Tris POV

I have no choice. They yell for everyone from inside the apartment to come. I hear them all running towards the window. Without being asked, I go ahead and climb inside. All of a sudden, I'm in the middle of a giant group hug. Everyone starts asking me about what happened and where I went.

The only on who isn't in our little circle is Four. He's sitting on the couch watching us. I just shrug off the questions and go sit beside him. He looks down at the floor and blushes.

"Tris, will you at least tell us how you ended up on my fire escape?" Four asks, finally looking back up. Everyone is standing in front of the couch, staring at us.

"Fine. When I ran out of the gym, I just ran and didn't think about where I was going. And somehow I ended up in the fire escape. Actually, I was about 10 feet above you when you were trying to call me. You could have easily found me about an hour and a half ago," I say. I stand up and go to Four's refrigerator and pull out a piece of cake and a soda. When I walk back to the small living room, I see that all of the seats are taken and that Four is standing in front of the group.

"Come on, trissy poo! You can sit in my lap," Uriah exclaims. Marlene gives him the stink eye and throws a pillow at him.

"As unhappy your girlfriend is I guess I have no other choice," I say. I walk over and sit down on Uriah's lap. I sit my soda on the coffee table and begin to eat my cake. Uriah starts to grab pieces of it, too.

"Do you want this cake?" I ask.

"It would be nice," Uriah says. He pushes me into the floor and everyone starts laughing. Well, everyone but Four.

"I believe the nice thing to do would be to ask if you're alright. But I'm just going to ignore the fact that you look like roadkill and inform you that you both owe me more cake," Four says. I don't know how but he manages to keep a straight face the entire time.

"Um, actually Uriah owes me cake, too. Did you only let me sit on your lap for cake?" I ask him.

"Um, that might be part of it," he says.

"So, I was going to end up in the floor anyways?" I ask.

"Um, yeah. There was a good chance you would," Uriah says. This make the room erupt into even more laughter. Uriah just sits there and looks around like he doesn't understand the joke.

"Okay, so what was the big announcement you had to make?" I ask Four, trying to get everyone to calm down.

"OMG! Four, are you pregnant?" Zeke asks, trying to sound like an annoying girl.

"Um, no. I actually wanted to tell you all who I really am," he says.

Yay! Another update! I hope you are enjoying this story! Please tell me what you think! I will try to update again today but I don't feel very good so this might not be as high quality as I wanted it to be.

OMG! I saw If I Stay yesterday! It was good! At the end, there is just like a big white flash and someone behind yelled "What the -" and you hear that there was more coming but they stopped before something came out that they would regret. But I thought it was even funnier that it was guy.
