I don't own Divergent, Veronica Roth does!
I wake up with a pounding headache. I open my eyes to a blurry room flooded with light. Across from the Will and Christina lie close together in her single bed. I dread to think what may have happened after I passed out into a alcohol induced sleep. When I stand up, the world spins and tiptoe to the bathroom careful not to wake those two. I open up draws rummaging for any form of painkiller that can rid me of this feeling. After downing two pills and I take a shower. The water wakes me up, but the pills are yet to kick in. I step out and get into the comfiest clothes I'm still allowed to own with Chris here; jeans, doc martins and dark jumper.
"Wake up you lot!" There's frantic pounding at the door," especially you Will, we know you're in there!" I tie my hair up and head to the door. Will and Christina obviously not wanting to move. Standing there is Zeke, Uriah and Four. Oh shit Four, what did I say last night?
"Hey, Tris! How are you feeling this morning?" Uriah says in a condescending fashion.
"Not great, but ask the lovebirds," I gesture to the two of them on my left," the seem to having a whale of a time."
"God, Will, what did you two get up to last night?" Zeke smirks. The three of them barge in the room and I sit on my bed. Zeke and Uri start to pile on Chris' while Four sits next to me.
"You were a wreck last night." He teases.
"Shit, What did I say?" I throw my head into my hands in despair.
"Nothing much, you wanted to dance-"
"-did I?"
"No, I decided it was time to take you home." he reassures me.
"Why thank you." I joke, looking up again.
"Good to see that you understand now."
"What do you mean?"
" I mean last night, you... you thought I meant differently by let's take you home."
"Crap, I'm sorry." I place my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. The painkillers have seemed to have started to work.
"It's okay, it was your first time getting drunk." He puts his arm around me and squeezes. I lift my head to see Uri and Zeke dragging Will, still in his clothes from the night before, out of Chris' bed.
"Shower, and we'll go, come on!' Zeke shouts. The two of them push him into the bathroom.
"Where are we going?" Will questions," back home?"
"If by home you mean the Chasm, then yeah!" Uriah replies.
"The chasm?" I ask Four.
"Yeah, it's a ravine filled with rapidly running water and sharp rocks, we tend to hang out round there every weekend."
"Well, doesn't that sound..."
"Fun? " He finishes.
"I was gonna say deadly."
"You'll learn to love it there one day."
"I'm sure I will."
"Do you wanna come with us?" He inquires.
"I should probably look after Chris-"
"She's big enough and ugly enough to look after herself. She got herself into this mess. You shouldn't have to clean up. "
"Well-"
"-So, what are we talking about?" Uriah says as he saunters out of the bathroom.
"I'm just telling Tris about the Chasm."
"That place is great, Tris, we're going later, do you want come with us."
"But Chris-"
"Screw Chris, she's a big girl."
"Well... okay, sure." I reluctantly give in, it'll be fun. Uriah's there, Zeke's there, Four's there," who else will be there? "
"I think you, me, Four, Zeke, Will and I was thinking of inviting Al." Uriah retorts.
"Al?" I ask.
"Yeah, well, after Four had to take you to bed, I was talking to Al and he seemed lonely, and well, it's the least we can do really." Zeke walks out of the bathroom and sneers,
"You sound like and Abnegation."
"Take that back, I'm a dauntless and always have been." Uriah launches into his brother. The two them start to roll on the floor pulling and tugging as Will walks out of the bathroom.
"What is going on here?" He jokes.
"Well, Zeke threatened Uriah's dauntless."
"Well come on you two." Will grabs the two of them by the collars and pulls them up, " We should get going soon."
"We need to pick up Al," Uri replies.
They said the chasm is about a mile away from school. We're currently pacing down the road kicking stones as we go. Up ahead Four and Uriah are in intense conversation whilst Will and Zeke seem to be rather hungover, walking in silence. Al and I walk several paces behind.
"So Tris, how are you feeling this morning." He says sarcastically.
"Well, I drank more beers than I'd like to think, had a very deep conversation with Uriah in the corner of the roof and danced before I had to be taken to bed by Four. So yeah, I'm great."
"I saw you and Four leave, I just presumed..."
"You presumed that Four and I left, together," I fill in the gap.
"Well, you know the way that you guys look at each other got me thinking-"
"-No, I don't like Four and he doesn't like me, he's turning into more of a brother. That's all we are friends."
"That would make sense."
"Finally someone gets it." I sigh.
"Finally?"
"Yeah, well, Uri's making presumptions and it's just really annoying how he thinks he knows our friendship better than we do."
"I get it, you guys barely know each other, you're still pretty new here."
"Here we are!" Shouts Will. I rush up ahead to see what the fuss is about, the chasm was huge. If you fell it would be instant death, little pain, but you wouldn't make it. I lean over the railing to see more, the roaring water beneath us splashes in droplets making my face damp. Four comes up behind me and pushes me quickly making me think I'll fall, but instead pulls me back into him.
"Saved your life!" He shouts keeping my close. I turn in his arms and try to hit him.
"You asshole!" I laugh.
"So, you like it?" He asks.
"How can you not?" I reply.
