CH8:
Tobias POV:
It's been 20 minutes into this little road trip. Tris plugged in her headphones to her iPod and I can somewhat here the music she is blasting, even though my radio is playing. I guess she isn't a big fan of Linkin Park. My eyes are focused on the road which is pretty empty and all you see are hectares of plain fields covered in pure white snow. Tris keeps looking out the window with a focused expression. I wonder what she is thinking about. It's sometimes so hard to read her, she can be so closed off, but when I look into her eyes I can see and understand everything. It's almost like her beautiful eyes betray her. I'm starting to get weary so I crank up the radio and automatically Tris turns towards me with an annoyed look on her face as she prepares something witty to say about my music. Perfect, this argument is going to recharge me.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to listen to Imagine Dragons," She rolls her eyes as she turns down the radio, but before she reaches the knob I lightly slap her hand away. Baffled, she stares at me with those flawless eyes.
"Don't touch my radio. I'm driving therefore I control the radio. You can ask politely," I joke with her.
She chuckles lightly, "Fine. Can you please lower your music?"
"Nope," I smirk at her. The fire in her seems to be rising, as she adjusts herself to prepare for this argument.
"You just said if I ask politely you will turn down the radio!"
This time I chuckle, "I'll make a compromise with you," I begin. Tris does not seem amused like I am. "I'm not going to lower it. Instead we will both listen to Imagine Dragons. I have their newest CD in the passenger compartment right in front of you. Mind getting it?" She quickly reaches for the compartment and searches for it. When she finds it her eyes light up and I can't help but smile, a true genuine smile. Not those signature smirks I give to other girls, but a smile that only Tris brings out.
Tris swiftly opens the CD and asks, "So can I put this in or do you have to do it, since no one is allowed to touch your special radio."
"Well I guess you can put the CD in, since you are kind of special too" I quickly glance to see her expression and I spot her cheeks redden as she puts the CD and the song Bleeding Out starts to play. We start talking about Imagine Dragons and other bands that we like. It seems like this road trip won't be as bad as one might have thought.
Christina's POV:
I'm in the car with Will as he starts to talk about this book that he read last night and all I can think about is Tris and Four. I mean, what if this plan doesn't work or they get stuck in the middle of nowhere with no service. My second thoughts are taking over my mind, I need to call Zeke. I whip out my phone and dial his number while Will still continues to talk about his amazing book. After 2 rings Zeke picks up.
"Hello," he answers.
"Hey Zeke," I say nervously. Will looks over at me obviously annoyed that I'm not listening to him. He mumbles something under his breath about me never wanting to listen to his 'cool' stories, but he always has to listen to mine.
"What's up Christina?"
"Not much. I'm just a bit worried about you know what. I mean what happens if this doesn't work." Will looks at me a bit confused, but I just ignore him and face the window.
"I know. I've been having some doubts about it too. I did everything as planned there are no clues leading to what we did."
Will over hears Zeke and lightly whispers, "What did you guys do?" I just shake my head.
"What if they find out about us?" At this point Will's eyes are huge and he pulls over the car and I look at him confused.
"Don't worry Chris, they won't. Like I said I cleared everything up?" Zeke reassures me.
"Ok thanks Zeke, I just really hope they don't figure it out."
"No problem Chris, anytime. See you soon."
"Bye, Zeke." I end the call and Will looks furious.
"What the hell Chris! What's going on?"
"Why did you stop the car?" I ask confused.
"Don't change the subject!" He yells at me.
"What are you talking about?" I yell back at him. I hate it when people yell at me because I always have to get so defences.
"Are you cheating on me with Zeke? How could you!" Will screamed.
"What? What makes you think that?"
"That phone call. You were all like 'I'm worried about you know what' and 'What if they find out about us' what was I supposed to think? And you have the audacity to have that conversation in the same car as me!" I just start laughing uncontrollably. It's so sweet that Will got jealous over this.
"I can't believe," I say in between my laughs, "you thought that I would cheat on you! Especially with Zeke! Will, you are too funny." He sighs in relief and soon joins my laughing fit.
"You're right I'm sorry. But what were you talking about?" I inform him quickly of our plan. Of course he has to put in his opinion on how if it's meant to be than Zeke and I shouldn't push them to be together.
"I love you, Will" I kiss him and he kiss me back.
"I love you too Chris."
Tris POV:
I can't believe Four and I have so much in common with our tastes in music. I didn't expect it at all! We just kept talking and listening to Imagine Dragons none stop and I was really enjoying his company. He didn't try to flirt or make me uncomfortable with his smirks. Four was just being an awesome friend. As we keep driving down this lonely road, Four starts to slow down. Confused about what's happening I ask, "Why are you going so slow, the roads are clear?"
Four looks at me also confused, "I can't get it to go any faster." All of a sudden Four pulls off to the side of the road and the car just stops.
"What are you doing?" I ask him, completely flustered at this point.
"I don't know, the truck won't start back up," he says jamming the keys and slapping the wheel. "I swear this never happened before. I'll go check around the car and try to find the problem."
Four jumps out the car as I sit impatiently and he just keeps making circles around the car. After about the fifth time he has passed the passanger window I grab my jacket and jump out of the truck. I slam my door to get his attention. "What is going on?"
"I thought I said stay in the truck!" Four yells at me as he makes his way towards me.
"And do what? Watch you walk around it 5 times!" I hate when he yells at me, he gets all weird and his persona changes almost like he thinks he is more superior over me, maybe like an instructor or something.
"Tris I can handle this on my own. Just get back in," he says calmly, but I'm not buying it.
"I never said you couldn't," he stares at me with those amazing deep blue eyes. Hold it together Tris! You are in the middle of fighting and stuck in the middle of nowhere. "Maybe you should check the hood. People in movies always lift the hood up when their car is stuck."
"Tris this isn't a movie."
"I know it's not, but just go check. It's better than circling the car for an hour." I'm starting to get very impatient with him.
"There is nothing wrong with the hood!"
"Oh for crying out loud! I'll do it!" I march towards the front of the car and pop the hood. All of a sudden smoke just starts rising out of the hood. I cough and wave my hands around to stop the smoke from making its way directly towards me. As the smoke just keeps growing I feel two strong pair of arms move around my waist and see Four by my side trying to pull me away from the smoke. "Hey watch it," I say as he pushes me further away from the car. He doesn't say anything as he moves towards the hood and tries to figure out what the hell is going on while I do the same, but standing on my tiptoes to see above his shoulder. "What's wrong? Is it the engine or something?"
"I don't know. This never happened before." We both move away from the smoke that is starting to die down a bit.
"Should we call someone? I don't know anyone who knows about cars," I suggest as Four nods along.
"Maybe Zeke, I remember him talking about cars a lot so he might know."
"Ok, I'll get my phone. It's nothing too bad right? Like it's a small delay. We won't have to spend the night in the car, right?" I ask a bit flustered at the situation.
"We'll be fine Tris. Just get your phone so I can call Zeke, worst case scenario Will or Zeke will come pick us up." I nod, it will only take like max 45 minutes, I reassure myself, but I have a weird feeling things will be getting a lot worst.
Here you go guys! Sorry for the long wait I will try to update faster I'm just lacking inspiration so maybe in your reviews you can help me out by writing what you think will happen next and who knows maybe it will happen. Fourtris soon I promise.
