Divergent: The Outsider 2

|Chapter 7|

I slowly wake up, relishing the feeling that I'm getting married Today. I don't know if it's nerves or excitement, but it's something. Something. . . indescribable.

I look to see my self, and how I am positioned in this huge bed. I'm at the top with the covers pulled over me. I'm in the middle of Christina and Shauna. Marlene and Lynn also at the top but more of the edge.

I look at the time and see that it's around six in the morning, the wedding doesn't start until one and we need to be up by nine or so.

I carefully slip out from my friends, dog pile. I start walking towards the balcony while thinking of Tobias.

I miss him so much.

Words can't describe Tobias and I's relationship. It's loving, but funny. It's so many attributes that the list would go on and on.

I sit down on the pull out chair, looking out towards the beautiful orange sky. The sun is coming up making it a beautiful mixture of colors.

The wind is perfect, breezing through my hair. I wonder if Tobias is looking out towards the same sky I am right now.

I just can't wait to fully call him my husband. Time is ticking.

Eventually I fell asleep on the patio but more closer to the door, so I had shade. Wouldn't want to have sunburn on my wedding day.

I hear the doors open signaling someone else is on the patio with me.

I slowly open my eyes not knowing what to expect, I look over and I see Lynn sitting there looking towards the sky too.

"Beautiful isn't it." Lynn comments without turning to give me a glance.

"Yeah." I agree, sitting up. Now that the sun is fully up, there are white puffy clouds and the same great breeze.

This is the ideal wedding weather.

"You know, Tris, we might have not started out in the best of relationships. Being quiet, still feeling each other's personalities, but, I'm so glad that I met you and the girls. I might not show it but I sure as hell feel it.

I enjoy all of our best friend moments, and things like that. I-I guess what I'm try to say. . . on a sincere note is, I love you Tris. Of course as a friend, but I love you like I love Shauna. You guys are basically my sisters in crime. If your parents don't come today, just know that your true family is here." She says bringing tears to my eyes.

"I will try to do anything for you guys. So, on an ending, congratulations. I'm proud of you, seeing you from where you started to where you are now is a prepossessing sight. And, I hope you have a good, well-dreamed, fairytale wedding." She says standing up holding her arms out to give me a hug which I accept.

Never knew Lynn to be so sentimental.

I embrace her, letting her know my emotions meet hers. I pull back and wipe my eyes with a chuckle.

"I love you too, Lynn." I say and Christina knocks on the door and gestures for us to come inside.

"Breakfast is here." She says and I walk to see the man, who is serving breakfast setting it up on the table.

Just as I'm about to rush to put on a robe, he looks up and smirks at me.

A blush creeps on my face, damn. I really should have wore my robe.

"Thanks." I say gesturing to the door, he smiles at me and walks out. I shut and lock the door with a sigh. The girls burst out into laughter.

"Oh man, that reminds me of the time when we were in Los Vegas and at the hotel room, the bell-man liked you and Four got pissed." Marlene laughs as we start to sit at the table.

"Please," I say shaking my head. "Don't remind me."

I sit down at the head of the table with Marlene on the left side and Christina on the right side, Lynn is by Mar and Shauna is beside Christina, but we can still see each other well.

After eating a delicious breakfast which consists of; turkey bacon, eggs, toast, muffins, pancakes, waffles, fruit, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

We we're stuffed, at least we will be held good enough until dinner tonight.

"Okay Tris," Christina says swallowing a piece of buttered toast. "I have something set up for you in the bathroom." She says then grabs a sheet of paper.

"While you get pampered, I am going to send one of those luggage carts, pack up all the gifts, get someone to get these plates, two of us can shower and I can start hair. Then, we will get you straight Tris, I'm going to call the boys, then we can make our way to the building and finish getting ready." Christina nods, then starts thrusting us to our designated places.

I go into the bathroom and see rose petals in a huge bubble bath, the lights are dimmed, and music is playing with candles. Great, something to soothe me.

I strip of my clothes then I get into the warm, inviting tub. As I am soaking Christina comes in and makes me sit up a bit, then she starts washing my hair without a word. After that she sets in some conditioner, then uses the shower head to rinse it out.

After that, I get out, shower and shave myself bare. I never really produce hair only on my head, but not much any where else.

Just as I leave the bathroom in my robe, I see Christina putting rolls in Lynn's hair, while Marlene's is already done with her rolls and hair net. She is in a robe and putting on lotion.

Shauna must still be in the shower.

"Okay Tris, but this on and then come back to meet me." She says handing me one of my gift bags with a bottle of rose scented lotion.

The lingerie in the gift bag is all white, and lacy, actually not too much. I lotion down the I leave in my robe again and she starts to blow dry my hair, then curls it and puts rolls in them and puts a hair net on my head.

I can't believe this is really happening.

+++

As the girls rush around in their underwear, and doing finishing touches with my other family members, who actually had the heart to come, is helping.

I wonder if my parents are going to come. But I'm going to think of what Lynn said this morning, I have my true family here.

Christina is painting on some pink lipstick on my lips when there is a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I shout and the room falls silent, Christina steps out of the way to show me who's here, it's. . .

My mother.
