DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DIVERGENT
Authors note:
heres chapter 2, the continuation of the truth or dare game. I hope you guys keep reading, the start of this story might seem overdone, but I have more twists coming ;)
from last chapter:
"I'll be starting" he finishes. He grins evily looking for his first victim. Everyone here includes: Me, Tobias, Christina, Uriah,Zeke,Marlene, Will, and Lynn.
Of course, I think as his eyes land on me.
"Tris, Truth or Dare"
chapter 2:
" Truth." I say wanting to start off safe.
"I've got one!" Christina interrupts " when did you and Four really start dating?"
I looked at Tobias and thought about it. " It was...i guess after he took me through his.. fear landscape." I say the last part quietly. But Tobias nods letting me know it was okay to say. I guess I wasn't that quiet anyway because everyone in the room disbelievingly screams " YOU WENT THROUGH HIS FEAR LANSCAPE?" Me and him both smile at each other and nod.
"I've been through hers too" he says. Everyone just kind of looks shocked so to get the attention somewhere else I say,
" Zeke truth or dare?"
"do you even have to ask"
" good, I dare you to go to the pit and kiss the first person who walks by you"
" easy" Uri and Christina go with to keep him honest, and all burst back in laughing a few minuets later. Chris, out of breath, starts " He, he had to kiss -" and laughs again. " he had to kiss this women, she was probably in her forties-" Uri continues. "and she PUNCHED HIM!" Zeke look thoroughly shocked, but kept the game going.
"Four, Truth or dare?"
" dare."
" I dare you to tell us your fears"
"no way in hell" he says, and pulls off his shirt. Then he grins at me, "tris-"
"dare" I say automatically
"sit on my lap the rest of the game" I get up smiling and happily sit down on him. We make out for about 10 seconds before everyone else groans and tells us to get a room. "i wish" he whispers seductively in my ear. I kiss him once more before saying "Lynn, truth or dare?"
we continue going around for a while until most of us are shirtless at least. And as the night goes on we all drink more and agree to crazier dares. The questions are becoming even deeper and more personal.
"I dare you to sing a song that explains why you transferred from abnegation."
this is a kind of dare I would only get from Chris. I know exactly what I could sing, its a song I wrote, and I have the music for it on my ipod. The real question is if I want them to hear it, no one, not even Tobias, knows I sing, let alone write music. I take this as an opportunity for bravery, and toss her my ipod and for her to plug in. I show her which song to play, and take a deep breath as it starts.
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,
Always talking but she can't be heard,
You can see there if you catch her eye,
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,
Scared to talk but she don't know why,
Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see,
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me
Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age,
You can't write a book from a single page,
Hands on the clock only turn one way,
(Yeah)
Run too fast and you'll risk it all,
Can't be afraid to take a fall,
Felt so big but she looks so small,
Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.
(Know that right here, right now)
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be, oh,
Little me
Little me, yeah
Tell you one thing I would tell her
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.
(You got to) you gotta speak up, (You got to) you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me
I finish the song and everyone just stares. "okay...this is really awkward... someone say something" I say, suddenly nervous. "damn." is all uri says.
I guess Christina took that as her "okay" to start talking, and spits out question after question.
"Where did you learn to sing like that? Holy shit you wrote that? That was fantastic! Was it really like that in abnegation?"
Apparently everyone was wondering the same, because they're all waiting for me to explain.
" umm, I guess I've just been singing since I was young and recently started writing" I answer.
They all ask what it was like in abnegation, if it was really as bad as it sounded, and if I really felt like that.
"It was defiantly that bad." Tobias answered for me. My head snapped toward him. No one else knew about his past but me. He thankfully covers up quickly by saying I told him a lot about it. They all seem satisfied with that, and I announce I'm gonna head home.
T comes with me and as we reach my apartment he says quietly " that was incredible you know."
" Its nothing really"
"no, Tris you were perfect. I'm so proud of you. I just want you to know that."
"I love you Tobias Eaton."
" I love you too Beatrice prior"
IMPORTANT A.N.
Okay end of chapter 2. I seriously hope this is good so please review and tell me how im doing. I forgot to mention this but this fic is going to be from tris' POV unless I say otherwise. Btw, yes I know that is a Little Mix song, I just thought it worked really well for this situation.
