City of Chicago High (Divergent)

Chapter 14

Tris P.O.V.

Last night, I stayed at Tobias's apartment for another two hours after our friends left. We just talked and played for x-box until I almost fell asleep. Then, he drove me home. I feel really bad about dating Eric. I think I'm going to end it with him becuase I do like Tobias a lot more. I just don't know how to tell Eric that I'm breaking up with him to be with his secret brother. I called him ealier. We're meeting at the pond at the park.

I drive to the park early and walk to the pond. I go on the small, wooden dock, take off my flip flops, and sit on the edge with my legs hanging over the side. My legs are hanging in the water and is cold on my legs. I kick the water with my bare feet and think. I'm so deep in thoughts, I almost didn't notice that Eric had came over and sat next to me.

"Hi," I say.

"Hey," he says. We sit in an awkward silence for a few minutes just staring at the water.

"Eric, we need to talk about last night," I say, not looking at him. I can feel him look over at me. I'm scared of what will happen if I look at him.

"Yeah, I think we do need to talk about the dance," he says.

"I'm sorry about what happened. Just after he kissed me I locked up and-" I start. He interrupts me before I can finish my thoughts, though. I down and look at my hands.

"Tris, It's not your fault. I knew it was going to happen. I saw that you two had sparks. And, it felt like we didn't. I knew that you and Four had something that was more than just a friendship even though we were dating," he says.

"What do you mean by saying all of that in past tense?" I ask, finally looking up at him.

"You asked me to come here so we could break up, didn't you?" he asks. I just nod. We sit in silence for a few more minutes.

"Tris, did you ever love me?" Eric asks.

"I. . . I don't think so. Did you love me?" I ask.

"I don't know. But, I am definitely upset about this, even if I did see it coming."

"I'm sorry, Eric."

"Christina, why can't I stay home and watch glee all day?" I ask Christina over the phone.

"Because everyone will miss you," she says. I'm sitting on my couch in my pajamas, watching my favorite tv show, Glee. When I came from the park, I saw that there was going to be a marathon of Glee episodes on Fox so it was required of me to clear my schedule and watch it.

"I know, but I'll miss Finnchel. Finn and Rachel are-" I say.

"Just record it and get your butt to Four's house!" She says, then hangs up. I moan but cut off my tv and walk upstairs. I put on an old gray tee-shirt with the school's logo on it and faded jeans. I put on my old black converse and head down stairs. I yell at my mom to tell her that I'm going out and grab my red hoodie. I go out to my car and drive to Four's house.

When I get there, I see that everyone's cars are in the parking lot. I decide to go up the fire escape and trick them. I climb up the latter and stand on the small balcony outside the window to the living room. I look in and see that they're surrounding the island in his kitchen. I knock on the window and run to the bedroom window. I check to make sure it's open and, as usual, it is. I climb in and run to the kitchen. They are still at the window. I jump up on the island.

"Hello, everyone," I say. They all turn around. And walk to the kitchen.

"Hey, Tris! When did you get here?" Uriah asks.

"Well, You see I knocked on the window and climbed in through Four's bedroom window. You really need to lock your windows, Four," I say. He blushes and gives me a mean look.

"Okay, why am I here? You interupted a glee marathon!" I say.

"Wait! There's a glee marathon?" Uriah asks excitedly.

"Yes! And it was the really good episodes, too!" I say.

"Aw, man! I mean cool," Uriah says. We all laugh.

"Okay, truth or dare time!" Zeke says.

I hope you enjoyed this! I was actually watching Glee when I was writing this so... yeah. Please review!
