For You Chapter 13
Tris POV
I pull up to the school, and park my corvette. WE all hop out of the car, and I grab them and pull them to the office. Our school has a weird policy for kids in middle school and elementary school to be checked in by their legal guardians. I quickly sign Percy and Ana in, and they run off too their respective schools. I take Tobias' arm, and pull him into Faction High. By now, almost everyone from every school is here, and we are getting a lot of stares.
I can't blame them.
I mean, yesterday, I did hold a knife to his throat. "Sorry" I say. Tobias turns to look at me. "Why?" he asks, genuine worry in his eyes. "For nearly killing you yesterday, I still can't believe you all forgave me so fast." I say. Tobias laughs. "You saved our lives, of course we forgave you." I laugh, and grab the books from my locker, as does Tobias. All our friends come by, and say a quick hi, before running off to Home Ec. I smile, and walk into Choir. It is funny, because every one splits when I walk through, and even faster when Four is with me. I guess having someone at knife point does that for you. I sit on the riser, and put my head on Tobias' shoulder. Tori walks in to the room, smiling.
"Today, you will choose one partner, and sing a song you both like. Begin." She says, and walks into her office. Tori is not a very strict teacher. Tobias looks at me, asking me a silent question. I nod, agreeing we will be partners. I am about to stand, when A tall girl, with black hair walks up to Tobias. "Hey Four, I was wondering if you wanted to be partners?" she asks while twirling a strand of her hair. "Um, sorry no, I am with Tris here." He says.
"Why would you want to be with her? One, she almost killed you, two, she is so plain and ugly, I mean she is like a 12 year old!" I step back, no one has said anything like that, besides my father. Four has anger in his eyes. "Do not, talk about my girlfriend/childhood bestfriend like that." He says, grabbing my arm, and dragging me into the practice room.
"What song do you want to do?" I ask, taking the attention off that girl. He shrugs "You choose." He says. I think, "How about Best Shot (Bonus Track) by Birdy and Jaymes Young? It is going to be in TFiOS?" I say. He nods, "I like that song. Let's do it." I pull up the piano sheet music for it on my phone, and he pulls up the lyrics. I practice for a bit. "Let's start." He says. I nod, and start playing.
(Tris)
When you're on your own and you feel lost
When your hearts a mess though you've given your best.
(Both)
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got more then I need.
Here crying from the rooftops.
Nothing can stop us if we believe.
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free.
When you're here with me.
(Tobias)
When your sky is dark and the earth is shaking your bed.
(Both)
Your hope is at its end you just need one friend.
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need.
Here crying from the rooftops.
Nothing can stop us if we believe.
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free.
When you're here with me.
When you cant find you're way and all around you walks as deep and grey.
The stars fall from above and your barley holding on my love.
(Tobias)
holding on my love.
(Both)
Giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need.
Here crying from the rooftops.
Nothing can stop us if we believe.
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free.
When you're here with me.
I finish the song, and Tobias pulls me into a hug. I smile, and kiss his cheek. These small, happy moments, help rid me of the dark painful moments, and I never want them to stop.
