Divergent High

Ch.11

Tris' POV

I wake up a couple hours after my appointment with a horrible headache and my mouth hurts like heck! "FOUR!" I yell. He walks in and looks at me with pity, then shakes it off."Yes Tris?" He says cheerily.

"My mouth hurts and I have a headache. Carry me downstairs Four." I whine. "You know what? Call me Tobias. That is my real name after all." He says and I smile. "Ok Tobias." I say, trying it on my tongue.

"You still need to carry me downstairs." I whine again. He rolls his eyes and carries me downstairs with my blanket still on my legs. "Can I have a pillow?" I ask, and he tosses me one from the other side of the couch. It's almost too big to catch in my hands.

I move down and snuggle in my blanket. "Can I get some food?" I ask. He nods and minutes later comes back with a big bowl of Campbell's chicken and noodle soup. Tobias then sets up a small table by my seat.(They are like fold tables for sitting on couches and stuff) I thank him and take the spoon from his other hand.

He turns the TV to American horror story and I spill soup multiple times. He laughs at me and I blush. When I finish he puts the bowl in the dishwasher and brings me back a coke and some pills. "It's for the pain." He says, and I grab them from his hand, desperate to get the throbbing pain from my gums.

I open the drink and swallow the three pills. Suddenly I feel very heavy. Like I'm gonna fall asleep any...

------------------

After I give her the pain pills she almost automatically passes out. I lay her head on my lap and play with her hair till I hear mom go through the door. "Sorry I had to go to work so early guys. I-" I cut her off by motioning to Tris.

She takes the hint and goes upstairs. "Toby. What time is it?" She whispers, getting up. "It's time for you to get a watch." I say jokingly, and she rolls her eyes. (A/N my family says that all the time. I had to put it in😜)

"Let's go to Zekes. I'm bored." She says, and I nod. This is going to be a long day.

Tris' POV

When I wake I feel really active. "Toby. What time is it?" I whisper. "Time for you to get a watch." He says. I roll my eyes dramatically. I just get a random thought,"Let's go to Zekes. I'm bored." I say, and he nods.

I go upstairs and hear Tobias talking to his mom."Well we will at least be back by Sunday tonight. We'll be fine mom!" He says. I hear her sigh,"Fine. Be home by at least midnight." She mumbles.

I run into my room and change into a sailer tie crop top with light blue denim shorts. I put on my black basketweave wedges. Finally I put on bright red lipstick, full bloom mascara, concealer, light pink blush and I do light white eyeshadow.

I walk out and see Tobias holding my purse out for me. "What a gentleman!" I joke, and grab it from him, going into the car. He follows and we head off to Zekes. "Turn the radio on!" He whines.

I punch his arm and turn the radio to serious xm. We sing along until I pull in beside Christina's car. We head up to the door, his arm flung across my shoulder. I knock like little kids do, like dun, dun, dun dun dun, dun dun.

Zeke opens the door and rubs his eyes. "Come on in bro and brosita!" He says. I snort and walk in. I see Marlene, Shauna, Uriah, Al and Christina sprawled on their couches. "Why does everybody come here? And where are your parents all this time?" I ask.

"Oh. They are always on business trips for like four months at a time. They are only home probably one month a year altogether." Zeke says, and I nod. We plop down in the only spot left, me sitting on Fo-Tobias. He wraps a warm, protective arm around my waist. I give him a kids, and lean back on his shoulder.
