Divergent High

Chapter 36

I checked my phone for the 100th time.

2:59. Only seven minutes until Christina would get out of her classes, as drive to my house. I didn't want to tell her what was troubling me. The reasons were childish and just stupid.

I decided to make a snack for us both when she arrives, so I exit my room and head for the kitchen.

The fridge was low on food, but enough to supply me for another week.

All right... I need Milk, Yogurt, Apples, Hotdogs, Strawberry milk, Sugar, Brown Sugar, whole-wheat bread.... ugh, I need everything.

I start to make a mental list, when I hear knocking on my door. My eyes shift towards the clock. 3:05.

Still one minute until classes are over, and there's the traffic. I wonder why she's here early?

I open the door, an my breath halts when I see who's standing in the doorway.

"Tobias. Please, come in." I say, gaining air back into my system. He smiles at me and walks inside. Tobias sits on the couch and makes himself comfortable.

"Thank you." he smiles brighter. I go back into the kitchen. Would Chrissy want a salad? Maybe a pizza...

"Tris? Did you hear me." Tobais calls from the other room. I snap back to reality and tilt my head on the door way to see him. "Uh, no. Can you repeat what you said?"

I hear him let out a small chuckle before continuing. "I asked if you were okay. You left early, I just wanted to make sure you're okay. And I have another thing to ask."

I pull a pepperoni pizza out of the freezer, and set it on the counter. "I'm fine. What else is it that you needed to ask?" God, he's only been here a few minutes and he's already annoying me.

Doesn't he know how much he hurt me being with that slut?

"I was wondering if you would be okay with doing a baby project with me... It's only for two weeks long and you're the only one I know who would be good with kids."

I sigh, and start to prep the oven.

"Why don't you just ask Lynn." I ask coldly.

"Why would I ask her?" His voice comes closer, and I notice he's standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

"Just asking."

"Look, Tris. If this is about the movies-"

I cut him off. "I don't want to talk about it. You hurt me Tobias. I thought I could always count on you to be the one to bring me up. I thought I could trust you, forever and always. But you're just like every other guy out here! Do I look like another fucking bootycall? How many others have you 'taken to the movies' or was Lynn your first victim? And don't get me started on how many times I've seen Ruth state at you during algebra. I know you two used to have a 'thing' and it's obvious she's not over you! Why don't you go do the baby project with her, Hm?" I shove the pizza angrily in the oven, a scowl growing on my face.

Tobias looks stunned for a moment, then walks towards me slowly. He grabs my hands, and urges me towards him.

"Tris, I'm sorry, but you are so fucking wrong." He smiles before pulling me in for a kiss. My eyes widen, shocked by his reply.

What shocks me more is that I start to kiss him.

"Beatrice." he says against my mouth. "You never gave me the chance to explain why I went on that date with her. Honestly, I wouldn't of gone if it wash't for the fact that Lynn knew one of my biggest secrets."

"Why?" I ask, against his chest.

"Why what?" he replies, sounding confused. I look up at him, my eyes beginning to water.

"Why couldn't you just tell me? Is a secret that more important then the say so 'love of your life?'"

He shakes his head, his dark chocolate eyes staring into mine. "It'll have to wait until another day, Tris. When I'm ready to tell you. When Lynn found out it was a complete accident."

I squeeze Tobias closer to me, making sure he doesn't slip out of my grip. "Tobias?"

"Yes, Tris?"

I smile and lean in close to his mouth. "Please... never hurt me again, okay? Can we promise to be one-hundred percent honest with each other for now on?"

He smiles, and pulls me even closer. "If it means keeping you, then anything for you, my love."

and we kiss.
---------------------------
Christina never showed up.

I was starting to get worried. I rapidly kept texting her, waiting for a response. Tobias was perched on my couch, trying to get ahold of Will.

"It's no use." I say, sighing. "They're not picking up."

I flip next to Tobias and put my head into my heads, and groan. There's something wrong. Christina never doesn't reply back, no matter what she's doing. And Will is constantly on his phone...

Tobias wraps his arms around my shoulders and pulls me into him.

"Hey, don't worry. I'm sure their probably at the hospital getting a check up on the baby. I heard some hospitals don't allow phones in the rooms because it messes up the machines."

I stare blankly at the TV that was playing America's Next Top Model. I used to watch this show with my friend Hazel before moving. I never knew anyone's name, or why they liked to be forced to wear dresses, but I went along with it anyway.

"Yeah, sure." I mumble.

~Two Hours Pass~

It's 5:30 and Christina not Will have picked up. Tobias was currently on the phone with Zeke, trying to see what he knew about this.

"Are you fucking serious?" I hear t
Tobias quietly speak. "Oh my god..."

"What?" I ask, trying to urge information out of him. He holds a finger Infront of my face and continues to talk.

"Do they want visitors? .......Alright, we can meet up around 6 then and visit? See ta around bro."

Tobias hangs up with phone, and sighs relieved. I noticed that he sat on the couch uncomfortably.

"Is something wrong? Where are they? What did Zeke tell you?"

Tobias shakes his head slowly. "Christina she's.... she's..." he starts choking on his words. Is Tobias Eaton... crying?

"She's what? what happened Tobias?"

"Christina was involved in some kind of accident. Apparently two people came to her house with bats and beat the living shit out of her. She.... she had a miscarriage."

My mind tries to process this new information, but it just doesn't make sense. Who? Why?

Then, my brain clicks. There is only two people Who are evil enough to do this, two people who have hated me since is shown up to this school.

Peter and Cara.
