Can't belive how possitive you guys are being! It makes me happy, and really makes me want to write more all the time! Damn! Enjoy this :D
Tris POV.
Turns out that my old friend was right, it's impossible to go back to being 'just friends', but I did my best. Since Four didn't know about my feelings for him, he just moved on like nothing happened. I, on the other hand, still liked him, and I still felt a little pain in my chest whenever he was flirting with other girls. It's Friday and I am hanging out with one of my old friends.
"So have is everything at the new school?" I ask him as we are walking towards The Pit.
"Everything is fine, God I miss you though. How is everything with you, any cute boys?" Mo asks wiggling his eyebrows, I push him playfully.
"Not boys, only one, but I don't think it will work out. I could ask you the same thing"
"Oh, yeah there are plenty of cute boys. Unfortunately they're playing on the wrong team. Tell me about this boy"
"Well he is really sweet, really handsome and then he is my best friend" Mo looks at me with a hurt expression.
"Hey! I thought I was your best friend!"
"He is my best straight friend, that's different"
"Okay then. He sounds like a good catch"
"He really is… And apparently he is on work today" I say as we are walking into The Pit, Mo follows my gaze and he gasps when he sees Four in the bar. Four notice me, and flashes me a big smile, he looks at Mo and his smile seems to fall a little. We find a table, and after a moment Four comes over.
"Hi Tris" He says and gives me a one arm hug. "Who is your friend?"
"Hi there, this one of oldest friends. Mohamad aka Mo, and this is Four" They shake hands, and I can see Mo is looking at him up and down. He is wearing a disturbing hungry look.
"I can see what you mean, Tris" I kick him under the table, Four smirks a bit.
"Nice to know I've been talked about, well what can I get for you guys?"
"Just a cheeseburger and a coke for both of us" I nods and walks away, as soon as he far away enough I grab Mo by the collar.
"You need to control yourself! This embarrassing! You are freakin' drooling" I hiss .
"Sorry Honey, but you need to get that guy! He is too hot!"
I roll my eyes at him and let go.
As we have almost finished out meal, my phone starts to ring.
"Hello?"
"Tris, you are going to a party with me tonight" Christina says excited, I let out a sigh.
"No, I don't think so. I really don't feel like…"
"Stop it, Tris! It's been two months since that sucking New Year's Eve, you need put yourself out there! Forget about Four! You are going with me!" She cuts me off, and a part of me knows that she is right. I can't just say no to my social life, just because of that bad experience.
"Uhmm, I am with one of my friends tonight" I say, hoping that she will understand and let it go. But of course not.
"Bring him!" I take the phone away from my mouth and look over at Mo.
"Do you want to go to a party to night?" Please say no, Please say no!
"Of course! We haven't partied together since that night you threw up out of my window!"
"Thanks for the reminder, wonder why we haven't partied since" I mumble before pressing the phone back to my ear.
"Okay, we will be there. Text me directions" I hang up and look over at Mo, he looks like a little kid who just been told we are going to Disney World.
"Oh my God! This is going to be so awesome! You are going to get so drunk!" He exclaims.
"Who is going to get drunk?" Four's voice takes me by surprise.
"Uhmm… We are…" I stutter, so Mo cuts in.
"Tris and I are going to a party somewhere. You should come too!" No he shouldn't, what the hell is he doing?
"Well I'm off at 10, so I can come after. You are okay, Tris? Look if you don't want me to come…"
"No it's fine Four. Who else is going to kick all the sluts asses" I say with a fake smile.
"Good! See ya, and the food is on the house" He walks away with a wink.
"I swear I am going to kill you, if you keep doing that" I say firmly at Mo, who just flashes me his best: 'uhh I am so innocent' smile.
"I don't know why I'm doing this, but at least you're not forcing me into make-up and dress" I say as we are driving to the party, Mo just shakes his head from the driver seat.
"Could you stop complaining? Seriously, when did you turn into such a crying baby?"
"Shut up"
As we arrive to the party most people are heavy drinking, and when Christina comes towards us she is stumbling.
"Tris! Who is your friend?!" She says while hugging me.
"Just the party who just arrived!" Mo yells over the music, already with a beer in his hand. I swear that boy, he has a super natural power. He can find alcohol faster that anybody.
"This guy I like, he is funny! Could you pass some of that funniness over to Tris?" I punch her shoulder.
"Sure thing! First step, get her some alcohol!" Before I know it I am being dragged towards I table where they are playing beer pong, and I again before I know it, my head is spinning.
"But tell me, have you told him about your feelings?" Mo slurs as we take a seat in the couch.
"No, of course not"
"Then you are doing it tonight" Before I can protest, Four joins us. And I can feel my face lightning up, I get up and throw my arms around his neck. He chuckles into my neck.
"Someone is happy to see me?"
"Very happy, dance with me?" I ask reaching for his hand, he takes it pulls me towards the 'dance floor' As we reach it, the song changes to "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran.
"Buuh! Slow dance is no fun!" I say starting to walk back to the couch, but Four holds me in place.
"No, but it's really nice. Especially when you are going to dance with most beautiful girl at the party" I frown as we start to dance.
"You are just saying that because you are my friend" We circle around, but I keep him on a distance.
"Why are you so far away?" He asks laughing a bit.
"Just making some space for the holy spirit"
He shakes his head at me, and pulls me close. I can't help but notice how good I fit in his arms.
"See much better" He mumbles into my hair.
I think about what Mo said, that I need to talk to him. He acts like he has some sort of feelings for me, and I am actually really tired of being confused all the time. I need to talk to him, what is there to lose?
Oh that's right, just our entire friendship
"I need to talk to you" I say and break away from him.
"Sure, come" He takes my hand and drags me outside, fining a space away from the other people.
"Talk to me, Hon" He says in a playful tone. I take a deep breath, here goes nothing.
"Okay, Four. There is a reason why I reacted that way when that New Year slut talked shit about you, there is a reason why I got so mad at you" I start, fiddling with the hem of my shirt. He takes my hands to make me stop.
"Yeah, because I was a total dick and you were being a great friend" He says, giving my hand a little squeeze.
"Yeah, that is a part of it, but there is more… I…. I really like you Four, and it did hurt like hell when you kissed that girl. I know I had no right to be mad about it, because you didn't know about my feelings. So now you know" I finish, I carefully look up at him and he is wearing a little shy smile. The problem is, his eyes are looking apologizing.
"Tris, I like you too and if I wanted a girlfriend it should be you. The problem is that I am still hurt and I am not ready for such a serious relationship. You are an amazing girl Tris, you deserve so much better than me" He whispers the last part. I can feel the tears pressing their way out.
"Problem is, for me there is nothing better that you" I whisper back. A single tear escapes, and I reach up to wipe it away.
"Please don't cry, Tris. Don't waste your tears on me" He strokes my cheek gently.
"I need to be alone for a minute" I say and get up, Four holds on to my hand for a second before letting it go. The moment I am turned away from him, I just let the tears fall.
Damn, should they just get together like now or what?! :O
