence listening to some country music. I let my thoughts wander and they mostly wander to the blue-eyed boy beside me. It takes all my self-control to stop from reaching his hand and taking it in mine. I wonder how it would feel like.
But then suddenly the car stops and I realize that we're here already and without a word get out.
Once we reach the entrance I take a deep breath as I enter. Four sees that I'm nervous so he takes my hand in his and squeezes reassuringly. And the instant his hand touches mine it's like electricity is running through my arms. It feels as though my hand is on fire. It reminds me of the day in the gym when he placed his hands on my stomach.
But then he removes his hand as we get closer to our friends and I understand why but I still miss his warmth and my hand feels cold but I smile as I reach my friends.
There are only two empty seats left side by side so I sit in the one beside Marlene while Four sits with me on his left and Lynn on his right. As we sit down everybody says some greeting but Christina's eyes are fixed on me I guess she put two and two together. She smirks at me and I instantly groan knowing I am in for a thorough interrogation later.
About two hours, countless funny stories and ridiculous talks later everyone is tired and so we all decide to head home. Nobody drank much so everyone is sober and can drive their own cars. I just walk with Christina who came here with Will. Then I feel for my phone and realize that I left it on the table so I tell that to Christina and go back to grab it.
As I'm walking somebody grabs me by the waist I instinctively push back my elbow and with a grunt the person holding me releases his grip I use the moment and remove myself from the grip but as I hurry away he reaches for my wrist and holds on tightly and slurs, "C'mon baby you know you want me so just dance with me."
I freeze as I realize who the voice belongs to. Al. I look up and see lust in his eyes which disgusts me even more. As I try to pull myself out of his grip he places a hand on my thigh and starts moving his hands up and down my body I quickly clench my free hand into a fist and before he can react thrust it towards his nose.
There is a crack sound and blood starts gushing from his nose but his grip on me never falters and he starts to yell,
"You bitch! You will pay for this!" and he has a dangerous glint in his eye. I'm now scared so I yell desperately hoping that one of my friends will hear me, "Help! Somebody please-" but before I can finish he punches me in the jaw and I go sprawling to the ground as I attempt to stand up he kicks me in the side. And I scream out loudly.
"Shut up bitch there's no one here to save you." He growls in my face as I look around. I hadn't even realized he had dragged me into an alley. Suddenly two more people emerge from the shadows.
One of them has green eyes and brown hair. I recognize him he was one of Eric's friend. Peter was his name I always hated the looks he gave me and he has his minion Drew with him.
Suddenly I realize I am outnumbered and defenceless and at their mercy. I can just about imagine the outcomes of this situation and I am even more terrified so I scream as loud as I can but a sudden slap and kick silences me. I look up and see Peter's face looming. I spit on his face yelling, "Get away from me. Leave me alone."
His eyes turn murderous and in that instant I know I am dead. He lifts me up and holds me by the throat while his other hand gropes around my chest and says mockingly, "You sure you're 18 Stiff? Doesn't feel like much." He then gropes painfully and says, "Oh Wait I think I found something."
Then he rips my shirt off leaving me only in a bra. I feel terrified about what is about to happen but then I hear a shout and the unmistakable sound of someone running. My vision starts going black around the edges and suddenly Peter is ripped off me and I collapse to the ground.
I look up to see that Four and he is beating the crap out of Peter with a look of pure rage on his face. Peter is already unconscious so I croak out, "Four" before the ground seems to sway under my feet and my vision goes black.
-*Page break*-
I wake up to the sound of running water as I open my eyes I see the black and grey walls of my bedroom. I turn to the source of the sound and see Four step out of the bathroom. He looks up and sees that I'm awake so he slowly comes and sits beside me on the bed. On the way he grabs a ice pack and places it behind my head.
He holds it in place with one of his hand while the other skims the bruise on my jaw. Then as my eyes adjust I see that the knuckles on his hands are black and blue. Also he has a split lip.
"Your hands" I say in a hoarse voice.
"My hands are none of your concern." He replies in an even tone
I raise my hand and finger his lip electricity shoots through me but I don't remove my hand.
He sighs, "Tris." And places a hand on mine and redirects it downwards.
After a few moments of silence I ask, "What happened? How did you find me?"
He says, "I was waiting for you after all I was supposed to drop you home. I'm so sorry Tris if I had been paying attention none of this would have happened. I'm so sor-"
I cut him off by placing a finger on his lips then I take the hand which is skimming my bruise in mine. I can't help but notice that our hands fit together perfectly like pieces of puzzle that were meant to be. I stare at our interlocked hands for a moment before replying,
"None of this is your fault Four. They would've gotten me one way or other. It was only a matter of time Four. It isn't your fault and I don't blame you for it. Now continue the story without apologizing for anything." I tell him firmly. It was not his fault or any of my friends. It was all Peter, Drew and Al and I have no doubt as to who put them up for this.
He sighs but continues, "Well then I asked Christina where you were and she replied that you had gone back to get your phone. I was waiting and she was too but I told the rest of them to head home and not worry. So they left. Then when you didn't come for a long time I thought something was wrong. Turns out I was right." He says with a bitter laugh
Then he starts tracing circles on my hands which somehow calms me and seems to calm him too as I realize that he was getting angrier and angrier.
He takes a deep breath and continues, "Then I dashed back to find you but on my way there, I heard screams of somebody and recognized that as you. So I quickly followed the sounds and I saw those three and…." He can't continue so I nod and simply wait tracing circles on his hand.
He takes another deep breath and asks, "Who were they Tris? Why did they do this?"
I just look down and reply, "The large one was Al. He used to work with us in fact you were the one who replaced him after he quit. And he quit because he had asked me out and I rejected him so he got mad and tried to slap me but before he could do that I flipped him and he was really embarrassed. I guess it was his sick way to get revenge on me."
I sniffed as tears clouded my vision but I blinked them back before they could fall. Four simply asks again, "And the other two?"
I don't know why but I have this overwhelming urge to spill out everything to him but I don't want him to see me as some kind of broken person in need of sympathy and also I don't think I have the strength to recount everything that happened. It all brings back bad memories.
Suddenly I remember my parents and what they would think if they saw me now. Would they be proud? Or would they be disgusted that I couldn't defend myself and that if Four hadn't saved me I could have been raped. Raped. I hadn't even realized that I almost got raped and suddenly everything that happened today comes back to me. And the world comes crashing down. Tears start to cloud my vision again and I try to blink them back.
But Four just softly says, "Tris it's okay to show pain. It's just me here." And that's all it takes for the dam to burst.
Tears start cascading down my face and sobs wrack my body. Four doesn't say anything he just pulls me towards himself like last time and slings an arm around me rubbing comforting circles on my back. I just cry into his chest until I run out of tears and still Four doesn't say anything so I pull myself away and say, "Thank you Four. For everything."
He just smiles, a gentle smile that makes him look so soft and melts my heart and says, "Anything for you Tris."
I blush and as he realizes what he just said he blushes too but doesn't make any further comment after a few beats he says,
"Do me a favour and don't call me that." I look at him confused and ask, "What, Four?"
He just replies, "Yes."
I try again, "So what do you want me to call you?"
He looks deep in thought but says, "Nothing," and then adds, "Yet."
I just nod. He has shown me a side of himself which I doubt other people see. He puts on such a hard exterior but inside he is really caring and gentle. In his arms I feel safe and I have come to associate his scent with safety. As I think this I start to drift off and I think Four sees this too so he lays me down and starts to get out. With all the energy I have left I say, "Four stay" and then let the blackness take me away.
