Chapter #15:Knight in shining armour
Four POV
As soon as Lily leaves my apartment I flop onto my bed with a nice cold beer. I know its sad to drink alone so I call up Zeke. He picks up on the third ring.
"Hey man" Zeke says I can tell he is smiling through the phone.
"Hey, why are you so happy?" I ask.
"Can't I just be happy to hear from my best friend?" He says, yup he definitely just got laid.
"Whatever, can you come over? You know how I feel about drinking alone"
"Why are you drinking?" I sit up on my bed as if to brace myself.
"I broke up with Lily" I hear him not so manly gasp.
"Be over in ten" And without saying another word he hangs up the phone.
Just like Zeke said he's over in ten no sooner or later. Zeke makes himself at home and gets a beer from the fridge while I turn on the football game.
"So you wanna tell me why you broke up with her?" Zeke asks once we are seated and watching the game.
"If I have feelings for someone else or even doubts about the relationship, I should end it. Its not fair to Lily" I say.
"You sound like a girl" I whack his arm.
"Well I should because those are Tris's exact words to me" He stares at me like I grown two heads.
"She told you to break up with Lily?" He tries to connect to dots.
"Yes but not the way you think"
"Not the way I think?" He screeches "When a girl asks a guy to break up with his girlfriend it means…. it means...she's likes him"
"The only reason why she suggested it was because….. because I kissed her" He does another one of throughs girly gasps.
"So you kissed her then she said breakup with your girlfriend? Dude thats so obvious, even I know this" He says pointing to himself like he's a genius.
"But you don't get it… She said she doesn't want a relationship with me" I say.
"Oh sorry dude" Zeke says and then pats my back in consolation.
"Whatever dude" And we go back to watching Sports.
-x-
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this" I pout as we enter the club.
"Dude, you just broke up with your girlfriend, you need to get drunk and have fun" Zeke says.
"I can't get too drunk, I have work tomorrow" I say hoping he won't push me to much.
"Fine. I'm going to get us some drinks, you go grab us a table" He points to me then the table area. We go our separate ways. He comes back with a couple go beers. He face is in a pained expression.
"What?" I ask.
"Tris is over there…" He says and I look over and sure enough she is there and talking to some guy. "And talking to a guy" He continued.
"I can see that" I say with a snappy tone. What about Elliot? Its clear to me that she wants to be with any other man but me "So hows you and Shauna?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"She great, we have too much fun together. You should come over a barbecue, the three of us"
"Yeah that sounds great"
About an hour later I see Tris and The Guy get in a heated conversation and by the looks of how close he is to her they are going home together. They better go to his place. Its clear they are both hammered, Tris more than The Guy. When she takes of her heels and says one more thing to him, she then walks the exit without him to my relief but my heart drops when I see him soon follows after downing another drink. In this time I have completely forgot Zeke is talking to me.
"Bro have you heard a single thing I have said?" I shake my and laugh.
"Look man, I have work to do tomorrow and I need a good night sleep. We can talk at the barbecue later" He nods and I get up from the bar and head to the exit. To be honest the only reason I stuck around was for Tris and now that she's gone home with some guy….. But when I get outside I see Tris and The Guy arguing.
"Let go of me please" She asks. Is this really happening? I decide to step in.
"The lady said let go" I say, we continue to argue until he says something that really bugged me, I soon had enough of him and his mouth so I give him a good punch to the face. He falls to the ground while I take Tris in my arms, I try to comfort her by whispering sweet nonsense in her ear, but soon we get into a taxi and she falls asleep on my lap but not before whispering
"My knight in shining armour"
Tris POV
"Eric" The man says.
"Nice to meet you" I shake his hand. He gives me a smile but now that we're at the bar where there's light I see his face a lot better, and his eyes look cold. Thats weird.
"Back at you" He takes the back of my hand and gives it a kiss. This is getting kinda creepy.
"Can you order us some drinks" I ask, he nods then turns his attention to the bar tender. I check my phone and see a text from Christina.
"Sorry I had to leave, there's an emergency at the hospital and they needed everyone on call. Marlene and Shauna should still be there but they might have went back the their apartment because they saw you with some guy. *Wink* *Wink*"-Christina (10:34)
"No problem, call you tomorrow"-Tris (10:54)
When I look back I see Eric has ordered us 10 shots of tequila. Does he see how much I weigh? Is he trying to give me alcohol poisoning?
"Well drink up" He takes a shot and I follow suit.
-x-
About an hour later we are both hammered, I can hardly stand up. Its almost midnight so I think I should head home…Home.. Where is home? Oh yeah I live with mister hottie… Yeah I get it now. I really shouldn't have had that last drink.
"Well Eric I had fun" When you weren't being creepy. "But I think I should get going" I grab my bag and start to stand up but my heels are making it harder than it should. Damn Christina.
"Why don't you come back to my place?" Eric says standing up as well and pulls my body next to his, the height difference is insane, I don't even reach his shoulders. Just like Four.
"I don't think so, I have a boyfriend" I lie, I'm not that drunk that I would go home with a random and creepy guy. I start walking away but since I'm still having trouble walking I take off my heels and hold them in my hand my the stiletto.
"You aren't going anywhere" He says and grabs me so hard I know I will have bruises tomorrow.
"Yes I am. I'm getting a taxi then I'm heading home and hopefully never have to see your face again" I start getting really irritated.
"You don't get to be a prick tease, you flirt with me all night and you won't even come back my place?" He growls in my ear.
"I was not flirting with you" I say disgusted. I yank my arm out of his grasp and speed walk to the parking lot, since there is no one in my way I get there in about a minute, I hail a taxi but just as it is coming up I feel a strong hands grasp my hips me.
"I told you to leave me alone" I growl at Eric.
"And I told you that wouldn't happen" He says and I turn around and see evil in his eyes.
"Stop"
"Don't you feel our connection?" Is he insane?
"I think you delusional" I say but he just grips me harder, I let out a little scream of pain because he is squeezing my ribs to tight.
"Let go of me please" I plead but he isn't moving, just as I am about to scream for help I hear a familiar deep voice.
"The lady said let go" Four growls. Damn he's hot. Focus.
"She drunk and doesn't know what she is saying" Eric turns to come face to face with Four and still has not released me yet. "She wants a real man, one that can fuck her into oblivion"
"Let her go if you know what's best" Eric's evil laugh fills the air, but stops when Four's hand come into contact with Eric's jaw. Eric falls to the ground after letting me go and trying to use his hands to catch his fail.
"What the hell man" Eric howls out him pain. Four pulls me into a hug.
"Are you okay" He whisper into my ear and rubs my hair trying to calm me.
"Yeah…. Thanks for saving me" I whisper back. I hold onto him for dear life.
I have refused to let go of Four's hand as we get into the taxi. Eric is still on the ground moaning in pain from Four's powerful punch. I rest my head on Four's lap and starts falling asleep right then and there. Four saved me, he is my knight in shining armour. I think before I fall alseep.
-x-
I wake up with a pounding headache and a need to throw up, I turn over in bed and see on my bedside table 2 Advil and a note.
Good morning, Tris
I have to go to work but I will be back later.
See you soon,
Your knight in shining armour. (Also known as Four if you're to drunk to remember)
Oh boy do I remember, What! I said that out loud? Anyway his note makes me smile. He always knows how to make me smile. Thats when it hits me.
"Hello?"
"Hey Elliot, I made a decision" I say into my phone.
