Dauntless Born

Chapter Four~ SISSY!

Tris has been in the hospital for three days. Which is good, considering the other times we have to take her. Today she comes home and we are having a big party for her. Shuana, Marlene, Uriah, Lynn, Mom, Dad, and I all pitched in and now the apartment looks like Party City.

Mom and Dad went to pick up Tris. And when they open the door we yell.

"SURPRISE!"

It scared her a little, then she laughed and hugged everybody.

After everybody left Tris, Uri, and I went to bed. We don't share rooms. My mom and dad both placed first and second in initiation, and at the time they were engaged, so they gave them a huge apartment. I tuck Tris and Uri into bed, kiss the heads, and go to my room. I stay up doing my worksheet for school then I think, 'why the heck am I doing this? We don't even have school for three freakin months and this was due two weeks before school got out!' whoops.

I climb into bed and start to doze off when the soft patter and little feet sounded at my door. I didn't open my eyes. The person opened my door, walked in, closed the door, and climbed into bed with me. Tris. I smile and I feel her shiver beside me. I open my eyes and scoot over for her. She scoots into the room I just made for her and snuggles into my chest. The fluffy black sheets and comforter come up to her chin and you almost can't see her.

I wrap my arms around her and fall into a peaceful sleep.
