Born Dauntless

Overprotective

Recap:

He lands on top of me and we both laugh. He stares at me for a few minutes and when I start to feel awkward I say, "What?"

"It's just that... You're so beautiful." He says silently and leans closer and...

Tris Pov

He leans closer and his lips touch mine. They instantly come off as we hear running getting closer to where we are. Four gets off of me and stands up. He then helps me up and Zeke, Uriah and the rest of the gang come.

"Did you knock her down?" Zeke asks angrily and starts walking toward Four. "Did you hurt her?"

"Zeke he-" I start to say but Zeke interrupts me and shoves a Four against the nearest wall. Uriah comes to my side and puts his arm around me protectively not letting me move.

"If you ever hurt her again I swear I will kill you."

"Zeke!" I yell and he looks over at me. "He didn't do anything! I scared him by jumping on his back and he fell. It was my fault, and I'm not hurt."

Zeke then backs up from Four, apologizes and comes over and hugs me and I feel Uriah do too.

"I'm sorry Tris."

"It's ok." I say and look under Zeke's arm to see Four staring down.

Why would he kiss me? I'm 15 and he's 17. There are pretty girls his age he could like. But me? Doesn't make any sense.

We head back to the cafeteria with Zeke and Uriah on both sides of me and the rest of the gang in front of us. We are talking about random stuff and laughing till we enter the cafeteria. It's oddly quiet and I hear whispers every now and then. We go get food and sit down and try to figure out what's happening.

"Apparently the train crashed. I think I heard it was the one that came here at 5:30. I also heard there were no survivors." Marlene says and looks down. I immediately look at Uriah and Zeke across from me and realize something. Mom told us this morning that she was going to the hub to get something's for us. We don't know if she's back yet.

I run as fast as I can out of there and toward our apartment. I can hear Zeke and Uriah running behind me and Zeke mumbling to himself.

I go through the door and immediately start looking for my mom.

"Mom!" I yell and search every room but I can't find her.

I run back downstairs and see Zeke and Uriah looking at something.

"What is that?" I ask and look. It's a note from my mom.

Hey guys so if I'm not back by the time you get here I am at the hub. I took the 5:30 train there and should be back before 9. Love you!-Mom

I drop the note and slump to my knees. Is she really gone?

Uriah and Zeke come down to me also and we all are crying in a tight ball, me in the middle.

We cry silently together until Zeke speaks up.

"I promise. I promise that I will keep you both safe. I'm the oldest so it is my responsibility to take care of both of you now. I love you both a lot and will make sure you are safe your whole life."

"I love you Zekey." I say and hug him tighter. "I love you too Uriah." And hug him tighter.

"I love you guys." Uriah says and hugs us tighter.

After about 10 minutes we hear the door handle wobble and the gang telling us to open up and asking what's wrong. Apparently Zeke locked the door so they can't get in.

Zeke picks me up and takes me to my room and puts me in my bed and kisses my forehead and Uriah comes in and Zeke leaves. The lights go out and I fall asleep crying.

Zeke's POV (because why not. 😊)

I set Tris in bed and then tell Uriah he should go to bed too and I close their door and go downstairs. It's been an hour since the gang came and their still outside. I wipe my tears away and unlock the door and open it.

"Zeke!" They all yell.

"Shhhh. Tris and Uriah are asleep." I say looking at the time and notice it's 1 in the morning.

"What happened?" Four asks.

I lead them inside and grab the note from the floor and give it to them.

Once they read they all have sympathetic looks on their faces. They all know that our dad died when I was one so Uriah and Tris never even got to know him. Mom was the only parent they had.

After a while they all leave and I decide I should go to bed. My last though before I drift off is how I will do anything to protect the twins.
