Divergent High

Chapter 26

I didn't know where I was walking to, but I just needed to clear my head from what was going on. It wasn't safe of me to go out, after what happened, but I don't care anymore.

I take a few turns here in there until I finally reach the exit of the station, and leave.

I walk down the sidewalk, kicking a pebble along with it. The thoughts of Caleb swirled inside my mind, and they wouldn't go away.

After walking for what seemed hours, I look at my surroundings. I've never been in this part of town before. There was an Old Saloon Bar with a few bikes parked in front of it. A couple of biker dudes say outside talking. When they notice me walking, they start whistling, which makes me pick up the pace.

I wanted to go home, but I left my phone with Tobias, and had no money to get a taxi. My cheeks started feeling wet when I place my hand on it.

Damn it, Tris, why are you so stupid?

Tobias starts forming into my head. Oh, Tobias. He must be worried sick about me by now. I didn't know it would take me this long to feel better.

As I'm looking at the dimming sun, hands grab around my waist and mouth, pulling me into an alley way. I struggle to get free, but I was exhausted from walking.

"Hello, Tris." Eric.

"What do you want Eric?" I whisper, struggling to get loose from his type grip.

"I want you."

I look at him with confusion. "Eric, I all ready told you no. I have Tobias. I love him, and not you. Please leave me alone!" I screamed the last part. I bring my knee up to kick him in the junk, making him pull us both to the ground.

"You sure are a fighter, Tris. I wonder what your brother would think of this mindless activity." Eric says, raising his eyebrows as a black figure from behind him appears.

"Why hello, sister." Caleb says promptly. "How are you."

I roll my eyes. "I'm great! I love being tied up against my will with two guys I hate to death currently, how are you." I say the last part snidely, and Caleb smacks his hand across my face. I wince, the pain starting to feel in my face.

"Now isn't the time for games, Beatrice. Listen close, and listen carefully." He says, darting his eyes at me.

"If you haven't figured out by now, I was the one who killed our parents."

I roll my eyes, but make sure to keep my comment to myself, skipping another slapping.

"Well, there is a reason behind all of this, Beatrice! You see, mother and father dawned on you too much. You think they ever thought about their little boy when a new kid came along? Hell. No. I was rejected for most of my childhood. Then, when you were older mom and dad got jobs, so for the full rest of my childhood I was away from them. You see, this pissed me off, Beatrice. Obviously we were never going to bond in the first place, so why have them?"

He smiles wickedly, almost making me vomit.

"And now, here we have you little Trissy. Although, I have decided to spare your life."

My eyes grow big, full of happiness.

"Caleb..." I whisper.

"The cops would notice more OTO me if you died as well. We can't have that! All I ask is one thing."

"What?" I asked, feeling anxious about the question.

"You clear my name from all of this, and give me 70,000$ so I can move away from this stupid fucking country."

"70,000$? That's like the cost of the house!" I argued.

"Okay, so then I kill you now and tell your love pity boyfriend you couldn't take him anymore, how does that sound?"

I shake my head no, an he smiles. "Good, now take this." He holds out two medium sized pills.

"Why..."

"Do it, now." And he practically shoves them down my throat. Not even seconds later, the room becomes dizzy, and I collapsed on the floor.

~~~~~~~~~
My head was pounding, as I flutter my eyes. I can see sunlight flow in. Was it all a dream?

When I tried to move, increasing pains started to happen in my 'private' areas. I bite my lip to hold a scream. "What the..."

When I remove the blankets, I was completely naked. I screamed, pulling the blankets back over me. Tears flooded my eyes, and I spot a note on my bedside table.

'Tris! You're awake! I'm here to inform you that Eric and I are gone, we have left for England, but we will be back soon. I'm not done with you yet.
Xoxo, Caleb. Ps, Eric used a condom, you're safe ;)'

I crumbled the letter in my hand, and start crying more intensely. I was drugged and raped... By ERIC.

A few minutes late I'm in shorts and a tank top, still crying. I hear footsteps, and tense up at the sound of them. Are they back for more?

My heart pounds when opening the door, is none other then Tobias and Christina. They were okay. I'm okay. We're okay.
