Chapter XV. Holding a Grudge and Crashing Parties

FOUR

After the long lecture from Tobias about fear landscapes, we decided, and by we; Christina, Will, and I, to walk back to the dormitory before lunch. Looks like Peter and his trio and Al thought the same thing. We change, or do whatever we're doing in silence. Peter throws continuous dirty looks at us. Al is silently sobbing. Will, Christina, and I are just talking.

Peter and his trio leave. All of a sudden, Al comes up to me, red-eyed and puffy faced. "Four, can I um, talk to you?"

Will growls and steps protectively in front of me with Christina. "You don't ever get to go near her again. Not after what you did."

"Please, just, listen. I didn't know what came over me and-" He begins to cry more and choke on his words. But I will not comfort one who almost killed me.

I push aside Will.

"Listen here, you will never step near me again. I don't even want you looking at me. You coward." I spit out the words as if they were poison.

Al looks up at me, tears and all, and runs out of the dormitory.

I can't say I feel bad about him. That'd be too selfless. I gulp.

But selflessness and bravery are similar. I basically drove away Al, my friend, my attacker.

Christina hugs me. I blink the tears away that I didn't even know formed in my eyes. "You had all rights to say that. Come on, let's go eat lunch." I nod.

-o0o-

"Nice! You told him off!" Lynn claps my back. Christina just told them what happened.

"Zeke, why are you sitting with us?" Uriah asks.

"Because I can."

"So, since we got nothing to do the rest of the day, how about some Candor or Dauntless at my place?" Zeke says. A wave of 'sure' and 'why not' go around, but Zalia yells, "HELL YEAH!" At the same time Uriah does. .

"NO! I'm turning into Uriah! I even used his word earlier! I need to stop hanging out with you." says Zalia. Laughs go around. Uriah holds his hand to his heart in fake sadness.

"And Zalia! After all we've been through!" He fake faints and falls on the floor. We laugh harder, when Uriah earns a bitch-slap, courtesy of Lynn.

"Get up!" She pulls him up.

"To my apartment!" Zeke yells. We follow him to his apartment, which is quite large, but not as big as Tobias's. "What'd you rank, Zeke?" I ask.

"Third. Why?"

"Oh just wondering. Because you have a big apartment."

"Ahh."

"Okay. Since we all know each other, we can skip the introducing crap, so let's get started." Zeke says.

"I'LL GO FIRST!" Joey yells.

"Marlene, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Dauntless."

"Dare you to rate everyone here, including the girls, from one to ten, ten being hottest and one being ugliest."

"Fine. Umm…" Marlene looks at all of us.

"Okay, Uriah's a ten, Joey's a nine, Zeke's a nine, Gabe's an eight, Will's a eight, and for girls, Four's a ten, Christina is a ten, Zalia's a nine, and Lynn is a nine." Am I really a ten? I'm not pretty.

"Ooooo why'd you rate the girls so high, Mar?" Joey wiggles his eyebrows.

Marlene blushes. "Because they're my friends. And I am NOT gay Uriah, so shut your mouth."

Uriah shuts his mouth.

"Lesbihonest though," Zeke says, making us laugh.

"Shut up."

"Okay, moving on, Uriah,"

"Do I even need to answer that question?."

"I dare you...to run into the Pit and ask out the first girl you see. If they decline, you have to sing this song in the Pit." says Marlene, handing him the paper.

He smirks.

I laugh. Uriah says, "Let's do this." We get up and follow Uriah to the Pit. The first woman he sees is a girl I've seen in pictures with Tobias, Uriah, and Zeke, who facepalms while slightly reddening.

Uriah walks up to her and says, "Shauna, will you go out with me?"

Shauna slaps him.

Hard.

"N-O. NO!" She screams and walks away.

We all grin, knowing what's next. Uriah scowls and starts running around the Pit, singing.

All I need's a little love in my life
All I need's a little love in the dark
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart
I need a little loving tonight
Hold me so I'm not falling apart
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart

Yeah...

