Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent. Veronica Roth still does. However, I do own the plot. Thank you for the reviews! Sorry for the mess up on posting the same story twice. Still getting used to fanfiction. But I think I've finally figured it out. Anyways, here is Chapter Two! Enjoy! :)
The next day, I eat breakfast and head to school. I see the girl come my way. I freeze. My body becomes weak. "How do you feel? Empty?" I see Four, in the corner of my eyes, with fire in his eyes as he walks towards the girl and I. He stops beside me. "What are you doing?" He asks her his voice spitting out every word like venom. She smiles and looks at him, "Hiya, Four." Four looks at her, his voice becoming eerily quiet. "I said stop. Now stop. And I'm being serious about that. Leave her alone. How many times will I have to say that? I won't say it anymore so get that through your head. Leave her alone. Got that?" The girl nods and walks away. I guess when Four's voice is quiet. He is dangerous. The fire demolished replacing with concern. "She'll leave you alone. She should." I just nod, not entirely sure. "C'mon. Let's have a skip day. You need out of here." I look at him horror. He just chuckles. "No...if my mom finds out that I skipped school then..." My voice fades into nothingness. Four looks at me, his crooked smile gone. "Then what?" I don't drop our gaze. "Then I'll get in trouble." Four turns serious. "What's the worst you could get? Chores?" I look down then back up. "I don't know..." Four looks at me crossing his arms as he starts walking and I follow. "Trouble would be an understatement for me if my dad found out if I skipped school." Dad? Who could his dad be? "But I want to be brave. Not afraid of my own dad. That'll be cowardice. C'mon." He walks faster guiding me to his car. He unlocks it and opens the passenger seat for me. I get in and buckle myself up. Four gets in the driver seat and does the same. "Where too?" I smile a little. "To get one of those circular patty things." He chuckles and says, "A hamburger?" I look down and smile again. Embarrassing. "Yea...that." He drives to the hamburger place. We sit in the booth. "Two hamburgers. And two sodas." He looks at me as I see a man come in his eyes like Four's but with a fire in them that looks like it'll never demolish. Unlike Four's eyes, that show bravery not ruthlessness. The man sees Four. "Why are you not in school?!" The man shouts at Four. I see Four's body go stiff as he stands up. His voice steady as he says, "I'm 18. I believe I can look after myself. I was being nice. Maybe that's something you don't believe in, but I do. So leave me alone." They both stare at each other for awhile. I see Four's fist clench. I see a man come up to the other man that yelled at Four. "Marcus, leave him alone. Maybe he just needed to give his mind a break." Marcus. The person that has the last name of Eaton. I look at Four. Not yet jumping to conclusions at that moment. I see him breathe in then out calming himself down. "I'm fine. I'm sorry I reacted the way I did." I look at him, confused. "Why be sorry? You reacted just fine. You didn't scream like he did. By the way, how do you know each other?" His dark eyes lock on mine. "Why'd that girl come up to you this morning?" Did he just avoid my question? "I don't know. You tell me." He looks at me, not breaking our gaze. Guess Four has some secrets of his own. "I don't know...maybe she thought she'd try to hurt you again. But she was wrong." His voice quiet. Dangerous yet strong and with so much self confidence. Things I do not have. Or things I wish I could be.
