Chapter 8
(I first want to say that I am very sorry I didn't update in the past. So from now on I will be posting every Mon. Wends. and Fri. and possably Sunday. Thank you again for everything and for waiting for so long. So without any thing else here is chapter 8.)
Tris POV
When Four walked away I noticed that he forgot his bookbag. I deiced to give it back to him so I walked towards his house. I opened the door without knocking. That was a HUGE MISTAKE because I saw something I never wanted to see again.
A man hitting Four with a belt on his back which already had so many other scars. This reminded me of my mother the day I went home on my last day of school. I again didn't think I just acted by pusing him away from from Four. He noticed what I did the he hit my arm with the belt. I pushed him before he could do more damage then what he already did.
"OWWW!" I yelped. Just then Four came next to me and punched the guy in the face I still couldn't see his face. Four then screamed " YOU CAN HIT ME BUT YOU CAN NOT OR WILL EVER LAY A HAND ON HER OR HURT HER IN ANYWAY!" The guy fell on the floor without trying to get up but he was breathing.
I turned to Four and asked him a queston I didn't want to really hear the answer to but had to make sure. "Four does your father abuse you?" I said while almost breaking out in tears.
Four POV
I turned to see that Tris was almost crying then she asked a question I didnt want to answer but had to beacuse of what she just saw and I did trust her even i iF hadn't known her for a long time I could tell that she would not tell anyone.
"Four does your father abuse you?" she asked. I sighed and the I said "Umm, Yeah he does now let me see your arm, I'm sorry you had to see that" I couldn't believe that he hit her. As I said this I ripped a piece of my shrit and wraped it on the bruse that has now been red and a cut on her arm.
"Thanks Four" She said. Then relized I am Four to her and not the real me.
"Don't call me that." I said while looking down at the floor. "What do I call you then?" she asked and then answered by saying " Nothing. For now at least"
I bring her upsairs since my 'father' is the mayor here we have a big house everyone in this neighborhood is rich. I mostly bring her there so we can stay away from my 'dad' just in case he wakes up and hurts her again. As I shut the door from my bed room she said " Okay. I am ready to tell you why you saw me crying in the car. I don't know why but I have this feeling like I have met you my whole life and that I can trust you" she said as she said that all I can say is "I feel the same way" since I am only standing I didnt want to say to much to make her scared.
"Well when I was on my last day of 8th grade I had a half day so I came home early. When I opened the door I saw my dad hitting my mom. He then pulled out a gun and pulled the triger when I jumped at him causing him to hit the wall instead and his head and he got hurt on the corner of the kitchen counter and he was still alive he just layed there when I asked my mom what happened she told me that she was going get a devores but he didn't alllow it so he did what he did when I showed up. She then told me that when she was pregent with me I wasn't my fathers dauthers but Buds her best friend, they had feelings for each other for a long time but never told each other. Thats why my father made me want to try my haredst to make everything perfect for him but he never treated me like my brother. He made me feel useless and unworthy" she finished
"Tris you are not useless or unworthy you are one of a kind. Never let anyone tell you otherwise." She lookes at me in the eye then I see her blush a little "Thank you no name" she said in a smile. I laugh a bit. I lean down about to kiss her when somethng happenes...
