Tris POV
It's been a month since Four and I became friends, we were getting closer everyday, he has even started sitting with my friends at lunchtime, the first time he did it, Chris gave me a little wink. She thinks Four and I are together. I do like him and over the past month I have realised that he does care for me but the only problem is that I can't go out with him, he doesn't know about my baby. I'm scared to tell him too because what if he turns around and abandons our friendship. I don't want that - because I'm starting to care a lot about him too.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard my phone buzz, "I'm coming to walk with you, be there in 5." It was a text from Four, this was another thing he had started to do recently, walking me to and from school. I did enjoy walking with him because i enjoyed every minute I spent with Four.
I quickly send a response to Four and grab my bag. I'm 3 months pregnant today, and still no one knows. The thing is, I know I need to see a doctor, I want my baby to be healthy and I haven't taken any vitamins or stuff what your meant to take when your pregnant so I really need to do it. But I'm petrified. Because it would mean telling my foster parents, and therefore my little secret wouldn't be a secret anymore.
I dart down the stairs, grabbing a few pieces of toast on the way out, "Hungry?" My foster mother, June, asks, " Starving, I will see you later." I smile and walk out the door. Just like usual Four is waiting for me on the corner,
"Prior, it's a glorious morning so how about we take detour in the park?" Four grins, " But won't we be late for school?" Trust me to think about school. " My dear dear Tris, we have no first two periods so I believe we do have some time to kill." "Oh yeah." I reply. Damn these hormones were really messing with my head.
On the way to the park we talk small talk and such, however once we reach the park, Four takes my hand and leads me to a part of the park I've never been before. It's then when I see it. Under a beautiful willow tree, there is a laid out picnic.
"Four what's all this?" I ask questionably, he's doesn't respond with some sarcastic comment or joke but Instead with a very serious tone, "We need to talk Tris." I sit down and he soon follows but he doesn't release my hand.
"Look Tris, this past month has been amazing, your my best friend and I never thought that would be possible. So look what I'm trying to say, is that I like you, I really do and I can't hold it in any longer." He looks into my eyes pleading for an answer.
"Four-" I start but he interrupts me, " Don't call me that." He says gently, "Then what do I call you?" " Just not anything for now." I give him a confused look but he signals me to carry on. "Four, I like you too, I really do. But something big is holding me back and I can't tell you what it is." He looks hurt but still responds, " I don't care Tris Prior, whatever it is I can help you get through it." He squeezes our held hands, and I give him a weak smile.
" So the only thing I can ask Tris is will you go out with me?" He stares into my eyes waiting for an answer. What do I say? Of course I want to go out with him, I like him a lot but I'm scared of love after what that monster did to me. There's also the quite big situation of him leaving me once he finds out about my pregnancy. Four says he will help me through anything and I believe him to some extent. Although I just know a baby will be too much.
However, against all the rejections my mind is telling me, I squeeze his hand in response and say "Yes."
Four slowly releases our hands and brings his up to my face carefully touching my cheek, he then gently places his lips on mine. I kiss back, savouring every moment as the butterflies in my stomach go crazy. This may have not been my first ever kiss but it was my first ever kiss that I felt so much passion. It wasn't rushed, and Four did it so lovingly. As we pull away for air, our foreheads touch.
" I've been waiting so long to do that." He whispers, I don't respond verbally but I simply kiss him back.
