Okay sorry, but I lied. This chapter is pretty short too, but I double pinky promise that I will try and make the next ones longer.
Chapter 14
We walk into the tattoo parlor and I tell them that I want a tattoo. Christina decides that she wants one too. We go back behind one of the curtains and see none other than Torie from school. The girl that gave me my schedule.
"Hey Beatrice, hey Christina. Wow Beatrice, I love you hair! So which one of you is going first?" She says looking from me to Christina. Torie kind of babbles like Christina, except Torie has an off button.
"Um, I will. And I go by Tris now." I say sitting down in the chair in front of her.
"Okay Tris, you know what you want?"
I think about it for a little while and then say:
"I want three ravens in flight on the left side by my collarbone."
"How did you think of that?" Christina asks.
"Well one bird for every family member." I say smiling.
Torie picks up her tattoo gun and her ink and starts cutting through my skin. It didn't hurt that bad. It only took her ten minutes.
"I like it." She say smiling. "That all you want?"
"No" I say almost instantly. Now I have to think of something else…. "I want the Dauntless symbol on my right forearm. I can draw it if you want me to."
She hands me a pencil and a piece of paper. I quickly sketch the circle and flames and hand it back to her. She knows what the Divergent symbol is since she is part of the faction too, but she said she wants it to be perfect since I'm the one who designed it in the first place. She picks up her gun and starts again on the second tattoo.
"Oh I want that too, but somewhere else." Christina says smiling.
When Torie was done with our tattoos, we thank her and pay at the front. Christina and I get back in my car and I start heading home.
"You thought your mom was going to be mad about your hair, what do you think she's going to say about your tattoos?"
"Who cares?" I scream, "I'm Dauntless remember?" We both laugh and I pull into my driveway.
Time to face my parents. We both walk into the house and my mom greats us at the door.
"Um, hi mom."
"Where have you two been all day?" She asks smiling.
"Well we went to the mall and Christina gave me a makeover. I got my hair dyed…."
"Oh." She says examining it.
"Are you mad?" I ask a little scared.
"No sweetie, it looks good." She says backing away from me and smiling.
"Well then I also got a couple tattoos." I say pulling my shirt down revealing the birds and pulling my sleeve up to reveal the Dauntless symbol."
"You had money for all that?"
"Yes ma'am. I paid for it on my own."
"Well okay then. You two may go upstairs if you want to. Dinner will be served shortly." She smiled again and then walked into the kitchen. I tell Christina to walk upstairs and I would meet her in my room in a little while. I walk in the kitchen and talk to my mom.
"Where's dad?" I ask confused.
"Oh um, he moved back to California." She says not looking at me.
"What why?" I say surprised.
"Well his job transferred him back and he missed Caleb. I told him we were going to stay here because you made a lot of new friends and I know that you like it here."
"Mom," She finally looks at me and I hug her. "Thank you." I whisper.
"You're welcome honey. Now go upstairs with Christina."
I nod and start walking upstairs. I'm going to miss my dad, but I don't want to go back to California. I like it here. This is my home now and this is where I belong.
Hope ya'll liked it. Review please!
