Dauntless High

Chapter 33: Suprises and Jailbreaks

It's POSITIVE.

I run out and I can hear Chris shouting. Suddenly I'm numb. Tobias doesn't want to have a kid, I know it, he's going to leave me. He's famous and his mom can get him whatever he wants. He doesn't need me. He doesn't want me.

Time lapse

I went back to my apartment an hour later, Tobias should be home from the meeting by now. When I walk in I see him playing with a gun, looking at the bullets, and polishing it.

"Hey." I say and stand there awkwardly.
"Hey, Chris told us you were feeling better." he says looking up.
"Yeah um can I talk to you about something." I say.

"Shoot." he says.
"Okay so..." I start.
"Oh my mom says she needs you to meet her in the great hall to talk about responsibilities, I don't know." he interrupts.
"Responsibilities?" I repeat.

"Yeah she says you don't have enough responsibilities and should start taking things more seriously." I stare at him in disbelief.
"And do you agree with her?" I say angrily.
"Well I think everybody should have responsibilities here."

"And what's yours, polishing guns!?" I say.
"HEY, at least I take things seriously!" He says.
"And I don't!? I devoted the last two years of my life to this place and suddenly I don't take it seriously!?" I yell.

"You just aren't as responsible as you used to be!"
"I'm more responsible than you'll ever be!" I shout.
"I AM RESPONSIBLE!" He shouts.
"AND IM PREGNANT!" I scream.

All the emotion in his face leaves. I don't know why I said it, I didn't mean to at all, it just slipped out. He looks so shocked I can't even read his emotion. I feel tears rolling down my face and can't take it anymore.

So I do the only thing I'm good at, run. I run away, run away from my problems, husband, fame, war, and friends. I need to run and I need to hide. I don't know why but I do. I can't look Tobias in the eyes the same way.

I run to the chasm and hide in the corner that connects the wall to the railing right behind a door. I sit there for about ten minutes then I here running footsteps.

"TRIS!" The voice shouts and its Four.
"TRIS, TRIS!" The voice fades away. He'll never find me here, no one has and no one will.

After about an hour I start to get tired and close my eyes.

Time Lapse

I wake to the sound of crashing water in the chasm. I slept behind a door. I check my phone and it's 9:00 pm. I've slept for four hours. I should probably find Four.

I get up and start walking hoping not to see Chris cause she knows about the baby. I walk back to the house and walk in. I check the kitchen then the bedroom. No one.

Then I check the family room. There lies Four. Passed out with a couple beer bottles around him and one in his hand. I feel tears welling in my eyes.

Then the door opens revealing Zeke.
"Tris we've been looking everywhere for you, what happened Four wouldn't tell us?" He says.
"Of course he didn't." I say with tears falling down my cheeks.

Then Zeke looks behind me at Four.
"We looked for you for three hours." he tries to explain but I just walk past him and out of the house.
"Tris!" He yells but I ignore him.

I walk to the huge garage where everyone keeps their cars. Then I remember something. Caleb. He's in prison and soon to be executed.

I stop in my tracks and run back. Luckily the garage and prison are almost right next to each other. I go past guards who barely notice me. Then I go to where Caleb is.
