Divergent : Tris Pedrad

Chapter 12

I woke up to a hard knock at the door and four jumping out of bed frantically. I yelped in pain, my whole body aching.

Four sat down on the couch, his eyes holding a guilty look. The door opened and Zeke and Uriah came in, followed by cops. My heart skipped a beat and I froze.
"Hey tris, these detectives want to talk to you about the uh-" he stopped not able to find the right words.

"Okay," I said, attempting to keep my heavy eyes open.

"If you want, they can stay in the room, we just ask that we don't have any interruptions," the taller man said with mocha toned skin.

They looked at me and I nodded. I needed them to stay. Or I wouldn't be able to do this. The detectives took out a recorder and I laid my head back, weakly turning it towards Zeke. I honestly still felt awful, everything hurt and I just wanted to sleep. "Okay Beatrice. Can you tell us who your attackers were?" The other man asked.

"Peter-........ drew-... and Al," I said with flinch:

"Okay, can you tell us where you were when the incident happened and why?" The detective asked.

"I- was in the girls locker room after football practice and- and I- They attacked me," I said, tears in my eyes.

"Okay can you tell me exactly what happened in the locker room?" The mocha colored skin one asked.

"I showered........ and after I got dressed I was going home to meet up with my friends. But before I could leave the locker room- they hit me and I-" I stopped, turning my head away from them.

"What exactly did they hit you with?" The older one asked.

"A- a wrench. A big wrench. They hit me so many times with it," I said, tears falling down my face.

The boys expressions were horrified and angry. Uriah had never looked so mad.

"What happened after they hit you?" The old one asked.

"Peter grabbed me- and they covered my mouth. And they hit me. - and - and t-they kicked me so much, and then they hit me with the wrench again-" I broke off, tears falling down my face.

The boys put their heads in their hands and the detectives looked sympathetic.
"It's okay Beatrice. Can you tell us what happened after that?" They asked.

I froze. I can't tell them. I can't let Zeke know. It's so embarrassing. I'm disgusting. He'll hate me. "I- they-" I stopped. I couldn't continue.

"Beatrice you have to tell us what happened, or we can't help you," the younger one said.

"I- I can't-" I said.

"You have to," the older one said softly.

"After- t-they hit me, I couldn't move. Peter- he-" I stopped, the tears coming heavier.

"You can tell us, it's okay," he said.

"H-he did stuff to me-" I said quietly.

Zeke and Uriah sat up- their eyes focused on me intensely. They had confusion in their faces.

"What did they do?" The older one asked.

"I can't" I said softly.

"Honey we need you to tell us,"he said.

I sat silently for a few moments before saying it. "Peter- he touched me," I said- my voice cracking.

"That son of a bitch!" Zeke screamed.

"I'll kill him!" Uriah yelled.

"Did he rape you?" The detective asked.

"No! Just please get out! Please-" I said gasping for air. It hurt. My head was pounding. Everything was hurting.

They got up and left and I was gasping for air. "Just breathe tris- just breathe," four said.

Then I felt my body go rigid and everything went black.

Four POV

Tris gasped for air and her eyes were shifting in a weird way. "Just breathe tris- just breathe," I tried telling her.

Her body started shaking and her eyes rolled back. I slammed my hand down on the emergency button. Tris' body jerked and Zeke held her down, yelling frantically for help. She was having a seizure. He mouth began to foam and she shook uncontrollably. People rushed in the room and we were pushed out.

And we found ourselves on the waiting room once again, praying.
