Chapter 18

Last time: "It's a female lead though..."

Present:

Tris POV:

The guys are the second to last group to go, our group being the last.

"This goes out to Fours crush!" Uriah says wiggling his eyebrows, causing everyone except Four to laugh. I wonder who his crush is?

My thoughts are cut off by them starting to play:

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind.

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore

That she would never let herself forget.

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

But darling,

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts.

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.

Or keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance.

And up until now I have sworn to myself

That I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception. [4x]

You are the only exception. [4x]

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

We all clap once they're done.

Then my group starts walking up to the stage. I hate this arrangement. Lynn apparently knows how to play the piano so she's doing that, and Shauna can play the guitar. Christina and Marlene are back-up vocals. Which leaves me and one spot open, lead singer.

When I found out I was like great. They insisted I did it because the song was about Jason and My's relationship that lasted for two days. One day really...

I hate him so much. This song really suits me right now.

Four's POV:

We get up on to the stage to preform. We only start after Uriah's embarrassing dedication to my crush.

(AN: Im not going to put the lyrics down twice)

We finish our song and I look at Tris. I don't think she notices, but hey! Worth a shot! It's not like she would instantly like me if she found out that we chose that song for her (without the other guys knowing of course).

She's different that way.

Most girls hearts would melt if you did something cheesy and cliché for them. She would slap you in the face. I love that about her. Most guys only like her because she's pretty and hot. They may call her beautiful, but only I know that is true.

When you say someone is pretty, you're talking about their face. When you say someone is hot, you're talking about their body. But when you say someone is beautiful, there's more than just physical appearance. You're talking about their soul.

As soon as we step off stage I notice something new in Tris's eyes: a

mischievous glint. Now I'm curious. They step up to the stage and start performing.

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,

and she's probably getting frisky...

right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink

'cause she can't shoot whiskey...

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick,

showing her how to shoot a combo...

And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side

of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,

carved my name into his leather seats...

I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,

slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singing some

white-trash version of Shania karaoke.

Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"

and he's a-thinking that he's gonna get lucky,

Right now, he's probably dabbing on

3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo*...

Oh, and he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side

of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,

carved my name into his leather seats,

I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,

slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,

'cause the next time that he cheats...

Oh, you know it won't be on me!

No... not on me

'Cause I dug my key into the side

of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,

carved my name into his leather seats...

I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,

slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Oh, before he cheats... oh, oh.

Wow.


How'd ya like that chapter? And to all Fourtris fans, just because Jason and Tris broke up doesn't mean instant Fourtris. I'm sorry! I know it sucks but remember Tris doesn't Kline Four... yet. Okay! That was a spoiler! I'm just promising that they get together, not that they'll last! Im sowwy. And to FactionMixer yes indeed, that is the Warriors I'm talking about. Aren't they awesome!

100 reviews please! Wait, what?! 100?! OH MY GOD! IM SORRY I JUST REALIZED THAT!

QOTD: How much do you hate me right now for my authors not based around the Fourtris situation?

My answer: I personally am super excited, because the longer I keep the wait the more special it'll be!
