I felt someone slightly shaking my shoulder and a hot breath tickling my ear. I shivered from the tingles and snuggled even closer to the source of heat. The hand that was wrapped around my waist gave a gentle sqeeze before moving it's thumb in a circular motion on my bare skin, revealed from my shirt riding up.

"Tris, wake up. Our parents are home"

The deep voice that belonged to the one and only Four had me pop my eyes open at the words that just came out from his mouth. I look around and sure enough there they all are looking at Four and I. I rub my eyes and turn to look up at Four whose staring back at me with a smirk on his face. I slowly get up standing as I fix my appearence not wanting to embarrass myself more than I already have. Four stands up beside me looking like he hasn't just been caught by both our parents sleeping together on a couch.

"Why are you guys home so late?" I question looking at my parents but asking all four of them.

"Well I saw your parents while I was doing my errands and so we all went through town together and got all our stuff we needed. Afterwards we decided to have dinner and so we called Marcus to meet us at the restaurant" Mrs. Eaton explains.

"Didn't you get my text?" My mom asks nodding her head towards my phone that is lying on the floor. Hmm I don't know how that got there.

I quickly pick it up scrolling through my messages to see that she did in fact text me. I just didn't hear it go off because I had put it on silent when me and Four started watching the movies.

"Oh. It was on silent because we were watching some movies" I say checking the time. 12:16pm. "Well I'm going to go to bed. We got school tomorrow morning" I say heading towards the door.

"Goodnight everyone" I say as I walk through the door.

"Oh Tris honey, I just wanted to let you know your father and I will be accompanying Mr and Mrs. Eaton on a business trip. We leave Thursday night and will back on Tuesday". My mom summarizes.

"Where are you going? Whose going to look after Chloe?" I start to question her.

"How about we discuss this tomorrow? You can ask me all the questions you need." I nod at her suggestion and continue on through the door muttering a quick 'goodnight' once again.

I hear a chorus of 'goodnights' as I head up the stairs. Entering my room I fall straight on my bed. There's no point in changing now I've already partially slept in these clothes. I close my eyes and instantly fall into a deep slumber.

*~*~*~*~*

I walked through the double doors towards my locker. It was Monday morning and that meant school. I honestly didn't want to be here and that's not because I had a lot of explaining to do to Shauna, I actually enjoyed my weekend and I didn't want it to end. 

Signing as I close my locker, knowing it's going to be a long day, I decide to just head straight to class. I know it may seem like I'm avoiding my friends but I'm not, I just want some more time of freedom before Shauna comes and bombards me with questions that I don't have answers for. I still haven't come up with a lie for me to tell her and I don't have a lot of time left. I place my head on my desk thinking of all my possible scenerios.

Ringggg...

I pop my head up at the sound of the school bell. I notice a few students at their desks but not many, the bulk of them would be coming in at any moment.
