Divergent High

Chapter 23- New Life

Tris's POV:

The cops take Lauren away. "How much?" I ask. "25 years." a cop says. I nod. Caleb and I look online for orphanages for the kids living here. We find one called 'Wayne's home for lonely Children' in New York City.

The cops drive the kids to the airport. I sigh. My life was normal, perfect. Then, high school changed it all.

I look at Mrs.Smith as the ambulance takes her away. I sit down on the couch, and for the first time in forever.

I cry.

I walk out the door or the orphanage. Caleb and I walk down the seawall.

I stare into the beautiful ocean. We sit on a bench and he hugs me.

"I'm going to walk along the beach." he says. I nod.

I sit for a moment and watch people pass by. A cute boy walk in front of me. He keeps walking then backs up. He now stands in front of me.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't help notice how beautiful you are." he says. I blush. "Thank you." I reply.

"My name is Mason Lawrence." he says.

He sits next to me. "So, what's your name?" he asks me.

"Tri- Beatrice." I say. I feel like being true today.

I check my watch and it says 6:46! Shiznit! I've been talking to Mason for about 4 hours! Well, we didn't just talk on that little bench. We went to pleasure pier and the beach.

My phone starts to ring. "Hey! I love Galveston. It has lots of cool places to see." Caleb says through the phone.

"I also found a place to stay. It cost me all my job money, but it will be worth it until we can find a way back to Chicago." he says.

"Okay. Meet me at the parking lot of Moody Gardens." I say.

"Where is that?" he asks. "Find a map." I say. I hang up.

I look back at . "I've had fun today, but I gotta go. My brother found a place to stay and I should probably pay some of the cost." I say. I start to walk away.

He grabs my arm. "You don't have to do that. You guys can stay with me." he says. "Thank you very much." I say.

"Anytime, Bea." he says. I pause. My parents used to call me that. My heart stops.

My thoughts are interrupted by Mason. "You okay?" he asks. "Fine." I say brushing it off. I stare into his beautiful eyes.

"Shall we?" he asks, hand out. "We shall." I reply, and grab his hand.

We walk to his house and sit down on the couch.

I text my brother and he soon finds Mason's house.

Mason puts blankets on the couch for me to sleep. Caleb sleeps on the guest bed.

Caleb goes to sleep early. Mason and I stay up for a while playing just dance.

I hear drops of rain. Then thunder pounds my ears. The tv shuts off.

"I guess God wants us to sleep now." he says. I laugh.

I wrap the blanket around me. "So I understand you have this crazy stalker girl who likes to bang your head into walls and kill innocent people, but you never really said why." he says. I laugh.

"Oh yes. She wants to kill me because I stole her boyfriend." I say.

He looks hurt and I'm not sure why. I can't stand the sight of his blue eyes turning gray, so I say, "I'm going to sleep. Night."

He turns off the light, and walks upstairs.

I slowly drift asleep.

Mason's POV:

Bea and I stay up late playing just dance. Rain starts pouring, and it turns into a storm. The tv shuts off.

"I guess God wants us to sleep now." I say. She laughs. Her laugh is beautiful.

"So I understand you have this crazy stalker girl who likes to bang your head into walls and kill innocent people, but you never really said why." I say. She laughs again.

"Oh yes. She wants to kill me because I stole her boyfriend." She replys

My heart stops. She has a boyfriend? Of course she does, she's perfect. I just- my thoughts are interrupted by Bea.

"I'm going to sleep. Night." she says. I turn off the lights and walk upstairs.

Tris's POV:

I awaken to the sound of my phone.

Hey gurl. You didn't show up yesterday and I just thought you were sick. You're not here today, either. Everything okay? -Christehh

Should I tell Christina? Should I? I put my phone down in guilt and search the house.

I find a room full of CD's on the wall.

He has 5sos CD's. He has Justin Beiber CD's. He has One Direction CD's. He has Ariana Grande CD's. He has Iggy Azelea CD's. Damn. This boy is too perfect.

"Hey." he says. I quickly turn around.

"I see you found my collections." he says with a smirk.

"Weird." I say as I walk out. There lays food on the table. I sit down and eat slowly.

Caleb finally joins us and my friends keep texting me.

My head gets dizzy so I sit on the couch and Mason gives me some medicine. I look into his beautiful eyes.
