A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first Divergent fanfic! I'm just letting you know that I am a fourtris shipper, but I think that at some points of the novel, Peter had a crush on Tris.
Just some things to point out before it starts:
This is slightly AU so yes, Al is alive.
To avoid faction differences, everyone passed Dauntless initiation (including Drew, Molly, Al, etc) and yes, the butterknife incident happened, but Edward and Myra are Dauntless members.
And before you all go crazy, yes, a lot of people are OOC and they're only that way for plot purposes
So enjoy!
Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine! They all belong to Veronica Roth, the amazing writer of Divergent.
I collapse in pain into a fetal position.
"Come on! Cut the drama, Stiff! I didn't hit you that hard!" Peter, my boyfriend of one year, says.
He's right. He can hit me a lot harder…
I get up, feeling dizzy.
He pulls me into a hug.
"You know I love you… I just don't like the way you talk to my friends like they're evil. They're trying to like you, Stiff…" he says while hugging me.
It's not my fault Drew and Molly hate me… And I highly doubt that they're trying to like me just because I'm with Peter…
"I'm sorry Peter… it's just that Drew and Molly tried to kill me yesterday and I was mad at them…" I say innocently.
"You should've told me that earlier so you wouldn't have gotten hurt," he says.
"And what difference would it have made?" I say choking back tears. "You knocked me out for talking to Four when I didn't know that you were in the same room!"
"That was last month, Tris."
"But you still did it."
"What matters is that we both love each other, correct?"
I nod.
"You have to say it, Stiff," he says.
"I love you," I lie.
"Good," he says and leaves our house.
I don't even know why I'm still with him. Probably because I'm scared to find out what he'd do to me if I tried to leave him…
I leave the house, locking the door behind me, and walk outside.
After I cross the street, Christina skips up to me looking really happy.
"Hey," I say with a smile.
"Hey girl! Guess what?" Christina exclaims.
"What?" I ask.
"I'M ENGAGED!" she cheers and holds her hand up, showing off the ring.
"Oh my gosh, congrats! The ring is gorgeous!" I say with a smile.
"Thanks!" she says with a smile. "And I was wondering if you'd be my maid of honor?"
"I'd love to!"
"Yay!" she cheers and hugs me.
I hug her back.
"So how are things with you and Peter?" Christina asks.
They suck. I can't leave him and I want to. He hurts me and I can't go against him even thigh I'm brave like the part Dauntless that I am.
I fake a smile and pray that Christina can't tell the difference since she's originally from Candor.
"They're good," I lie.
"You sure? Because you're with Peter of all guys…" she says.
Come on Tris… You can keep up this lie…
"I know… but he's not the same jerk he was during initiation and back in Candor. He's changed," I lie.
Christina has a look of shock on her face. "Peter? Changing? Girl I need evidence of that!"
"Will's Erudite is really rubbing off of you I see…" I say with a smirk.
She punches my arm playfully. "Tris!"
"What? Only the Erudite ask for evidence," I say and smirk. "But if you insist…"
I pull out my phone and show her a series of cute photos of Peter and me on the Hub. Why can't my relationship with him be like this anymore?
"Wow… I never knew Peter could show any sort of happy emotion except when he's won a fight…" she says.
"Neither could I," I confess remembering when the photos were taken.
But of course, it was a few months ago that Peter used to be nice to me…
"Want to come with me to Four's house? Everyone else will be there…" Christina asks.
"Sure!" I say and start walking to Four's house.
Four was our trainer during initiation and is our best friend. Along with the rest of our clique which includes Will, who is Christina's fiancé, Al, who is super sweet, Uriah, who is a lot of fun to be with, Marlene, who is Uriah's girlfriend, and Lynn, who is one of Uriah's friends.
Christina knocks on the door and Will answers it.
"Hey cutie," he says with a smile and kisses Christina.
"Hello my love," Christina says while smiling.
I let them have their moment while I'm feeling slightly jealous that moments like that rarely happen to me anymore.
They break apart and Will notices me.
