Born to be Brave {Divergent High}

Chapter 6

One month later

Tobias and I have never gotten back together, but I still love him. He went back to making out with different girls everyday, and I still haven't forgotten him. I know it's silly of me to break up with him because he's going to collage, but it's better he forgets me now. I try to look away when I see him but his mesmerizing eyes pull me towards him.

I walk out of my last period and I head out to my car, but when I get there, Tobias is sitting on the hood of it. “What do you want Four?”

“Why did you break up with me?”

“It's over, shy do you need to know?”

“Well I'd like to know why the love of my life broke up with me out of nowhere.”

“You're going to college in a few months, so it's better to forget about me now.” I look away trying to hide my face. “I can't just forget about you like that Tris.” I shake my head, “Just please, let me go.” He nods and I open my door and I hop in.

When I get home I walk to my room. I see all the pictures I never got rid of, until now. I gather the pictures, then I walk downstairs. I light the fire place and I let the heat warm my face. I pick up the pictures of us, and I toss it into the fireplace, a tear streams down my cheek.

When they are done burning, I put up the fire and I walk back up to my room. Tobias is on his bed watching T.V., then he looks at me. I rush over to my window and I pull down the curtain, but when its half down, I mouth the words, ‘I love you’, then I close the curtain.

I feel my cheeks rise with heat and my eyes become glassy. I shake my head and I lay on my bed. “I just need yo forget about him, like he needs to forget about me. I walk downstairs and I see my mom and dad cooking dinner. “Hi mom, hi dad,” I say with a fake smile. “What's wrong?” “Nothing,” is all I say while shaking my head. “Is it Tobias?” I nod my head. “You never did tell us why you two broke up,” my mother says gently. “There was some problems between us, okay?” She nods her head and continues cooking. I walk back upstairs and I look at my phone. There's so many texts from Tobias I haven't read. I shake my head and throw my phone into my bed.

A few hours later

I just need to clear my head and walk around. I grab my phone and a jacket and I walk outside. After about 5 minutes of walking, I bump into someone. “Hello Tris, how are you?” “Hello Justin, I'm fine, you?” He nods his head and I stare at him for awhile. He laughs and so do I.

“So what are you doing walking this evening?” “Just clearing my head for a little, you?” “I just like taking walks,” he says with a laugh. I smile and so does he.

We walk and talk for a little bit then he asks me, “Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow? ” I'm still in love with Tobias, but maybe this will help me get over him. “Yes, I'd love that,”  I say as I start to walk forward again. He smiles and we talk until we get home. “I'll see you tomorrow Tris,” he says as he starts to walk away from my house. I smile like an idiot, then I walk into my house.
