Dauntless High

Chapter 20: Home?

I sit on my coach with the girls watching Red Dawn. Chis Hemsworth just died in the movie and all the girls excluding Lynn and I are crying. I loved this movie, it reminded me of what we're doing. But it hurt me to watch it, Chris Hemsworth's eyes reminded me of Four.

I turn off the tv, "Hey!" Everyone shouts.
"There's a new guy, we should go say hi." I say and walk out of the room.
"This is going to be awesome," Christina says, "We were the last people that joined, now we won't be the new people."
"Actually he's a spy from Europe, he's the one that delivered the news." I say.

TIME LAPSE

We walk into the cafeteria, "Where's the European?" I ask a random guy and he points to a table with 5 people sitting it.
"Thanks." I say and walk towards it.
When I get closer I stop in my tracks and so do everyone else.

The Europeans turn around and suddenly I can't breathe. I look at everyone around me and they are all smiling even Lynn.
"Two years." Will says.
"That's a long time." Christina says and takes a step forward.

Everyone runs to there boyfriends and Lynn gives Al a hug. (Which is extremely rare.) Everybody but me. Four gets up and stands face to face with me. We don't say anything I just stare into his deep blue eyes and drowned in them.

He takes a step closer so we are an inch apart, and then I remember he left me. So I run, I run faster than I ever thought I could leaving Four behind, my friends behind, my life behind. I keep running till I run into someone Evelyn. With one look she knows who I saw and she starts running in the opposite direction as me.

I run into the my dorm and see the tv is on. Red dawn is on and it's at the part were they leave a guy behind because he had a tracking devise on him. I always cry at this part, and I am crying, not because of the movie but because of Four.

Someone stands up who was sitting on the couch and I see his eyes again.
"I see you've found you're way around." he says.
"Two years, and that's the first thing you say to me?" I ask.
"I wrote." He says.
"You wrote," I repeat "Yes, because writing will make up for leaving me behind!" I say.

"You could've came with me!" He says walking towards me.
"No, I couldn't, my home is here and my family is here!" I say almost loosening my temper.
"Your family?" He laughs.
"I get to see them every month, I would never get to see them if I came with you!" I retort.

"You could've flown here, you have enough money!" He says.
"Then the Erudite would find me!" I say, "They don't know I'm Andrew Prior's daughter, NO ONE KNOWS not even the media!"

"The fricken Erudite won't know!" He shouts.
"MY LAST NAME IS PRIOR!" I scream. He stares at me his deep blue eyes full anger.
"I'm surprised they haven't found out yet." I murmur.
"And if they do find out? You'll be just as safe as you are now!" He yells.

"YOURE RIGHT IM NOT SAFE AND I NEVER WILL BE THANKS TO YOU!" I scream at the top of my lungs with tears streaming down my face. His eyes first showing anger show a flash of pain in them. But turn right back to anger, I've never seen Four this angry before, then I remember that look. The look I saw Marcus give Four when he whipped him with his belt. Could Four be turning into Marcus?

He grabs his coat and leaves without another word. I sit on the couch thinking.

Four could never be Marcus.
He may look like him but he doesn't hold in all his anger then let it out on one person. Four is to kind to be like him. To loving and compassionate.
Wait what am I thinking Four left me. He isn't loving, kind, or passionate.

My thoughts are disturbed by a knock on the door.
"Come in." I say wiping away the tears. With that all the guys come in and hug me. Uriah gives me a hug and for once looks serious he pulls back and looks me in the eyes and smiles then hugs me again. This is pretty much what every hug was like. We missed each other so much.

So of us were even holding back tears just seeing each other.
"It's so good to be home." Zeke says.
