Chapter 16: “Does Tris know about what?”

As I walk down the hallway I see Bradley and Tristan in the living room arguing. “I’m not going to ask you again, did you sleep with her?” Tristan yells at Brad. Tristan's face was bright red and his fist was clenched so hard that you can see his veins popping out in his hand. “I didn’t sleep with her,” Brad yells back. “Can you guys shut up, it’s early in the morning” I yell at both of them. As soon as Tristan sees me he walks up to me and starts smelling me. “Why are you smelling me” I pushed him back. Tristan turns back to Brad and gives him a dirty look. “What?” Brad says confused. Tristan then turns back to me. “Did you sleep with him?” Tristan says in a calm tone. “Sleep with who?” I say in confusion while rubbing my eyes. “Don’t play dumb with me. Did you or did you not sleep with Brad” He yells. I know this is a serious moment but I couldn’t help but laugh. Did he seriously think I would sleep with Brad like for god sake he has a girlfriend. “I’m not playing, did you sleep with him” He yells again. “Yes I did” I say with a serious tone. “I knew it, I can smell his aftershave on you” Tristan yells. He then turns his attention to Bradley who's standing there in shock. “You lied to me,” he growls. “We slept together on the same bed but we didn’t have sex” I pipe up. Tristan then turns back to me. “What?” He says. “Calm down it’s because Andrea and Megan are here” I say with disgust. “Good morning” Megan says sweetly now appearing  in the living room followed by Andrea. “Good morning” Tristan says with confusion. “We have to go Joe’s downstairs” Brad pipes up. Tristan nods and races out the door. “You almost got me killed” he laughs. “Almost your lucky I’m being nice now get out” I push him towards the door. “When I come back-” He tries to say before I interrupt him. “You need to go before you get in trouble with Joe” I say, pushing him out the door frame. “Ok” He says as he runs to the elevator. Just as I was about to close the door it flew back open. “Wh-” I tried to say before he kissed me on the cheek. “Bye” He runs back to the elevator that’s just arrived and waves me goodbye. 

“He must really like you” Andrea says as I close the door. I didn’t have time for her games. “Yes as a friend” I walk past her. “Didn’t seem like it,” She continues. “Whatever” I roll my eyes. It is early in the morning and I don’t have time for her bs. “Does Tris know about…”She trails off. “Does Tris know about what?” I turn to face her. “Does he know about Bradley kissing you? I mean he seemed pretty upset at the thought of the two being more than friends” She says tracing her hand along the wall. “Just say what you want to say already” I fold my arms. “Like I said last night I need your help” she looks at me. “Why do you think I would help you?” I tilt my to the side. She must be on drugs if she thinks I’m helping her with anything. “Because you don’t I’ll tell Tris about what just happened and that night in your room” she says confidently. I couldn’t help but laugh. She was really trying to blackmail me like I couldn’t have her put in jail in less than 5 seconds. “I’m serious, I will tell him” she reassures me. “I need you to leave now” I say sternly. “First you have my father kick me out then you come to disturb my peace. Haven’t you done enough. For god sake you almost killed my mother” I yell. The room went quiet. “Get out or I’m calling the police now” I yell again. “Brad said-” she tries to finish but I cut her off. “I don’t give a flying Fu-” but I’m interrupted by a knock on the door. 

I open the door to see a man standing in the doorway. “Can we please talk?” he said with sadness in his voice. It wasn’t just any man it was my dad. I watch him look up and instantly get mad. “Why the hell are you here?” my dad says sternly. “I don’t know dad maybe because you kicked me out” I let the sarcasm roll off my tongue. “No not you sweetheart” he says quickly. “I'm talking about those two” He points to Megan and Andrea who I thought I left at the far end of the living room. “Please I’m sorry baby” Andrea pleads. “Your sorry” my father laughs. “You hit my wife and left her there in the car” my father yells. His wife? “I’m your wife” Andrea whines. “Marrying you was a mistake. I want a divorce” He shouts.  A mistake. I know his words weren’t directed to me but it hurt. “Dad, get out,” I say quietly. “What?” The three of them say in sync. “Matter of fact all of you get the hell out now” I yell. “Ariana-” my dad begins. “No get out now. The fact that all three of you have the nerve to come up in here is just pissing me off” I yell again. “Wait Ari I’m sorr-” He tries to speak before I cut him off again. “You're sorry you let your lunatic wife treat my garbage. You let her and Megan disrespect my mom or should I say your “wife” now” I use my fingers to make air quotes. “I’m tired of all three of you. When my mom got hit by you two lunatics where were you dad? Nowhere. You didn’t even come to see her or for god sake send her a damn card but all of a sudden she’s your wife” I laugh. The room goes quiet. “I need you all to get the hell out and never come here again or my mom won’t be the only one hanging on to her last breath” I yell. I watch Andrea and Megan disappear down the hallway to get their things. They both head out the front door with their head down from being ashamed. They should be ashamed. They left my mother there to die, imagine if someone didn’t find her in time. My dad stood there in place. “Ari I’m really sorry but please give me a chance” He says reaching out to grab my hand. “When you can pick me from a train station instead of leaving me to freeze to death and get my damn name right on the phone I’ll give you a chance. But that will never happen so get out” I yell. 

I watch the man I used to admire walk out the door. I know I was being a bit harsh but he deserved it along with Andrea and Megan. I slammed the door behind him. I wanted to cry but no tears came out. I ran to the kitchen to see if there was any ice cream. I open the freezer to reveal Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I take it out to see a frozen note on it. “I thought I would get you your favorite ice cream to make up for last night- Truce maker”.  He was really a charmer. I took the note and stuck it in my pocket. 

I was off today and now I was alone. My throat was hurting from all the yelling. I was tired from all the yelling so after my ice cream I decided I would take a nap. I had just fallen asleep until I heard the sound of someone banging. “I know you're in there. I can hear the tv. Open up the door”.  I rolled my eyes and went to open the door. I opened the door to see another person I didn’t like. Why was everyone I hated showing up?
