Four POV
Once we get out the car I gently guide Tris up the pathway toward my house, Marcus isn't here for 2 weeks, something about a business trip in another state. I thank god, that thing I call a father can't hurt me today. As soon as we are in the house, Tris heads for my DVD cabinet. I see her eyes fix on a certain shelf and she surfs along the titles, I dump our school bags in the corner and head over to where she is.
"Found one!" She exclaims happily, I look at the title ' A Cinderella story'. "Who knew the famous Four Eaton would own a chick flick?" " Well what can I say, Chad Michael Murray is my hero." I says sarcastically and Tris breaks out into a laughing fit.
Just before the film starts I leave the room and grab a glass of water for Tris, just incase she felt worse. When I come back in, we sit on the sofa and start to watch the movie. I try and sit quite close to Tris whilst also edging closer to her. I didn't want to get to close, I didn't even know if she liked me the way I liked her. During the movie, Tris quickly jumps up and ends up running to the kitchen sink to empty her stomach, I'm swiftly behind her holding her hair back. After about 5 minutes, she seems to be finished so I sit her down on the chair,
"Better?" I ask, She nods slowly. " Do you want me to take you home?, "No, no my foster parents won't be home yet and plus I feel lots better, it normally dies down after a while." She hesitantly says. "What do you mean normally? Tris, does this happen often?" Tris diverts my eye contact, "Tris." I say seriously as she ignores me.
"Look Four, I've know you for less then a day, I don't have to tell you everything! How do I know this isn't a sick joke you and your little popular group are playing on me? Because why on earth would you want to be with me right now, were two different people Four!" She lashes out,
"Is that what you think this is Tris? You don't get it, this isn't a prank Tris! Has it never crossed your mind that I actually care about you, sure we've never talked but that doesn't mean that for the last few months I haven't made sure you were okay and safe everyday, everyday Tris."
Tris doesn't say anything, and she just stands staring at her shoes, she then says in an inaudible whisper, "Can you take me home now please. I'm sure I will be fine on my own." I simply nod and grab my keys off the side. She follows me into the car, we barely speak in the car only when she's giving me directions to her house. Within 5 minutes, I pull into Tris' driveway, she gently gets out of the car and leans into the open window to speak,
" I'm sorry Four, I didn't meant to lash out, it's just been a few hard months, I really am sorry, there are some secrets I'm just not ready to tell." I give her a soft smile "Your not the only one who has secrets Tris," I say sadly, thinking of all my dark memories." I will phone tomorrow okay, to make sure your alright." She smiles back. Tris then slowly heads towards the front door. I stay on the drive making sure Tris gets in her house safely, once she's through the door, I leave.
As I drive away I think to myself, what on earth can I do, to make this girl realise that I only want the best for her?
