Okay, I finally can go on the computer. I hope I can do this more often Enjoy!
I wake up with a sense of calm. I had cried myself dry the previous night. I sit at the kitchen table. I grab a bowl and a box of cereal. I pour milk into the bowl and dip my spoon into the soupy breakfast. I eat the cereal until it's gone. I finish it and stare at the table. I know I have to get to work soon but I am overcome with grief for my lost brother. I curl up onto the seat and stare into space.
There's a knock on the door and Christina walks in, "Oh honey." I hear her say and she hugs me.
I sob into her shoulder. I don't care that he had betrayed me, I don't care that he went again all my father's beliefs, he was still my bother. A part of me. I now have nothing. I finally get off and get ready. I walk into the tattoo parlor in casual clothes and take my place on the stool. People walk in and walk out. I give a few tattoos. At the end of the day Cara walks in with books in a bag hanging from her shoulder.
"Tris?" she asks me, sitting down in the stool in front of mine.
"Yeah?" I reply, putting away the tattoo tools and closing up.
"Did you ever forgive your brother?" she asks. I stop midway blind closing.
"What?" I ask sharply.
"W-w-well, Caleb told me about what he did and he never believed that you forgave him." She says, looking down into her unclasped hands.
My tone softens, "Of course. He is my brother and I love him with my heart, he saved my life and is my only family. Of course I have Tobias but that is a different story all together." I say walking to Cara. I stop walking in front of her, "I loved him then and always will love my brother." I say and with that I walk out of the parlor.
As I walk down the hallway to my apartment, I feel like someone is watching me. I stop and listen for footsteps. I hear a faint click and drop to the ground. I hear a wiz go by my ear. I gasp. I roll over to my back and grab the pocket knife I keep in my back pocket. I run down the hall screaming. I feel the person come up behind me. They stick their foot under mine causing me to trip.
"Silly girl, I need to finish the job that my companion failed to finish." The man says hovering over me. I close my eyes and relax my tensed muscles. I will soon be reunited with my brother. I feel a weight take over me. I try to move but the weight is to heavy. I open my eyes and see brown hair, the color of the mans.
"Tris!" I hear Cara scream. The man is slightly pulled off of me. I help the rest of the way. I get up and huff.
"Oh my god. I can't believe that just happened." Cara says her words shaky. I walk over to her and take the gun away from her unsteady hand. My throat tightens but I know its safer with it in my hands.
"It's okay. " i say, leading her to her apartment, "How about you get some rest. I'll take care of the man." I say. She nods and lays down. "Bye." i say ad walk out closing the door behind me. I walk to the "police station" and report what happens.
"Okay m'am. We will take care of it from here." one of the "officers says.
"Thanks." I say and head off to my apartment.
As I walk into my apartment, my mouth swings open, in the living room is...
