Divergent High {IN EDITING}

Chapter 71

Tris POV:

Four's phone rings. He answers.

"Hello?" He asks putting the phone on speaker.

"Hey Four its Marlene. I was calling to see if you heard about Tris's death. I wanted to make you feel better."

"Well--" I cut him off.

"Marlene. Leave me alone. I am done fighting with you. I swear, if you bother me or my friends again. I will kill you myself." I say and hang up the phone.

I think about death and then I think about Caleb. I start to cry.

"Caleb." I say and curl up into a ball. 

Tobias wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.

"Tris, I am not gonna tell you its alright because it is not. Nothing will ever be alright. But you have me and our friends. Even when you want to be left alone, we won't let you." He says and I laugh.

"That's the beautiful smile I have been waiting for." He says.

"Power."

"What about power?" 

"Power should be given to people who don't want it. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad."

"Knowledge is power. Power to do evil like...Marcus. Or power to do good like...Us. But power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil." He says. (From Allegiant.) 

I smile and kiss him.

"Well... I heard tomorrow is Superhero Day. Would you do the honors of coming with me?" He asks and I nod.

Then we lay of the bed. I am on his chest listening to his heart beat and his stroking my head. I fall into a dreamless trance.

I wake up the next morning, and take a quick shower. I put on my Batman Foil Emblem Hockey V-Neck Junior Fitted Tee and yellow Galaxy leggings. I straighten my hair and walk downstairs. I see Tobias sitting on the couch in the Batman Logo Tee I got for him and some jeans. 

"Good morning. Sleeping Beauty." He says.

"Good morning. Computer Geek."

"Hey!"

I giggle. He gets up and I get on his back. We walk to school.

I want life to be like this everyday but I know Marlene is going to find another freaking way to ruin my life. And anoth thing pops into my head. I am wishing Caleb was here. With me. I miss my older over protective brother. I wish he would hug me. Tell me everything is okay. But I have Tobias now. But I need Caleb to give me advice. He deserved power He wouldn't have wanted it. But what Tobias said to me sticks in my head.

"Knowledge is power. Power to do evil like...Marcus. Or power to do good like...Us. But power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil." 

But now all I can think is...

I miss you so much, Caleb. 

But Tobias is going to take care you. An inner voice tells me. I smile because I know he is and I know that Caleb is still with me.

My brother.
