Chapter 7: It Started with a Dare...
Tobias' POV
Tris is sitting right next to me her head leaning against my chest as I have my arm around her, being careful not to hurt her back with my touch. I know she was surprised by how I knew her back was still sore, but it was very easy to see that her back was still bothering her by the way she held her body. It was different from normal. I just noticed anything and everything about her.
We talked for a while about many different topics, but for the last couple of minutes we have been lost in our thoughts. It isn't an awkward silence, like they normally are with other people, but a comfortable silence. I love being with her. She makes everything better for me and I can't understand how I went through life without her by my side. It obviously wasn't very good life and I never claimed that it was good or even believed it could be good. But here I am with Tris and it it is good, maybe I will get a happy ending after all as long as Tris is by my side it would be happy life.
I kiss her head absent-mindedly as I think of how amazing she is to me. She turns towards me with a surprised grin at the gesture.
"What was that for?" Tris asks.
"Does there have to be a reason?" I ask with a cheeky smile.
"No, I was just wondering." Tris says before kissing me on the lips.
I take the opportunity to kiss her back and we began to forget where we are or who we are around as we get lost in each other. I have one hand tangled in her hand while the other hand keeps her body against to mine. She has one hand holding my head to hers and the other on my chest. We don't even realize it when Zeke yells and the room empties besides a group of our close friends.
"Alright, lovebirds break it up!" I vaguely hear as I continue to kiss Tris.
"Don't think they heard you, Zeke." Uriah yells.
I hear silence and then some chuckling before I feel cold water drenching me and Tris. Tris yells from the cold water and then she yells, "Zeke!"
"Well I had to do something to break you two up! We want to play Dauntless or Candor!" Zeke explains to us with an excited look on his face.
I glare at him for the unexpected shower.
"Wait! We needed to change, give us five minutes!" Christina says as she grabs Tris's wrist being careful of her hand, which I am thankful for. Christina really is a good friend to Tris.
"Ok, you have five minutes starting now! If you aren't back by then we will be coming to get you whether you are ready or not!" Zeke screams at them as they run out the door, well Christina and the other girls run, Tris is just being dragged by Christina. Tris doesn't have her shoes on. I look to the floor and see her heels on the floor. She probably could go faster without them anyway.
"I'm going to go change too since someone decided to dump water all over me!" I say as I glare at Zeke who is totally unfazed by me, probably too drunk to really care.
"I gave you a warning!" Zeke yells at me as I walk out the door to my apartment to change.
Tris' POV
"Christina, what are you doing? Five minutes was up two minutes ago!" I tell her as I walk into the bathroom to see her reapplying her make-up.
"Come here, I need to fix your make-up too. That water didn't help you much." Christina says as she looks at me.
"Ok, but hurry." I say as she attacks me with brushes and make-up.
A couple of minutes later, she is done with my make-up, but insist that she does something with my wet hair. She ends up putting it into a fishtail braid that's lays over my left shoulder.
"Christina, are you almost done? It's been way over five minutes." I say and almost on cue I hear footsteps running into our dorm.
"Done!" Christina says and we walk out of the bathroom.
I look around, but I don't see anyone, maybe I had imagined hearing footsteps. Before I know it, Zeke comes out from nowhere and throws me over his shoulder. I see Uriah with Christina from the corner of my eye.
"Wait! I don't have my shoes on yet!" I yell at Zeke.
"Too bad, Trissy!" Zeke yells as he runs out of the room in front of Uriah who is carrying Christina. Shauna and Marlene must have already made it back.
"Zeke, let me walk!" I demand as I hit his back playfully.
"Nope!" Zeke yells to me as he runs down the hallway towards his apartment.
"We found them!" Uriah yells as he drops Christina on the floor next to Will.
I feel myself drop ceremoniously into someone's lap and look up to see Tobias smiling down at me. "Hi." I say with a smile.
"Where are you shoes?" Tobias asks with a chuckle.
"Zeke wouldn't let me put them on." I say with a frown and he laughs.
"Well you left your other shoes here." Tobias says after a moment.
"Ugh. I don't want those. I took them off for a reason." I grumble and he just chuckles.
