Chapter 19

The visiting day was over a month ago. Now it's June, and Ashlyn and Bryn are out of school. Ronny was taking the girls to Disney World, and told Four that he absolutely had to come with them. He hadn't wanted to, but Ashlyn was stubborn.

That's why now he's in Hollywood Studios.

It was about to rain, but it was awfully humid out. The sky was dark with clouds, and there was a flash of lightening and some thunder. Four had wanted to stay in their room in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, but Ashlyn- and he thought Tris was stubborn- forced him to come.

"So where are we staying again?" He asks Ashlyn.

"Animal Kingdom Lodge."

"I knew that."

Ashlyn rolls her eyes at him. "Kidani Village. The other one is Jambo House." He nods, quiet again.

"Still upset about you-know-who?"

He shoots her a look. "Why would I be upset about Voldemort?" 

She cracks a grin. She'd made him sit down and watch every single Harry Potter movie, all of the Star Wars movies, and The Hunger Games. "You know who I mean."

Four sighs. Did she really have to bring it up now? "Yes. What else would I be sad about?"

"It'll be alright, you know." She says quietly. They get in line for the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show and wait for a few minutes. Four doesn't reply. Instead, he thinks about what Ashlyn said. How can it be alright? He thinks. Then they have to go into the theater. Four sits between Ashlyn and some random person, and they both watch the show.

The mermaid- Ariel, he remembers- is sort of like Tris, in a way. Unsure about what to do usually, naturally curious. Ashlyn had joked and said that he's like Eric, the prince. Then she'd changed her mind and said that he was more like Flynn Rider from Tangled- he had this cool name, and then you find out that his real name is actuallly something completely different. And the fact that he'd be the only person to ask why everyone was randomly singing.

The show ended, and they got up to leave. After checking the wait time for Toy Story Mania- which was 130 minutes, even at night- they decided to leave. As they got on the bus, Four decided that he'd try to forget Tris, at least until this vacation was over.

Tris curled up on her bed, resting her head against her pillow. After doing exactly as Ashlyn told her, she'd discovered the real reason why just a few weeks ago Caleb moved to New York. Hatred slashed through her, quickly followed by the pain.

She hadn't gotten out of bed since she'd come home. They'd given her food, which she ate, but only so that she could live long enough to figure out what the hell was going on. Her phone buzzed on the table next to her bed, and she grabbed it. She keyed in her password and then read the text.

Did you look it up?

Yes. Tris replies. Of course. I just got back from looking it up.

The text came several minutes later. What did you find?

Tris types down exactly what she found in the systems. After a text confirming that they'd read the information, Tris locked her phone and curled up underneath the blankets. She knows that her dreams will be filled with nightmares if she allows herself to sleep, but she's so exhausted.

Tris closes her eyes, wanting nothing more than to see her friends again, to apologize to Tobias, and most of all, to kill whoever decided to do this. Can't they cut her a break?

No, she thinks, Because I'm Beatrice Prior, and nothing is ever easy for me.
