A/N: Hello, lovelies! First off, I just want to say thank you. You guys are so kind and sweet and understanding and it means so much to me. My grandfather is doing alright as of now, let's pray he stays that way. Also, thank you for praying for my grandfather, I appreciate it so much. I'm a Christian Baptist to anyone wondering. Anyway, on a totally different note, so many of you are acting heartbroken by the coming end of this story. I'm sorry to say that I cannot drag this story out any longer. It will be ending probably the chapter after this one. However, I might start a new sequel about their senior year but we'll have to see what my workload allows, that story may not get started for a little while. On another note, lord_of_the_potterheads followed me on Instagram and she apparently fangirled about it! So shoutout to that person, I feel so special! Anyway, I love you people and I hope this chapter makes up for my lack of updates. Leave me some love and reviews.(:
Tris' POV
"Guys, we have a crisis!" Uriah screams, sprinting into the kitchen where the rest of us are sitting.
"And what is this 'crisis' of which you speak?" I ask nonchalantly.
"We have to leave and head back home in 2 days!" He shouts in response.
Christina groans, "Don't remind me, please."
"We just have to make the best of these last days," Will says.
"How?" Shauna and Marlene ask at the same time. Zeke abruptly stands up, causing the chair he was sitting in to slide backwards and fall over on the floor.
"IDEA!" He screams loudly.
"Dude, we're right here! Geez," Tobias yells.
"I think I know what you're thinking, bro," Uriah says, grinning.
"Do you guys have telepathy or something?" I ask.
"No, they're just both dumb and so their dumb brains connect together," Tobias mumbles to me. I try not to laugh.
"What's the idea?" Christina finally asks.
Zeke and Uriah look at each other, huge smiles starting to creep along their faces. Then, they turn back to the rest of us and scream simultaneously, "LAKE PARTY!"
The effect is immediate. Everyone perks up and starts expressing their enthusiasm for this idea. I just groan, already thinking about the giant mess we'll inevitably be cleaning up after the party.
"Everyone okay with that?" Zeke asks. Everyone nods except Tobias who just sits there, not caring, and me. I shake my head.
"Yeah, well no one cares what Tris thinks," Uriah says, waving a hand dismissively in my direction.
I put my hand over my heart and gasp dramatically, "Well then, Uri. I could kick your ass, you know, so I'd watch what I say, if I were you."
"Yeah, well you're not me." I glare at him in response. "Anyways," He continues. "Lake. Party. It's happening. Zeke and I will start inviting people. Will, Christina, you guys start ordering food and stuff. The rest of you, start decorating and preparing this cabin for a shitload of teenagers."
Zeke and Uriah walk out of the room without another word. I roll my eyes but get up to begin decorating. Tobias and I walk to the living room to start the set up there. Marlene and Shauna are starting on the other side of the cabin.
"We need to push all the furniture out of the way first and move all the valuable items. It would not be a good idea to leave expensive items near a bunch of drunk teenagers," Tobias declares. I smile and nod. We begin to move the furniture, pushing the couches and chairs up against the far wall. Once all the furniture is cleared, we set up huge speakers around the room.
We head back into the kitchen and see everyone else already there. I sit down on the kitchen counter and Tobias moves to stand between my legs but still facing our group of friends. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek. He turns his head and smiles at me. I lean down and brush my lips against his. Just before we really begin to kiss, Christina shouts, "Hey, none of that right now!"
"Ugh, you guys are annoying sometimes," I complain out loud. Christina just smiles sweetly at me.
"Okay, so food has been ordered, everyone has been invited, and the place is set up nicely. Everyone, go get changed into your swimsuits. The party starts in 2 hours!" Zeke calls out.
Tobias and I head down the hallway to our bedroom to get changed. I change into a black string bikini with small rose designs scattered on it. As I'm putting it on, I realize that I can't tie the strings myself. I turn around to where Tobias waits, already dressed and playing on his phone.
"Hey Tobias? Could you tie this for me?" I ask.
He looks up from his phone and his jaw drops. The phone slides out of his hands and crashes to the floor. He jumps at the sound. "Sure," He says, gulping loudly.
"Tobias, what's wrong?" I ask, worried.
He walks up behind me and begins to tie my bathing suit for me. As he's tying it, he begins to place warm kisses along my neck. "You're just so beautiful, I can't help."
I laugh breathily, "Tobias, you've seen me naked before. This is only a bathing suit."
"Yeah, but each time I see you, you strike me as more and more beautiful," he says, still kissing along my neck. I tilt my head slightly to give him better access.
