AN: Thanks so much for reading. I'm disappointed that we couldn't make it to 11 reviews before the next update. Let's try for 12 this time, okay? Please review!
Four POV
Tris looks at me, tears in her eyes. I reach out to comfort her, but she smacks my hand away. I try again, but this time she starts crying out in pain. I try to help her, but there is nothing I can do. Tris melts into the ground screaming "This is all your fault!"
"Wake up man!" Zeke yells at me, ice cold water soaking me. I blink the water out of my eyes. "You wouldn't wake up. Were you dreaming of Tris?"
"More like having a nightmare of her. Did you have to dump water on me?" I ask him. He shrugs.
"You're late. I was just saving the time of taking a shower for you." I roll my eyes.
"I'm getting up. I'll be ready soon" I say, climbing out of my wet sheets.
I dig through the piles of boxes for my suitcase and nearly tripping over it in the end. I grab some clothes and head to the bathroom. I take a shower anyway and get ready as soon as I can. Today, we are picking up Shauna from the airport even though we don't have a car. Real smart Zeke.
Walking out of the bathroom, I am greeted with smoke. Smoke hovers in the air, making it hard to see. I walk into the kitchen and see Zeke opening windows frantically. Burnt cinnamon rolls sit on the counter. The fire alarm goes off and I cover my ears instinctively. Beep! Beep! Beep!
After a few minutes of trying to get the alarm to turn off, Zeke finally succeeds.
"At least we know it works" he says sheepishly. I roll my eyes and smile.
"Hurry up, we only have half an hour and I'm starving" I grumble.
"Alright. Let's go to that café" Zeke says.
"Alright, let's go" I say, walking out the door.
We walk to the café quickly. We're the only people eating there. Christina immediately takes our order.
"Hey guys. What can I get you?" she asks.
"A blueberry muffin and a cup of green tea please" I order.
"A donut and coffee" Zeke orders. Christina walks away quickly, seemingly in a hurry.
"You can't eat a donut for breakfast" I tell Zeke.
"Can too" he argues. I roll my eyes and don't respond. I glance at Christina and see her pull out a phone and dial a number. She talks animatedly while pacing and Zeke notices me watching her.
"I didn't think she was your type" he says.
"She's not" I answer.
"Then why are you stalking her?" he asks.
"I am not stalking her" I say, irritated.
"Whatever you say" Zeke teases. I roll my eyes yet again.
Christina comes back and sets down our order before retreating again. We dig in, seeing as we have ten minutes left.
A minute later, the bell on the door chimes and I look up to see Six walk in. I watch as Christina smiles at her, slinging an arm around her shoulders. Six glances at me, then looks back at Christina with irritation.
"You said you needed help here" I hear her say.
"Well, everyone just left" Christina answers.
"What's she talking about? It's been empty" Zeke says, also watching them. I shrug as Christina brings our bill. I glance at my watch; five minutes left.
Zeke leaves some cash and I finish the rest of my tea.
"Thank you Christina" I say as we walk out.
"Bye" I hear back.
"That was weird" Zeke says. I nod; it was odd.
We catch a cab to the airport.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Terminal B4" he says.
"Where's that?"
"No clue" he answers. We spend five minutes reading signs and getting lost before finding B4.
"There she is" I say, nodding with my head. Shauna sees us and immediately gives Zeke a hug and kiss before hugging me also.
"Where were you two?" she asks.
"Uh, you know. Lost here, lost there" Zeke answers, earning a smile out of her.
We catch another cab back to our place, chatting with Shauna along the way.
"So how are you?" I ask.
"Good. Did Zeke tell you? I got accepted into UCSF's nursing program."
"No, I was not told" I say. She laughs, shoving Zeke playfully.
We arrive at the house, and I let Zeke take all of Shauna's bags. She's staying with us for a little while.
"Where's my room?" Shauna asks.
"Across the hall from mine. Sorry it's so small, but Four took the bigger one" Zeke says.
"So not true" I mumble. We help Shauna unpack, and by the end of the few hours of laughing, teasing, and arguing, I'm exhausted.
"Where do you want this?" Zeke asks, one of Shauna's bras dangling from his hand.