Shot gun, aimed at my heart, you got one
Tear me apart and then some
How do we call this love
I try to run away but your eyes
Tell me to stay oh why-y
Why do we call this love

It seems like we've been losing control
Somebody tell me I'm not alone
When I say

All I need's a little love in my life
All I need's a little love in the dark
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart
I need a little loving tonight
Hold me so I'm not falling apart
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart

Maybe some part of you just hates me
You pick me up and play me
How do we call this love?
One time tell me you need me tonight
To make it easy, you lie
And say it's all for love

It seems like we've been losing control
Somebody tell me I'm not alone
When I say

Me and my broken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Me and my broken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How do we call this

It's just me
It's just me
It's just me
Me and my broken heart

(AN: ONE OF MY FAV SONGS; Me and My Broken Heart by Rixton)

Uriah comes back to us. We are all jaw-dropped at how amazing he is at singing.

"You're an awesome singer Uri!" says a blushing Marlene, who Uriah's complexion matches with an even redder blush.

We walk back to Zeke's apartment and Uriah turns to Gabe. "Dare."

"Dare you to tell us who you like, bring her here, and kiss her." Gabe blushes.

"Um...What if she's already here?" Our jaws drop.

"Same. Kiss her." Gabe gulps and stands up, walking in my direction.

I gulp. But then he turns to my right and kisses...

Zalia.

At first she stands tense, then she melts into the kiss.

"GET A ROOM!" We all scream, and they break apart.

"Do you want to go out with me?" asks Gabe nervously, scratching the back of his neck.

Zalia grins and kisses him once more. "YES!" We don't need to yell at them because their kiss cuts short and they sit down next to each other.

"Joey, you can take my turn." Joey grins at Gabe's words. "Thanks bro!" he turns to Christina.

"So, Christina, would you like to do a Candor or do a Dauntless?" Joey grins mischievously. His choice of words sounded so dirty, we all start cracking up.

"Dauntless."

We laugh harder. "What's my dare?" She asks, clearly not getting the joke.

"I gave it to you already." Joey says.

It takes her a few seconds to run the joke through her brain before understanding it.

She blushes.

"I guess we know who's not Erudite!" Uriah sing-songs.

Christina glares daggers at him and throws a pillow at his face.

"Will, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Candor, no one has done one yet."

"PANSYCAKE!" Uriah yells, getting a slap from Marlene.

"Who do you like?" I roll my eyes. Those two obviously are together already.

Will blushes and says, "You." Christina squeals and they kiss.

"GET A ROOM!" They break apart.

"Zeke, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Dauntless."

"Dare you to go to the Pit, find a couple and say to the girl, 'I had fun last night, let's do it again sometime,' and wink. If you don't want to ruin their relationship, say it's a dare first."

"Okay."

We follow Zeke to the Pit and we see two members, the girl with red hair and several black piercings, and the boy with brown hair and many tattoos holding hands. Zeke goes to up the girl and says his lines seductively, while winking at the girl-who doesn't seem much older-suggestively. The boy screams at the girl and him.

"This is a dare by the way." Zeke quickly says and runs back to his apartment. We laugh at the couple's reaction. We follow Zeke.

"Okay, Lynn,"

"Dauntless."

"Dare you to run up to Lauren, tell her that you want her, and kiss her."

"No way. I ain't gay." She takes off her shirt. (AN: YES I DO KNOW THAT LYNN IS LESBIAN IN THE BOOKS BUT SHE WILL HAVE A LOVE INTEREST SOON)

"PANSYCAKE!"

"SHUT UP URIAH!"

"Four, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Dauntless."

"Dare you to run around the Pit singing a song that I will write, and if you don't then you have to take off your shirt," Ugh. I'm stuck doing this.

Lynn ponders her song for a few moments before Uriah leans in and whispers something, making Lynn's smirk grow even wider. I gulp.

A few minutes later I run through the halls of Dauntless singing Uriah and Lynn's song.

"I am Dauntless hear me roar! I'm not a Pansycake anymore! Dauntless cake is the best! No one could put me to the test! Uriah is super cool and he's hot! I really really like him a lot! GO DAUNTLESS!"

I return to the room and they are all sitting there laughing.

"That was great!" Uriah yells. "Oh and uh Four, the whole liking me thing was just because it sort of rhymed."

I laugh and sit back down.

"Zeke."

"Candor, and don't call me a Pansycake if you want to eat cake for the rest of your life Uriah,"

"Who do you like?"

Zeke blushes hard. "Shauna."

Lynn gapes. "If my sister marries you that means...shit. I'd have to be brothers with you and Uriah!"

We laugh.

"Four, Candor or Dauntless."

"Again? Dauntless."

