Tris The Lost Criminal

Chapter 10: Confessions

"Four, Tris was your girlfriend actually to restate that you were in love with her"...

I look at him, Why is this happening to me. I sit up and finally look at my bandages they are soaked with my blood and I'm not surprised now that I passed out. Actually speaking of passed out "How's Zeke?" I question but it might have looked like a way to change the topic of conversation. He sighs and rubs his eyes and then holds the bridge of his nose. "He woke up a couple of hours ago but Lynn wasn't very nice with the knife so you just happened to loose more blood. Only you need to eat, so let get you up" he says pointing to door. He walks out closing the door behind him.

I get changed quickly out of the old cloths I was wearing and head down stairs right behind Amar. Walking down I see most of the people yesterday siting down eating. When I walk in they all tell me some form of hello and an older women walks up to me and engulfs me into a big hug. She hugs me tightly for a few seconds before releasing me.

"Four I missed you so much" she must see the confusion on my face because she is quickly to cover her act as not creepy by stating "Oh I'm sorry, I'm Natalie Tris' mother" she gives me a heart warming smile and I can see the resemblance between them. Tris is next to enter the kitchen. When she does, she never talks. She look up at me once and immediately looks back down to her plate of only half eaten food.

Later that night

I walk to kitchen to get a water. When I hear the last part of someone's conversation "Thank you Eric for understanding I'm so sorry it ended like this" it's Tris and Eric. I look out the back door from the kitchen to see them hug and then continue to talk. "You remember her don't you" a voice back ends from behind me moving to stand in the door way behind me. I already know it's Zeke. "No not really I wish I did" I admit and turn to face him. "Look if it was down to me, I would go talk to her wait until she's finished with Eric. Then go" he looks to the back door before he can say anything else both of them are in the room.

They both look stunned "Oh hey guys we didn't know you were awake" Eric says happily and says his good nights before retreating up stairs. Before Tris leaves I grab her hand. She turns to look at me. Her eyes search my face and I've lost all words "Can I talk to you for a moment" I ask her with pleading eyes she nods her head and I look over my shoulder to Zeke who mouths a silent 'good luck' before walking the opposite direction. Well here goes nothing.

Soon we have arrived in the back yard. The yard lights are still off and what seems to be the only lights are coming from within the pool. It shines brightly so there is really no need for them anyway. We stop in the middle of the walk way. As we do this she looks up to me her eyes are still searching my face for some thing, or anything.

"What's up Four" she asks crossing her arms over her chest. I take a deep breath and look at her. "I don't remember you Tris and I'm sorry" I don't honestly know what else to say. She looks at me like I'm stupid "Four I know it's fine it's not your fault" she looks to the glowing water of the pool. "I know you're in love with me" I blurt out and she snaps her head up to me with wide eyes.

"Who told you" I look down. She moves closer "Who told you" she stops moving "You just did" I say looking up at her. Her eyes now glossed over with new tears. "I know Four, it's stupid to still be in love with the guy that doesn't remember you" she pauses taking a couple deep breaths before continuing "But when ever I see your face it's just reminds me what I let go" she looks at me with sad eyes.

"Yeah Four I may still be in love with you and even if I wait a life time for you to remember me. I know that you won't want to be with me. I mean it's just not worth the trouble. I really never meant to bring you into this life but after the first day I met you in the club, I just couldn't resist you" her voice getting higher trying to make her point she looks up to me.

"Four please say something, anything I beg you" her voice softens. I step towards her and I can't think a thousand things run through my mind but only one stands out when I press my lips to hers...