"I told you not to touch that bag" she says, pointing to the only suitcase that was untouched and snatching the bra from Zeke. Zeke laughs, whispering something in her ear that makes her blush. Then, she punches his arm. I laugh as Zeke pretends to die and Shauna continues to pretend she's murdering him. I excuse myself before the fighting turns into a full out make out session.
I head to my room and sort through the boxes. I start unpacking, and a few minutes later, hear Shauna and Zeke's moans. Disturbed, I close my door.
I turn the radio on and turn the volume up. I unpack the rest of the boxes and check the time. 3:30. The Lounge opens at 6.
I crawl into bed, deciding to take a nap so I don't pass out mid conversation later.
O.o.O
I wake up at 10:34. Cursing, I climb out of bed and find some fancier clothes. I brush my hair although there isn't much to brush. I also brush my teeth and grab something to eat. I find Zeke and Shauna cuddling on the couch.
"I'm going to the Lounge, want to come?" I ask.
"What's that?" Shauna asks.
"It's a club. Four wants to go because he found a pretty girl" Zeke says. Shauna laughs and I scowl at him.
"Not true" I say.
"Yeah right" he retorts.
"Let's go" Shauna says.
"Alright, let's go" Zeke says. They get up, and I'm already out the front door. Of course, Zeke is right that I want to go because of Six, but I will never admit it to him.
Zeke and Shauna run to catch up to me. I check my watch again. 11:00. One hour until they close. I really need to learn to get ready faster.
We arrive at the Lounge shortly. It's as busy as the night before. Zeke and Shauna go to the dancefloor and I weave my way through the bodies to the bar. The bar is as busy as the other night and again, Six's station moves the fastest. I see Christina again, talking to Will. She sees me and waves, and I wave back.
I wait for five minutes for a seat at Six's station to open up. At last, I snag a seat next to a few giggling girls.
"Hello there" one says to me.
"Hi" I say.
"You come here alone?" she asks.
"Yeah."
"Who you going home with?" she asks. Six I wish.
"No one." The girls giggle.
"A hot guy like you never should go home alone" she says, scooting closer.
"Oh" I say lamely, scooting back.
"I'm Nita" she says. The others giggle behind her.
"I thought you weren't going to show up" Six's sudden voice startles me. She gives Nita a cold look, and Nita gives one right back.
"Yeah, I lost track of time" I say. I glance at my watch again. 11:16.
"Well, I'm glad you made it. I just got off shift" she says.
"Then why are you still back there?" I ask.
"Waiting to take your order" she says, leaning forward. I hear Nita snort from next to me, but I ignore her.
"Then I'll have beer" I say.
"What kind?" she asks.
"I trust your opinion" I answer. She smiles and turns around. She comes back a minute later with two glasses of beer in hand. She sets one in front of me and keeps the other for herself.
"Now why are you still back there?" I ask.
"There's nowhere to sit. I would hate to stop my conversation with you." I chuckle quietly and take a sip of beer.
"So what's your real name?" I ask.
"How about I get to know you better" she says. I groan.
"You're too difficult" I tease. She smiles.
"So I've been told."
"So what do you want to know?" I ask. She thinks for a minute, an expression on her face that seems familiar.
"What's your favorite color?" she asks.
"Wow. It's black" I say. She laughs and ducks her head. She takes a sip of beer before speaking again.
"Mine's blue. Dark blue, almost black. It's been that color since high school" she says, giving me a knowing look.
"I see. What else do you want to know?" I ask.
"A girlfriend? Exes?" she asks.
"No girlfriend. One ex. A few one night stands" I answer. She nods but doesn't speak.
"Favorite song or musician?" she asks after a while.
"I don't know. I like Adele. And Queen. And some rap music" I answer.
"I can see Queen and rap, but Adele? I did not see that coming" she says.
"Adele is a somewhat new obsession. After my girlfriend left me in high school, I could relate to her music more. It grew on me" I say.
We talk more until someone announces closing time.
"Tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah. How about 10:00? I'm not working tomorrow" Six says.
"Yeah see you then." I head towards the door.
"Bye" she calls.
"Wait, your name!" I say halfway out.
". . .It's-" I don't hear the rest of what she says because the bouncer throws me out and closes the door on my face.
Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
I find Zeke and Shauna waiting for me a minute later.
"How was talking to your lady friend?" Zeke teases.
"I do-"
"Don't lie we saw you" Shauna probs.
"I Don't even know her name" I say.
"Sure" Zeke says.
