The Promise:Time and Death

Chapter 13

Tris remembered the gun that was in his nightstand drawer. Running to the room and opening the drawer Tris was happy to see the gun there like before. Grabbing it she put it on her side,grabbed her knife , phone and ran out the door shutting and locking it. In her car she pulled up her brother's location and followed it until she saw him. After 15 minutes she was behind his car, checking the time it was only 3:00 " So i have to see what he was doing for those 6 hours" Tris thought out loud. Once Will left he needed to clear his head because he had so many emotions that he couldn't express at that point so he decided to take a drive. He wasn't mad at Tris, he was mad at himself for not being there like he used to, for keeping secrets. He wanted to tell her everything but he was scared of how she might react and how she would see her older brother once she knew. All he wanted was to give her the best life and protect her but she wasn't a little kid anymore and she was capable of doing more things then he gave her credit for. So he made a decision to tell her once he gets back home and they can talk while eating.But things don't happen how they are supposed to. Sometimes life has different plans and time doesn't make it easier. Will drove to a bar and he sat down waiting for his best friend to show. And just like that only seconds later Oliver came and sat next to Will with a fake smile that went unnoticed by Will. Drinking only soda Will watched as Oliver drank beer instead, they talked for hours but then it was time for Will to leave because he promised Tris that they will watch a movie together so he got up, paid his tab and said goodbye to Oliver. Getting in his car and pulling off he checked the time and it was 7:30 and he wouldn't get home until 10 after 8 so he began his journey.Once Will parked at the bar Tris parked a few cars down so she wouldn't be sighted.She saw him get out and head inside but then seconds later she saw the backstabbing "best friend" going in afterwards. Knowing that it will be a while she took her phone out and started strolling through Instagram. After she was finished with Instagram she looked up and seen that he was still there so she decided to go through her photos.Strolling through her photos she came across a picture she hasn't seen in a while, it was a picture of her brother, her , and her mom and dad back when everything was good. Tris's and Will's mom ran away because she cared about drugs more than being a good mother so she left them for a life full of drugs.Their dad stayed for a good 2 years after but then he began to blame Will and Tris for their mom leaving. Will had to start taking care of Tris when she was five because their dad was too busy trying to get with women then to take care of his kids. Not to mention the fact that he never loved them anyhow. After their father left they went into foster care. Everyone wanted Tris since she was still pretty young but Will was a teenager so it was harder for him. Not to mention the fact that they didn't want to be separated. But the ones who wanted to foster the two, didn't treat them right and the ones who did still gave them back. Everyone in their lives left and no one loved them but in a way they were at peace with it because they had each other. But then Will became 18 and had to leave which meant Tris had to stay. Will left, got a job, and later found an apartment then filed for adoption. He visited Tris when he could but he was working hard so they could be together. And it worked because a year later he was approved. Thinking about this Tris felt for her dog tags that were placed around her neck.
" Happy Birthday Bubbles" Will said cheerfully and then ruffled her hair " WILLY I just fixed my hair" Tris said pouting. Smiling at his little sister who just turned 12 " Bubbles let's go to the couch because I want to give you your present '' A jumping Tris quickly ran to the couch. With a small box in hand he gave it to her and Tris opened it taking out two dog tag necklaces that read : Even if time had different plans and paths for us, I promise I will never leave, But if I have to leave I promise that I will find my way back to you. After reading what it said, Tris' had tears coming down her face as she jumped up and hugged her brother who also had tears in his eyes. Tris thought about that memory and she remembered the promise they both made to each other.