"Awh, Toby. That was undeniably the most adorable, corniest thing you've ever said to me," I say, giggling slightly.
"You know you love me," He responds, grinning.
I spin around to face him since he's done tying my bathing suit. My arms wind around his neck as he pulls me flush up against him, his lips parting against mine. I let my hands trail down his arms, tracing the hard muscles while he backs me up into the wall. My heart beats so fiercely against my chest, I'm sure he must be able to feel it as our limbs tangle together. Then he moves his lips across my jaw, making his way to the base of my neck. I grab a fistful of his dark brown hair, about to bring his lips back to mine when I hear a throaty cough. We break apart and spin towards the sound. There in the doorway, stands all our friends, Marlene with a camera in her hand. Will stands in the front and I'm assuming he was the one who coughed.
I glare at Marlene holding the camera. "Marlene," I begin slowly. "You did not just record that."
She smirks, "Oh, yes I did."
My eyes narrow, "Delete it. Now."
She grins and shakes her head.
"Marlene, I know all of your deepest, darkest secrets and I will scream them over the intercom at school if you do not delete that right now," I say threateningly.
Her eyes widen slightly in fear, probably all the things I could mention flying through her head. She quickly deletes the video and shoves her phone in her pocket. I smile triumphantly and everyone else just stares between Marlene and me.
"Don't ask" Is all I say.
Uriah nods slowly, "Anyway… We need to go downstairs, people are going to be arriving soon."
They all turn and leave the room, leaving Tobias and I alone once again. I sigh and peck him lightly on the lips. Then, I turn and walk out of the room, dragging Tobias behind me.
xXx
About half an hour later, the food has arrived and we've set it up on the bar, along with beverages though, undoubtedly, some teenagers (if not all) will bring alcoholic drinks along with them. They are teenagers after all.
The doorbell rings and Zeke rushes to answer it. In floods about 75 people at the same time.
"Dang dude, how many people did you invite?" I ask.
"I told you I invited everyone. So probably like 300 people and if they bring people with them, then more than 300," Zeke explains like it's the most obvious thing in the world. I just shake my head and walk to the stereo to switch on some music.
I sit on one of the bar stools and Tobias sits on one beside me. Two people I've never seen before begin to make their way towards us. It's a guy and a girl. The guy has blonde hair that reaches his shoulders and the girl is short with long red hair.
"Hey man," The blonde guy says, reaching out and doing some type of guy handshake with Tobias.
"Hey, bro. What's up?" Tobias says in return.
"Not much. Oh, this is my girlfriend, Clary," The guy says, pointing to the short red head. She waves shyly.
Tobias gestures towards me, "This is my girlfriend, Tris. Tris, this is Jace, he goes to a different school." That explains why I've never seen him before. I smile and wave at them both.
"Alright, well see you later man," Jace says, beginning to walk away.
I get up and grab Tobias' hand, dragging him to go dance.
xXx
After about half an hour of dancing, Tobias and I take our seats back by the bar. I grab a Dr. Pepper off the counter and chug half of it. Suddenly, the music cuts off and Zeke is standing on the stage, grabbing a microphone. I look at Tobias, raising my eyebrows in question. He just shrugs, obviously confused about what's going on, too.
"Alright guys, are you having fun so far?" Zeke says. He's answered with a mirage of cheering and screaming from the crowd of teenagers.
"We have a special treat for you. For those of you from Divergent High School, remember the talent show?" Everyone screams as an answer. "Well guess what? Uriah, Four, Will, and myself are going to preform again! But we have a bonus, our girlfriends will sing a song together too! Do you like that idea?" More screams as an answer.
I look over at Tobias, shaking my head frantically, "I am not preforming in front of all these people without having practiced anything at all."
"Tris, you'll be fine, I promise." He grabs my hand and quite literally drags me up towards the stage. I notice that the guys had to do that with the other girls also. Tobias shoves me towards Marlene, Shauna, and Christina.
I sigh, "Okay, there is no way we're going to get out of this. Song ideas?"
"Um… How about Wings by Little Mix?" Shauna suggests.
"Good idea," Marlene appraises.
"Alright, let's do this," Christina declares.
We walk up onto the stage and take our places that we normally take during karaoke. The music begins and I start the song off for us, all of us dancing to the beat.
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly.
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by.
I step back slightly while Christina steps forward, taking on the next part,
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah.
Christina steps back while Marlene sings the next part,
Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah.
Shauna steps forward while Marlene steps back,
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is.
