[Tris POV]

I wake up the next morning in a navy blue room with the words Fear God alone on one of the walls.

"Morning babe." A very raspy voice says.

"Where the hell am I?"

"You, my friend, are in my room."

"Oh." I say still a little confused.

"Breakfast?" He asks turning to face me.

"Uh no thanks, I don't usually eat breakfast."

"Okay that's cool."

"Four..."

"Tris?"

"Did we uh...I mean like...we didn't...did we?" I stutter, scared for the answer.

"No Tris, we did not have sex." He says with a serious, yet concerned face. I let out a breath I holding for no reason.

"Oh thank God."

"Am I really that bad?" He says with mock hurt.

"No Four, you're perfect."

"I know. But in all seriousness, how are you feeling?"

"Dirty, violated, discusted, nasty, angry, mad, confused, hurt, sad, the list goes on." I say trying to keep my tears back, but it doesn't work.

"Hey hey hey." He whispers. "C'mere." He pulls me into his strong torso, and I cry even harder. "What he did was unforgivable. And believe me, I will break every bone in his body. But we will get through it."

That's what you said last time, and look what happened.

"It's really my fault." He continues.

"Four n-"

"No Tris, if I hadn't practically forced you to go to that party non of this would have ever happened. And God, Tris, I am so sorry. I-I-I should've protected you, I should've said 'no, she's not going.' or something along those lines." He says sounding so sad and regretful.

"Hey, look at me." I tell Four, while stroking his hair behind his ear. "Please stop. Please stop blaming yourself. I made my own decision to go to the party, and it got a little out of hand. It's no one's fault, but J.P.'s and Lauren's."

"But I should've been there."

"Four quit it." I snap.

"Okay I'm sorry, it's just I care about you so much Tris, and the thought of you being hurt just makes me angry."

Okay that is like one of the sweetest things anyone's ever told me.

"Four." I barely croak out, smiling from ear to ear. "That's so sweet."

BANG BANG BANG!!

"I think someone's at the door." I say whiping my tears away.

"Uggghhh." He groans, kisses me on the forehead, gets up and leaves.

[Four POV]

I open the door to a really fresh looking Zeke.

"Hey man I went to Tris' house, but she wasn't there. Is she here?" Zeke says.

"Yeah she's here." I say opening the door wider so he can come in. "She's upstairs in my room, and no don't think we did anything 'cause we didn't."

"Aye man, I didn't say anything."

"Yeah, but you were thinking it."

"Whatever." He says going upstairs.

[Zeke POV]

I knock before entering her room.

"Hey Tris." I say walking slowly over to the bed.

"Oh hey Zeke." She says siting up.

"So here's the deal. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what happened to you last night."

"It's okay." She says.

"No Tris, it really isn't. It shouldn't have happened."

"Yeah well it did and we have to learn to move on."

"You know Tris, you're so tough and strong, brave even." I say.

[Tris POV]

I act tough, strong, and brave, but I'm really really scared.

[Zeke POV]

"Well you have to be all those things if you're gonna make it in this world." She says.

"Well I can't argue with that. Well I have to go, and clean up my house before my folks come home. I'm sorry about everything and I'll see you later."

"Okay, bye Zeke." She says as I leave the room.

[Monday: Tris POV]

"Hey, Four." I groan while plopping down next to him in first block.

"Hey ba- wow you look awful." He says.

"Shut up. So have you seen him?"

"No but the moment I do, I'm gonna lose my mind." He says.

"I give you my full consent."

"Okay, but I was gonna do it even if you didn't give me your consent."

"Yeah okay." Just as the words come out my mouth he walks through the door.

Before I can even turn around, Four has him up against a wall, literally choking him. Both of their faces are beet red, but for totally different reasons. Four's face is red because he is pissed to the max, J.P.'s face is red from the lack of oxygen reaching his bite sized brain.

Every time Four says, "huh" he slams him up against the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HUH?!"

"I-"

"YOU'RE SUCH A DOUCHE! YOU KNOW THAT?! HUH?! YOU NEARLY FUCKING RAPED MY GIRLFRIEND! YOU'RE SUCH A PUNK! YOU KNOW THAT?! HUH?! HUH?!" He says through clenched teeth.

Finally someone, mor like some people, had to pry Four off of the bastard.

J.P. stands there trying to catch his breath. Ultimately he does. And when he does he says something.

"Geez Four, why you so mad? It's not like you did anything to stop her from going with me. You didn't protect her or anything. Maybe you're just as punk as I am."

He crossed the line.

Somehow Four pulls away, and basically flies over to where J.P. is and tackles him to the floor. Then starts to punch the shit out of him.

Then the teacher walks in.

She gasps, then says, "FOUR! JEROME! IN THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE! NOW!"
