SONG: "LAST NIGHT" BY THE VAMPS (youtubedotcomslash + watch?v=UFja5rb2XDc)
FOUR'S POV
I was leaning against the railing in the Chasm. The music was loud and I couldn't focus my vision. It was the day the final rankings of initiation were announced. Zeke was beyond happy because his job was over for this year. I was glad to have my friend back at the Control Room.
Zeke and Lauren were the instructors, Zeke got the transfers and Lauren got the Dauntless borns.
I had a bottle of beer in hands and my friends around me. Zeke had his arm draped across Shauna's shoulders, bottles in their hands as well. Uriah and Lynn were are having a shots competition.
Lynn won.
"Hey, Uriah, where's Marlene?" Zeke asked.
"She's getting ready with the girls. She'll be around soon," Uriah's voice was dragged, and I could barely understand what he said.
The group laughed because his words were slumped from the alcohol,
"I love this song!" Shauna shouted when the next song started. She began dragging Zeke by his hand.
Zeke grabbed my hand and I grabbed Uriah's. Not a chance I was going alone, even if I was drunk.
We were dancing to the beating of the loud music in the middle of the Pit, throwing our hands to the sky.
I hold my hands up high
And throw my glass into the sky.
Since the Dauntless compound was underground, I actually threw my hands to the ceiling.
But when the morning comes
We'll never see the sun.
We danced for a few minutes until the Pit gets really crowded, so we went back to the place we started this night: the Chasm.
And if the walls close in
Then let's just start it all again.
And that was the best decision, because a girl stood there with Marlene. Her clothes hugged tightly her short and thin, but strong body. Her long blond hair fell in smooth waves in her back, making her look like an angel. Her grey-blue eyes were demanding, well-marked with dark make-up. Her spare lips were painted a deep red. I wanted to press my lips to hers in that moment.
Uriah ran (stumbled) to his girlfriend, embraced her in a soft hug and kissed her lips intensely. And I wanted to do the same with the girl.
That's when the evening comes
Oh yeah the evening comes.
"Guys, those are Christina, Will and Tris," Marlene pointed to the three humans standing beside her. I didn't notice Christina and Will before.
"Nice seeing you again, guys. And as full members of Dauntless!" Zeke says. Oh, they were part of the transfer's pack of this year. "Now, there are rules to hang out with us," Zeke starts, pointing his finger to the three, "Nobody goes home before 6 a.m."
"Yeah! Nobody is going home tonight!" Uriah shouts.
No, we're not going home tonight
And that is true. Not once I hung out with the Pedrad's, Shauna, Lynn and Marlene and came back home before morning.
Wake up, the stars are shining
And the first thing when I reached my apartment was sleep. I had never woken up before the night was on again.
We'll do it all, we'll do it all
We'll do it again.
And my friends were already calling me to repeat the night. Which I never refused because it was part of the "rules".
"Fine by me," Tris said. Her voice was deeper than I expected to be from someone her height. It was beautiful.
Christina and Will nodded, agreeing too.
"Also, you have to get drunk on night one," Zeke smirked while handing dark bottles to them.
"Night one?" Will asked.
"You'll see," I said.
Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
I wake up with a bright light in my face. When I try to open my eyes, I see Zeke pointing a flashlight at my face. "C'mon, man! Wake up! Its' already dinner time. We have to eat something before partying again tonight."
I stand and my friend hands me a glass of water and a pill. "For your headache." I mumble a "thank you" before popping the pill down my throat.
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
"Zeke?" I ask while searching for clean black shirt and jeans. My usual clothes.
"Yeah?"
"What happened last night?" he hands me a muffin and takes a bite of his own muffin.
"I don't know, Four. I never do," he laughs.
Oh yeah last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favorite songs.
I have flashes of last night. Flashes where Tris and I were dancing one of my favorite songs.
Think I might have kissed someone.
A have a vague memory of her soft lips touching mine, of her hands on my hair and mine on her waist.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.
I usually don't kiss someone I just met. I don't trust many people, only the few people I have the honor of calling 'my friends'. But last night I just didn't care. I didn't care about tomorrow; I only cared about that moment.