"Why did you take your shoes off?" Christina asks with a glare at me as she holds my heels in her hand. I slid off of Tobias' lap to sit next to him causing me to be between Tobias and Zeke. Christina is on the other side of Tobias.
"I..." I start.
"You know, whatever! At least I tried." She says, but I can tell she isn't really mad just a little frustrated.
"Ok, let's start with candor or dauntless!" Zeke says to our normal group of people.
"I want to start first!" Uriah yells before Zeke can insist that he goes first.
"But it's my apartment!" Zeke argues.
"But you didn't just pass your initiation!" Uriah argues.
"You only got second place!" Zeke yells back and I roll my eyes.
"You got third place; I did better than you!" Uriah yells back.
"Maybe we should let Tris go since she got first place!" Zeke says as he nudges me with his shoulder.
"Will it stop you two from arguing?" I ask with a smirk.
"Yep, at least for now!" Uriah says with a goofy grin.
"Ok. Marlene, candor or dauntless?" I ask.
"Dauntless." Marlene answers.
"I dare you to run out to the pit and run around screaming, 'I lost my voice, please help me find it!'" I say, which I have no clue where that came from.
"Ok. Who's coming with me?" Marlene asks before standing up.
"I will!" Uriah says as he gets up.
"Me too!" Shauna says.
They run off to the pit and I can't help, but yawn as they leave.
Tobias nudges me with his arm. "You aren't going to fall asleep are you?" He asks with a smirk.
"No." I say as I shake my head.
"Hm." Tobias says with a smirk.
I yawn again. Crap.
"Stop it!" Zeke yells from the other side of me and it causes me to jump a little at the noise.
"Zeke! Geez do you have to yell?" I say in an irritated voice.
Everyone laughs at our exchange while Zeke just grins like an idiot and I glare at him.
"Anyone want another beer!" Zeke says as he stands up to get himself another beer.
"I'll take one, Zeke." Tobias says and I glance at him curiously. This is his third beer, which is abnormal for him.
"Tris, do you want some punch?" Zeke says with a grin.
"You are never going to let that go, are you?" I say with a sigh. "Can I have another coke?" I ask.
Zeke nods before heading to the kitchen.
Zeke's POV
I grab two beers and a coke, but then I have an idea. She is going to kill me for this, but it's a good prank. I get a cup put some ice in it before opening the coke and pouring it in. Then I grab a bottle of vodka and pour it in until the cup is full. Perfect. This is fun being her brother.
"Here you go." I say as I hand Four his beer. "Here, Tris. It wasn't cold so I poured in a glass."
"Oh ok, thanks!" Tris says as she takes her cup of 'Coke', but I see Four give me a suspicious look. He knows that all my coke was in the refrigerator.
I sit down and glance to see Tris take a big drink from her coke. Her face scrunches up for a second in confusion before taking another drink.
"Is this diet?" Tris asks after her third sip.
"No, it's coke." I say with a straight face, but I see Four glare at me. He knows what I did, but I don't care. It should only make her a little tipsy and it will teach her not to trust people with her drinks! This is so much fun! And to think the night has just begun!
Tris takes another long drink and I see Four try to hide a smile. He thinks it's funny too! Tris still looks a bit confused at the taste, but she probably likes the taste or at least is getting use to it.
The door opens to the apartment and the girls and Uriah come in. They are all laughing hysterically about the dare.
"It was hilarious. People just stared at her like she was crazy, but then one of psychiatrist stopped her. He wanted her to make an appointment with him and he explained to her that her voice wasn't lost because she was using it!" Shauna explained.
"He thinks I'm crazy!" Marlene yells through her laughter and we all join in with them.
Tris' POV
After I regain myself after laughing, I am super thirsty and take another drink of my coke. I look down to see that it is already half way gone. Wow, I must have been thirsty. It tastes funny, but I am getting use to it. I know that sometimes coke tastes a little funny. It might be an off brand coke or something like that.
"Ok. Will, Candor or Dauntless?" Marlene asks.
"Candor." Will says.
