Tris
It's been three years since I 'died' it's kind of confusing but I think about it often. After I made Caleb give me the bag, and survived the death serum, David shot me. Then I supposedly died.But I didn't, somehow they actually saved me. When I say they, I mean Matthew and Caleb. Yes, I know it's weird. My brother, who help Jeanine almost kill me with death serum, saved me. Matthew helped too, I'm still not sure why though.
They said if David would have shot me one more time, I could be dead. I'm still furious with David but at least I'm alive. He was arrested a after I had 'died'. He was arrested for 'killing' me. David still doesn't know about me being alive. Or so I'm told. But neither does anyone else except for Matthew, Caleb, and some other workers from the bureau. I was also put in a private hospital after I got shot. After they took me out, we came to the Dauntless compound. That's when Caleb and Matthew told me I was going to be meeting an old friend. I had no clue who it could be. I was hoping Tobias or Christina but I quickly shut this idea away because I know better than that.

"So who exactly am I going to be meeting?" I ask Matthew as we ride the train to the Dauntless compound.
"Can't tell you, it's a surprise" he says. "But I think you'll be pretty shocked".
"Can't you just give me a hint?" I say getting impatient"
"Nope then you'll know exactly who it is"
"You just won't budge will you?" I say laughing "Is it someone you knew before I met you?" I ask trying to get some sort of hint
He opens his mouth and hesitates, "Yes, but only because we had been watching you"
"Hmmm" I say. I'm about to ask another question when I see the Dauntless compound. I stand ready to jump.
"You guys ready?" Caleb asks us. He has been in the other side of Matthew. I can tell he is trying to keep his distance and I'm glad. I really don't want to end up strangling him.
"Yes" Matthew says while I nod.
"1...2...3...JUMP!" I yell as we I jump. They jump after I do. I land perfectly suprisingly. I expected to stumble since it's been so long since I've been on a train. They both stumble and give me a crazy look.
"What?" I demand
"You haven't been on a train in a long time and you still landed perfectly" Caleb says.
"Guess I'm just that good" I say.
"Well lets go" Matthew says. "They are expecting us any minute". With that we all start walking to the compound

As we reach the compound I see Tris walking cautiously as if this is a trap. I want to tell her it's okay, but after everything I've done I don't. I still don't know why I did the things I did but i regret them all. I basically have no family now. I betrayed Tris and our parents are dead. I know Tris is still my sister but I doubt she thinks of me and he brother anymore.

After walking through the hallways of the compound which, seems to take forever, we reach the room where the 'old friend' I will meet is. I touch the door knob ready to go ok but I can't. I'm afraid of what is behind that door.
"Are you okay, Tris?" Matthew asks when he sees me hesitate going into the room.
"Yeah, just nervous that's all" I say
"Well take your time" he says back. After a few seconds I start to turn the knob. When I open it I see him and my voice sounds hoarse when I say his name.
"Will?" I ask not sure if I am seeing things.
"Tris" he says and I know it's will.
"But I s-shot you when y-you we're under the simulation, you were about to k-kill me" I say wanting to cry of guilt,pain,and happiness.
"You did, but the bureau was able to save me" he says like nothing even happened.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shot you...at least not in the head" I say as I break down crying."but-" he cuts me off before I can finish.
"I was about to shoot you and you had no choice" he says "Tris I understand, if you didn't shoot me I would have killed you"
"I still shouldn't have" I say still crying
"Please don't cry Tris I've forgiven you" he says as he pulls me in for a hug. I embrace him and then pull back.
"Does Christina know?" I ask
"No, but I soon we will see her again and any of our other friends" he tells me. " We were watching you guys on the city cameras, you know before you 'died' and all. I saw how close you became with your friends and even your boyfriend. Who was it again? Four...?" He says wriggling his eyebrows.
"Yes" I say laughing "Have you seen him and Christina on the cameras? How are they doing?" I ask
"Yeah, we've seen them, they are doing fine" he says "they really miss you, ya know.."
"I miss them so much" I say choking on every word trying not to cry.
"You'll see them soon" he says with a softer voice.
"You'll see Christina!" I say "I know she misses you soooooo much!" I tell him
"I know! I'm so excited! I just wish I could see her now..." he says excited at first, then becoming discouraged.
"How long do we have to wait?" I ask him.
"About 3 weeks" he says.
"Oh" is all I manage to say. 3 weeks isn't too bad but I don't know if I can wait that long.
