I'm not a GP. I'm not a GP. Being Divergent - it was all a lie. One of the most binding things in the relationship between me and Tris doesn't exist. I always embraced my Divergence, unlike many others. It may sound strange - why would you enjoy being different? Well, here's your answer: because Tris and I were different together. It was comforting to know that the two of us had the danger of Divergence under control, and we were able to trust each other and live life...different from everyone else. Maybe I'm not communicating this the right way, but it makes sense.
I stand in the room with a blank expression on my face. I have nothing to say, which is a first for me. Tris gives me a worried glance and mouths "Are you okay?" I decide that for once I'll be better off ignoring her. I leave the room and head to my bed, where I can be alone and think this whole thing through.
Moments later, Tris comes in with an angry look. "Why'd you ignore me? I was trying to help. Why can't you accept the fact that I want to help you and discuss things and make you happy?"
"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I want to be alone before you can make things better? I just need to be alone. Why can't you accept that?"
"I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem with you ignoring me." Her voice gradually gets louder. She is not yelling, but I know that one wrong word will lead to it. "It isn't too hard to just say 'I need to be left alone for a little bit.' That really isn't much to ask." Tris's arms are crossed and she gives me the look she gave me the day we meet when she said I was as approachable as a bed of nails.
"Fine. Fine. I need to be left alone for a little bit." I'll admit - it was kind of sarcastic and snobbish and...just downright provocative. Tris leaves the room with an exasperated sigh. I have the urge to yell, "Happy?" but I don't.