"PANSYCAKE!" Uriah screams. Uriah and his brother have the loudest, sharpest screams ever!
"SHUT UP, URIAH!" Zeke yells in the same loud, screeching voice.
"Who in this room would be a bad date and who in this room would be a good date? But you can't answer either with Christina." Marlene says with a smirk at Will.
That's a good truth. Will looks around the room at all of us trying to decide who would be a bad date and good date. "I think a good date would be with Marlene. A bad date would be with Tris." Will answers.
"What?" Tris asks with obvious surprise and hurt in my voice
"No offense Tris, but I just have a feeling Four would be breaking up that date and it wouldn't be pleasant." Will explains and I smile in understanding that would be very unpleasant for him.
"Uh, Four, candor or dauntless?" Will asks.
"Dauntless, obviously." Tobias responds confidently.
"I dare you to slow dance with someone in this room that we choose, but you have to be blindfolded and you have to guess who it is before you can take the blindfold off." Will says after a moment of thinking.
"Ok." Tobias says.
Zeke finds a blindfold and puts it on Tobias. We all gather over on the other side of the room to figure out who it will be. Zeke points to himself, but then he asks us to wait while he goes into the room and walks out in a silky dress with matching heels. I clamp a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing.
"Ok. You can't talk." Will says as Zeke starts to walk over to Tobias. Someone else turns music on and Zeke puts his hands around Tobias' neck placing his head on Tobias' shoulder. Oh did I mention that Zeke is wearing a wig?!
After Tobias touches Zeke's wig, he looks confused, but then smiles. "It's Shauna, right?" He says.
"Nope. Keep dancing!" Will says. We all try our hardest to keep out giggles in as we see Shauna's shocked face.
Zeke takes one of his hands from Tobias' neck before bringing it down to his lower back and then put his hand in Tobias' back pocket of his jeans. I stifle a laugh and then see Tobias grab the hand and pull it from his pocket. "Well it isn't Tris. Is it Uriah?" He asks.
"Nope, keep dancing!" Will says with a laugh.
Zeke kisses Tobias' neck. Tobias is going to kill him when he figures it out.
"Christina?" Tobias asks.
"No!" Will yells, offended because Christina isn't as big as Zeke.
Zeke puts his hands on both sides of Tobias's face ready to kiss him on the lips when it must have clicked who it was because Tobias stops his face with his hand. "Zeke, I'm going to kill you!" Tobias growls and we all die with laughter as he takes the blindfold off to see Zeke in a dress with his wig. I'm on the floor laughing hysterically at it all along with Uriah, Marlene, Will, and Christina. Zeke grins, but knows to back away from Tobias, which just makes us laugh even more.
Tobias glares at Zeke before going over to stand above me. "Oh you think that's funny?" He asks me as he picks me up off the floor and swings me over his shoulder to take me back to our seats. "Yes." I respond with a giggle.
He plops me down in my spot and sits next to me. I can tell he isn't really mad, but actually thinks it is funny too. Not that Zeke won't get paid back for that one at some point tonight.
"Zeke, candor or dauntless." Tobias asks with a smirk at his friend.
"DAUNTLESS!" Zeke yells.
"I dare you to go into the kitchen eat something that isn't meant to be eaten alone, but you have to bring it out here to show us so we can determine if it meets the qualifications." Tobias says.
Zeke walks into the kitchen and comes out with chili power. Tobias nods saying that works.
Zeke eats the powder and then rushes to the sink to stick his head under the faucet. We all laugh hysterically at him.
"Tris! Candor or DAUNTLESS!" Zeke says, yelling at the end.
"Dauntless." I say but have a bad feeling this will be to get back at Tobias. I take another drink of my coke.
"Tris, I dare you to find Eric and confess your love for him." Zeke says with a grin.
I debate this in my head wondering if this is a good idea or not. I don't want to lose a piece of clothing or have to turn down a dare. "Ok." I say unenthusiastically.
"Who's coming with me?" I ask, knowing one of them would be Tobias.
"I'm going." Tobias says.
"Me too!" Zeke says with a huge grin.
I roll my eyes and walk out to find Eric.
