Can you guys tell me if you want me to continue this? I'm not really sure if it's any good, and I could use some feedback on what you think or anything you want to see in this story.
Gwyneth POV
I woke up to the sound of crying. It was very quite, but I could still hear the sobs. I knew without a doubt that it was my mother. She was really upset after seeing my dad last night, and I just feel so bad for her.
I knew that I needed to find a way to make this better for her. My dad asked her for a chance to explain everything, but she never answered him. She started crying when he said her name and left quickly after that.
I got dressed and went out into the main room. Caleb was the only one out there. I suddenly got an idea of how this could be a little easier for me.
"Caleb? Can you help me find Four? Please?"
"Why do you want to find him? Your mom obviously doesn't want to see him. I'm not sure what you're trying to do Gwyneth, but I don't think it's a good idea."
"Maybe you're right, Caleb, but the other option is calling Luke. That's probably the better idea to help my mom, but I want to have a relationship with my father. He doesn't even know I exist. Don't you think I deserve to have a relationship with him?"
"Of course you do, Gwen. Of course. I wasn't even thinking of that."
"Thank you, Caleb. I promise, I'm not trying to set my parents up or anything. But I do want to call my mom's ex-fiancé because I think he might be able to help her."
"That's probably a good idea. Why don't we go get some breakfast at the dining hall, and then we'll go try to find your dad. Sound good?"
"Yes. Thank you so much for helping me Caleb."
When we got to the dining hall, I saw the redhead from last night, Sierra. I thought that she might know where Four is, but I'm not ready to talk to her. I'll just have to do a little detective work with Caleb.
After eating, we started our hunt at Four's apartment. Since there's no initiate training going on now, we know he isn't working.
I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I don't know what I was expecting. My dad to open up the door and hug me like he somehow knew who I was. It was all a little disappointing. I had been dreaming about who my father was my entire life, and he just didn't seem to be as great as I expected him to be.
When the door didn't open, I fished a bobby pin our of my hair and started picking the lock. Caleb looked at me in shock.
"What?" I said. "I read the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society books." Caleb just shook his head in mock frustration.
I finally got the door open, and we went in. The place was a mess. There were clothes, beer cans, and glass bottles everywhere. Broken glass and pieces of furniture also littered the floor. The TV had a huge crack down the center, and everything in the apartment has something wrong with it. Well, except for one thing. A picture frame.
The frame was one of those really nice silver ones with an intricate design. It said emFamily /emat the top and emLove/em at the bottom. In the frame was a picture of my mom and dad the night he proposed to her. He was kneeling, and she was standing there crying.
What happened to the couple in that picture? This was what I had always dreamed about. Having a mom and dad who were together and love each other. If he hadn't cheated, this is the life I could have had. A happy family is all that I've ever wanted.
I wiped away the tears that slipped out. Now was not the time to be crying over what could have been. I needed to find my dad. I couldn't repair my parent's relationship, but I could create one between me and my father.
After leaving the apartment, we decided to head down to the initiate training room anyway. It was a long-shot, but I thought that just maybe he would be there.
We opened the door, and I saw him. He was beating the life out of a punching bag. He must be upset after seeing my mom last night.
"Four?" Caleb called, hesitatntly. He turned around to face us.
"What do you want Caleb?" I can't believe that I'm actually hearing my father's voice. For 14 years I've dreamed about this day, and now it's finally happening.
"It's not really what I want. Gwyneth wants to talk to you." At that, my father stared at me expectantly./
"Um… hi?" I stuttered.
"Why did you want to talk to me, girl?" He asked harshly.
"I'm Tris's daughter. I was there last night when- "
"Tris has a daughter? Can I ask who your father is?"
"It's you. The night my mom found out about… well… you know… was the night she was planning on telling you about me. I'm your daughter."
"You're… you're my daughter?"
"Yes. I'll understand if you don't want to talk to me- "
"Of course I want to talk to you. I've missed the first 14 years of your life. I want the chance to be a part of it now, if that's ok," He said the last part questioningly, as if he didn't think I'd want him to be a part of my life. As if that wasn't what I'd always wanted.
"That's all I've ever wanted. To have my father be a part of my life. And I'm sure my mom would have told you about me if she knew that, but she was in so much pain after what happened that I didn't want her to know. I just kind of pretended that I didn't need my father. But I'd really like it if we can get to know each other."
"I would really love that. You said your name is Gwyneth? Tell me a little about yourself Gwyneth."
And so we talked in that training room for about an hour before Caleb told me that his dad kept calling and asking where we were. I made plans to meet my dad at his apartment later though. I also promised to bring him some baby pictures. Now it was just a question of how to sneak away from my mom and Aunt Chris.
I know that I didn't write what exactly happened when Tris and Four were reunited, but I didn't really have any idea on what to do. If you guys want me to I can write a chapter about that and put it in before this one. Please please please tell me what you want to see in this or any ideas you have. I'm getting stuck. This story is just already so different from the other one that I'm not really sure what to write.
But anyway, tell me what you think! I really want to know any ideas you guys have. Thanks! You guys are the best readers ever.
