Divergent high

chapter 13

almost summertime I have one more final and then I'm done. I hate high school.

FOUR POV

I wake up to tris' beautiful face. I didn't want to wake her up but I had to, we have school today. "Hey baby," I say softly," wake up we have school today."

"I know." she says opening her eyes and giving me a peck on the cheek. She gets up and walks towards the bathroom, probably to take a shower. I notice that she has these short pj shorts on and I can't help but stare. I get up and walk towards her,wrapping my arms around her waist, and kissing the back of her head. She turns around and deepens the kiss. After a few minutes I remember that I actually have to do something today. I pull away and she frowns. I laugh," I got to go home and get ready." She frowns and I know she is thinking of marcus. "Tris I'll be fine."

"ok" she says, still frowning. I give her a quick kiss and climb through her window into my bedroom. Through the window I see her walk into the bathroom and turn on the water for her shower.

I am just getting in the shower when I hear a bang from downstairs. Being the stupid and curious person that I am I went to check it out. I creep down the stairs and peek my head around the corner. Nothing is there . I shrug and start back up the stairs but before I reach the 5th step something pulls me back and throws me to the ground. My head hits the wall, hard. I touch a hand to my head and I see blood. Shit. I stand up, holding a hand to my head, and when I turn around I see Marcus with a belt in his hand. That's not the problem though because in his other hand he holds a baseball bat. I step forward and try knocking the bat out of his hand but he moves and then whips me. I yell out and he laughs,"You are a worthless, pathetic coward." he sneers," You think that you can hide in that house of that pathetic thing that you call a girlfriend!" I Don't know why I have put up all these years with my father all these years. He calls me pathetic everyday and everyday I let him beat me, but it isn't until today that I fight back. I fight back because, finally, I know what love feels like. I feel like I'm finally worth something because of...Tris. And he just called her pathetic. All of this runs through my head in a second and then something inside me snaps.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL TRIS PATHETIC!!." I scream at him,"SHE WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN YOU! YOU'RE A FUCKING MONSTER!" I am shocked that I just said that. When I look at Marcus I wish I hadn't. He has a look in his eyes that I've never seen before. It isn't that look of anger and enjoyment when he usually beats me. It is a look of pure hatred. He drops the belt and comes at me with the bat. I try to fight him of but its useless. He hits me, hard, in the head and I drop to the ground. Everything is starting to fade. But befrore the world goes black I hear a scream. I open my eyes slightly and see tris attack marcus with a look of rage in her eyes, like full on throw him to the ground and kick him until he's out. it is kinda scary to see something so gentle and loving beat the shit out of a grown man. She runs to me and puts my head on her lap. Now all i see in her eyes is sadness and fear, she is crying and yelling my name, saying she loves me and to stay with her. I cant stand to see her like that so i use the last of my fading strength to reach out and gently touch her face. Before i fade i look her straight in the eyes,"I love you."
