Divergent High

Slapping A Butthole

Tris POV

I sit in my bike and gasp. I look at Tobias. He didn't do what I told him to do. I told him to call me, that I'd help him. I sigh. "Why didn't you call me, Tobias?" I almost whisper. He shakes his head.

"I couldn't let you get into trouble." He says. I nod. He is so nice, but I could've helped him.

"I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow at school." I say and head to my house.

I park my bike on the driveway and take my headphones out. I was listening to 'I'm a Disaster' by Ghost Town. I love that band, they are amazing. I walk to the porch when I see a shadow. I look and there is my mom with her crossed arms, and mad face. Crap. I look at my watch and it reads 10:28pm. My curfew is at 10:00pm and I'm here twenty eight minutes later. She is gonna kill me. She grabs my arm hard and I wince. She drags me to my room and throws me there. She locks the door from the outside. I hear murmurs from downstairs and I hear footsteps getting closer.

I look at my arm and it has my mother's fingernails marked. I get up. The pressure she did when she threw me on my room caused me to collapse. I sit on my bed and wait for someone to come and lecture me.

I'm already behind my covers laying down and thinking when the door opens. There's my mom. She sits in the bed and looks at me sadly. "I'm sorry." She looks down and I nod. Simply because, I can't believe that she would do such a thing. But, I believe she had a reason to. That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt if it's for a good reason. Tobias doesn't deserve it.

My mother always have been so sweet and she has never hurt me or my brother, Caleb.

There's an awkward silence until she finally says something. "Were you with him?" She asks and looks at me seriously. Him? She must mean Tobias. I can't tell her. No. I mean, I didn't plan to. I look at her and shake my head. I lie too easily and, that's not a good thing. She nods and kisses my forehead. She stands up and leaves the room.

I start thinking about Tobias. He is such a nice person, yet he is so mistreated. I can't believe a guy like him, likes a girl like me.

I've never had a boyfriend before. In my previous neighborhood, there was this guy, Robert, he was really nice but, he was too peaceful. I think he is in Amity High.

*three days later*
I wake up from a deep sleep panting and sweating. I dreamt I was in a chair tied up and I had to watch Marcus beat my parents, Caleb, and Tobias and I couldn't close my eyes. It was terrible. It should've been me.

I look at my clock and it's 7:40am. My alarm is on 7:50am. I take the covers off off my body and I stand up. I turn off my alarm and head to the shower.

When I finish showering, I go to my room. I put on a black bra and some black panties. I look through my drawers and put on an over-sized flannel black and red long-sleeved shirt, some knee-length black pantyhose with holes in them, black high-waisted shorts and my red combat boots. I put my hair up in a high ponytail and put on a black beanie that says: 'Saving People. Hunting Things' from the Supernatural merchandise in Hot Topic.

I put my laptop in my bag and head downstairs. There's no one in the living room. I look around and see a plate with some strawberries and cereal next to a note that says:

"Dear, Beatrice

It's your mother. My mother started feeling bad and ended up in the hospital and I am going to stay over here for a week, or so. Caleb has piano practice from 7am to 9am, so you won't see him. Make sure that he is making his chores if he didn't see the note I left him on his room. I made you this plate this morning. I'll be back soon. Don't make any parties!
