Divergent High

Ch.4

Fours POV

"Where's Four?" Tris asks. She needs me? What for?

Christina nods and I switch place with her and Will, I think that's his name. I lean over her and she whispers, "Its not your fault." A smile creeps across my face. She doesn't blame me. So maybe not everyone gets hurt from me. I've never heard more perfect words.

I sit back down while everyone talks to her. She smiles happily at everyone. I'm so surprised at how well she's taken this, knowing she could've died. I wince at the knowledge.

A nurse brings in a gigantic rolling cart with food for apparently everyone. There is chicken with gravy on top, stuffing, and peas.

Christina grabs a plate and cuts up the food, feeding it to Tris. I get mine last, making sure everyone has some. The chicken is juicy but the stuffing is horrible, in all honesty.

Then Zeke interrupts our peaceful silence. "Tris where is the rest of your family?"

She whispers, "Dead"

My throat swells up. Did her dad KILL her family?

"I don't want to stay awake to think about it." she says, and it signals us. We all walk out and I head home. I hope she can go back to school soon.

When I get back Mom is waiting in the living room. "Young man! Where were you?" She says, half yelling. I frown. This is the last thing I need. "Mom Tris was in the hospital! That is literally the only reason I would even be late. I'm really stressed, just don't worry please." I grunt and run upstairs to lay down.

I pull out my phone and get on Instagram, I am really bored. I see the first thing is a selfie with Tris and Christina, Tris has a thumbs up and Christina is kissing her cheek. (In a friend way not lesbian)

I am the first like. I keep scrolling and notice it's mostly support from people who know Tris and what happened. Well, not all of it. I end up going to Facebook and I drift off, the thoughts of Tris on my mind.

Tris' POV

When everyone else leaves Christina hands me my phone and we post on Instagram. She kisses my cheek and I give a small thumbs up, a grin plastered across my face. Four is our first like.

"So girly.How you feeling?" Chris asks. "Fine, just like a ceramic pot went through my skull." I say sarcastically.She laughs really hard. "Well, your head is probably fine, just a couple shards of glass can't hurt the almighty Tris Prior."

I laugh but it sends a rush of pain to my skull, and I click the little morphine button.

"Girls, I think it's time she got some sleep, and us too. It's been a long day." Will interrupts. We nod and Christina sleeps in the recliner they brought in and Will sleeps on the couch.

When I turn my head as they turn off the lights, I fall instantly to sleep.

When I wake trays are ready, piping hot food. Christina is already grabbing mine and started cutting it up. "Afternoon Sleepyhead" she says. "Isn't it morning?" I croak. "It's 2:00 in the afternoon Tris. You slept for eighteen hours straight." she laughs.

I've never slept that much. "Where's Will?" I ask, searching around for him. "School. I get time off to help take care of you. And by the way, I should tell you that you are going to live with Four now. Your father and brother are in prison in Los Angeles. You don't need to worry anymore."

I almost cry as a wave of relief rushes over me. I'm free.

Fours POV

During lunch I get a call from some foster care place.
"Is this Tobias Eaton?"
"I go by Four, and yes."
"We were looking around, and found your family to be best suited for Tris Prior to live in." My eyes widen with joy.
"We have consulted your mother and she agreed. We just have to notify you that when she is discharged from the hospital."
"That's fine. Thank you."
"Goodbye."
"Bye"

"What was that about?" Zeke asks. "Tris is going to live with my mom and me. Cause you guys are all slobs." I say. Marlene makes a pouty face and Lynn scowls. I chuckle, putting my hands up in surrender. I don't regret my choice of friends at this school.

"Well, I think that to get our minds off Tris' horrible life, we have a truth or Dare off at my place." Uriah says. We all text our parents and get ok's.

This night is going to be awesome. Well, as awesome as it can be without Tris.
