CHAPTER 32

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

I feel the body warmth of someone's hands on my head moving slowly.

I keep my eyes closed and then I hear the loudest sound I have ever heard in my entire life.

I cover my hands with my face and groan wiggling around trying to make the sound stop.

"Hangover time!" I hear someone say in a sing song voice.

"Pause the movie for a second." I recognize the voice as Tobias's.

"Tris. Is the movie loud?" Tobias asks.

"Yes." I moan.

"Okay. Let's sit up." Tobias says pushing me up.

All of a sudden, I hear my heartbeat in my head and let me tell you, it doesn't feel good. At all.

I groan again hold my head in my hands and blink my eyes open. The whole gang is there and smirking at me.

"Tris, come on, let's get you to bed." Tobias says soothingly.

"What movie are you watching?" I ask.

"Dumb and dumber two." Zeke yells and I cringe backwards.

Tobias rubs my back and gets up leading me with him.

"I wanted to watch this movie." I whine.

"Another time." Tobias says.

"Not fair." I pout.

"Come on let's go upstairs." Tobias tells me.

"No." I argue.

"Fine, but don't complain to me when your headache is ten times as bad." Tobias says in in defeat.

"Tris, if you want your sundae its in the freezer." Zeke says.

"Sundae?" I ask.

"You made me make you a sundae because of what I said." Zeke says as if I should know.

"I never said that."

"She was drunk. She doesn't remember." Will states.

"Fine. We're going to put the movie back on. Okay Tris?" Marlene says unsure of what to do.

I nod and the screen flashes back to life.

"Too bright!" I yell shielding my eyes with my hands.

"That's it. Time for bed. We can rent it tomorrow at my house, okay?" Tobias says.

I nod and Tobias picks me up bridal style. I giggle and Tobias smirks at me.

"I'm going to bed, too, guys. See you tomorrow." Tobias yells down the stairs.

We get a chorus of 'good nights' and 'I'll see you tomorrow.' Tobias places me on the bed and tells me that I should get ready for 'beddy-bye time.'

I go into the bathroom and flick on the light causing the room to look like the sun.

"Nooo." I moan and sink to the ground covering my face with my hands.

"Tris." Tobias laughs from the doorway.

"I am never drinking again." I say.

"Okay. Fine. Here." I hear the light switch flick again and I peek out from in between my fingers.

I slowly stand up in the dark and begin brushing my teeth and washing my face.

"Why does it hurt so much." I complain to Tobias as I slide into bed next to him.

"Because that's what happens when you drink. Hangovers." Tobias says looking right into my eyes.

"I don't like it." I whine and close my eyes.

"Nobody does."

Soon, I drift off into the unknown.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Marcus comes at me with a belt in his hands. "Beatrice this is for your own good. To make you better." He says with his cold eyes.

I instantly shrink back against the wall and he raises the belt and swings it back with such an amazing force, I don't think a second went by.

I scream out in pain as suddenly the belt digs itself deeper and deeper into my skin by itself before disappearing completely.

I feel it hitting inside of me and Marcus just smirks.

"What did you to me!" I scream at him tears pouring down my face.

"I am just making you a better person." Marcus says with a glare.

"No. You can't make me a better person if I am dead!" I cry out in pain as the belt hits my ribcage. From the inside.

Marcus comes up to me and kneels down so that he is on the same level as my face.

"The belt is working itself to make you more like me. We can be a great team!" Marcus yells with an evil laugh.

I scream again and Marcus punches me right across the mouth.

"You don't scream so loud!" He roars.

I feel the belt begin to come out of my stomach and I cry out. I have never felt such an intense pain before.

"MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE! STOP!" I scream.

I jolt awake and bang heads with Tobias who was up close and personal against my face shaking me and yelling my name.

I cry into Tobias's shirt as he runs my back gently.

"Is everything okay?" Shauna asks with scared eyes peering into our room.

"Tris are you alright?" Tobias asks with urgency ignoring Shauna.

I just nod. I can't seem to manage to talk right now.

"She's okay. Nightmare? Nightmare Tris?" Tobias asks.

I nod again and Shauna walks out.

"To--bi--as." I say in between fits of crying.

"Shhhhhh....... I'm here......... I'm here........ Calm down........ Shhhhhh." He whispers into my hair.

I don't know how much time as passed, but I finally wipe away my tears. 4:38 AM.

"Are you ready to talk about it?" Tobias whispers pulling away so he can look me in the eyes.

"Marcus, he..... took his belt and hit me....... but it went inside of me and was hitting me inside there............ He said it was going to make me more like him......" I break out into another fit of sobs and Tobias pulls me into another big hug.

"Is this what this is about? Being more like him? Are you scared of that?" Tobias asks me.

"Why wouldn't I be." I cry.

"Tris..... it isn't possible for you to be like him. He's to cruel and you're nice.... when you want to be, and sweet, and you actually care about people." He whispers into my ear.

"You don't know that in the future, I might not be like him." I say trying to wipe the tears away from my face.

"You won't. It just won't happen. You have to trust me and everyone else who knows you on that, okay?"