Shauna steps back and all of us begin to sing the chorus, dancing and swaying our hips, really getting into the song.
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly.
Marlene steps forward to sing the next part,
I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no.
Then, it's Shauna again with,
Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah.
Christina and I sing the next part together,
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is.
Then, it's all of us together once again,
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly.
Shauna and Marlene sing this part together,
I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
Then, it's Christina and me again with,
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings.
We all finish off the song together, swaying our hips and dancing, having the best time of our lives, not even paying attention to the audience of teenagers.
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly (my little butterfly)
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly.
The song ends and the crowd of teenagers go ballistic. They're screaming and clapping and jumping up and down. I laugh and wave at them all, breathing heavily. The four of us walk off the stage and the guys take our places up there.
The music begins to play and the guys start the song.
[Zeke and Uriah]
Wasn't looking for trouble, but it came looking for me
I tried to say no but I can't fight it she was looking lovely
She kinda reminds me of a girl I know
This pretty young thing that I got waiting for me back at home.
While Zeke and Uriah were singing, Will and Tobias were doing flips and other amazing moves in the back. When Tobias and Will begin to sing, Zeke and Uriah start doing backflips and other cool stuff. I'm completely mesmerized.
[Tobias and Will]
She's got my engines turning this happens every time
I see a pretty girl and I wanna make her mine
They send my rocket to the sky I want them
But should I go for them? I'm like
Houston I think we got a problem.
They all come back up front and begin to sing,
[All]
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just watch them go
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just wa-wa-wa-wa-watch them go
Take control, making me sweat girl run that show
It's them Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Houston I think we got a problem.
When Zeke begins to sing, Tobias does a back handspring and then a front flip and my jaw falls open in amazement.
[Zeke]
Some girls are naughty some girls are sweet
One thing they got in common they all got a hold on me.
Tobias and Will crouch on the ground and Zeke does a double back flip over them.
[Uriah]
Meet them at the party meet them in the street
Getting me in so much trouble but that's alright with me.
While the other guys are singing the next part, Tobias flips onto his hands and then flips backwards up into the air, landing in a bridge which he kicks over to stand back up.
[Zeke, Uriah, Will]
They got my engines turning this happens every time
I see a pretty girl and I wanna make her mine
They send my rocket to the sky I want them
But should I go for them? I'm like Houston I think we got a problem.
All the guys sing the remainder of the song, dancing around the stage like professionals.
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just watch them go
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just wa-wa-wa-wa-watch them go
Take control, making me sweat girl run that show
It's them Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Houston Houston Houston Houston Houston I think we got a problem
Looking like a model making me stare
All them pretty girls are standing right there
Doing that thing it's just not fair
How come all the pretty girls are up in here
Looking like a model making me stare
All them pretty girls are standing right there
Doing that thing it's just not fair
How come all the pretty girls are up in here
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just watch them go
Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Never see them coming I just wa-wa-wa-wa-watch them go
Take control, making me sweat girl run that show
It's them Girls Girls Girls I just can't say no
Houston I think we got a problem.
The song ends and the guys stand on the stage breathing heavily. I scream at the top of my lungs, screaming and clapping until my throat is raw and my hands burn. I race up to Tobias and tackle him the floor, hugging him.
"Damn Tobias, why didn't you ever tell me you could do that stuff? That's amazing!" I gush.
"It's not that cool, calm down, Trissy," Tobias says, laughing. He stands up, holding his hand out and pulling me up too.
"Not that cool!? I hope someone got that on video so you can see it! You guys looked better than professionals!" I scream at him.
He just shakes his head, laughing, and kisses my forehead. We move off the stage and Zeke goes back up to speak into the microphone.
"Alright guys, that was awesome right?" Deafening screams answer him. "It's getting late though so party over! Everyone out! Thanks for coming!"
Everyone groans but soon everyone begins to trickle out of the cabin. Once everyone has left, I throw myself onto the couch. Tobias moves my feet out of the way, sits down, and moves my feet into his lap. I smile at him.
"Clean up time," Will groans.
"Oh hell no. We can do that tomorrow, I'm going to sleep," I declare and heave myself from the couch. I grab Tobias' hand and we begin to walk towards our room. "Good night, guys!" I shout behind me. A chorus of voices answers back.
Tobias and I quickly change into pajamas and climb into the bed. I lay my head on his chest and snuggle into his side. He wraps his arms around me and nuzzles his face into my hair.
"Good night, Trissy. I love you," He says, yawning towards the end.
I sigh contently, "G'night, Toby. I love you, too."
