Hi, all of you out there!
I just had to write this; ever since I read this scene I needed to!
I hope you like it, if not, PLEASE tell me why.

I was relaxing. I knew Tris would ace this, I mean, Divergent. She could get through the other simulations so easily, and this time she's know , without any things to make her forget that this was fake.
I cross my arms and lean back on the wall.
I look over at the monitors and see her in the simulation.
I see her breaking down. Screaming and crying. What?
I remember what she'd got: kidnapping.
"Stop!" I say, stern even for me. The simulation is cut off, and I charge in. She's on her knees, trembling, tears running down her face.
I grab her arm and yank her up. "What the hell was that, Stiff?"
I see her tense, as if something clicks in her. Her eyes fill with rage, and she wrenches her arm from my hand, before hitting me across the face.
In all my time at Dauntless, I have never experienced something like that.
I like Tris, I really, really do, but . . . I don't know, she let me down, and then, when she slaps me, it makes me physically hurt a lot more than even a punch from Eric.
"Shut up," she says, and storms out of the room.
I sit back on my bed. Why did I lose it at Tris?—Where is Tris?
Was it because she disappointed me? Was it because I expected more? Was it because she did so well in my Fear Landscape, that I expected her to do this without blinking an eye?
I think about my fears. Why don' I get over them? I think of Marcus, weilding his belt. Then, I have have a thought: could I not get over it because the memory of what happened is still so painful?
Did that mean that Tris thought . . . that the chasm . . .
Suddenly I feel bad. If Tris had thought of being pushed into the chasm . . . then I might have made her crack.
I've seen her crack once before. That time when she fought Molly. I still don't know what happened, but that Tris was out of control. She'd snapped. I guess Molly had really got to her.
I walk out of my room and through the Pit's endless corridors, all the way to the chasm. I lean over the railing. I wonder if Tris had seen herself nearing it, trying to be pushed over, hands holding back her arms and covering her mouth.
She'd survived because I'd saved her. Maybe she was afraid of this because she did know it was a simulation, or that she knew that, in that, I wasn't going to be able to save her.
I look back as I see Eric walking through the Pit. I follow him. Eric has something he's hiding, and I want to know where he's going.
He's going to the front entrance. He closes a door and I hear a voice.
Tris.
Ta-da! Thanks for reading! Please R&R!
Like I said, this is a One-shot. Nothing else. We all know what happens from here in Divergent.
