In case you are wondering why I only am doing the Fourtris scenes, it's because I am a total fourtris fan. FOURTRIS!

I walk into the cafeteria after Tori and Harrison, and spot Tris. As I walk over to her, I notice how nervous I am. The last time we spoke was after I made the alliance with the factionless, when Marlene was still alive.
"Hello, Tris", I say, quietly, nervously.
"HI", she responds. I take this as a good sign, and put my arm on the back of her chair, leaning close. I stare at her, hoeing her eyes will mirror what I feel- that life is too short for these petty arguments, that we should forgive and forget, because we love each other. But, no, she doesn't love me.
When she finally stares back, I can see that she just wants the pain, the sadness, the suffering, to end, but she knows that wishing for it won't make it happen, so she pushes it down, deeper and deeper. And a recklessness that was in my eyes those two years at Dauntless before I met her.
It terrifies me.
"Aren't you going to ask me if I'm alright?" Tris asks.
"No, I'm pretty sure you're not alright. I'm going to ask you to not make any decisions until we've talked about it." But I can tell that the decision is already made, and there is no changing her mind, at least not here and now.
"Until we've all talked about it, you mean, because it involves all of us", Uriah says. Poor, stupid, Uriah. Technically, this involves all of us, but not really. This would only ever effect the Abnegation that much. Me and Tris. "I don't think anyone should turn themselves in."
"No one?" Tris asks.
"No! I think we should fight back!" Uriah shouts. His Dauntlessness really takes over when he's angry. What was the other faction he had an aptitude for? I was shocked when I found out he was Divergent.
"Yeah", Tris says."Let's provoke the woman who can force half the compound to kill themselves. That sounds like a great idea."
Tris makes a good point, but Uriah says, "Don't talk about it like that."
"I'm sorry. But you know I'm right. The best way to ensure that half of our faction does't die is to sacrifice one life."
Not if that life is yours, Tris. I say,"Tori, Harrison, and I have decided to increase security. Hopefully, if everybody is more aware of these attacks, we will be able to stop them. But until then, nobody is going to do anything. Okay?"
"Okay", Tris say, not meeting my eyes.
She still can't lie, and she still has a suicide wish.
This is a line break this is a line break this is a line break this is a line break this is a line break
When I walk into my room after dinner, I see Tris on my bed. She must have come in here to say goodbye. I have to convince her to stay now, or lose her forever.
"Don't be an idiot", I say.
"An idiot?" she asks, confused.
"You were lying. You said you wouldn't go to the Erudite and going to the Erudite would make you an idiot. So don't."
She walks towards me, and it takes all of my willpower to stay mad at her.
"Don't try and make this simple. It's not." Yes, it is. Stay here with me and let someone else die for once."You know as well as I do that this is the right thing to do."
"You choose this moment to act like the Abnegation?" I cannot contain the anger, the rage I feel any longer, knowing that I am not enough to keep her in this life. "All that time you spent insisting that you were too selfish for them, and now, when your life is on the line, you've got to be the hero? What's wrong with you?"Because I can't lose you, I think. Please see that.
"What's wrong with you?" Tris counters. "People died. They walked right off the edge of a building! And I can stop it from happening again."
Maybe, but that doesn't mean that you have to. "You're too important to just….die", I say, shaking my head. Tris looks surprised, likes she didn't think that she mattered to me this much.
"I'm not important. Everyone will do just fine without me."
Not me. I lower my head into my hands, which are shaking from fear. Because she is going to die, and there is nothing I can do about it. Fear number four is coming true. But I have one last chance, one last shot at this. So I cross the room in two long steps, and kiss Tris like I use to, when I was sure of us.
Then she pulls back, saying, "You would be fine." Don't say that, I think. Stay with me. "Not at first. But you would move on, and do what you have to do."
No. I couldn't, forget wouldn't.
"That's a lie", I say. And we both know it. Tris kisses me harder, and my hopes rise. Maybe she will say. I walk backwards, so I'm sitting on the bed and she's standing. I can see her eyes, so full of guilt, pain, sadness, and wanting. Maybe I cannot take it all away, but I can try.
My hands move from her face to her waist. Tris kisses me harder, and I know that I would die if she did. That she is my one and only, my one true love, and above all, I must keep her safe. I kiss her harder, and she kisses me back.
Suddenly, I'm filled with a wanting, a wanting for Tris. For all of her. My hands brush at her side under her shirt, and she doesn't stop me. Have I convinced her yet?
"Promise me", I whisper, "that you won't go. For me. Do this one thing for me.
Because I can't lose you, even if it means compromising the safety of all of the loyal Dauntless.
"Okay", Tris says softly, but it is full of pain. I didn't think it would be this easy to convince her-I'm suspicious.
"Promise", I say, frowning.
"I promise", she says.
And as I fall asleep, I hear her say- in my dreams- "I love you." With such sadness, but such tenderness that I wake up to see the real Tris, asleep in my arms.
At least, that's what I expect to see. But it's not.
She's gone. How could I have been so stupid? Of course, she lied. She's Abnegation, would not want someone else to die for her. Even if she will kill me by leaving. So now, I have to go to the Erudite.
Well? What did you think? I personally like it, but that's just me. So please r&r! If you have any stories you want me to do, pm me or review! : )
