I walk out of the gym and feel someone's hand wrap around my mouth. Another arm goes around my waist and I'm dragged to the back of the gym.
Where no body looks. Where no body bothers to look.
They rip my bag off my shoulders. They use one hand to keep my mouth shut and the other to keep my still.
"Here's your Welcome Back Present." Someone whispers in my ear.
I involuntarily gulp. I'm going to die.
Peter walks up to me and cracks his knuckles and laughs. I must've looked scared.
I lifts his fist and I close my eyes. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach and double over, pulling away from Eric who was holding my mouth.
He swings another punch to my ribs and fall into the floor. He walks over and kicks me again and again. On the last one I grab his foot and swing my legs tons. He falls flat on his arse.
"You little bitch!" He yells and before I can scramble away, he's on top of me and I'm pinned down. His hand clasps around my throat.
"Listen to me, Stiff." He spits "your worthless." Eric walk over and kicks me in the ribs. "Your useless." Another kick "Four never loved you, he only used you."
I punch him in the face, he sprawls across the floor. Eric lunches at me and drags me up, he holds my arms behind my back.
"Come on boys, let's beat some sense into her." A voice comes. Nita and Lauren, I notice suddenly, are standing behind Peter. Lauren smirks at me.
"How the mighty fall." Lauren says and walks forward to Peter's shoulder. "Although, you were never mighty before."
"I never fell." I say. Peter lunches a punch into my stomach. It pushes all the air out of me and I feel like space is closing in on me. I begin to wheeze and gasp for air but I feel like I'm drowning.
"Oh wait, where's your hero to come and save you?" Peter mocks as I gasp, still trying to fill my lungs with air. "He's never coming to save you. He knows your worthless, Tobias is just using you."
"He's done and forgotten about you. He can't even look at you now." Lauren says "when he broke up with me, he just wanted to play with you."
I feel anger boil within me. I can't hold it in anymore. I feel like I'm about to burst, I want to yell at her.
"He broke up with you because your a bitch." I yell. Nita strides over and grabs one of my arms. So Eric holds one arm while Nita holds the other. I stare straight at Peter and Lauren. Peter lifts his fist and slams it into my eye. After all my experience. That's going to leave a bruise.
I can't let them see me weak. Any weakness and they know they've won. I can't give them that satisfaction. They don't deserve to see me falter and I can't let myself down because after everything I've been through. The last person I want to show vulnerability to is Peter.
"Stiff, your worthless and everyone knows it." Eric says. I shake my head.
"Your wrong!" I say. Lauren laughs.
"Prove. It." She says, Peter smirks at her and folds his arms.
"I have friends that have looked out for me." I say. Peter and Lauren fall around laughing, Eric joins in with them.
"You think!" Peter says in between laughs "you had friends!" He rubs away a tear of laughter from his eye.
"Didn't you know it was all fake!" Eric cackles. My eyes widen.
"Come on!" Lauren says over the howls of laughter. "Why else would they want to be friends with someone like you! If it wasn't a dare!" I feel like throwing up.
"That's not true." I say while shaking my head, my eyes are wide like a mad mans. They're lying they have to be.
"Well, one day. When me and Tobias were together. We were playing or dare. Tobias was still trying to befriend at the time. Well anyway we were playing truth or dare. You must've seen us! Laughing, at you mainly. Tobias had his arm around my shoulder." I remember. I watched them from across the cafeteria. I remember seeing the happiness and the played and fooled around with one another. I remember feeling jealous. I remember Marlene having to lick Uriah's foot. "Any way one of the dares was for Christina to get close to you and then we would destroy you. And that's exactly what she did." She smirks.
"Your lying." I say. Peter punches my jaw.
"Shut up!" He growls. I black out for a moment or two.
"Oh I'm not lying, Tris, I can tell you anything. Cody was your old friend from when you were kids. You went to Juvey." She says.
"Cody is common knowledge and you could've seen the books about Juvey." I say.
"You have scars on your back. Your dad used to beat you and whip." How can she know all of that. The girls saw the scars on my back and I told them my biggest secret. It's true. But not Tobias.
"I also know that you robbed Tobias' house a few nights ago. You went into his bedroom and spoke to him."
I shake my head. She knows almost everything.
She knows.
She knows.
She knows.
They all know.
"How?" I whisper. Still shaking my head in disbelief.
"I told you. Every thing is a. Lie." Her lips curls. "Your friendship. Every thing."
I drop to my knees. This is what drowning feels like. Not when Peter knocks the air out of you. It's when it's sucked out of you.
"So let me say this once more." Peter says. "Your worthless." He says and slams his fist into my stomach." Your useless." Another fist. "And every body knows it." The last fist connects with my face and I fall to the floor in a heap.
Every thing is the truth. I just didn't believe it till now.
If you didn't understand this chapter. Go and read chapter 16 of We are one to get the truth and dare scene. It will make more sense if you can't remember