"Dare you to crash the party going on for the Dauntless members in the other side of the compound."

"UGH. Fine. But all of you are coming along." I stand up with them and we follow Zeke to the party.

We open the door and walk in, like we own the place, which reeks of drunk teens and alcohol.

The appearance of three transfer initiates, six Dauntless born initiates, and a Dauntless member seems to be noticed; as everyone's eyes, that aren't either drunk or making out, are on us.

-o0o-

"KARAOKE TIME! VOLUNTEERS?!" A drunk Dauntless member yells.

Great.

I turn around to see Uriah running towards me, obviously drunk, and picking me up, placing me over his shoulder.

Curse my height.

"URIAH! PUT ME DOWN!" I pound my fists on his back while he carries me through the parting, laughing crowd. I meet Tobias's eyes; he looks jealous. I blush.

"Nope Foury."

Uriah walks onto the stage and roughly sets me down. "URI!" I yell at him. I sigh. Might as well. I stand in front of the microphone and ask for song requests. I am immediately greeted with yells and a sheet of paper. I grab it, and look over the lyrics.

I sigh. "Fine." I mumble.

I stand in the front of the microphone, and after I study the lyrics tears prick at the brims of my eyes.

Why this song?

I shake off the tears, none luckily escaping, and the music starts playing.

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never knew just, where to turn for shelter from the storm

All eyes are on me, listening intently.

Hurt me to see the pain, across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same
I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm okay

I often wonder why I've carried all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done?
For you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same
I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday

It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left along her neck
When I was thrown against old stairs
And everyday afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see next

Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same
I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love you gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm okay
Mmm, I'm okay.

(AN: Another very sad favorite, I'm OK by Christina Aguilera, a sad child abuse song that deeply explains Tris and her mother being abused by Marcus)

I open my slightly wet eyes. I didn't even know I was crying.

Evelyn and I being abused by Marcus is very similar to this song.

It's like their trying to make it obvious that I am-was abused.

I'm safe here.

In Dauntless.

Away from him.

Some people in the crowd have tears streaming from their face.

I didn't even know Dauntless weren't this tough.

But knowing that Dauntless parents are known to use physical teachings against their children like the Abnegation, it isn't abnormal for child abuse in Dauntless.

But very unusual in Abnegation.

Everyone starts cheering, clapping, and whistling. I look at Tobias who is smiling and applauding, surprisingly, same with the leaders.

I look to my friends. They all scream and embrace me in a bone-crushing hug. I wince slightly knowing that some of my wounds will probably be reopened.

"I didn't know you could sing that good!" Gabe exclaims.

I blush. "Yeah, last time she was dared to sing something, and she was kick-ass!" Uriah says.

"Oh yeah! I saw that on the T.V. monitor near the Pit! Were you broadcasted all over Dauntless?" Joey asks.

"HELL YEAH SHE WAS!" Uriah screams.

We decide that we have nothing else to do, so we stay at the crashed party. I get a drink, not alcohol of course, because I don't want a hangover during fears. Christina, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Gabe, Joey, and Zalia think otherwise. Will and I are the only smart, sober ones.

"Hey." I look up to be face to face with Tobias. "You did an awesome job singing," He scratches the back of his neck.

I blush. "Thanks."

I walk around the crowd of sweaty, intoxicated teens, trying to find Christina and Will.

I am slammed into several people. My friends, of course.

"GET…OFF…ME!" I mumble. They all step out from their embrace.

"Yeah, speaking of which, we have to go. It's already twelve pm." Will says.

"Aww!" Uriah and the others complain, slurred.

"Party pooper," Zeke mumbles.

I roll my eyes. "I'm tired, and we got to take care of a partly drunk Christina. Bye guys! See you for breakfast!"

"Bye!" We scream.

"BYE!" They scream even louder back. I roll my eyes and smile.

Dauntless borns.

Will and I drag a passed-out Christina to the dormitory. We drop her onto her bed and she immediately falls asleep. Will and I exchange a glance.

"Your crush, not mine," I put my hands up in defense.

"Your best friend," Will counters.

I sigh. Will goes off to his bed and sleeps. All the other initiates are asleep, so I take a shower and change to a black short-sleeve shirt and shorts.

I crawl into my bed and sleep.

I don't know about you, but I find that song absolutely perfect for describing Four,(Tris) Evelyn, and Marcus.
