Chapter 8

The car ride is filled with an awkward silence. Both Four and his dad are glaring at each other. I'm just sitting politely in the back. I decide,that the silence is officially driving me crazy.

"So, how was your day Mr..." I say, realizing I don't know Four's last name, nor his father's.

"Mr. Eaton. But you can call me Marcus." He says. His voice seems very cold.

"How was your day, Mr. Eaton?" I ask in my sweetest voice.

"Pretty good. Aren't you Andrew's Daughter?" I guess he recognizes me.

"Yes."

"Oh! I've been working with Andrew for years." He says. Throughout this whole conversation Four says nothing. Marcus starts glaring at Four.

"How was your day, son." Marcus says in way that doesn't make it sound like a question, but more like a command. Four looks... scared.

"Good." He says in a quiet voice.

"Good. What score did you get on your algebra test?" Marcus asks.

"An A." Four responds.

"What about you, Beatrice?" Marcus asks, taking a break from glaring at Four.

"A+" I state.

Finally, we get to my house.

"Goodbye, Beatrice." Marcus says. When Four doesn't say goodbye Marcus turns to him and says, "Say goodbye to her, Tobias."

"Goodbye, Tris." He says glumly.

"Goodbye. Thank you for the ride, ." I say, then run up to my porch.

I wait at the doorstep until I see their car drive away. I then enter the house quickly, grab all my clothes and force them into a bag, say goodby to everyone- yes, including Captain Poser- and run out the door to Tori's.

I knock on her door. There is no answer. I knock again. This process repeats until she opens the door with a groan.

"Why are you knocking on my door at 12 pm?" She asks. I guess I know what time it is now.

"Well, you see, I thought tonight would be a good night for a sleepover." I say. At this Tori's expression changes from one of tiredness to one of excitement.

"I'll get the popcorn, you get the movie." She says before running off. I laugh. I'll never get over how much she loves sleepovers.

I walk into her living room and choose Mean Girls. You can never go wrong with Tina Fey! Tori comes in seconds later with popcorn in a bowl. We sit down on her couch and start the movie.

- One Hour and Thirty Seven Minutes Later - (and before you asks, yes, I did google how long Mean Girls was)

After the movie Tori turns to me.

"So, what's up?" She asks. Every time I say I want to have a sleepover, it means we are going to talk about something big. Like, huge big. Or maybe it might be small big and I just want to talk to her. Either way, when I say I want to have a sleepover, it's code for 'I want to talk'.

"Captain Annoying's my friend." I say. Tori's eyes widen.

"Please tell me this is a joke?" She asks. I sigh.

"I wish. You see, after work I was really bored, so I decided I wanted to go on an adventure. But you know how boring it is to adventure by yourself, right? Well, I told Four he could come along which somehow led to becoming friends." I explain.

"This is a problem! You could have definitely interrupted my book club for this!" Tori exclaims.

We talk until 4 am. Tori is first to fall asleep. I stay up about five seconds later than her.

- Time Skip -

I pull my jacket tighter around myself. I am walking in the pouring rain without an umbrella. I have walked three miles. I am so close.

I see it! The car! I see Tori's car! Yes! I run up to the car and start hugging and kissing it. I don't care about all the weird looks I'm getting. Someone actually tells me to "Get a room". I don't even care.

I unlock the car doors and climb inside. I see my phone. I kiss my phone as well. I am so unbelievably happy to be out of the pouring rain. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, I just don't enjoy walking three miles in the pouring rain.

Suddenly my phone vibrates. I simultaneously realize I'm still kissing my phone. I answer it.

"Can I come over?" A hoarse voice asks. I gasp, tho voice sounds so... broken.

"Who are you?" I ask. I don't really want to let a stranger into my house, broken or not.

"It's Four. You're friend, remember?" He says.

"Yes. I'll pick you up. Where are you?" I ask.

"Just meet me at the school."

Ok, yeah. I published this chapter before the AN. Sometimes I forget. I'm adding this AN because I feel like I'm talking to you guys and I enjoy that. I enjoy our conversations, random internet strangers (who aren't really strangers, but more like family).

Sorry I haven't been updating a lot as of late, I just have been... actually, I don't know what I've been doing. What have I been doing? Procrastinating? Yeah.

I'm not sure if I've already told you guys this but go listen to 'Not About Angels' by Birdy. It is amazing. It is so great and it's on the TFIOS soundtrack. Oh my god, I love that song. And I feel like my sister is spying on me... And when I wrote god like three seconds ago, autocorrect changed it to h**. What the heck.

Well. 150 reviews please!

And since Cliché ended, I'm going to start a QOTD here.

QOTD: How has your life been?
