Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 4

I laid against the cool grass, breathing harshly attempting to regain my breath. Peter smirked at me and nudged me with his foot. Then hell seemed to break lose. Zeke ran straight at Peter, pure hatred and anger written on his face. Four was by my side, leaned down next to me. I felt wetness pour down my face and I reached up. My hand came away caked in vibrant red blood. Four slid off his shirt before pressing it to my face. Zeke was beating the shit out of peter and everyone was attempting to pull him away.
Coach was running onto the field, and straight to zeke, pulling him off of a screaming peter. Four wrapped his arm around me and pressed the shirt to my face, which was now caked in my blood. "What the hell do you think your doing?" Coach Max yelled at Zeke.

"He almost killed tris!!! Look!" Everyone shouted at Max.

"Peter. Office now. I said no harsh contact," max said before walking over to me along with Zeke and Uriah.

"What happened?" They asked immediately.

Four pulled away the bloodied shirt to reveal a cut by the top of my forehead. My nose was also dripping blood. I spit some blood out of my mouth. "I'm fine, just a little cut," I said pushing fours hands away from me as the blood dipped down my face.

"I'll take her to the nurse," zeke said.

"Not so fast Zeke, you got to go explain to the office why Peter is down there, four and Uriah can take her," coach max ordered Zeke.

Zeke growled in anger before shuffling off and four pressed the shirt to my head again and we started walking to the nurse. I pushed away his hands and he kept bringing the bloodied shirt up.
"Ugh just give it to me," I said finally taking it and pressing it to my own head. Uriah and four walked close, probably in case I lost balence or passed out.
We finally got to the nurse. I was started to feel pretty dizzy. My head was pounding and the shirt was covered in blood.
The nurse was sitting in her chair, reading a book. When we walked in she set it down, glancing at us.

Her eyes widened and she rose to her feet. "Oh dear, what happened?" She asked grabbing my arm and sitting me down. "Peter tackled me with no gear on," I said cringing as she pulled away the shirt.

She took a look at it before making an unsure face. "I don't think you'll need stitches but you will need to go home. Someone can drive you. You seem to have lost a lot of blood," the nurse said before wiping at it and patting a bandaid down.  My nose stopped bleeding by now.
"I can drive her home," Uriah said

"It's okay Uriah, I can take her, you go back to class," four said shrugging off
Uriah protests.

I looked at four gratefully. If Uriah or Zeke had taken me home they would've babied me so much.
Four helped me up, slinging his arm around my shoulder. I felt a flutter in my stomach and my cheeks felt hot. Why the hell am I blushing? I push the thought aside and head home with Four.

We walked into the house. My head was pounding. We walked to one of our family rooms and sat down. I grabbed the remote, sitting down right beside four and clicking the buttons on the remote. I flipped the channel to a movie called 'Saw' and I felt a blanket sling across me. I glanced up and smiled at four and he sat next to me. I almost immediately felt exhausted and I leaned my body against four. I don't know why I would do that, he's like my best friend. I probably creeped him out. As I suspected He tenses up, but then slid his arms around me. My eyes felt heavy and I let them flutter closed.

I stretched my legs, a yawn escaping my mouth. I rubbed my eyes in exhaustion and attempted to sit up. Something around my waist stopped me and I glanced down. It was fours stone arms, Wrapped around my body.
I glanced at the grandfather clock. It was almost 3. My brother would be home soon. Oh shit. I nudged four awake and he slowly stirred, just as I did. His arms slid away from around me and I sat up, yawning.
Four sat up as well. It was almost..... awkward. I jumped to my feet and almost collapsed. My head pounded. Fours arms steadied me and he pushed me back against the couch. "Don't get up, you need rest," he said
"I just took a nap I'm fine," I said with annoyance in my voice.
"Sit down," he warned me in his strict voice.
He never uses that voice with me. When he does I know he's serious so I stayed sitting down.

I heard the front door click open from the other room and Zeke, Uriah, and will all came in to to the room four and I were in.
"Hey ri," Zeke said smiling.
"Trissssyyy," Uri screamed.
I rolled my eyes and fell back against the couch cushions.
"We should have a party tomorrow night," will offered.
It is Friday, that might not be such a bad idea.
"Yeah, where should we have it?" Uri asked to no one in particular.
"Are you kidding, here of course. Your house is a mansion," will said.
We nodded in agreement.
They all plopped down on the couch by me and four. "I have to do homework," I said getting up.
"It's the first day of school?" Zeke said with a confused look.
I blushed, my lie didn't work at all. I was really going out with Christina to go shopping.
"Oh yeah, I just have some for, um- for history," I said.
"We didn't have homework?" Will said confused.
"Must've been a different class..... bye!" I said before turning on my heel and sprinting out.
I raced out of the front door and jumped in my car.
I was supposed to be resting. Zeke is going to kill me when I get home. I shrug off the thought and pull out of the driveway to go pick up Chrissy.