"Zeke, I'll take a shower," I said.
"Okay, I'll assault your fridge," he laughed.
I chuckled. He would eat here and later at the dining hall. I always thought that was incredible.
Let's shut this party down,
And pull the building to the ground,
It took me fifteen minutes to get ready and drag Zeke to the dining hall, where we always met out friends.
Marlene, Lynn, Uriah, Will, Christina were already there.
"Shauna and Tris will show up late. They had the afternoon shifts of work today," Uriah said before Zeke could ask about his girlfriend. I mentally thank Uriah for giving me information about Tris, and hope to see her again tonight. We nodded.
The group had dinner before going to the Chasm, leaning against the railing again. Uriah started passing bottles around, but I refused mine.
"Four?" he looked confused at me, as well as the rest of our friends.
"Not tonight, Uri."
"Does that have something to do with a blond, short girl?" Marlene smirked.
Yeah girl let's live it up,
One night is all we got.
I blushed, but prayed that nobody saw. "What? I just have work tomorrow and I prefer to not be in a hung over while listening to Zeke's voice all day."
Let's dance until we die,
"Hey, guys!" Shauna waved. She had Tris by her side, who was wearing a short skirt and a flowy blouse. Again, her eyes were so insistent, beautiful. And marked with dark make-up. She was taller due to the heels.
Nobody's going home tonight,
This kiss could be our last,
"Shauna, are you ready to party?" Zeke wiggled his eyebrows at Shauna. She laughed and kissed him.
Come on and raise your glass.
"Hell yeah!" she raised her glass.
No, we're not going home tonight
Wake up, the stars are shining
"So let's dance!" Uriah yelled.
We'll do it all, we'll do it all
We'll do it again.
This time I wanted to dance with Tris and remember it.
Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes
Tris seemed to notice that I wasn't drinking. She was smart.
She arched one eyebrows and raised her bottle.
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
"I want to remember tonight," I explained. She smiled and gulped her bottle down, before throwing it out.
Uriah saw Tris' empty hands.
"That was quick," he offered her another bottle.
"Thanks, but no," Tris said. She looked at me, "I want to remember tonight."
Oh yeah last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favorite songs.
That night, without a bottle in my hand, I had Tris' hand in mine and another on her waist, her other hand was pressed against my chest. We kissed sometimes. Her warm, soft skin was like silk, her lips were like heaven.
Think I might have kissed someone.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.
One thing I knew: for helping me forget how awful the world was, I preferred her to alcohol.
We do it all again
We do it all again
So bring your friends and tell a friend to bring another friend (we had last night)
Uriah, Zeke, Marlene and Zeke brought Tris, Christina and Will to hang out with us.
We do it all again
We do it all again
By the end of tonight, we can all be friends (we had last night)
They passed our "group initiation".
We do it all again
We do it all again
So bring your friends and tell a friend to bring another friend (we had last night)
We used to do this ritual every two weeks: reunite our friends, party with us until morning, get drunk, and party again the next day.
We do it all again
We do it all again
By the end of tonight
Tris, Will and Christina partied with us until morning, got drunk, and partied again the next day. My friends trusted them, which was a good reason to make me think they were thrust-worthy.
Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
Today I woke up with a flashlight on my eyes, as bright as the sun.
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
My head was not clear from the night before.
Yeah last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favorite songs.
Think I might have kissed someone.
I had flashes of memory. Scenes where I danced our favorite songs with the beautiful blond girl that stood before me, where I brushed her soft lips with mine. But that was before.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.
Even if I never talked to Tris again, I would still remember the flashes from last night.
Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
I had no alcohol in my system that night. Which meant that I would wake up calmly the next day.
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
I would wake up with clear memories of the night before.
Oh yeah, last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favorite songs.
Think I might have kissed someone.
I would remember everything from that night. The night I asked Tris on a date.
I grabbed her hand and gently pulled her away from the crowd. I lead her to an empty hallway and pressed her back softly against the wall.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.
"Tris?" I called her.
"Yes?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
She looked at me and smiled.
"I would love to."
And our lips met.
Yes? No?