"Hello Tris," he says.
"Hey Will," I say.
"Come inside guys," he says and motions for us to go inside.
Once we're inside, Will shuts the door behind us and we all sit down in a circle with the others.
"Why are we in a circle?" Christina asks.
"We're playing truth or dare," Uriah answers.
Oh god, not that game… Last time I played, I had to do a striptease in front of Peter's friends… not. Happening.
"Are you serious?" I ask.
"Yeah! Why? Are you afraid?" Lynn comments.
"No. I just have bad memories from that game…" I confess.
"Like?" Al asks.
I sigh. "I was dared to do a striptease in front of Peter's friends."
I notice Four clench his fists but wonder why…
"Who dared you to do that?" Four asks.
"Drew," I say.
"That bastard," he mutters.
"Oh. So I guess you won't be playing then?" Uriah asks.
"I'll play… just no dares like that… please…" I say.
"Of course! We'd never dare you to do anything like that!" Marlene says.
"Thank you…" I say.
"Then let's get started!" Uriah announces.
"Who's going first?" Will asks.
"I will!" Lynn announces.
"Lynn, truth or dare?" Marlene asks.
"Dare!" Lynn replies without hesitation.
"I dare you to…" Marlene starts thinking.
Uriah whispers something in Marlene's ear and smirks.
"I dare you to bellydance in the middle of the circle!" Marlene announces with a giggle.
"That soft?" Lynn comments and starts bellydancing in the middle of the circle. I know I technically shouldn't, but I start laughing hysterically along with everyone else.
"I pick next! Four, truth or dare?" Lynn asks.
"Dare," Four says.
"I dare you to flirt with… Uriah!" Lynn announces.
"But he's mine!" Marlene interjects.
"It's just a dare, Mar, you know I love you," Uriah says and kisses her.
Marlene smiles. "Good."
Four struts over to Uriah.
"Hey sexy, how you doing?" Four says using a seductive tone and winks.
Uriah laughs and plays along. "Hey babe, you looking good," he says and winks.
"Any chance I can get your number, hot stuff?" Four asks.
"Of course, its 519-LOVE-ME4," Uriah answers with a wink.
"Thanks baby," Four says and kisses him on the cheek.
"God Four, you are such a flirt!" Lynn says while laughing.
I love my friends…
"It's my turn now… Tris, truth or dare?" Four asks.
"Dare," I say.
"I dare you to let Christina text anyone from your phone," he says with a smirk.
Christina has an evil smile on her face. "Hand it over."
I have a bad feeling about this…
I sigh and hand her the phone.
She smirks. "Any ideas of who I should text?"
"Drew!" Lynn shouts.
"He tried to kill me yesterday!" I comment.
"Molly!" Al suggests.
"She tried to kill me too!" I announce.
"Guys, I think we all know who I'm texting…" Christina says and has a devilish smirk on her face.
Oh god…
"Tris' boyfriend that's deemed as evil that never seems to hang out with us?" Marlene suggests.
"Exactly!" Christina says.
"Can I see the text?" I ask.
"I gotta send it first, silly!" Christina says and sends it.
"Okay, now you can read it," she says and ands me the phone.
"Read it out loud!" Uriah exclaims.
I quickly scan it over. No. no. no. this will not end well for me later…
"Hey sexy, I can't wait to see you and your smexiness tonight winky face," I read in embarrassment.
"Christina!" I exclaim.
"Yes Tris?" Christina says with an innocent smile.
"I can't believe you sent this!" I exclaim.
"I know… I was actually copying it from a text I sent Will yesterday," she says.
"Christina!" Will says with a huge blush on his face and punches her arm playfully.
"Sorry baby…" she says and kisses Will on the cheek.
"Moving on!" I announce. "Christina! Truth or dare?"
"Truth," she says.
"So Candor…" Four comments.
"I can't help it!" Christina says.
"Anyways… what was your most embarrassing memory?" I ask.
"Oh god…" she says.
"You have to say it… you were Candor after all," Lynn says.
