Always, Forever

Ch 12

Tris POV:

"Help!" I scream in between sobs. "He's hurting me!" He left me. He didn't try to listen. Does he not see mine and Marlene's problem. We are seriously handcuffed. Sean slaps me in the face and kisses me...again. I bite his mouth, which is now bleeding.

"Uriah! ZEke! Over here!!!" Marlene screams, after the other kid breaks away from kissing her. I see both of the Pedrads sprinting in our direction. "What are you guys- I SEE YOU HANDCUFFED THEM. YOU PANSYCAKES. YOU WILL-" Uriah pulls the guy off Marlene and punches him in the temple. Zeke does the same to me.

I see Uriah hug Marlene. I just wish I had Tobias right now. "I'm sorry Uriah." Marlene whispers to him. "It's fine Mar. I see that you guys are handcuffed. Unlike the biggest idiot ever AKA Four." I start crying. "Help me." I choke out. I shake my hands so he knows what I'm talking about.

"I don't have any keys but maybe we can get a lock pick."Zeke looks at me and taps his chin. "Four... he didn't give me a chance. I am so scared Zeke. Uriah. I thought I was gonna get-"

I'm interrupted by Uriah. "I know I know Tris. You are gonna be okay. I promise." He comes over to me. I look at Marlene. She isn't crying anymore. I'm sitting down on the bench, sobbing into Uriahs lap. My hands are aching from the cuffs. "But what about Four?" I say in between sobs.

"Don't worry Tris. WE will talk to him." Uriah says. I look for Zeke but he already left. Well no he's searching for something in a store nearby. I pause for a moment. "But what if he don't listen to you. I mean. Clearly he's not good at that!" Uria rubs my shoulders, me still in his lap. Shauna somehow appeared and is comforting Marlene.

I see Zeke running back over here. "IF HE DON'T LISTEN I SWEAR ON MUFFINS WE WILL HAND CUFF HIM UNTIL HE APOLOGIZES!" I start laughing. He walks to Mar and takes off the cuffs. "Where is Christina?" I ask while he unhooks me. Once he unlocks my hands I immediately wipe my mouth.

Uriah And Zeke shrug. "I dunno. Haven't seen her or Will."  Uriah pauses. "Well now I sound stupid they are probably hooking up before the game." We all burst into laughter. "Hey Zeke?"
He nods telling me to go on. "You wanna have some fun threatening Jay and Sean and Zach. I'd do it but Uriah, Chris, Four, and I are instructors."

Zeke smiles his goofy grin. "A little harsh Tris." My face reddens. "I like it!" I start laughing. And then I frown. "Four better believe me. Because I do not want it to be awkward when training initiates." Now Zeke starts to laugh. "Oh come on Tris. You guys are the perfect couple. You'll make up by tomorrow." He smirks a little. "Plus Four wuvs you too much!" I roll my eyes.

I blush. Marlene speaks up. "All couples fight at least once." She glares at Uriah while saying this. He throws his hands up in defense. If anyone's the perfect couple, it's those two.

"Man, what are you gonna say to Four, Trissy." Uriah speaks up. I didn't notice the silence. I smile. "I dunno. Am I supposed to bring something and say, 'sorry I was forced to kiss a guy by being handcuffed. Here's a dying flower!'" We burst into laughter. "I'm gonna go now. Have fun with this dreaded game."

Everyone says bye. "BYE TRISSY GOOD LUCK!" Uriah yells. Luckily nobody turned around. I stick my tongue out at him and walk towards home. I'm just going to sleep on the couch. He probably doesn't want to talk right now.

I stand in front of the door. I raise my arm to knock but I realize that this is my home too. Plus, I don't want to bother him right now. Even though he is bugging me. I go to open up the door, but it's locked. I pull my key out of my pocket and slowly open the door.

I step inside and close the door. I tiptoe around the place. I open the door to our room and look inside. He is sleeping on his side of the bed, facing where I should be, and hugging a pillow. He looks so cute when he sleeps. Stop that! He is mad at you. I walk back out after grabbing a pillow.

I sit in the couch. I place the pillow there. I'm tired. But I can't sleep. I'm overthinking everything this never ends well. I hope we can get through this. All of this just because of a misunderstanding? Only Marlene knows the whole story.

I touch my hands to where my bruises are. Some on my face. I got punched and slapped there. One right above my waist. He grabbed me really tight there. I tear up. My hands get all shaky. I decide to try to fall asleep so I lay down. I cry silent tears as darkness fills my eyes. I fell in love with Tobias the way you fall asleep. Slowly, then all at once. "Goodnight Tobias."
