Last chapter was pretty rough huh? I knew that most of you thought that it would be a cliché New Year's Eve! (Like I naively thought mine would be) :P Let's see how it works out, shall we? :) Enjoy! :)

Tris POV.

When I wake up I am slightly confused, I can see that I am not in my own room or in the same cloths as last night. I look around and realize that I'm on the coach in the living room, and judging by the noise from the kitchen Caleb is already up. I sit up and I feel sick instantly, I lay back down and grunt in pain because of my massive headache. I look at my arm, and I see a burning wound. Suddenly I remember the episode from the back yard, how I exploded because of what she said about Four. God damn alcohol makes me a weird person. Caleb comes back from the kitchen, and then he gives me a worried look.

"How much did you drink last night?" He asks, sitting down in a chair.

"Waaaay too much" I mumble into the pillow. "Did you change my clothes?"

"Yeah, those jeans didn't really look comfortable to sleep in. You kind of just past out, because you were lying on the floor when I came home. I didn't really want to carry you all the way up"

"Thank you. Last night wasn't really my night" I say looking away embarrassed about getting so drunk, Caleb chuckles from the chair.

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. New Year's Eve, you are supposed to get drunk as hell" I smile and shake my head, not too much though, afraid that the headache will get worse.

"I guess so, where is my phone by the way?" I say pressing my hands against my forehead, not that it will help.

"Here. Want me to get you and aspirin?" He asks as he walks over to hand the phone to me.

I smile up at him, and give him a little nod. When he is gone I open my phone, and I have 4 texts and 6 missed calls. All the missed calls are from Four, I frown and delete the messages he left, before even listening to them. I start checking the texts.

Hey Tris! Guess you went home.. Just text me when you wake up! – Uriah

I just remembered that I left without saying goodbye to anyone, didn't even think about that they might be worried. I open the next message.

Girl! We can't find you anywhere, Will and I just left. I really don't hope that you are dead or something, text me when you wake up. I start texting back.
Yeah, I'm alive, thought it feels like I am dead. Sorry for just leaving, but there was an episode and I kind of just needed to get out of there. Will explain it some other time.

The last two messages are from Four, and I am really thinking about just deleting them. I let out a sigh, and open the first one.

Yeah, yeah. I'm at the party! Where are you? Oh, now you care! Huh?! Since there is no slut grinding up against you!

Happy New Year to my favorite girl! Since I didn't see you last night, maybe you want to hang out later.

"Are you trying to be funny? Of course you didn't see me last night! You just waved us off, idiot!" I hiss to no one. Caleb returns with an aspirin and a glass of water, giving me a weird look.

"Who are you talking to?" He says as he hands me the pill and the water.

"Myself" I say and swallow it.

"By the way, Four texted me 10 minutes ago. Asking about you"

"I couldn't care a less" I say coldly, lying back down under the blanket.

"Something happened?"

"You can say that"

Caleb is about to question about it, when there is a loud knock on the door. He gets op to open the door, I turn around facing pillows.

"If that's Four, you don't let him in here!"

"Hey is Tris home" Even his voice makes me angry, and let out a frustrated frown.

"She is yeah, but she says that she don't want to see you"

"What?" Four's voice is full of wonder.

"I don't know. What did you do?" Caleb's voice is firm, and I can imagine him standing there with his arms crossed.

"I didn't do anything" Four sounds frustrated.

"Well you must have done something, since my sister is pissed"

"Let me talk to her then!" Four says, probably trying to push his way past Caleb.

"No. You can talk to her when she decides to let you in"

"Fine, then I am waiting here"

Caleb closes the door, and then comes back.

"So tell me, what did he do"

I tell him the whole story, and I am surprised how angry I get just when I talk about it.

"Listen, Tris. I understand that you're mad and hurt, because you really care about this guy. Problem is, he just got screwed over by his girlfriend. That kind of stuff does something strange to guys, he wants to proof something, that's why he was all to that random girl. He cares about you, Tris. I know that. But he can't be with you, he is too hurt. He is not ready for a relationship full of emotions. He is afraid that he will get screwed over again" I look up at him. I guess that makes sense, I can feel some of my anger leaving.