"And I let you text my boyfriend!" I exclaim.
Christina sighs. "Will, you will hate me for this, but I was going to send a flirty sexy text to Will, but then I accidentally sent it to Caleb instead."
"WHAT?" Will and I exclaim in unison.
"It's not my fault boobear sexykins and Caleb are right next to each other on my contact list!" she defends.
Will sighs and puts his arm around Christina. "It's okay… I still love you," he says.
"I love you too," Christina says and kisses him.
"So Uriah… truth or dare?" Christina asks.
"I'm going to say truth," Uriah says.
Lynn gives him a weird look.
"I got one… it's slightly embarrassing, but who cares? We're all friends here so whatever… Uriah, where is the strangest place you have ever had sex?" Christina says and smirks.
What goes on in this girl's mind?
Uriah and Marlene blush in embarrassment.
"Do I really have to answer that?" Uriah asks.
"I ranked you second for a reason. Now answer," Four says.
"Fine… I might've done it on the bathroom floor in Zeke's house," Uriah confesses and hides his face in embarrassment along with Marlene.
"The bathroom?" Al questions.
"None of the bathrooms were available, and before you ask, yes this includes Uriah's room, and well… we ended up doing it in the bathroom," Marlene explains.
"You horny little fuckers…" Lynn mutters.
My phone goes off.
"What did he say?" Christina asks and smirks.
I scan it over:
Get your ass home you bitch.
"He wants me to go home," I say and pout.
Uriah punches me playfully in the arm. "I think we all know what's happening next," he says with a wink.
Everyone laughs.
"At least it won't be on the bathroom floor!" I snap back.
"That was one time!" Marlene interjects.
"Whatever," I say and get up.
"Bye guys!" I say.
"Bye!" everyone says.
I walk out the door and to my house.
Fuck… Peter is going to kill me…
"What the fuck was up with that text?" Peter says.
"I was playing truth or dare with my friends and I was dared to let Christina text anyone from my phone so she sent you that," I say.
"I can't fucking believe you, Stiff!" Peter exclaims.
"At least she sent that to you rather than someone else!"
He slaps me hard across the face.
"What was that for?" I ask.
"For being a Stiff and not being able to send that on your own!" he exclaims.
"I was playing truth or dare with my friends! You really think that the first thing I think about when I sit in the circle is 'hold on, let me send my boyfriend a flirty text'? NO! I sit down and pray that nobody dares me to strip!"
"Tris! You don't need to worry about anyone daring you to strip… Drew's over it."
I sigh and hug him, giving into his mood swings. "I know… it's just that… it scarred me…"
He pulls me into his arms and hugs me tighter. "I'm sorry… next time he won't do something like that… I promise."
"You sure?" I ask.
He kisses my forehead. "Positive."
"Thank you," I say and kiss him on the lips.
"I love you Tris…" he says.
I don't love you back.
"I love you too," I lie, praying he won't be able to tell since he's originally from Candor.
He smiles.
"Oh and I almost forgot to tell you! Will and Christina are engaged!" I announce with a smile.
"Really? That's great!" he says.
"I'm the maid of honor!" I cheer.
"Who's the best man?" Peter asks.
"I don't know… probably either Al or Four…" I say.
"That makes sense…" he says.
"Yeah…" I say realizing how awkward this conversation is.
Peter's phone goes off and he looks at it. "I have to leave… Drew and Molly are going to see if Molly's pregnant or not…"
"Can I come?" I ask.
He punches me in the eye. "Are you stupid, Stiff? They tried to kill you yesterday and now you want to go on an adventure with them? You're staying here and that's final!"
"FINE!" I say and walk to the kitchen to get an ice pack for my eye.
"Bye Stiff," he says and leaves the house.
I get an ice pack from the freezer, put it on my eye, and take a nap with it on my eye, praying that it'll help.
My name is Tris Prior. I met my boyfriend during initiation. He seemed like a prince when he first asked me out and turns out he isn't. He's a bully. And I can't leave him…
