Divergent High

Chapter 8- Protection

Four's POV:

I frantically pace around Tris's living room. I brush my fingers across my hair. I have been moving things around trying to find Tris for 5 hours. I cant find her anywhere and she said she wasn't doing anything today.

I hear a knock on the door and expect to see Marcus, but Tris stands in front of me.

I hug her tightly. "I can't lose you." I whisper. She is my best friend.

I look into her beautiful gray eyes. I smile a light smile. I sit her down on the couch.

"So? What happened?" I ask. She sighs.

"Laurenbangedmyheadagainstthewallandiblackedoutthenshelockedmeina-" She says. "Restart. Slower" I say.

"Lauren banged my head against the wall and I blacked out then she locked me in a janitors closet for a few hours hoping I'll run out of oxygen." She says.

That girl, I swear. I'll get her back some day. She wanted my best friend to die in a closet. She tells me about Janitor Martin and what time she woke up.

I put chicken alfredo in the oven and wait for it to cook. I get out the ice cream and let it melt. I sit next to her and see her shivering. I walk upstairs and find a blanket. I come back downstairs and put the blanket around her.

She smiles. "Four? I know its only been a few days but I realized that you have become my best friend. You've cared for me. You've laughed at all my jokes. You came here to check on me for crying out loud!" she says.

I feel tears brimming in my eyes. I don't know what I would have done if that janitor hadn't open up the door.

She touches her head and blood is on her fingers. I go to the closet and get the medical supplies. I feed her pain medicine and put bandage on her head.

I will take care of her from now on. I will be her guard. I am hers now. We watch my favorite movie, divergent. I scold when I see that kid's dad. He is just like Marcus. Almost exactly, which is kind of weird.

I look over and Tris has fallen asleep on my chest. My fingers twirl her hair. Oh, Tris. Welcome to my life.
