Chapter three: Leaving
Four's POV
The Chasm was more impressive inside then out. From the outside it looked old and rundown, but inside was more impressive. The walls were black and red, two of my favourite colours it was also a buffet. The tables were normal. They could seat maybe four, but our table consisted of two tables out together. There were already three people there.
"Four, this Lynn, Marlene and Lauren." Tris said introducing me.
"Hey." I said, sitting down next to Tris.
"So, Four. Is that a nickname or something?" Lauren asked.
"Ah, yeah, but I can't remember how I got it." I said.
Lauren smiled at me as Tris grinned knowingly at me. I noticed the way Lauren was looking at me. I got the look everyday from every girl in my old school. It was the look I wanted to see Tris have when she looked at me. Wait. Did I really just think that. No. Me and Tris are friends. I smiled politely back at Lauren.
"You have to get the cake here, Four! It. Is. The. Best." Christina said.
"Ok. Sure I will." I said, unsure.
The rest of the night went great. I loved the cake, but even though I know she liked me and wanted to go out with me Lauren kinda bugged me. When we got back to the school, I went straight to my dorm room. Will followed about half an hour later ten minutes later he was asleep. I didn't move for another half hour.
When I did move, I grabbed my shoes and backpack and quietly snuck out of the room. I put my boots on and then slung my backpack over my shoulder and snuck down the stairs. As I reached the front door I felt someone tap my shoulder.
"Where are you going, Tobias?" Tris asked as I turned around.
"I have to leave." I replied, hoping she would leave it at that.
"Why? We just found each other again." Tris said.
"I know. And I've loved seeing you again, but I have to go." I said, avoiding eye contact.
"I'm coming with you so." Tris said.
"No. Tris you have to stay here. Finish school." I insisted.
"Then you stay as well." Tris said, grabbing my arm.
The grab wasn't strong, but it was nice for her to touch my bare skin.
"I can't. I have to leave. But this time I swear I will find you again. Ok." I said.
"If you leave I will to." Tris said.
God she was stubborn.
"Fine. I'll stay. Happy now." I said, giving in after seeing she wasn't going to let me go.
"Yes. I am. Now. Why were you going to leave?" Tris asked.
I debated this question for a minute. Should I tell her the truth or should I tell her some random lie. Sighing, I dropped my bag to the ground and took off my shirt. This was easier then explainer it to her. I could see her face transform into a look of confusion as I did this and I'm also pretty sure I saw her cheeks turn red. I turned my back to her and showed the scars on my back.
"Shit. Who did this?" She asked, running her fingers gently over the scars.
"Markus. He started doing it a few months after you left." I explained to her.
"How did he do it?" She asked.
"With his belt. He used to get super drunk." I said.
"Im going to kill him." She growled.
I smiled at her as I turned back around.
"You don't have to do that." I said.
"You know, I never liked Markus anyway." She grinned.
Instead of saying anything I pulled her into a hug. I could feel her arms wrap around me. We stayed there for maybe too long, but when she did pull away, I wanted her back. I wanted her. No one else.
"Put your shirt back on. And go to bed." She grinned.
"Yeah, sure. So, why are you down here?" I asked.
"You don't need to know." She winked as she left me and went back to bed.
I followed her upstairs a few minutes later and went to bed. I was asleep within minutes.
