Tris's POV
I never thought that I would be deciding to stay in Abnegation on my choosing day. I thought about being Dauntless but the thought of me being an adrenaline junkie was not one that I could see. I lay there in my bed all ready to leave waiting to be called, I wanted to think just a little bit longer if this will be the right choice. Than I hear my mom call for Caleb and I to come downstairs to leave, pulling me from my deep thoughts.
"Beatrice, hurry up we are going to be late if we wait a moment longer."
"Yes ma'am I am coming."
I reach the end of the stairs and I am surprised by the embrace my mother has pulled me into. She says " Beatrice no matter what you choose we will always love you no matter what." I can hear the sorrow in her voice. She knows that at least one of her children will be leaving her today.
While I was thinking earlier I came to the decision that if Caleb leaves I will stay and if not then I will go, not wanting my parents to be entirely heart broken.
Tobias' POV
My father is giving the speech at choosing ceremony today, and although I no longer live with him I am being forced to go. I regret my decision of staying behind and living in Abnegation. It felt right at the time. As well as forced. I should've left. What could Marcus do if I was no longer in the same faction as him? Why didn't I think of that on choosing day?
As I slowly approached the building were they have always held choosing ceremony I let out a sigh knowing I would see my father soon and headed up the stairs with the rest of the Abnegation. That is when I spotted her. Fragile and bird like, she walked with her head down not wanting to be noticed, unsure of choices to come. But I noticed her, she stood out to me. The baggy Abnegation dress hung loosely off her small body. I must find a way to meet her, I thought to myself. She is the most beautiful Abnegation girl I have ever seen. And the most selfish thing I have ever done other than wishing to be away from Marcus was want her to stay in Abnegation.

Tris's POV
We walked up the stairs like always. When someone bumped into me. I muttered an apology and looked up to see beautiful blue eyes. He apologized and continued walking, but he didn't wander to far from me. He was tall and handsome for someone in Abnegation. I wondered if he was choosing today as well. "No stupid he looks like he is a couple years older than you!" My subconscious reprimanding me.
We file into the chairs in the Abnegation section , dad, mom, Caleb, me. I look to see who is sitting beside me and it is him. He looks over.
"Good afternoon."
"H-hi." I stuttered.
I'm still staring at his beautiful face when I notice his body tense and the room settle. I look up to see Marcus Eaton , one of the leaders of Abnegation, standing onstage ready to start his speech...