I nod and we lay back down together. I know that I won't be able to fall back asleep, but I try.

TOBIAS POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am unable to fall asleep, so I am just staring up at the ceiling thinking about everything when I feel movements next to me. Tris is starting to convulse and breathe really hard.

"Hey Tris." I say shaking her arm.

She starts crying in her sleep and screaming out in...... in pain?

"Tris! Tris! Tris wake up!" I yell shaking her whole body.

"MAKE IT STOP! STOP! PLEASE!" She screams.

"TRIS!" I scream and shake her again.

She jolts awake and bangs head with me. She looks around and begins to cry even harder than she was in her sleep. I gently rub her back and I hear the door open slightly.

"Is everything okay?" Shauna asks with scared eyes peering into our room.

"Tris are you alright?" I ask with urgency ignoring Shauna.

She just nods. I worry now that she doesn't talk because that is what she normally does after nightmares. Talks.

"She's okay. Nightmare? Nightmare Tris?" I quickly asks.

Tris nods again and Shauna walks out.

"To--bi--as." She says in between fits of crying.

"Shhhhhh....... I'm here......... I'm here........ Calm down........ Shhhhhh." I whisper into her hair. I glance at the clock 3:34 AM.

About an hour later, Tris gradually begins to stop crying.

"Are you ready to talk about it?" I whisper pushing her away so I can look her in the eyes.

"Marcus, he..... took his belt and hit me....... but it went inside of me and was hitting me inside there............ He said it was going to make me more like him......" She breaks out into another fit of sobs and I pull her into another big hug.

"Is this what this is about? Being more like him? Are you scared of that?" I ask her.

"Why wouldn't I be." Tris cries.

"Tris..... it isn't possible for you to be like him. He's to cruel and you're nice.... when you want to be, and sweet, and you actually care about people." I whisper into her ear.

"You don't know that in the future, I might not be like him." She says trying to wipe the tears away from her face.

"You won't. It just won't happen. You have to trust me and everyone else who knows you on that, okay?"

She nods and we lay back down together. I think we both know that we won't be able to fall back asleep, but we try. At least, I see Tris trying, even though we know it won't work.

PAGE BREAK TO 8AM~~~~~~~~
TOBIAS POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About ten minutes ago, Tris fell back asleep finally and I feel her relax against me.

I hear whispering come outside our door and then barely any noise as the door opens.

I see that they have air horns and whipped cream.

"No." I whisper.

The all look startled that I am awake and they turn towards me, Uriah about to spray the whipped cream.

"What! This is a tradition!" Uriah whines.

"She just fell back asleep. She was awake practically all night because of a nightmare and she still needs to rest. At twelve if we still aren't downstairs yet, then you can do it. But not until then." I whisper back.

They all nod in agreement, everyone covered in whipped cream, but Uriah.

He finally nods and walks over to my side of the bed.

He gives me a death glare and puts whipped cream on the top of my head like I am a sundae.

"What! Hey!" I whisper yell.

"Hey!" Uriah exclaims loudly.

Tris turns in her sleep and finds my hand that is supporting me sitting up and wraps her tiny hand around my big wrist.

"Ahhhhhhhh! The feels!" The girls scream.

"I want you to lick the whipped cream off your head." Uriah says.

"Are you kidding me! My tongue can't reach up there!" I whisper putting a finger to my lips trying to shush everybody.

"Fine then I will do it." Uriah says and licks the top of my head.

"Uriah!" I exclaim.

"Mmmmm. Good whipped cream." Uriah says in satisfaction.

"The whipped cream expired a week ago Uriah." Marlene says with a smirk on her face.

"What!" Uriah yells and begins scrubbing his tongue with his hands.

"Tobias." Tris moans quietly.

I quickly stiffen and look around to see if anyone heard it.

I relax because everyone is busy taking pictures and videos of Uriah who is seriously freaked out.

"I'm going to be on the bowl for months!" Uriah yells.

Tris's eyes flutter open and she looks around at everything happening.

She looks at me and all of a sudden gets a devious grin on her face.

"What." I ask looking around.

"Let's sneak out of here and see if they notice. And I like the whipped cream on your head." Tris whispers with a smirk.

"Good idea." I answer with an answering smirk.

I follow Tris as she army crawls the under the bed and quickly to the open door.

I follow her and we quickly jump up and start looking for a place to hide.

"Why don't we hide in the coat closet." I suggest beginning to walk to the end of the hallway.

"Uhhhh...... Why don't we hide in the attic or someone's bedroom." Tris says trying to change the place.

"Okay." I say and lead her to the attic. We climb up and close the door, knowing that they will find us soon.

"It's cold up here." Tris says shivering.

Here come near the padding it will be warmer." I suggest taking her hand in mine.

She nods and we sit down so close to each other we could be those connected twins.

"It's a little warmer over here." Tris decides sill shaking.

I look down at what I am wearing. A t-shirt and sweatpants. Tris is wearing the exact same thing.

"Do you want my shirt?" I ask her.

"... No that okay. Then you'll be cold." Tris says.

