Chapter 5
Four POV
When I wake up, I smell food. And I also am back into the realization that my dad is dead. I don't know where my mom and brother are, or if they even know. I doubt it. My brother is older than I am, and he and my uncle would help beat me. It was awful. I shut my eyes and remember I don't have to deal with it anymore. Relief sweeps over me. I hear a knock.
"Who is it?" I ask.
A small voice answers. "It's Tris. I have some food if you want to eat."
"Come in." I say.
She comes in and is holding a plate with pancakes, bacon, and eggs. And a glass of orange juice. She hands me the plate and fork, but sets the cup on the nightstand. Then she goes to leave. She turns around and says, "Tori told me about your dad. I'm so sorry." And she shuts the door behind her.
Man, she is something. I eat the food, which was delicious, and I go downstairs. I don't see Tori anywhere, so I assume she went to the restaurant. I look at the clock. 10:35. I hear a TV on. I go into the living room. Tris is on the couch, watching TV.
"Can I join you?" She jumps a little, but then nods. I think I startled her. I chuckle to myself. She looks at me, a confused look on her face. "What'a so funny?" "Did I scare you when I asked?" She looks at me for a minute, and nods. We're still looking at each other, and I'm swept away by her eyes. They're beautiful. She's beautiful. Snap out of it, Four, you don't like her. You can't like her.
I look at the time, and decide to leave. I have to come back though. My stuff is still here. I want to go to the restaurant and ask Tori if it's alright that I stay a while. I say bye to Tris, and leave.
Tris POV
I get up and make breakfast. Tori told me before she left that Four is here, sleeping, and she told me about his dad. That is just awful.
I make pancakes, bacon, and eggs. I pour a glass of orange juice before giving it to Four. I knock softly on his door.
"Who is it?"
"It's Tris. I have some food if you want to eat." I answer shakily.
"Come in."
I give him the plate and fork and set the glass on the nightstand. I turn to leave, but stop and say, "Tori told me about your dad. I'm so sorry." I leave and shut the door behind me.
I go downstairs and watch TV, and about 10 minutes later, I hear a voice.
"Can I join you?" I jump a little bit. He starts laughing. I turn to him. "What's so funny?" He looks at me and says, "Did I scare you when I asked?" I nod, and find myself looking into his eyes. His gorgeous eyes. Stop, Tris. You don't like Four. He's popular, and attractive, and he would never like a broken girl like me.
He decides to leave about 30 minutes later. I flip through channels and fall asleep on the couch.
Tori POV
I'm cleaning around the restaurant When Four walks in. He comes straight to me and asks if it's okay that he stays for a while. I say yes, and I can tell in his eyes that he's excited. His dad just died, he shouldn't be like this.
"Four, come here." I tell him. He walks over, waiting for me to continue. "Your dad just died. Why are you so excited?" He looks uncomfortable, so I place my hand on his shoulder.
"You can tell me." He avoids my eyes, and mumbles something inaudible. "What was that?" He drags me outside and looks at me and says, "I think I like Tris. Like, a lot."
I shake my head at him. He looks up and says, "What happened in Chicago anyway?" I don't want to tell him, but someone should know. I take a deep breath, and start.
"She was coming home from school and..."
Hey there! Authors note! I appreciate all of your feedback. And don't worry, Tori telling Four isn't going to be a bad thing. Tris will be mad, but she'll get over it. There WILL be Fourtris. I ship them. So hard. Anyway, thanks for reading and please leave reviews! If you don't though that's okay too. Thanks again for reading, and stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold. (:
