Born to be Dauntless book one

Chapter seven

That evening Four showed us where to eat. I sat at a table with a hamburger and a salad laid out before me. Noah sat across from me with chuck while I sat with Stacy. A dauntless born named Trisha sat next to Stacy with a boy named Eric . They both chatted happily with us and I soon learned that they were twins only 2 minutes apart. "I'm the oldest." Trisha said proudly as Eric rolled his eyes and ran his hand through his black hair. "By 2 minutes." He said sighing. She smirked and stuck a French fry in his mouth as if trying to choke him. "So Im still older." We all laughed as Eric spit out French fry all over Trisha's black boots. Noah and chuck got up and smiled. "We're going to get some beer you wanna come Eric ?" Asked Chuck grinning. He stood up. "Hell yeah." After they left Stacy, and Trisha decided that they wanted to see me in a dress so they pulled me up and dragged me towards the small shop. I groaned as Stacy pushed me into the dressing room while Trisha went and looked for a appropriate dress. I looked a myself in the mirror I thought I looked ok. I had on tight skinny jeans and a black tanktop With a leather jacket. My hair was now put up because I was mad at it for blowing in my face while I hung onto the edge of the Chasm and I had on the black combat boots I bought last night. Soon Stacy tossed over a black dress and light black flats. "C'mon Lesley lets see how you look !!" She cheered. I sighed and slipped into the dress and flats. I walked out and both girls awwwed. The dress clung to me like it was part of my skin and showed off my tan legs and Stacy handed me my leather jacket while letting my hair down. My brown hair fell in waves around my shoulders and Stacy squealed. "You look amazing !! Lets go see if Noah and Chuck like it." I felt my cheeks flush. "What ?! No way !!" They both giggled and Trisha pushed me out the door. As we neared the Chasm we saw the boys with beer in their hands talking and laughing. Trisha put mascara and pink lipstick on me and smiled brushing her black hair away from her face. "There perfect." Stacy took that as a sign and smiled. "Ooohhhh boys !!" She said in a singsong tone. Noah turned towards us and dropped his can when he saw me. "Wow. You look...wow..." He said looking at me. I rolled my eyes. Chuck and Eric smirked at Noah and took Trisha and Stacy's arm. I heard Eric whisper. "Lets leave these two alone." I blushed but gave Stacy a glare she winked and walked away. Noah smiled at me flipping blonde hair out of his face. "What ?!" I said crossing my arms. He shrugged. "You looked so helpless yesterday when we met but now after only today I see your one of the strongest ones here. I couldn't of hung there like you did." He looked down. "It was my fault you had to do that ." He said sadly. I put a hand on his shoulder. "Noah just because you didn't wanna shoot a gun doesn't mean it was your fault. We all have our fears. Yours is guns mine is ..". I hesitated I had never told anyone this but I took a deep breath and muttered the words. "Being alone forever." He looked back up at me confused. "Like never having a husband ? Never having a family ?" I nodded slowly. He smiled sadly. "Lesley that would never happen your the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. How could someone not love you ?" He bent down and smashed his lips into mine. It's a strange thing love. I only meant him yesterday but when he kissed me it felt like I'd known him for years. Honestly I'd memorized everything about him in this past day. The way his blonde hair fell into his blue eyes made them look brighter , the way his eyes shine when he laughs, the way he looks at Four like he might strangle him, and the way he cares about everyone well except Sierra. But then I realized something this isn't love this is just him being drunk and me being a stupid girl. I pulled away and felt the tears start to come as I ran towards the room we all shared. I heard him call my name only slightly slurred and the tears rushed down my face. I crashed into the small bedroom and crawled into the bunk bed I shared with Stacy and cried.
