Chapter 8- Back in Business
Disclaimer- I don't own Divergent.
(Tris P.O.V.)
/Sunday Morning/
I wake up around 10:30am, with 30 texts from Tobias, 50 texts from a group message from Shauna, Marlene, and Christina. I text them back saying that I will meet them for lunch around 2.
I get a bunch of replies in less than 30 seconds, but I ignore them. Luckily no one is home to see me looking like an emotional wreck. I get showered, then I dress in a pair of baby blue skinny jeans, a pair of black UGGs and a gray sweater. I decide to wear a scarf with it.
I turn on the weather channel and see it is supposed to be windy. I go through my closet and see a bunch of Tobias' jackets. I sigh and fight off tears, maybe he didn't cheat on me.
He did, because he wasn't pushing away. Ugh! I grab an old cheer jacket and head out the door, to my car, then down the road to a fancy hair salon. Boy, is Tobias going to regret what he did now.
I schedule an appointment, but there are not a lot of people here, so the wait time is about 30 minutes. I am called back by a stylist, then I tell her what I want and she begins.
{2 Hours Later}
"Alright, thats it! This looks really good on you!" The hairdresser says as she finishes the blonde ombre on the bottom. I look at my new hair.
I have brown hair, with light auburn ombre, with dark blonde tips that are slightly curled! It looks amazing!
I thank the hairdresser, pay, then head out the door to my home, so I can start my homework. Then I remember I have lunch with the girls! I look at the clock on my phone, 1:30pm.
(A/N: There is a link in my profile to Tris' new hair! Just to clarify, it is image 16!)
I text them saying that I will arrive a little late to lunch, but the girls said it was okay, that they just sat down. I love Diprato's!
{2:05 pm. / Diprato's/}
I get to Diprato's and I head back to their table. Christina squeals when she sees me. I sit down and Marlene, Shauna, and Christina freak out about my hair. I laugh as they talk about how good it looks. Then we talk about Tobias.
I tell them everything, the date, Carowinds, football games, video games, breakfasts, all of it. They sit there and we talk it over. Finally Christina pipes up. "I don't think he would cheat on you."
"I agree with Christina, I don't think Four really cheated on you. Besides, look who did it, Bitchy Blair. She did that last year to Zeke, I almost whooped her ass! She is a slut, and you should see Four! He face timed Zeke last night while I was over at his house, after he took you home. He was saying something about she shoved him into it. You could hear him crying. I couldn't hear the rest of the conversation because I was falling asleep." Shauna says.
"I'll see if Uriah saw what happened. From what you said earlier, it doesn't sound like he cheated on you, but I understand what you mean. Its okay if you don't believe us, we are going to let you talk it out with Four." Marlene says, while she is texting, probably Uriah.
"Four was never this nice, he always looked so stiff. Once you two started dating, he has been a different person. You have an amazing impact on his life, I doubt he would want to end it." Shauna says, after sipping her Coke.
The waiter comes up and we order our late lunch. We talk about cheer, hair, and clothes for a while.
{After lunch}
"It was so nice to see you girls, thank you for helping me out with my problem." I say, then we all hug. I paid for lunch, but the girls insist they pay me back, but I deny, I brought them out, I pay.
I wave to them and then head to my car. I drive home listening to Lana Del Rey radio on Pandora. This station helps me think about what to do with Tobias.
{6:30pm.}
I don't feel like cooking anything so I head out to get something to eat.
{Monday Morning}
(Tobias P.O.V.)
I have been trying to get a hold of Tris over the past day, because I DIDN'T cheat on her! Bitchy Blair was drunk and kissed me. I tried shoving her away, but she latched onto me. She forcefully shoved herself onto me to make it look like I was holding her. Most people saw it, so If I need help, Zeke can back me up.
I walk up to Zeke's locker. I lean against the one next to him. Finally I speak, "Hey Bro."
"Hey bro, how are things with Tris? Shauna said that they had lunch with her yesterday, they told her that you didn't cheat on her, but she still should talk to you about it." Zeke says pulling out his books. "Are you still together, or did you take a break?"
"From what I know, we are still together. I haven't been able to talk to her about it, sooo." I say, holding out the 'o'.
He nods then I turn my head when I hear people whistling. I then see Tris. She is wearing leather boots that go up to her knee, but are a few inches down from her knee cap. She is also wearing dark skinny jeans, and a tight purple shirt with a scarf. Her hair is different.
Her hair makes her look even more gorgeous. She has brown hair on the top, then auburn and blonde highlights towards the bottom. Her hair is slightly curled at the bottom. Gah, she looks sexy. I miss her, so much.
She walks to her locker, then Zeke nods towards her. "Fix it." I nod then make my way over.
