Dear reviewer who gave me 2 tips recently:
1) Sorry when I first wrote this I had recently finished reading divergent fanfic I think, where a main character is Carol, so I'm sorry I accidentally called her Carol instead of Susan. I have fixed that.
2) And I'm sorry, I put that Tris' tattoos were crows and not ravens, I thought that I saw an interview where the interviewer had said that Tris had crows, so that kind of stuck in my head. I have also fixed that.
And as always guys, I don't own divergent! Veronica Roth does.
"Oh, Beatrice! " Caleb says with a tone of surprise in his voice. Seems like he wasn't planning on coming to see me anytime soon by the looks of it. "Come in, you might not want anyone to see you're here." I step inside and sit down on a chair by the leftmost desk, "So, how did you find me. I've never told you my dorm number. "
"It's not like I'm a stalker, I'm your sister, it's allowed." I sound like a stalker don't I? Siblings can be stalkers can't they?
"Yeah, but most sisters want to get away from their siblings, you know?"
"Well, yes, Caleb, but you know, I thought that seeing as the guys and I had watched a whole movie without any communication from you, I thought that the only way I would know if we were going home anytime soon was to come find you myself. "
"Eager to get home are we sis? I thought you would love to stay here with all your little boyfriends?" he sneers, he doesn't realise who my little friends are? I'm sure I've told him who they are just today?
"Well, Caleb, as I've already told you. My friends just so happen to all be on the football team. I don't know have you heard of Four, Uriah and Zeke? Yeah, well, the four of us are spending our time together while we all try to get home." The look on his face, this is one of the first time's I've actually stuck up for myself. We never really fought back at home. Mom and Dad considered it selfish and always told us off if we even raised our voices in the slightest, so for me to be standing up for myself, it's different. It feels dauntless. For the first time since I got here, I realise that I am properly dauntless, I have the upper hand should I need it, "So I don't think that little boyfriends is the phrase. They could all take you out in a heartbeat." I whisper.
"Well, no need to get dramatic. Look, Tris-" my name looks like it's uncomfortable to say, well I guess when you spend sixteen years of your life saying one name, switching to a different one is quite a change and must take sometime to adjust to," We'll get home soon, the snow's going to lighten tonight and then maybe the airport will open up tomorrow, we'll get on the next flight we can. I swear, I want to get home as much as you do. " He has a point. He and I both want to get home and the only way that we will is if we get along and I stop being so agitated.
"Okay, yes, sure... I just want to leave you know. It's been so long since we were there, I just want to be back already. " I sigh. For the past few weeks, I've had my hopes up for going home, so to be told that going home's been delayed, it's rather disheartening.
"Come here Tris," Caleb pulls me into a hug, he grips my waist tight while I slither my arms around his neck. This hug feels forced, not like a hug with Uriah or Four. They feel natural, I enjoy them and never want them to end, yet with my own flesh and blood, I want to escape as quickly as possible.
I arrive back to see the boys playing on a video games console of some form. Zeke and Uriah are shouting at the screen while Four intently stares, occasionally shouting the odd remark.
"How'd it go with Eurdite?" Four asks, not able to tare his eyes from the game, despite the fact that he's not playing.
"Well, he said we'll get on the next flight, but nothing more, we have no idea when we're leaving." I sigh. I slump down, sitting on Four's bed. He strides over leaving the two of them gaming. He sits next to me and slouches his arm around my shoulders. The amount of girls who would kill to be in this position is funny; especially Molly.
"If it helps, there's no sign of us leaving anytime soon either. You know about how we were going to be picked up, well. Their Mom decided that we should fly as soon as the snow lightens. We're as much at bay to the weather as you are, Tris. " It's odd for Four to call me buy my name, I don't think he's called me Tris since he met me, I'm not sure he even said that then.
"So we'll be leaving at the same time then? " I ask, I want to spend my time with these guys while we wait at the airport, yet, I have a sneaking suspicion that Caleb and this lot won't exactly get on well.
"Probably, we can catch a cab together, but I'm almost positive that we'll not only be on the same flight. " he laughs.
"Yeah, no we're not going to be, unless you guys want to come to the most boring town on God's good earth. "
"I think I'll pass, I was raised in a town like that. Why do you think I never go home for holidays?" The thought of never going home is almost insane. Even with the hometown I have, I'm happy to go home occasionally to visit Mom and Dad and not just talk to them over video calls , phone and texts.
"Never, like never ever?" I sound like a five year old, I can tell that, but I don't care, I just can't comprehend this.
"Yes, like never ever. I hated it there, I couldn't wait to get away from my parents." I love my parents, I always will, I'll always be happy to go and visit them; it's a treat.
"I'm sorry to hear that Four." I am unable to fathom any other words.
"It's not your fault, " he squeezes me closer to him. I let my head droop onto his shoulder as we just sit there in this cramped room, full of noises from videos games and people. We just sit there and time seems to almost stand still, just for us.
