One Wish

Chapter 21

Tris POV
I can't believe Peter was here. "Hey Stiff. Come here. Come with me."
"No."
"Well I guess I'll just force you." He starts to grab my arm, but then Four comes to the rescue and saves me. Peter ends up dropping me, but I get up quickly and run. Run as far away as I can. I get in my car and sit there to process what was happening. I start the car and drive home. I have to get away. I'll just spend the rest of today with my family.

"Where were you at," I get questioned by Caleb as soon as I limp in the door. My foot still hasn't completely healed.

"I had to get away for a little bit. I just want to spend the day with you guys. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, Beatrice it is. Four is coming over a little later though. I can tell him to not come if you want."

"No, Caleb. It's fine. He can come."

Ding Dong. The doorbell rings.

Caleb comes back to our game of monopoly with Four. My parents were on the couch and my foot was propped up on the recliner chair I was sitting in. Caleb was on the floor. "Beatrice."
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to finish the game?"
"No. You can go with Four. We'll finish it later. My foot's feeling better anyway. I'll just go in the backyard."
"Okay. Yell if you need anything."

I get up and push past both of them grabbing my phone and walking outside. I turn my music on and look at the pretty flowers. I start singing along. The song was Demons by Imagine Dragons.

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

When I turn around, there stands Four, Caleb, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Will, and Christina. When I notice them staring, I just quickly run past them and to my room. I start lining my boxes along the door, and grab my keys. I take out 2 big boxes and go outside to my car. I put them in the backseat and go back to my room grabbing all of my things so I'm all set for tomorrow.

When I'm finally finished, I go to the kitchen to get something to eat. I decided to change first. Into a sports bra and short booty shorts. I put my hair in a messy bun and make a sandwich. When I turn around again, I am face to face with the gang. Or should I say my old gang.

"Hey Tris," Caleb says breaking the silence. I smile at him and pass by everyone else. "Tris. You're acting immature. Yes they did some bad things, but haven't you ever heard the saying forgive and forget. Why can't you just do that."
"Because you didn't go through what I did. They called me terrible names that I don't even want to say, and some of them have bad attitudes."
"Well at least forgive them for today."
"Don't you see I can't." I shake my head, "I would if I could, but I can't. I'm leaving tomorrow. No one will care, so... I will forgive Four, Zeke, and Uriah. That's it, but just for today. Happy now."
"Yes. Now let's go get pizza."
"I can't."
"Why not."
"I'm not aloud to go out because of my foot."
"Then we'll order pizza, but the whole gang is staying."
"Whatever."

I go back to my room and take the makeup off of my tattoos. I hear a light knock on my door and open to see Christina. I show a look of disgust and about to close the door when she says, "Just hear me out."
"Fine. You have 3 minutes."

"Okay. So I honestly didn't know if that was you or not. I couldn't believe what I was seeing so I got mad. Lauren sent it to everyone's phones, so I rewatched until I realized it wasn't you. I tried telling everyone else, but they wouldn't listen. I talked to Caleb and he said it wasn't you. I felt terrible and I wanted to apologize. I understand if you don't forgive me, but I'm really hoping you do."
"I forgive you. And everyone else. Shall we."
"We shall."

And so we made up, yes, but it doesn't matter. I'm leaving tomorrow and there's nothing else I can do.

This story may seem like it's nearing its end, but I promise there will be many more chapters. Tell me whatcha think. Thanks guys.
