A/N Hey guys. This is a surprise chapter. I decided to do this one as I might not be uploading for a long time due to my exams which begin from 27th. So enjoy!
Christina POV (Ha! Bet you weren't expecting that)
I just came into office today and I'm worried sick about Tris. She hasn't answered her phone yesterday like at all. Granted, she does do this often but this time I have a really bad feeling that something has happened. I'm determined to get it out of her when she comes today. I know that yesterday Four drove her home. I have to grill about that too but it will be later. Not now.
As another half hour passes with no sign of Tris or Four I start to get even more worried and apparently I am not the only one. Everyone looks tense then suddenly Zeke comes running in and asks us, as by now we have gathered in a huddle discussing what might have happened,
"Hey has Four come yet?" He asks in a frantic voice and I can tell he is worried too. After all Four is his best friend and Tris is like a sister to him.
We all shake our head and he curses under his breath, then Uriah asks the question which is on all of our minds, "Why? What happened?"
Zeke just shakes his head, "I don't know. Tori called me and asked and guys she was crying or rather she had been crying I could see."
We just stare at him dumbfounded. Tori? Crying? It doesn't make any sense. And what does Four have to do with this then?
And it seems that Will has the same question and he asks it to Zeke but once again Zeke just shakes his head and says, "Look man I don't know anything else too."
I then get really mad. What the hell is happening? Why doesn't freakin' anybody know? So I almost snap at him but then Four himself walks in. He looks exhausted, he has dark circles under his eyes and he is walking as taut as a wire and I can immediately see something has happened. His knuckles are split and bruised I wonder what could have happened.
We all see him at the same time and rush over to him. Instantly we all bombard him with questions. He starts looking madder with each passing second and finally yells, "Shut up people!" When we all stop he composes himself and in a much calmer voice says, "One at a time."
Immediately everyone raises their hands like students asking teacher a question, he then nods at me to ask and I just blurt out, "Is she okay? Where is she? Why didn't she come?"
And I am about to ask more but he cuts me off by replying, "Don't worry Christina she's fine she just is not feeling well so she is at home, resting. She was not feeling well so she didn't come."
I am a bit relieved then so he asks Zeke next.
Zeke asks the thing that has been on our mind, "What happened yesterday?"
I can instantly see him tense. His fists clench and he grinds his jaw hard. There is pure anger in his eyes but he tries to control his voice though a bit still leaks through and to see him like this terrifies me. He is usually intimidating enough but today I am really scared of him.
He then says in a controlled voice, "I can't tell that to you-" and he is about to continue when Zeke lets out a noise of protest and starts ranting, "We know her better than you Four, we have a right to know-"
At that Four looks seriously pissed off and hisses in a quiet, deadly voice that sends shivers down my spine, and not the good kind mind you,
"I know that Zeke. Tris wants to tell you herself so she asked me not to tell you anything."
He says that and walks away leaving us staring after him in a stunned silence. Then we see Tori approach him and she does indeed look like she has been crying.
They exchange a few words and then Tori leaves and Four follows her to her office I presume. After they leave everyone is still silent then Uriah speaks,
"Well that was anticlimactic." And though it isn't funny everyone at least cracks a smile and the tension fades away.
"So what do you think we should do?" Mar asks
Will then says, "Well I think we should leave Four alone for now. He is obviously pissed if he wants to talk he will talk. I don't know about you guys but whatever happened right now scared me shitless."
At that everyone nods and it's true. Four manages to scare more in a quiet deadly voice than yelling. And he is super intimidating.
Then Uri says, "I think we should visit Tris later. If she wants to tell us then she will but we shouldn't push her. If Four looked that pissed it must mean something bad. So for now lets get back to work."
We all reluctantly agree and after a few more minutes the door to Tori's office opens and Four strides out. He looks so, so much pissed than before.
I can literally feel pure rage radiating off of him. And he glares at whoever dares to cross his path and his glare could chop you up in pieces. Everybody moves out of his way terrified of what might happen if they open their mouth.
He walk even more stiff, and his eyes look dark with anger. This scares me even more, what the hell could've happened? I've never seen anyone this pissed before.
As I wonder to myself I see Zeke lead him out of the room. Good move. Who knows what could have happened? But frankly I'm a bit scared for Zeke too but I know Four wouldn't intentionally hurt him.
The tension in the room is palpable and you could cut it with a knife. Though nobody acknowledges what just happened, I can see that everyone is thinking about it. I try to focus back on work but my thoughts keep drifting and after a few minutes I give up.
Then Zeke comes out a serious expression on his face and a minute later Four follows he looks more composed than before but still angry. He doesn't say a single word nor does he look at anybody. He simply picks up his stuff and leaves.
Still nobody dares to speak and finally Zeke breaks the silence by saying, "I am really scared. I've never seen Four look so angry before. Well only once and that was not a happy memory."
This worries and scares me even more but I have to keep my head level and right now the only way I can think of is drowning myself in work. I know it isn't healthy but right now I can't do anything else so I say,
"Well guys there's no use debating about what happened so let's just get back to work. The sooner we finish the sooner we can leave and finish and visit Tris."
I hadn't thought of that before but right now it just seemed right and it wasn't entirely a lie anyways. I do want to see Tris soon. Everyone nods but Will.
I think he knows why I said that. Dang! He knows me well. I try to ignore his gaze but I know he will anyway talk about it later but right now I want a few moments alone.
I mouth later to him and everyone disperses off to their own work.
A few minutes later he comes.
"So mind telling me what that was all about. I know that you know Tori will let us off whenever." He says and it's true if we have a legit reason she'll immediately let us off.
I stay silent for a few more moments and then say with a sigh, "I don't know Will, I'm worried sick about her and it's scaring me. I'm afraid to see her, what condition she might be in. So I'm trying to distract myself from those thoughts." As I say tears start forming in my eyes but I blink them back and Will doesn't acknowledge them.
He then says, "Don't worry Chrissy everything will be fine and even if it isn't we'll get through it. You know that Tris is one tough cookie, right? So lets not worry about it before we have to." With that said he places a soft kiss on my lips and then leaves.
I sigh and look to the mountain of paperwork I have to deal with. All I can say is that it's gonna be a long, long day.