"He's probably in the pit." Tobias says with a smirk. I can't tell if he is okay with this or not.
We walk in and I automatically spot Eric. He's drinking with some of his friends. I don't want to do this, it sickens me at the very thought of even faking that I like him, but it's a dare and I have to do it.
I walk straight for him and do not notice anybody around him, just him. "Eric!" I yell in my best girly voice. He turns to me with a confused look, but almost amused look. "Eric! I can tell you now! From the very beginning of training, I have had a crush on you and I know you have liked me too! In fact, Eric, I don't just like you, but I love you!" I say as I wrap my arms around him and before I know it Eric kisses me on the lips. Crap! No!
The next thing I know it two arms are pulling me off Eric and putting me back on the ground. It was Tobias and now he was punching Eric. I smile before I feel another pair of arms around me.
"I knew you would come find me!" Kyle said.
"Get your hands off me!" I yell. I look over to see both Tobias and Zeke fighting Eric and one of Eric's friends. Zeke sees Kyle bothering me and runs over to help me. I try to knee Kyle, but he has me pressed so tightly to him, I can't move my legs.
"Let her go!" Zeke says as he runs over. At this time, Tobias hears Zeke and see Kyle with me, but then Eric gets a good punch in causing him to return his attention to Eric again.
"Why?" Kyle asks.
Zeke doesn't answer, but punches him in the face like Tobias had done earlier and he lets me go. Zeke grabs me and puts me behind him before going after Kyle. By this point, there is a huge group of people fighting. Some of them just accidentally got hit by a stray hit and then got confused and are now fighting each other.
Before I know it someone else is coming after me and I punch them first, but then they punch me in the face knocking me to the ground. How did this dare get so out of control? I get up, but then find that Peter is standing in front of me. What? No.
"Look at the Stiff. How in the world did you get to be in first place? Oh yeah your boyfriend helped you." Peter taunts.
"I earned my spot." I say as I stand up, getting ready to defend myself as best as I can.
"Why don't you prove it then? Right here, right now. Fight me." Peter taunts me further.
"I don't need to prove anything to you. I already made first place fair and square." I say calmly.
Peter gets frustrated and swings at me, but I duck out of the way. Then I quickly try to punch him in the throat, but he catches my hand and uses it to turn me around. I kick him as hard as I can, which causes him to let me go for a second. He is up fast though and punches me in the stomach and then in the side of my head causing me to fly back and hit the ground with my back. I cry out in pain from the impact on my already sore back. He comes over and kicks me in the side twice. He brings his foot back to kick me again, but something stops him.
I look up and see Tobias punching the daylights out of him. Then I see Zeke running towards Tobias. "We have to go now! They are bringing in dauntless soldiers to break the fight up and throw people in jail for the night!" Zeke yells.
Tobias punches Peter once more before they both come over to me and help me up to my feet so we can run.
They keep me between them as we run or they run because my feet aren't even touching the ground. We run down a couple of the hallways before they set me down on my own two feet.
"Are you okay?" Tobias asks me as they both look at me with worry.
"Yeah, everything is just spinning a little." I say feeling like I'm swaying. Then I feel arms around me, I must have swayed for real. The next thing I know Tobias is holding me bridal style.
"I better take her to the infirmary." Tobias says.
"You can't do that! Then they will know you both were in the fight!" Zeke says.
"Oh that's true." Tobias says.
We walk back to Zeke's apartment quickly while Zeke keeps looking over his back to make sure no one was coming after us.
We finally make it back and Zeke opens the door to his apartment.
"What happen? You were gone for a half an hour!" Uriah yells.
"Is she okay?" Christina asks. I wish they won't worry about me I'm fine.
"Well, Eric kissed Tris then Four starting fighting Eric while I started fighting one of his friends that started to come after Four. Then I saw Kyle bothering Tris and went to get his hands off of her, but by that point everybody was fighting everyone! Then the dauntless soldiers start to break up the fight and I knew we had to get out of there! Peter got to Tris, but Four took care of him." Zeke explained as Tobias brought me over to the couch.
