I don't own Divergent!

Chapter 8

"Tris come on we're home now. Ugh Tris wake up. I swear I will poke you! Fine you left me no choice!" The voice of none other than Four wakes me and as soon as his finger goes near my face I bite him. "Ouch! Tris! Really?!"

"Yeah, and there's nothing you can do about it!" I know he would pick me up but we are on an airplane. Well we landed. But still the point is there. I get up and grab my bag before practically running off the plane. This will be the first time in months I have seen my family. After running out of the plane (falling a lot) I see my brother standing with his friends along with my parents. I feel my face fall. Caleb is here. In the same room as me. But worse with his friends.

-flashback-

"You know Bea you're never gonna get that channel to be popular or even anything you do. You're just going to fail and have consternated too much on all this stuff that you're going to fail in life," Caleb said. And worse all his friends had laughed.

-flashback over-

I guess I should thank him. It's that kind of comment that drove me to work harder. But it doesn't mean he has the right to be here. He's probably just using me to get popular and that's about it.

"Good job Bea!" Caleb exclaims.

"Leave," I almost scream at him.

"Why Bea?"

"Hm, let's see, you didn't believe in me, you don't care about me, when I was six you threatened me with a knife, you repeatedly told me that all my dreams were useless and that I didn't have any talents, and they are only a few examples. So I believe I have full reason to not want you near me," I say levelly. Out of the corner of my eye I see all my friends shooting each other looks, and I understand why.

"But Bea I was only trying to motivate you to work harder,"

"Yeah totes, by putting a knife to my throat and telling me to go kill myself. In what universe is that motivation?"

"Look Bea I'm sorry,"

"Well you should have thought about that before you messed my life up!"

"Bea..."

"No, just no. Don't even call me that, that is for my family and loved ones to call me," I can tell that hurt him, but what he did for years hurt me.

"But..."

"Just leave me alone, your not Caleb anymore, your just a cold hearted bully," he walks away his friends trailing behind him. I walk up to my parents and hug them tightly before going to my friends.

"Hey... Yeah... Sorry 'bout that," I say.

"Ok girl, one question,what the flip was that?!" Chris practically yells at me. Even though I know she want a serious answer my only reply is...

"My nightmares," that's the only conversation we have before everyone's parents come up to see their children. One thing I notice is Four standing off to the side on his own so I go up to him and grab his hand. Sending sparks up my arm, might I add. And drag him to my parents, because we're taking him back to his place. Over the past months I have definitely developed feelings for him. But who would want to date me? I'm short, skinny, dull haired and eyed, and not to mention look like I have never hit puberty and am afraid of intimacy. I mean look at me!

-Page Break, Because Life-

We pull up at Four's house and I insist on walking him in. Finally when he gives up the argument we walk up toward the house. And I swear that as we get closer I can smell the sent of stale alcohol. The nearer we get the more pungent the smell is and before long I feel like running away and barfing as we get closer still I realise that Four is standing stiff and awkward by the door as if there is a demon breathing down the back of his neck.

A/N sorry people I'm not dead I've started reading TMI (The Moral Instruments) which I am in love with. So much love! I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Anyway I will try to update more frequently. Let's say that if I get three reviews I'll update later tonight.

Love ya!
