Divergent High

Fifty Fifth chapter

Four's POV

We get in the car and I drive to my house. The ride is in silence.

We get there and I use my key to open the door and let my "friends" in.

When we enter, we are received by the smell of homemade cookies, the smell I have gotten used to in the past year.

- Mom!! - I yell. Now I can say that word without regret, with ease, sometimes I still call her Evelyn because old habits die hard.

- Mom!! - I call again after getting no answer. Then I hear her light footsteps.

Evelyn comes out of the kitchen covered in a white thing that I assume is flour, it's a funny sight.

She looks startled by our presence, guess she wasn't expecting us, I just told her that Tris would be released today but I did not mention that I was bringing anyone to the house. She seems to get over the initial shock and she inspects each one of us

She looks at me with worry and adoration, making me feel wanted, I know she really worries about me, she loves me and treats me well not just for the guilt she must be feeling for leaving me, but because I am her son.

Then she looks at Christina with confusion, well that's understandable, she has never seen her before.

Then she looks at Shauna with a blank expression. Well she doesn't like Zeke for some reason but at least she tries to be formal with his girlfriend, and by formal I mean she doesn't talk to her or acknowledge her presence.

Then at Zeke with disgust. I don't know why she hates him so much, but I guess it has to do with the fact that I trusted him more than her at that time.

And finally she looks at Tris with relief, I think, and a mix of happiness and hurt. How is that even possible?

- Well... Tris? - She asks. Tris just nods, but I can see she is nervous and surprised that my mother had address her- I see you are better now! I am glad you are fine now, so my son can stop sulking over you.

She says the last part with bitterness, I can't believe she just said that!! I know she didn't mean it in a mean way but that was unrespectful and uncalled for.

Tris gives her an awkward smile and then looks at me, asking me with her eyes to get her out of this situation.

- Mom... Can Tris stay her until she recovers enough to travel on a plane? - I say that in one breath. It is a bold thing but I can't let Tris stay in a hotel or go back to Canada in her condition.

- We will talk later - Is all she says. And with that she walks back into the kitchen.

Well that was really awkward.

I turn to look at the rest but I don't say anything.

- Well... - Zeke says, finally breaking the silence - Shauna and I have to get going. See you later.

He goes towards Tris and hugs her, being careful with her ribs. He whispers something in her ear and she giggles. For some reason that angers me, I wish I could make her giggle but I just cause her pain.

Shauna hugs her too.

- Hope you get better - She tells her with a smile.

- We will see you at the reunion, I don't think I am coming back here. - Zeke says, looking at me.

- Bye Christina - They say at the same time.

-GOODBYE EVELYN!! - Zeke yells.

- GO TO HELL!- Is her answers.

Yup, she definitely hates him. Zeke just chuckles.

- Goodbye Four, remember to do the right thing, don't let that fade away from your memory.

And saying that he left, Shauna following behind.

- Well, this is awkward - Christina says.

She is right, this day has been full of awkwardness.

- My flight leaves in two hours so I must go.

She hugs Tris for about 3 minutes and then Tris whispers something to her. She pulls away from the hug and wipes away some tears from her eyes.

- Thank you - She says. - Recover soon Tris, don't do anything that could endanger you, please!! - She begs.

Then she turns towards me and hugs me. It feels weird but we were friends before Tris came so it was just like the old times but with a small difference, and it was that this time I was the bad guy and she knew it, you can't lie to Christina.

- Don't hurt her - She says so quietly that I can barely hear her.

She waves at Tris and then goes out, closing the door.

I sigh and turn towards Tris.

With long steps I go over her, take her face in my hands and do what I haven't done in a long time.

I kiss her.
