Divergent High

Tobias

As soon as Tris mentioned Lauren's name my head started swarming with hatred, with evil thoughts and ideas.

"What are you doing here you whore?" Lauren spits out

"I could ask you the same question!" Tris fires back, just as harsh

"I'm here because I'm an actual nice fuck, unlike you." Tris tenses as the words leave Lauren's mouth. I know Tris and I haven't actually slept together but from what we did last night I know she's still on edge.

"You know once you've fucked he won't stay around to see the next sunrise. He will leave you just like he does everyone. You aren't special Tris." Tris has her eyes brimming with tears, just threatening to spill.

My thoughts are consumed with hatred, my brain is full of how Lauren can come into my house as say these things to Tris. They are false, absolutely false and to think that Tris might believe her makes me nervous, I can't have Tris leave, I can't after knowing I lost her once in NY, I'm not losing her again.

Tris looks back at me, then to Lauren again, and then back to me. Why haven't I said anything? My mouth feels numb, as if my lips are sealed together with something indestructible. They only sound that is audible in the house is the sound of Lauren's fake press on nails tapping on the wooden table near the entrance to my living room. If she couldn't get any worse.

"You're wrong!" Tris speaks up "he wouldn't do that to me!"

"Oh yes he would honey, just wait, if you haven't done it already. He is just waiting to get you into bed so he can prove to himself he can get anyone." she snarls

Tris looks back at me, her voice barely a whisper, "you wouldn't do that to me.." she speaks softly. I'm about to respond, about to admit to her that Lauren is wrong and that I would never hurt her, never in a million years but I still can't process what's going on. I can't fathom words to describe to her that I'd never hurt her, which only makes things worse.

Tris stands up, startling not only me but Lauren as well. Tris has tears pooling out of her eyes. Her hair is a mess from her griping it so hard. Her face puffy from crying and her cheeks red. Yet she's still so beautiful.

Tris bolts for the door. The sound of Lauren's laughter echoing through the walls gives me enough courage and energy to stand up and yell for Tris before she is out the door and out of my life.

"Tris Prior stop!," I yell through the house, catching Lauren off guard and stopping Tris dead in her tracks, "what I'm about to tell you is the truth, not the bullshit Lauren is feeding to you."

Here goes nothing.

"Tris Prior, I would never, ever, ditch you. Especially after an intimate moment. Not only are you incredibly important to me, you are one of the only things keeping me sane. I know it sounds cliche, but it's the truth. I would never take advantage of you, nor accept bragging rights for scoring with you," I purposely say scoring in a way she knows that I'm telling the truth., "I like you Tris because you are kind, beautiful and brave. I don't just do it for the action or the kissing. I do it because at the end of the day I get to see you with my by my side, because I get to wake up with you in my arms. I promise you, I promise you with all of my being that whatever Lauren said is not true, nor will it ever be in the future. Tris, if you walk out that door, if you never want to speak to me again, I get it. But if you take one thing with you, out of this whole messed up in a beautiful fucking way, take this one thing. I need you. I need you Tris Prior." By the time I'm done with my rambling speech my face is stained with tears and my throat is on fire. I have a small pit in my stomach, a small part of my is hopeful that she will stay but a larger part of me is scared that she will take all of my words and take them right out the door along with herself.

Her eyes burn into mine, her fist are clenching her balled up material of her shirt. Her tears are still clearly pouring out of her eyes.

I'm trying to communicate with her through my eyes, her beautiful eyes scanning my face. She needs to know that I need her, that I want her and I hope she wants me.

I'm starting to get more and more worried as every second passes, she doesn't say a word. Her mouth just open slightly with her eyes bulging.

Maybe her words are caught in her throat like mine were? Maybe she's trying to think of everything that she could say to me?

Maybe she's deciding on how to end things with me easily without breaking my heart more then it already is.

I need her to say something. I know now how she felt as I just sat on the couch not defending her as Lauren was saying all those hateful things to her.

"You can't honestly forgive him can you?" Lauren screams, clearly annoyed that Tris and I are just exchanging nervous and tear stained glances.

"Shut the fuck up Lauren!" Tris yells

woah. the fuck just happened there?

"Excuse me?" lauren says while she steps forward to face Tris.

Tris clearly ignores her as she strides towards me, taking slow but large steps in my direction. Her presence is enough to take my breathe away, her hair is slightly on her shoulders, her eyes are searching for something, something I hope is good.

"Tobias.."
