Hey all, sorry it's been a couple day since I last updated. Most people would say they had sport or friends, but the truth is, I was lazy. By the way, it's school holidays, and school is starting next week, so if I get lazy again, well… oh well.
Now guys, most of you have requested multiple times: FOURTRIS! (Oh god I can be quite mean when I want to be!)
Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent.
Enjoy this chapter, tell me what you think. Review.
TRIS POV
It's been a couple days since the barbeque. We've spent it working, Christina at a fashion boutique, Marlene as a nurse, Shauna working a local primary school teaching PE, and me. Well I work as the assistant for the famous Jeanine Mathews, historian. I don't have to do a lot, just paperwork.
Right now, it's Tuesday morning, and I am sitting in my little office cubicle. I finished the paperwork I was sent already, so I'm just waiting for my next task.
"Miss Prior!" I hear the voice of Mrs Mathews call me, "Come into my office!"
I stand up and walk over the hall towards my boss' office. I knock, and when I get a response I enter. I expect that she has my next task for the morning.
"Good morning Mrs Mathews." I greet my boss.
"Miss Prior, let's skip the pleasantries shall we?" She replies. She was never one for greetings.
"Okay boss. What would you like me to do next?" I ask.
"Leave." She doesn't even look up from her computer when she speaks.
"Um, okay, I'll be at my desk if you need me boss." I tell her, slightly confused. I mean she did call me in here, maybe she already sorted out whatever she needed done.
"Not leave, as in leave my office, but leave the complex, you are not needed anymore."
"You're firing me?" I clarified, my voice quavering slightly.
"Yes, that's right. Pack your things. Goodbye."
It took me a minute to understand what happened, I looked over to my boss, uh, ex-boss, and her head was already back facing the computer again. I regained my composure, straightened my posture and walked out with my head held high. I had nothing to be ashamed of, I had done nothing but complete the work she set. Then why had I been fired? What had I done that caused this to happen?
I sank down on the park bench I has wandered to, placed my head in my hands, and started to silently cry.
In the park there were a couple of people walking by, and most gave me a sympathetic look.
"Tris?" I heard a voice. "Tris? Is that you?" It was a deep masculine voice, one I had heard not long ago. I peeked a look through my fingers covering my face as I continued to cry. The tears blurred my vision, making it hard for me to decipher who the voice belonged to. I removed my hands from covering my face, and after getting a look of who was standing before me, I clamped my hands tightly back over my eyes.
It was Four. He was standing before me, watching me silently cry. His hands took mine in their grasp, and held them softly as he took them away from my eyes.
"What happened?" He asked me in a soft whisper, as though not to startle me. "Who do I have to beat up?"
I laughed slightly at this question. "No one."
"Then why are you sitting here crying?"
"I w-wasn't c-crying." I protested weakly.
"Tris, you have tear stains on your face. Don't try to deny it, you were just crying, before I came over." He explained.
I looked down at my hands. He's still holding them in his own, resting them on my lap. I can't help but smile and wish that this wasn't just happening because I'm upset, but because he actually had feelings for me.
"There's that smile!" Four exclaimed as I slowly lifted my head, revealing that I was, in fact, smiling. I laughed softly at the sight of his face, a goofy grin to make me laugh and smile even further.
I sat there on that park bench. It was once surrounded by darkness, the shade, now lit by the shining sun. Four and I sat next to each other on that bench in the sun, watching each other intensely. He started to lean in, so I did also. There was no denying, we were about to kiss. Our lips were about to meet, when a high pitched voice interrupted us.
"Is that you Four?"
Four then leant back and muttered something under his breath. I leaned back also, and turned my head slightly to the side to see if I could locate the person who had been talking to Four. I spotted a tall woman, about aged early twenties. She was tan, wearing a tight, short dress, coloured bright pink. Her hair was dead straight, naturally though, I doubt.
She walked straight over to Four, who was now standing up next to me sitting on the bench. As soon as she reached him, she pulled him into a passionate kiss. I looked away, tears threatening to spill again. I can't do this, I can't cry again. I picked up my things silently and walked away.
"Tris!" I heard Four call out desperately. "Wait!"
But no, I wasn't slowing down and letting him fool me again, if anything, I was speeding up. I started to run, avoiding other people in the park. I heard footsteps behind me, heavy footsteps, which could only mean one thing. Four. He was following me.
I quickened my pace yet again, taking a quick peek behind me to see how far behind me Four was. He was about ten metres behind me, still going strong, whereas I was getting tired.
My house was about a hundred metres or so away, I could see it in the distance. I glanced behind me again and saw Four slowing down. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad that he wouldn't catch me. I'm glad because now he won't see me cry, but sad because it kind of gives me the feeling that he doesn't care, and that everything he said to me at the park was false. Four is just one of those guys that use women to get a status, or friends, or money, or anything. What he planned on using me to get I won't know, because I won't let him into my life again.
This was the first time I had ever had strong feelings for a guy, and he had planned on using me.
