a/n: What up homies? This is my first fan fiction up on this site. My friend, Emmabeth, of Emmabethwritingfanfics, introduced me to the site, and encouraged me to make an account. So, I did. Anyway, I own neither divergent, nor safe And sound.

Tris POV
"I remember tears streaming down your face, when I said I'll never let you go. When all those shadows almost killed your light."
Four's arms are wrapped protectively around me as I have my mental breakdown. Although, right now, I'm not sure of anything besides that, and the fact that my face is buried in his chest, and his hands are stroking my back and hair.
"I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone," but all that's dead, and gone and passed, tonight."
I wish I were cried out. I have been here for almost an hour, and I still have trouble calming down. I seriously wish I could just get a grip. It seems to take forever, but the tears finally slow.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now."
In Four's arms, I feel safe and protected, like nothing in the world could ever hurt me again. I feel the since of relief you get when you're drowning, and you come up for that first breath of air, and that's all you want or need in that moment.
"Come morning light, you and I'll be safe, and sound."
I feel like if I let go, the world will end. I just can't seem to calm down. I can only think, "It'll be okay, Tris." And that's not enough for my mind to begin to settle down.
"Don't you dare look out your window. Darling, everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on."
I know that this moment will have to end, but I don't want it to. I want to stay here forever-to stay here wrapped up in four's embrace.
"Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone. Gone, gone."
I know that there is still a war to fight, and I know that it won't be won any time soon. In fact, by the time we when it, it'll have started another war, that's waiting in the wings to take center stage.
"Just close your eyes, you'll be alright. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."
But it can wait. It can wait until the morning. Fighting, killing, and dessstruction can all be put on hold for tonight.
"Ooooh. Oh. Oooh, oh."
Everything can wait. It can all be dealt with later, when I have the mental capacity to deal with it. For now, though, I need to prepare to leave Amity.
"Just close your eyes, you'll be alright. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."
My eyes flutter closed, and I feel myself drifting off to sleep. "I love you Tris." Four says, just before I slip into uncontiousness. And maybe I would've said it back, I probably would have, if sleep hadn't dragged me under at that moment.
"Ooooh. Oh. Ooooooh. Oh. Oooooh. Oh. Oh."
I sleep peacefully the rest of the night. Probably because I am all cried out, but that counts for something after all. Just before I wake up, the next morning, I remind myself that I can handle it. I'm ready to handle it.
a/n: Okay, so how was it? Please review and let me know. It only takes a minute, and it is really helpful for a first time author like me. Thanks. Peace out!