I tap her on her shoulder. She turns to look at me, her lips pinched into a straight line.
"Hey." I say. I open my locker.
"Hey.." She says rather quietly. She then begins to rummage through her locker.
"Your hair looks nice, Tris." She turns back to me and smiles. Before she can say anything, I say, "Hey, listen. I understand you're mad. I would be mad if I were in your shoes, too. What happened on Friday." She nods. "Can I explain, its okay if you don't want to. We can break up, its up to you." I choke the last part out. I feel water building in my eyes.
She shuts her locker, leans against it. She stares at me, my eyes flicker between her beautiful eyes. I see tears starting to form in her eyes. We stand there, staring into each others eyes. A tear falls from her eye. Then they start to come faster.
Before I know it, my arms are wrapped around her petite frame. Then her arms wrap around my torso. I lean down a bit and whisper into her ear, "I'm sorry about what happened. I love you." I feel her nod.
She pulls away, then she says something I never wanted to hear. "Tobias, I want to break up. I'm sorry." She spins and runs off. I see Christina shoot me a glare, then her, Shauna, and Marlene run off following her.
I'm not sure how I react. I feel tears flow down my cheeks, I just stand there, hoping that if I stand still, it will go away.
All I'm doing is just standing still.
(Tris P.O.V.)
I guess promises are made to be broken.
Why did I do that to him. I should have gave him an explanation. I should have told him that my dad was in a car crash, that I still want to date him, just not right now because of my dad. The fact that he is half way across the continent, in a hospital, hooked up to a ventilator, barely alive makes me so depressed, it is controlling me. My dad, he is a Prior. He will survive. He taught me one thing when I was younger, that is, to never give up. To always fight till the end.
I have to fight to get Tobias back. I should have never even broken up with him in the first place. He is the only one who comforts me at night. When I'm wrapped in his embrace, I feel complete.
I run away, tears flowing down my cheeks. I run into the bathroom and burst out in tears. Half the school knows what happened on Friday. I am positive the whole school knows now because it's Monday. Hell, the teachers probably know.
A few girls come up to me asking me what happened, before I can answer, Christina busts up all in the bathroom shoo-ing everyone out, except Shauna and Marlene, of course. I am so grateful for friends like these girls, who help me out in times like these.
"Trissy! What happened!" Christina asks, while Shauna and Marlene get something for me to wipe my face with.
"Four and I br- broke" I see their jaws drop to the floor as I manage to say 'broke'. "broke u-up." I stutter out in between tears. Then I feel pairs of arms wrap around me.
"WHO BROKE UP WITH WHO!?" Christina yells, now the people in the vicinity of the girls bathroom now know.
"I broke up wi-with him." I say. They give me looks of being sad and confused. "I found out so-some bad news last ni-." I say then burst out in tears. I cry for everything.
I cry for being attacked by Peter.
I cry for being attacked by Al.
I cry for breaking up with Tobias.
I cry for my dad, who is fighting for his life in a hospital, who knows where.
I cry for my family, for not being as close as we should be.
"I don't want to talk about it." I manage to choke out before they can say anything. They nod, then the bell rings, signaling we have to go to class.
{ELA}
I sit in a 4 person pod with Christina, Shauna, and Marlene. I know Tobias is sitting near me. We start another project, that's why we are sitting in a pod.
There is quiet chatter from the groups. My phone rings, its a call from my dad! I hope he is well.
"Hello." I say Mrs. Rosenthal looks at me.
"Miss Prior, I need you to put your phone away! Before I take it!" She says. I don't obey.
"Tris, this is Dr. Clark, well, your father went into a coma a few minutes ago. He may not wake up. I'm terribly sor-." Is what I hear because Mrs. Rosenthal grabs my phone and hangs up.
I burst out in tears. I can't stop. Everyone looks at me. I cry more. I hear quiet whispers asking about why I'm crying.
I stand up, and cry. I walk up to the front of the room. I manage to calm my tears.
"Well, since some of you are wondering why I am crying." I say clearly, I put my glance to Tobias. "Last night I found out my dad was in a horrible car crash." I feel tears filling my eyes. "That w-was his do-doctor." I cry full out now. Christina runs up and pulls me into a hug.
"The doctor sa-said he is in a c-co-coma." I cry and whisper into her ear. "He may n-not wa-wake up." I cry. She pulls away a tad, I see tears form in her eyes. "Tell them." I say, referring to the class.
"I'm sorry Tris." She says, then pulls away. I walk back to my desk and sit down. I put my head down and cry.
"Tris said that the was her dad's doctor. The doctor said that her dad went into a coma, and he may not wake up." Christina says. I hear gasps. That's it. I stand up and run out of the class, tears streaming down my cheeks.
