Second Chance

Chapter 15

*Four's POV*

I could not stop thinking about what I said to Tris. Did I really feel that way about her or was I just lying to myself to keep the walls up. She makes me feel like the old me back when I was weaker but I can't go back to that. I worked too hard to get where I am at now. No girl is going to change that.

I looked up and caught her eyes staring at mine. I quickly looked away and saw that Edward was coming toward me. I knew I could talk to him and he would be truthful to me. He knew me when I was weak. He gave me a look and asked,

"Are you alright Four? You don't seem like yourself today."

"I don't know Eddie." I said with a sigh.

"Eddie?" Edward looked at me confused.

I just shrugged and said,

"Thought I just try it out. What you don't like the nickname Eddie?"

"Since when do you give nicknames?" Edward asked.

"I don't know. I guess I am just trying to get my mind off of things." I just sighed and looked back up toward the dorms.

Edward looked up to see what I was looking at and saw the girls coming out of Chris and Tris' room. He gave me an 'oh I see' look and just patted my back.

"So what does the Stiff have anything to do with your mood changes?" Edward asked smiling at me.

"What are you talking about? Stiff has nothing to do with this." I quickly said.

But I think I was just trying to fool myself. Of course this has everything to do with Tris. I was unsure of myself around her. I don't want her to remember me or anything. She thinks she does not know me. That I am just the loner bad boy that wants nothing to do with anyone.

I walked pasted Edward and headed up to my room. I did not want to be in the Pit when Tris was there. I was not sure if she told the girls and I was not in the mood to get bitched at by three middle classmen. I could hear footsteps behind me. Once I reached my room there was a hand that stopped me from opening my door.
