Second Chance

Chapter 14

              The truth is I have no idea what Four and I are. We are friends. But I don't know if there is anything more there. I do have feelings for him. But I don't know how he feels about me.

*Four's POV*

I watched the cars drive away. I know I should have gone with them. But I couldn't. I am not ready to enter that town just yet.

I went back into the compound of Dauntless. It was so quiet. It was weird for this place. Some say it is scary.

"Four." I heard. I looked up to see Max.

"Yes?" I asked him.

"Are you done with your grades and everything?" He asked me.

"Yes. Everything is on your desk." I told him. I then walked to my room. I went into it.

When I opened the door, I realized my room smelled like hers. It smells like Tris. She is going to be the death of me.

I then went to the closet and got my bag out. I started to pack a few things. It is time for my annual trip, that I take every break.

I then went back into the Pit. I was not leaving yet. In a few days, I will know I am good. I just walked it in thought.

"Penny, for your thought?" I heard. I turned to see the headmistress standing there.

"Headmistress, what may I help you with?" I asked him.

"Just want to see when you are leaving for your trip?" She asked me.

"In a few days. After I ensure Max and I are all good on the grades and everything." I told her.

"Okay. Where will you be stopping this time?" She asked me.

My trips are something different than an average trip. I just get on a bus and don't leave until I feel like it. Or if I have to.

"I don't know yet." I told her truthfully.

"Are you going to make a stop there?" She asked me.

"I might." I said.

"I think you should. Don't think I haven't realized you have changed since she came." She told me.

I just looked at her with a slight grin. I did change a little bit. It's just she brought a better person out of me.

"I know." I said.

"Four go. Max can take care of the rest. It's time for you to go." She told me.

I looked at her. She was right. I need to go. I just smiled at her and went to get my things. Max got this all. I need to be somewhere else right now. There is more critical than here.

I waited at my favorite stop for the bus. Around this time of year, with the holidays, the bus drivers went to pick me up so I could do my own vacation. I saw the dark grey bus rolling up to face me. I waved and walked around to the door. It opened, and a short, older woman sat at the wheel. She smiled at me and said,

"Sweet, you are here early. I cannot believe you are here. Lucky I came and checked today just in case."

"Yeah, Lucy, I got all my work done early, so I thought I would get the fun started." I told her.

She smiled, and I sat in my usual seat. It was right up front in the first row. I liked talking to the drivers. They were sweet and caring. Almost every driver knows me, and a few even know about my life. Lucy was one of the few lucky people who knew about my life. She was a sweet older woman who wanted to keep herself busy by having a job. It was only herself. She lost her husband at a young age, and they never had any kids. So, she packed everything up and became a bus driver.
