Will's POV

It started out with the leap. As I was flying through the air She caught my eye. The sun bounced off her face as she soared through the , I was terrified but, I had to keep going I knew I had to keep going… so I could meet her.

The first time we met she thought I was just another arrogant Erudite. It was the first time I felt heart-ache when she looked at me like I was just another Erudite transfer waiting to correct her. I wasn't, I knew I wasn't. I left my faction to get away from that. To get away from the "I'm smarter than you" mind set. I was trying to help her hold the stupid gun correctly, not make her feel stupid! I had screwed up, and I felt lost.

She began to accept me and soon we were the best of friends. And then came the fight. It was with Al one of our friends. Christina and Tris were sure he would knock me out instantly and were pleading me not to fight. But I had to. I had to win to prove to Christina that I wasn't just the scrawny Erudite kid she thought I was. Eric started the fight and I landed a few strong hits but then everything went downhill. Al pummeled me and soon I had a bloody nose at least 12 bruises and what I thought was a broken rib. Al soon stopped saying to eric that he had

When she was dangling over the chasm my heart stopped. I would have traded places with her at any time. I didn't care if i would die. … Funny subject… dying seeing where I am right now. Anyway, each time the spray hit her back I would pray. Each time one of her fingers slipped I felt my stomach lurch. It was the worst day of my entire life.

And then came the first kiss. Neither of us had expected it at the time but, it all started over a piece of Dauntless chocolate cake. We had both gotten hungry in the middle of the night and we were both confident we could steal a piece of chocolate cake left. It just so happened there was only one piece left. "What are you doing here?!" she hissed as we entered the room. " "Stealing some dauntless cake" I whisper. "That's what I'm doing!" she said "Well we have to settle it in some logical way." I said. Our eyes both landed on a box of Strawberry Pocky. "Pocky game" we both said. Now we were tired but I knew completely what would happen if we tied. Christina didn't seem to care, she was too tired. We both put one end of the pocky into our mouth. We keep biting on our end keeping the Pocky in our mouth and our lips touch. I take no time to embrace the kiss fully it lasted a full minute. this was the best minute of my life. Christina soon realizes what we just did and begins to run out the door. "Christina WAIT!" I say a little too loudly she stops and turns around. " Wha-what do you want" she stutters. "Christina" I say " I love you" Our relationship stayed unbreakable from that point onward.

Finally, the tattoo. It was before this. I had gone to the tattoo parlor yesterday knowing in my subconscious that something was going to go wrong. I didn't know what, but I needed a symbol. The tattoo I got was a flaming scale… right over my heart so I could remember now that the simulation has stopped I remember my times with her as I die… and I regret nothing.
