Chapter 11

Four's POV:

"What the hell Zeke?"

"What? There's no safer place for them to stay then here! Besides, you, Will, and Marlene are staying here too."

Zeke has completely lost his mind.

"So one girl for each guy? What about Uriah? Zeke, I don't care what you do with Marlene, but I'm not going to have sex with Tris tonight."

"I'm not talking about that and Uriah's probably going to pass out in the front yard anyways. Tris is going to be too drunk to drive anywhere so I just think it's best for her to stay here. That's all Four."

I take another sip of my beer and look over at Tris. She's trying to dance but she's basically just stumbling over her own feet. Maybe Zeke is right, it is best for her to stay here. I think she's had enough beer for one night though. I walk over to her and take it out of her hands.

"Hey! I was drinking that – oh hi Thr…Fi…..oh yeah Four!" She says throwing her arms around my neck. "Can you give me that back please?" She says poking her lip out.

"Tris, you've had enough."

"Noooo I don't think so! I like it!"

"Tris, you're drunk. You don't need any more beer. The party's almost over anyways."

"What time is it?" She slurs.

"It's 2:30 in the morning." I say removing her arms from my neck and pulling out my phone.

"I'm supposed to be home by 2:00" She laughs and says, "my mom's going to kill me!"

"No, you're staying here tonight. Your mom thinks that you are staying over at Christina's though."

"Ohh I'm a bad girl. I'm lying to my mom." She laughs again and almost falls over, but I catch her.

"Okay it's time for you to go to sleep." I pick her up and walk upstairs. I put her down on the guest bed and she pulls my arm causing me to fall into the bed right next to her.

"Stay with me." She says putting one leg around my body and pulling me closer to her. Before I could say anything, she puts her lips on mine. I pull away and get off of the bed and she starts whining.

"Tris, you're drunk. You probably aren't even going to remember this in the morning."

Right after I say that, she holds her mouth and runs to the bathroom. I sit down on the bed and wait for her to come out. She does five minutes later with one hand on her stomach and one hand on her head.

"Four?" She asks with a confused look on her face.

"Just come lie down and go to sleep Tris."

She listens but then turns over to face me and says:

"I can't go to sleep. Tell me a story. How did you meet Zeke?"

"Okay well it was my first day of Middle School. I didn't know anyone except for Lauren. I was sitting alone at lunch because Lauren got sick and had to go to the nurse. This random kid comes and sits in front of me. It was Zeke. He asked me why I was alone and I told him about Lauren and that I didn't know anyone else. He said that I looked like a pretty cool guy and asked me what my name was. I wouldn't tell him because I hate my name. After lunch, I saw some kids picking on him. There were four of them. Since he was nice to me and was the only friend I made that day, I stuck up for him. The kids attacked me so I fought them off. He thanked me and told me about how awesome he thought I was for being able to fight off four guys at once. That's where I got my nickname. Zeke is the one who started calling me Four since he didn't know what else to call me and its stuck ever since. I've never told anyone that story before." I look up at her and see that she's asleep. I walk out of the guestroom and walk downstairs. Everyone is gone so I decide that I need to go to sleep too. I get in bed next to Tris but don't get under the covers. I roll over and kiss her on the cheek.

"Goodnight Tris."
