CHAPTER 5

how do you guys like it so far?! Comment!! Fourtris happens super, super soon!!

FOUR POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decide to watch TV as I wait for the gang to get here.

About 40 minutes later, the doorbell rings and I can hear everyone yelling outside. I glance at Tris, but she is still in the same position I left her in.

I run downstairs and open the door. All at once, everyone starts yelling.

"Hey! Everyone quiet! She's upstairs in my room, sleeping."

They all push past me and run up the stairs. Even Lynn, Shauna's sister, who doesn't know Tris, came.

I go up to my room and I see Christina lightly brushing the hair from her face. I go and sit down in the edge on the bed and watch her and then the boys start staring at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You like her!" Uriah says all excited.

"Yeah, a lot!" Zeke adds.

"No I don't, guys, I mean I just met her. I barely know anything about her." I tell them.

"Yes, but you think you like her." Will says.

"I don't know man, I mean I might." I say looking down. All of the girls squeal.

I look over at Tris again and see that she is squinting at everyone.

"Hey Tris." I say.

They all start bombarding her with questions.

"Guys shut up! She just woke up!" I yell at them.

"Tris, they came by to see how you are feeling." I tell her.

"Well I feel like crap and that's not new." She says. Everyone laughs, not really getting that it's about her dad.

"Who's that?" Tris asks pointing to Lynn.

"I'm Lynn. I'm friends with everyone. Even Christina, who MAKES me go shopping. I hate it."

Tris giggles.

"I hate it too!" She exclaims.

Lynn high fives her and tells her that they are going to be best friends.

All of a sudden, Tris eyes widen.

"Guys what time is it?" She whispers.

"It's around 3, why?" Marlene asks.

She shoots straight up.

"I have to go." She says.

She turns to me.

"Four, where do you live."

"4645 Divergent Lane." I say.

"No way!" She says with a small laugh.

"What!"

"I live next door. 4646 Divergent Lane. See that's my bedroom. Past the big tree." She says pointing out my window.

"Umm.... Four? I don't know how to get out of your house." She says with a nervous laugh.

"Okay c'mon."

"Bye, everyone." She says.

She gets a chorus of bye's and I lead her downstairs. She looks around and just says 'wow.'

My house is pretty big and 'beautiful.' As my mother calls it.

I lead Tris to the door, but before she walks out, I grab her wrist.

"Does this have something to do with Marcus?" I ask.

She slowly nods her head. "I have to cook dinner for everyone and if I'm not home, then I get a beating." She whispers.

"Promise me you'll be okay." I say.

"Okay." I say.

"Oh yeah. I entered my phone number in your phone, while you are sleeping. Call me later."

She smiles and walks over to her house.

I hope she will be okay. I hope.

TRIS POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I run over to my house and immediately get questioned by Caleb.

"Where were you! You are 15 minutes late!"

"I had to stay after school. My art teacher wanted to show me one of her pictures." I lie.

"Well, go make dinner before mom and dad get home, other wise, they'll kill you." He tells me.

I go into the kitchen and decide to go Italian, tonight. I quickly cook a spicy sauce, pasta, and put bread out on the table. I make sure everyone has the same amount of food, well except for me. I have to eat less than everyone else.

Marcus and Evelyn come in with Caleb and sit down. They start eating and talking about things that I'm not allowed to talk about. I am only allowed to look at my plate the whole time because it is 'disrespectful' for ME to look THEM in the eye. I wait until everyone is done and clear the table.

PAGEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am laying on my bed thinking about my friends and Four. I know I just met him, but he is so nice and caring. I mean he did save me today.

All of a sudden, Caleb bursts into my room, and shuts the door.

I quickly stand up and ask him what he wants.

"Beatrice keep your voice down. They can't find out I'm in here. I was downstairs studying, but they thought I was upstairs. They said that they had enough money for a maid and they didn't need you anymore. They are planning on killing you tonight. I needed to tell you. You have to run away before it happens! You have to!" Caleb whisper-yells to me.

I just stand there in shock looking at him.

"How do I know this isn't another one of your pranks?" I ask.

"Beatrice, you have to believe me! Pack a bag! You have to go with one of your friends. Please!" He begs me.

I believe him.

"Are you sure." I ask him.

He nods his head.

I walk over to him and hug him. He seems surprised, but hugs me, too.

"Thank you for warning me. You were a good big brother, well minus the bullying."

He chuckles.

"And you were a good little sister. Bye Beatrice."

"Bye Caleb." He tiptoes out of my room as I grab a backpack. I shove my laptop, phone, a couple shirts, pants, and shorts in there and decide to go to Fours house. I know he doesn't have any siblings, so it will be easier not to get spotted. I quickly put my hair up and go to the window and climb out. I test my weight on one of the trees branches that rests between my house and his house. Luckily, it seems sturdy, so I start making my way across.

When I get to his window, I peek through his blinds. He is on his bed listening to music. I lean over as much as I can without falling and knock on the window lightly. He doesn't hear me, so I knock harder. I hear someone, probably his mom or dad yelling at him to be quiet. He takes off his beats and starts to yell something back. I quickly knock in the window again and he turns my way.

He walks over to the window and opens it up.

"Tris?"

"Yes."

He sticks his arms and head out the window and looks at me.

"Do you trust me?" He asks me.

I nod, glancing back at my house.

"Then jump. I'll catch you." He says.

I turn to him in shock, but he just nods.

I quickly jump to him and just as he promised, he caught me.

He pulls me in and sets me down.

"Thank you." I say. Then I jump back on top of him. I hug him and wrap my legs around his torso. I rest my head on his shoulder.

"Four, they're going to kill me. Marcus and Evelyn. They planned it for tonight. Caleb came and told me. He told me to go to a friends house and your right here, so I though it would just be easier." I pull back and look into his eyes.

"Do you mind if I crash here?" I ask.

He shakes his head. Then he does something surprising. He kisses me. And I do something even more surprising. I kiss back.

I pull away and start blushing. He gently places me on his bed and sits down next to me. He puts his arm around me and rubs my shoulder.

"I'm sorry I brought you into this mess, Four." I say.

"I'm not. And Tris my real name'a Tobias. Call me Tobias. It's good to hear my real name again." He tells me.

"Tobias," I say testing it out. "I like it. Do you mean Tobias as in Tobias Eaton, the mayors son?" I ask.

He nods. I put my head on his shoulder and I hear footsteps on the stairs. I quickly jump up and so does he.

"Under the bed." He hisses at me.

I dive under the bed just as the door opens.

"I hear talking is there someone else in here?"

I hear a voice say. I recognize that voice. Is that voice. No it can't be. It can't be.

Who do you think it's going to be?

Finally some FourTris action too! What do you think?!
