Born to be Brave {Divergent High}

Chapter 11

We sit in a circle and I'm next to Uriah and Will. “My house! I go first,” I shout. “Uriah! Truth or dare?” “Dare! I ain't no pansycake!” I laugh, “I dare you to kiss every girl you'd date in this room.” He walks over to Marlene and kisses her, then he walks over to me. He smiles and kisses me. When he goes back to my seat, Tobias looks upset. I stop thinking about it when I hear Uriah ask Tobias, “Truth or dare? ” He replies with dare quickly. “I dare you to play 7 minutes with,” he looks around the room and his eyes land on Lynn, Thank god, “Tris.”

What? I can't, but it's not my dare! Tobias stands up and walks over to me, offering me his hand. I grab it and we walk into my room. “Why do you love me Tobias? You need to forget about me! Please!” I feel a tear trickle down my cheek, but I brush it away. 

“You can't stay away from me for forever! I love you Tris! Why can't you get that through your head?! You're important to me!”

“Please! Just go to college and get a new love! Make her feel like I did, but please just forget about me! I'm not worth it!”

“Don't you ever say you're not Worth it Beatrice Prior! You are more than worth it!”

“Please go Tobias,” I say as I open the door for him. He walks out of my door and we walk downstairs, “Party's over!”

I hear some groans, but eventually everyone leaves. I walk back up to my room. “Why does my life have to be so complicated?!” I shout to nobody. I shake my head, I just need to wait a week, then maybe I'll feel better.

I wake up with a pounding headache. It's probably from all the alcohol and everything about last night. I look out my window to see Tobias's room almost empty. He leaves today. Should I be happy or upset? I close my curtain and I walk downstairs. I see a huge mess so I decide to start cleaning it up. Cleaning helps me forget about him for awhile.

I walk outside in my tank top and shorts, my hair in a messy bun. I sit on the steps and I look at my feet. I look to my left and I see Tobias packing his car. Marcus was taken to Jail, so my father is now the mayor, so they let me have this house to myself. 

Tobias looks at me, then back towards the car. He finishes getting his car loaded then walks towards his house. I stand up and I grab the doorknob, but I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I turn around to see Tobias, “Goodbye Beatrice, Be Brave,” is all he says before he gets in his car and drives away towards his new beginning.
