Please read the A/N at the end. It explains why I haven't uploaded.
Chapter 15: Talking
Fours POV
It had been two weeks since the Marcus incident. I had been left to go back to school two days ago. I spent most of that time with Tris. She hadn't talked much since after Marcus was taken to jail. She had also talked to the principal about what happened. She had decided it would be best if Tris took some time off school and went to therapy. I had also been in therapy. It hadn't helped much. I was still the same as ever. But Tris. It scared me. She didn't talk. She didn't acknowledge me or anyone, essentially she was a shell of the Tris I knew and loved.
Right now I sitting on her bed next to her, her face was pale.
"Come on Tris. Please. Talk to me." I begged.
She didn't say anything.
"Come on. Please. I need to know that your ok." I said to her.
"I'm not ok, Four. That's why I'm not talking." She said.
I sighed when she called me Four. Whenever she did talk to me she called me Four. I wanted her to call me Tobias or Toby. I want her to talk to me.
"I can help you Tris. Please just talk to me." I said.
"I hate him." She said.
"Hey, I do too. But you can talk to me. I won't tell anyone." I said, happy to have at least heard her voice again.
"I just don't know what to say. I'm not exactly known for sharing my feelings." Tris said.
"You don't have to share. But even just talking helps." I said.
"When can I go back to school?" She asked.
"Why do you want to go back?" I asked.
"I sick of sitting here and thinking about...it." She said, avoiding saying anything about what happened.
"On Monday. Talk to Mrs. Johnson, tell her you want to go back. She'll probably allow it." I said.
"Yeah. I suppose." She said.
"But in the meantime, you are coming to Uriah and Zeke's party tonight." I said.
"No, Chris has been telling me all about them." She said, smiling slightly.
"Come on, please?" I asked slash begged.
"Fine. I'll come." She smiled at me.
"Good, but, ahm..actually maybe not. They really seem to like the game strip Candor or Dauntless." I said.
"Candor or Dauntless?" She asked, and then I remembered she didn't know about the game they made up.
"It's truth or dare." I said.
"Strip truth or dare. Fine. I'll wear layers." She said smiling at me.
I left about a half an hour later. It was the happiest I'd been in a while now. I had made her talk and smile. It could only get better from here.
Minutes earlier Zeke had kicked everyone he didn't know out. That left us with me, Tris, Uriah, Zeke, Christina, Will, Marlene, Lynn, Alice and Lauren. We all sat in a sort of circle. I sat next to Tris on my left and Uriah on my right. Then Zeke spoke.
"Since it's my room..." Zeke began.
"It's my room too." Uriah interrupted.
"And I'm the oldest. I'll go first. Four, Candor or Dauntless?" Zeke asked.
Oh My God, guys! I am so sorry! I have been so caught up in other fan fictions and writing my own stories and school, I haven't had a load of time to write. Also when I tried to upload this a while ago something messed up, so this is my second try. I will try to post another chapter before the weekend though! I hope you have enjoyed this and thanks you all so much for the support.
