Divergent High

Chapter 17

(Since it's only a couple days until Christmas, here's a Sheo Christmas picture. Merry Christmas! More info at the end of this chapter;) )
---------------------------------
Tris POV:
I hate him. I hate him so freaking much. He knew about our parents but brought them up anyway. He doesn't know what our parents want. He never even spent time with them, that book worm. I hate him. I just want to get away from him.

I start to hear foot steps trailing from up the steps, but they are too light for them to be Tobias feet. I swear to God...

"Tris?" Caleb's light voice calls out. "May I come in?"

I sigh before unlocking my bedroom door and letting Caleb in. I set myself down on my bed, since my wounds are still healing from the closet accident.

"What do you want, Caleb."

He twiddles his thumbs for a few moments while staring at his feet. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry, Beatrice. I forgot how much you really cared for them, and how much they cared for you. I never took your thoughts into this matter. I didn't take your girl emotions to be so upset. Please forgive me."

'Thats it...' I thought. I raise my unwounded arm and punch Caleb in the face. He's spaced out until he slams into the wall, knocking over a few of my Track Trophies.

"You have NO idea how stupid you sounded. 'Girl emotions.' The inly reason you're not crying is because our parents never even liked you and your smart ass! They hated every thing about you! You spit this 'This is what's best for them' bullshit at me, when you yourself have no idea what you're even talking about!" By this time, Tobias was standing in the door way of my bedroom, starring in amazement.
"You are not my brother, Caleb, and will never be apart of my family. So why don't you go and move away to Susan's house and live happily there?"

Caleb is standing silent. "Goodbye, Beatrice." He whispers then leaves. I hear the front door slam shut, then I set myself back on the bed and start bawling my eyes out.

"This is great." I say between tears. "My parents are dead, my only sibling now hates me. I don't have a family anymore."

Tobias walks over to me, lightly sitting down then wrapping his strong arms around my slim waist.

"I'll be your family now."

His words make me feel calmer, even safer. No matter what, Tobias Eaton always made me feel safer. I lean into him and cry my heart out. He laughs softly and rubs my back.

"Just let it out, you'll have to give out and some point."
I giggle, then grab a near by bath towel and wipe my face. Tobias is smiling down at me, and I lean up and kiss him.

I want this kiss to last forever, knowing he will always be mine, but all good things must come to an end. When we pull away, he picks me up and brings me back downstairs and lays me on his lap.

"Sleep, Tris. You need it. It's been a long day."

I nod, and slowly close my eyes to drift away into a deep slumber.
-------------------------
Tobias POV:
Tris's breaths finally even out, letting me know that she's asleep. I smile looking down at her. Her face was red and her eyes craved more sleep without them even being opened. Her blond hair stuck to her face and shifted with every breath. I slowly move a piece of hair out of her face, being careful not to wake her up. Even while sleeping, she was so beautiful.

After awhile, I gently move her head off my lap and stand up to stretch. I walk into the kitchen where my backpack is and pull out my homework. Science. Ugh. The only people who were perfect at science were the people like Caleb.

'Whats the suns mass divided by how many times the moon circles the earth in one year?'

I slowly figure out the answer then close my book. I pull out my English assignment next.

'Write a five paragraph essay on someone who has affected a great deal on your life. Then, when done, turn it in and I will grade them and give them back. Only the stupid ones will be shared to the class- so make it good!'

I smile thinking about writing all about Tris. I take out my pencil and paper, and get to writing.

I look up at the clock and see it's been thirty minutes. I was finished with my writing assignment, and cooling my hand off with an ice pack. If I knew Tris's computer password, I would of typed it. Hopefully, when it's given back and graded, Tris can read it to herself. So she can know how much I really cared about her.

I hear tiny foot steps start to approach the kitchen. I decided to pull a small prank on Tris. I grab my bag and swing it over my shoulders. When she walks in, I make myself look like a nervous wreck.

"Finally! We are going to be late!"
Her eyes widen, realizing how long she was asleep.
"How long do I have to get ready?"
"Only three minutes! Hurry!"
She takes off upstairs, me laughing. I climb up the stairs to see her digging through her closet.

"Joking. It's Sunday."
She pushes me lightly. "Asshole. How long was I asleep?"
"About an hour or two."
She nods, then runs back downstairs and plops on the couch.

"Make me a sandwich!"
"Huh?"
She clears her throat. "I said to make me a sandwich, servant!" She waves her hand in the hair, and I smile and play along.

"Sure thing, your majesty." And I walk into the kitchen to make us both a cheese sandwich.