"That still doesn't justify how he just waved us off!" I say, just desperate to find something to be angry about.

"I will give you that, but he is your best friend right? Then you should be able to talk to him about it. Think about that, and then I will go to The Pit and order some burgers"

He gets up, and walks out of the door. I'm trying to figure out if I should go out there and talk to him, maybe let him explain himself. Couldn't hurt, maybe I get a chance to punch him in the face.

When I step out on the porch, Four is leaning against the house and playing on his phone. He looks up and puts it away, I walk into the house and I can hear him follow me.

"Caleb said you didn't want to see me?" He says, sitting down beside me in the couch.

"Can you please sit over there?" I say pointing to the chair Caleb was in earlier, he looks at me confused but gets up.

"Tell me Tris, did I fuck up?"

"You really have no idea, do you?" He looks at me and shakes his head.

"No, I was worried about you last night. You didn't show up to the party and…" He starts, but I cut him off.

"What the hell are you talking about? I was at the party!" I exclaim, is he sitting there trying lie to me?!

"Where were you?! I didn't see you! I just saw Will and Christina dancing with this girl I haven't seen before. Who was she? The one with the leather jacket?" I look at him and narrow my eyes, is he playing some kind of joke on me?

"That was me? You idiot! I was with there, I saw you! Mr. I am not good with new people. You were so busy making out with that girl, that you didn't even recognize you best friend! So yes Four! You fucked up!" He sits there and trying to proses what I just told him, he mumbles something to himself, I only catch some of it.

"That was you… But she looked so different… sexy" I am trying not to let the words affect me, thought that 'sexy' echoes in my head.

"I'm so sorry Tris, I was drunk and sad. Thinking that I wasn't going to kiss anybody at midnight, and you weren't there. I can't believe I screwed up like this, after you gave me that chance" He buries his face in his hands, and I really want to comfort him and tell him that it's okay, but I resist it.

"Maybe you should know something about the girl you ditched us for; She used you. I heard her call you ugly and telling her friend that she probably saved your night. She gave you a fake number, and you know the funny part of this? Even though you ditched me for some slut, I stood up for you. I told her to shut up, I picked a fight for you" My voice is louder, but I am not yelling. It scares me to see Four so sad, I'm surprised that it is such a big deal for him.

We sit in silence and I start to think about how this is going to be. I'm thinking about something one of my friends once told me;
You can never be "just friends" with somebody you use to love, simply because a little part of you will always love them. I look at the boy in front of me, his face full of regret and sadness. The problem is that this boy, has been growing on me the last couple of months. We have become close, and it's too hard just to let this go. Deep inside I know it's not his fault that he doesn't have the same feelings towards me. Look how much it affects me when we are disagreeing, imagine how it would be if we weren't friends anymore. I need to be around him, and if it's only as his best friend, that's what I will take. For now at least.

"I should go" He whispers and start to get up, before I know it I grab his arm.

"No, you stay. Yeah, you fucked up. People fuck up. I will probably also fuck up a million times, so let's just call it a terrible night" I say. He gives me a little smile, but his face changes when he looks at my arm.

"What's that?!" I look down in the nasty burned area.

"Well, the girl you kissed, I hold her and I wouldn't let go. So she burned me, with her smoke"

"I'm going to find out who she was, and then I am going to find someone who wants to teach her a lesson. Nobody hurts my favorite girl" He hisses.

"And nobody talks shit about my favorite boy!" The words feels weird in my mouth, but I guess I will just have to get used to it. Caleb comes back with a bag with three burgers, I look at him.

"How did you know that I would forgive him?" Caleb flashes me a smirk.

"Come on Beatrice! It's you. So you guys are good?" Four looks at me for approval.

"Yeah, we are good"

God, I need to start dating.