Christina grabbed an ice pack and came over to put it under my head. Tobias left for a second, but was back with a washcloth. He washed my knuckles off and I winced a little. I'm not sure if I can stay awake any longer. I close my eyes, but only open them quickly because it's my turn and I don't want to seem weak to my friends.
"Hey you can sleep, it's okay." Tobias says to me.
"But it's my turn." I say even though I can't even see straight let alone think straight.
"I think that the game is over for now." Tobias replies with a smirk.
"Yeah, it is. Why don't we watch a movie? It probably isn't a good idea for anyone to go out until they are done rounding people up." Zeke says.
"That's a good idea." Marlene says and gives me a sympathetic look.
I'm definitely going to fall asleep during a movie, but at least I don't have to think at all. I close my eyes.
Tobias' POV
Everyone settles down, mostly on the floor, but I need to be close to Tris so I lift her head and shoulders off the couch. I sit down putting a pillow on my lap before laying Tris back down. I take the ice pack and put it against Tris' head. Tris doesn't move at all, she is already passed out.
That dare got so out of hand. It would have been more comical if Tris hadn't been hurt. At least I got to beat up both Eric and Peter. I wish I had the chance to beat up Kyle, but I never made it back to him at least Zeke got him good!
Zeke starts the movie, which I could really care less about, but he is right that we need to keep low so we don't get thrown in jail. The movie started, which was called the Avengers, it's an old movie like all the movies. It starts out good, but I don't plan on staying for the whole movie just the first half an hour so I can get Tris to bed.
"This is the best movie ever!" Uriah exclaims after the first few minutes of the movie.
I chuckle at his excitement, but I'm wondering what could be so good about it.
2 hours and 20 minutes later...
The credits roll. Ok, that was awesome and I totally forgot about leaving.
"That was awesome!" Will says.
"Yeah I love it!" Marlene says.
I look down to see Tris sound asleep still. I had been absent-mindedly stroking her hair as we watched the movie. I got lost in the movie and didn't even think of leaving during it.
"Told you it was amazing!" Zeke yells and I look back down to see if he woke up Tris, but he didn't.
"I think we should probably call it a night." I say as I start to adjust Tris a little so that I can get up off the couch. I find Tris' shoes as everyone starts to leave the apartment. I see Christina make sure that I'm going to take care of Tris before she leaves with Will.
"Is she okay?" Zeke asks me.
"She will be. She has had worse." I say not wanting him to blame himself. None of us knew it would end up like this.
"Good, I feel bad that this happen because of my dare." Zeke says as he looks at Tris.
"Hey, it was more my fault for starting the fight in the first place. Don't blame yourself." I say.
"Well you had to punch him for that and it was pretty epic fight that we started! Plus we didn't get caught!" Zeke replies with a grin.
"Yes, but we should keep this on the down low till it all blows over." I say with a chuckle before leaning down to pick up Tris, bridal style. She instantly snuggles up to me even though she is sound asleep.
"See you later." I say as I walk out the door with Tris in my arms.
It only takes a couple of minutes to get back to my apartment and I lay Tris down on my bed.
"Hey, what's going on?" Tris mumbles.
"It's time for bed." I say with a chuckle because she looks confused.
"But what about the movie?" She asks and I bit my lip from smiling.
"You slept through it." I say with a smile despite my efforts.
"Oh." She says sounding very tired.
"Here, let me get you a shirt to wear." I say, thinking that what she is wearing will be uncomfortable for her.
After I give it to her, I let her get ready as I get ready in the bathroom and wash off my knuckles. I wasn't sure if she would be spending the night tonight, but I was hoping she would. I finish up and walk back to see that Tris is already under the covers. I turn off the light and get in bed trying not to wake her up if she is already asleep.
She moves over closer to me and I wrap my arms around her. "Night, Tobias."
"Night, Tris." I say softly before I kiss her forehead. She snuggles even closer to me before she falls back asleep. I smile softly as I hold her to me. I love her being next to me. I feel myself start to drift off as well briefly wondering what Tris is going to choose for her job tomorrow. I didn't want to influence her choice so I didn't ask, but I'm hoping she chooses to train initiates with me. I smile thinking of the fun we would have together.