We begin to hear yelling. "Where'd the go! They were just here!"

We smirk at each other and we hear footsteps leading in every direction.

We hear a chorus of 'they aren't in he kitchen, garage, closet, bedrooms.'

"There's only one place left!" Zeke yells. "The attic!"

We hear running footsteps and I realize we need to get father away from the door.

"We need to get farther away from the door." I say standing up and pulling Tris up to.

We carefully run to the end of the attic and duck behind a big box.

"Where are they!" Uriah yells with whipped cream in his hand looking around the attic.

Everyone walks around looking for us until Christina finds us.

Tris puts a finger to her lips and Christina nods.

She walks away and we breathe a sigh of relief.

"They're over there hiding behind the box!" Christina yells.

Everyone runs at our spot and we start to run the other way. We are almost to the door when Tris screams and falls to the ground.

"Tris!" I yell looking back.

I see Lynn has a really big cane and it is around Tris's ankle.

"Four! Save yourself!" Tris yells dramatically.

I quickly run down the stairs and am about to run down the hallway when Marlene and Shauna come out of nowhere and push me up against the wall.

"You are so dead." They says evilly.

Everyone comes down from the attic and Tris is squirming in Uriah's hands with a gag over her mouth.

"Isn't that a little over the top?" I say giving him that 'really' look.

"What? No. I wanted to make it like it was real." Uriah says confused.

He puts Tris on the floor and puts a foot on her stomach in victory.

Zeke quickly undoes the gag and Tris starts yelling.

"Ewww! His foot! His foot is on me! Get it away! Get it away! It smells like cheese! Get it OFF!" Tris screams.

The whole group snickers as Tris grabs Uriah's foot, twists it, and pulls it up so he lands on his back. Hard.

"Owww. Trissypoo that really hurt." Uriah complains. 

"I thought I told you not to call me Trissypoo." Tris growls putting a finger in his face.

"But it really suits you. Trissy poo likes pink and unicorns and rainbows. And--" Uriah gets cut off by an unhappy Tris.

"Call me that again and you will not live to see another Dauntless cake in your life."

Uriah gasps and so does Zeke, Will, Peter, and me.

"Yep. That's right. I will take the cake away from Uriah and Uriah's friends if he doesn't stop calling me Trissy poo." Tris yells in victory.

"DAUNTLESS CAKE!" Zeke screams like a two year old girl running down the stairs to the kitchen.

We all follow him and then what do we do? We eat.

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

It's two o'clock and everyone has left, but Tobias and I and Uriah and Zeke because it's there house. You would think they would know that by now.

But they don't.

When everyone else was leaving they picked up what was left of the cake and said 'bye guys! We'll see you tomorrow when we stop by for a surprise visit!'

They had walked out and started looking for their car, which they didn't see because it was in the garage.

"SOMEBODY STOLE MY CAR!" Zeke yelled.

"The car is in the garage. Because you live here." I said slowly trying to make their stupid brains understand me.

"You must have stolen our car!" Uriah accused.

"You live here!" Tobias said with his head in his hands.

"No we don't. I think we would know if we lived here." Zeke said with sass.

"Are you kidding me." I grumbled.

"Wait.... I recognize that plant, and the kitchen, and the stairs, and the living room! Uriah they stole our house!" Zeke yelled.

"I'm done!" I had yelled throwing my hands up in the air.

"Wait. How did you steal our house overnight?" Uriah questioned.

"We didn't!" Tobias yelled.

"Uri... Bro. We live here. I remember this place exactly." Zeke says looking around.

"Let's go." Tobias had said grabbing my hand.

"Wait! Can you help us clean up?" Uriah asked smiling hopefully.

"Why not." I had said.

We cleaned up and now we were laying around on their couch.

"Elmo is real. He isn't a puppet!" Uriah screams at Zeke.

"You can see the strings! He is fake!" Zeke yells back.

I am just listening to the conversation when I get a text.

C- hey, I figured out a way for you to undo that really complicated lock, and put it back in place so Marcus won't be able to know.

I glance up to see if anyone is watching me, which they aren't.

T- how?

C- you aren't going to like it.

T- what?!

C- you would need to tell Will. He would probably be able to get out of it in a matter of seconds.

T- no.

C- please.

T- no. And that is final.

C- tris!!!! He can undo it. Then you won't have to climb the tree!

I contemplate that for a second. She has a point. But no. I am not letting another person know.

T- maybe. I'll think about it. But don't tell him please!

C- okay!

"Tris. Mom wants us home. Are you ready?" Tobias asks me.

"Yeah let's go. Bye guys."

"Bye!"

I walk out and Tobias asks me who I was texting. So nosy.

"It was Christina, she thinks that is Will looks at the lock then he will be able to open it. But I don't want him to know." I say with a sigh.

"How about we look at it again. If we can't figure it out, then we ask him."

I nod and just look out the window the rest of the ride the bumps slowly lulling me asleep.

HOW WAS THAT! SO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

AS ALWAYS VOTE, COMMENT, AND BE AWESOME!
