Along for the Ride

Chapter 6

Recap

We all thought my mom would die but somehow after 3 months in a coma she woke up only to realize her daughter was dead." that's where Drew ended his story.

"I'm so sorry Drew, thats horrible."

And that's why when Harrison came up to tell Drew it was dinner, he found both of us hugging eachother and crying.

chapter 6

tris pov

After five minutes of washing up my face in the bathroom I decide to head downstairs to eat dinner. Just as I am leaving my room I bump into something hard, or rather someone. When I look up I see Drew staring down at me. Although neither of us says anything, I know that we share some kind of connection and that no matter how many masks he puts up I will always be able to see the sweet, honest guy who shared his story with me just a few minutes ago.

Soon Drew and I are heading downstairs together. Once we enter the kitchen I see that Josh is sitting at the table waiting for us before he eats. Now I know how much of a player my brother is and how rude he is at times but hes still my brother and he has always cared for me. He always does little things like wait for me before he eats or come into my room to say goodnight and that's why I love him.

Anyway, so I go over to my usual seat and sit down in front of the beautiful steak dinner that our chef Anita had prepared. I immediately start digging in when my brother decides to start a conversation. Really Josh, you should no not to interrupt me when theres a steak in front of my face... uggh.

"so tris, how was your first day as tris the popular kid?"

"Absolutely fantabulous now shutup and let me eat my steak," I say, or rather growl.

This just earns me the pleasure of being laughed at by my brother and Drew, wonderful im soooo happy. I decide to just ignore the idiotic specimen known as Josh and just continue eating my steak, it truly is delicious.

Once i finish my meat i go over and thank Anita and say goodnight to our housekeeper clemenc before going upstairs to do my homework, yay.

Im halfway through my extremely boring calculous homework when someone knocks on my door.

"Come in!" i shout before going back to my math.

"I wanna talk to you lil sis"

"first off, your only older by 2 minutes and second, what do you want im busy getting a headache from my homework if you dont mind."

I wait a few minutes, assuming that Josh left but when i turn around i see him, im not that lucky.

"Ugg fine what could possibly be more important than Mr. Clark's homework assignment?" i say with straight face, that is until i look at my brother and we both start cracking up. Yup we are just that cool, spontaneous laughter and all.

"Im sooooo sorry to interupt you from your oh so important math but i wanna talk to you little sister," he said putting emphasis on the little sister part,

"As your older brother I feel that it is my sworn duty to protect you from idiotic guys your age, and now that you are little miss popular you must be fully aware that i would like to personally interogate any dude that you may consider going out with. Furthermore i will be completely stalkerish if I dont approve is that clear?"

Now you may be thinking to yourself that Josh is a very annoying very protective brother but you're wrong. Josh said that entire speach in a very posh British accent while attempting, and failing, to look like a stern father, so naturally we both start cracking up again.

"Seriously though tris i do care and you should know that."

I walk up to my brother and give him a hug.

"I know you do and im touched bro, dont worry you can creepily interrogate any guy I bring over.. and by the way you are considered as one of those idiotic dudes my age." and of course we both start rolling around on the ground dying of luaghter yet again. Seriously didnt i tell you we were cool?

We finally stop laughing and as we are getting up of the ground I look up to see that Drew is standing in my doorway looking very amused.

"whats so funny drew?" Josh and i say at the same time, twin telepathy like.

"well beside the part where you have a deep meaningful conversation, the rolling around dying of laughter and the part where you say things at the same time nothing is really that funny," Drew says smirking.

I look over at Josh and see that hes thinking the same thing as me. We simultaniously turn toward Drew and lunge. We both start tickling him until he too is dying of laughter. Seriously, how could you people not wanna be like us, we are fucking awesome.

The three of us continue laughing over random crap until I see the figures of two people in my door frame. I look up and see that its Drew's parents standing there trying to hide their smiles. My own parents arent home because my moms a lawyer and my dad is a doctor so thy tend to work late.

Naturally since im the weirdo known as Tris, once i think about my parents being home late i get curious about the time.

I look over at my nightstand to see that it is already 9:00 and i still havent done my homework.And of course after realizing that i have homework I realize that I have soccer practice tommorrow and that I also have to worry about who coach and I are going to have play at the game friday.

"yo people! i gotta do homework so yall are gonna leave now ok bye"

I go over to my school bag across the room and turn my back to the door so that i can put away calc and get out my Italian book. I hear the door close signifying that everyone is gone, so i think. when i stand up about to go over to my desk I notice that someone is still standing in my room.

Naturally the figure standing in the shadows of my room is Drew. He walks over, silently standing behind me and whispering in my ear,"your brother can creepily stalk me all he wants." Then Drew spins me around and kisses me. Not just some peck mind you, a wonderful kiss full on the lips that had me feeling like i was on cloud nine. Of course I start kissing him back. After about thirty blissful seconds we pull apart gasping for air. I look into his eyes just admiring how beautiful and blue they were.

"Tris will you please let me take you on a date tomorrow?" did I really just hear that?!

"On one condition, kiss me goodnight." I sat a smile tugging at my lips.

Without uttering another word Drew leans down and gives me a short peck on the lips before leaving me in my room, a smile on both our lips.

I breeze through my homework and get ready for bed. I turn off the lights before slipping under my covers. The last thing I remember thinking was that maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that Drew would be staying with us.
