Sorry about the long wait I have a lot of stuff going on. Here is chapter 5 I hope you like it. As usual I own nothing.
I turn around and see her standing there looking at me. I involuntary shrink back towards the lockers hating myself for doing so.
"Molly" I reply coldly, well aware that everyone's eyes are on us wondering what is happening.
"I asked you a question stiff. How's your shoulder doing?" She asks cocking her head to the side an evil smile on her face. I hate feeling so small and scared around her.
"What are you even doing here Molly?" I ask her.
"I moved here, didn't your stiff friends tell you that" she starts "basketball here is a big deal and you know how good and determined I am to play" she says taunting me.
"Whatever" I whisper looking away seeing Tobias looking this way out of the corner of my eye trying to understand the situation.
Next thing I know I'm being pushed into the lockers with Molly's hands squeezing my shoulder tightly. I bite my bottom lip to keep from crying out in pain. I see Tori from across the hall looking but I shake my head slightly telling her not to interfere, this was my fight.
"Don't get in my way stiff because I can do so much more than just hurt your shoulder" she says in my ear so no one can hear.
"Ok enough. Break it up" Tori says from behind her. But we keep glaring at each other. Finally, Molly backs away with her group of friends but turns around before she's too far.
"Say Hi to your parents for me Beatrice. Oh right I forgot sorry" she says laughing and walking away. I start to lunge towards her but Tori holds me back.
"Not now and not here Tris" she says after a few seconds I look at her and our eyes lock.
"Are you ok" she asks. I shake my head not being able to speak tears threatening to spill over. I look to the side and see the whole hallway looking at me. Some are laughing, some look shocked and some looking angry, I look to Tori pleadingly.
"Get to class!" She yells and everyone except my group of friends clears away.
"Go home, I got you an appointment at 3 for you shoulder. Put some ice on it and be careful Tris. We'll talk about it later." She says, hugging me.
"Ow" I say, she pulls back, looking at me.
"I'll call to get you an earlier appointment ok?" she says.
"I'll be fine Tori" I say lying even to myself.
"I know Tris. Now go" she says. I turn around and see Christina and the others looking at me with pity in their eyes. I can feel tears forming in my eyes and I run out of the school.
Tori POV
I can't believe that little brat is here; it isn't enough that she made Tri's life miserable in her old town now she has to torture her here too. I swear if she lays a finger on Tris I'm getting her expelled from this school. After a couple hours I decide to check in on Tris so I call her but she doesn't answer, after 5 times and no answer I decide to get help from the one person she wants to see right now.
"Tobias" I whisper next to him at his locker.
"You want me to go find her?" he asks looking concerned. I nod scared of what Tris might do.
"I know you know where she is. Besides she won't want to talk to me" I say.
"Don't worry Tori, I'll find her and talk to her" he says, smiling slightly and putting his hand on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Thanks Tobias" I reply.
Tobias POV
Once my second class is done I head to my locker thinking about Tris and the girl in the hallway this morning. She looked so broken, that's not my best friend that I've known for so long. Obviously she forgot and neglected to tell me what really happened to her. Once I get to my locker I put my books inside.
"Tobias" I hear Tori whisper, I turn my head to look at her and see how scared and concerned she is.
"You want me to go find her?" I ask her concerned knowing that she doesn't know where Tris is.
"I know you know where she is. Besides she won't want to talk to me" she says.
She's right I know exactly where she is, the Chasm. It's a waterfall that falls into a river not to far from the school and the park we were at the other day. She used to go there when she was feeling either angry or sad; usually, she either wanted to be alone or for me to find her. When she would leave at the end of the summer, she used to spend her last moments there and that's where I would find her. We were the only ones that knew of the place well at least the spot we went to.
"Don't worry Tori I'll find her and talk to her" I say placing my hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"Thanks Tobias" she says before turning around and leaving.
I grab my backpack and head out of the school telling Zeke that I'm not feeling well and going home. I run out of the school to the Chasm, which isn't to far all the while thinking about her. Once I get there, I follow the small path to the flat rock and see her sitting there, rocking back and forth with her blonde hair whisking away from the wind from the water. I slowly approach her, trying not to scare her.
"Tris" I say calmly although my insides are squirming and wanting to pull her into my arms and comfort her.
"Go away Tobias" she says not even turning in my direction.
"I'm not going anywhere Tris" I say sitting down next to her.
Tris POV
"What happened back there?" he asks me. I turn my head to the side and look at him he looks concerned. I debate on whether or not I should tell him, he is pretty much my best friend after all even if we haven't seen each other in a while.
"Remember when I told you about how I got into a fight?" I say
"Yeah… what about it?" he says looking confused.
"One night after my parents died, I was walking back home I passed by an alley, Molly attacked me and she damaged my shoulder pretty badly. That attack was the reason Tori came down and decided to move me here with her" I say looking at the water.
"What a brat" he says after a couple seconds of silence, I look at him and he looks angry. I start laughing at the name he called her. He looks at me and starts laughing too, I lay on my back not able to contain my laughter.
"Do you know why she did it?" he asks seriously.
"Probably because I'm better at her at basketball and the coach made sure she knew it. But that won't be a problem anymore" I say looking away again.
"Tris, look at me" he says. I turn my head and look at him. He pushes a stray piece of hair behind my ear leaving his hand on my cheek; heat reaches my face at the touch.
"I told you I'll help you get back into shape, you'll beat her again and I can show you a couple self-defense moves if you want. Show her how good you are even if she put you down Tris. And, check your messages I think Tori got you an appointment to therapy sooner today, I'll go with you. If you want" he adds softly at the end.
"I'd like that Tobias" I say smiling softly.
"Tri I…" He starts, his hand still resting on my cheek.
"What?" I say putting my hand on top of his.
"I think I like you as more than a friend, but I know you have a boyfriend and I don't want to overstep my boundaries or anything" he says. I pull away confused.
"What are you talking about Tobias?" I ask him.
"That guy you were with the other day at Tori's place" he says blushing a little. I start laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" he says almost looking angry.
"Tobias, that was Caleb my brother. I don't have a boyfriend and by the way, I like you too" I say smiling at him. He smiles back at me and puts his hand back on my cheek and leans in. He kisses me slowly and softly and I smile into the kiss. We pull apart after what feels like hours. He leans his forehead on mine, both of us breathing heavily.
"I missed you Tris. You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that" he says
"Me too Tobias" I say smiling, happy for the first time in a while.
"Come on I'll take you to your appointment" he says getting up and offering me his hand.
Alright, so I know I made it happen quickly but that's how I wanted it.
Let me know what you think, I'll try to have another chapter up soon. Hope you liked it!
