Divergent High

Twenty Second chapter

Tris' POV

- Tris - He said in a serious voice - We need to talk.

Oh no, that's always bad. Is he pregnant? Please don't let it be that!

- About what? - I asked.

- College - He said.

- What about it?

- Well.... Remember we talked about it, and we decided that we were going to a college in Canada, together. -

We talked about that when we started dating, the school year was almost over and we will graduate in a few months.

- Yeah... - I was starting to get nervous.

- I am not going anymore.

What? This couldn't be happening, we both applied there and we have already been accepted.

- I- I d-don't understand - I said, stuttering a bit.

- I am going to Atlanta to study there. I'm sorry.

- Why? We have it all planned!! - I was yelling by the end of the sentence.

- Yeah but my mother lives there and she wants to spend time with me.

- I thought you didn't know where she was!!!?! - I was about to collapse, I didn't even realize that I have started crying.

- I lied. I didn't want to see her but she explained to me what really happened and I forgave her. - He was desperate too, trying to make me understand but I couldn't.

- So what do you want from me? - I finally ask.

- You could come with me, we could both study there, we could live together. - He attempted to grab my hand but I moved it away.

- I am from Canada, I don't belong here, my brother is going to Canada, I haven't seen him in so long I- I just can't leave him, he's my family!!

- Well I found my family!!! So you don't have to leave yours but I do!? It's not fair!! Not everything revolves around you!! - He yelled in my face. I flinched back in fear, in that moment he reminded me of John when he was about to hit me. I looked at him and he had a expression of pure horror.

- Did you... Did you think I was going to hit? - He asked with disbelief. I stayed silent.

- Why? - he asked.

- I better go - I stood up but he grabbed me by my elbow before I could go.

- Tell me - He demanded, our preview argument temporarily forgotten.

- Our lives aren't that different - Was all I said. I got out of his house and drove home.

When I got out of the car someone put a blindfold on my eyes and grabbed by my shoulders. I started screaming but someone covers my mouth with their hand and started dragging me somewhere.

By the smell I assume we are in an alley, I bite hard on the hand that's keeping me from screaming, I taste blood.

- Ahhhh she bit me!! - Someone said. I didn't recognize the voice, I start kicking and punching.

- Shut up!, grab her!! - Another voice said. I have heard it before.... Peter? That was his name I guess. Someone grabs my legs and another pair of hands grabs my arms and another my waist. They are 3.

I managed to kick one of them and heard a familiar groan. It was Al's. Why was he doing this? I thought we were somewhat friends. I kept moving until they throw me hard to the ground.

I take this opportunity to take off the blindfold but as soon as it was off someone punched me hard on the face, almost breaking my jaw. I opened my eyes, previously closed from the impact and saw Peter, Al and another kid, Drew or something like that.

Al and whatever his name is grab my arms and legs and peter starts punching and kicking me everywhere. After what seems like an eternity he stops.

- What are you doing this? - I try to say but it came out more like a whisper. I start coughing and a few drops of blood came out of my mouth, uhhh that's not a good sign.

- Remember! The accident that killed your mommy and daddy!?? Well it killed my dad!!! Your parents killed him!! And I am getting revenge!.

I was shocked!! The man from my dream, the one driving the black car, it was his dad!!!

- I should kill you - He continued - But first we want to have a little fun.

I couldn't move, their grip was so tight. Peter kneeled beside me and started touching my legs, my thighs, he started touching under my shirt and kissing my neck.

I started screaming and crying and trashing but It was useless, he continued and then came Al's turn. He torn off my shirt and kept touching me.

Suddenly he stopped and I felt the grip of my arms and legs gone. I opened my eyes, I didn't realize that I closed them and saw a figure standing above me. I crawl back to the end of the alley and started sobbing uncontrollably.

- Tris - The person  said.

- Please don't hurt me please - I screamed. The person, who was a guy, grab my arm but I moved away.

- Don't touch me!!! - I yelled.

- Tris, is me!! Zeke!! Please.

Zeke? I looked at him and in fact it was Zeke. He put one arm under my legs and the other on my shoulders and carried me to a car, all this time I was sobbing in his shoulder, I try to cover myself a little bit since I didn't have a shirt on but it hurt so much to move, I couldn't take it any longer so I passed out.
