Chapter 2

Four makes me feel happy, like I shouldn't be ashamed. He offered me his bed for a night, and he'd sleep on the couch, but I declined. I didn't want people to pity

me, although I'm pretty sure Four doesn't exactly pity me, just wants to look out for me. I don't know why, I'm not his little sister or anything. It's been a day since

the "incident". I've tried my best to avoid Al. It's not that hard. He doesn't seem to want to see me either. I hope he is suffering with guilt, I think to myself. Four said he

would do something, but nothing has happened yet. To be honest, I'm kind of relieved. I don't want to draw any attention to myself, and that's why I haven't told

anyone else. Let's take Christina for example: she would make a huge deal out of it and go up to Al and make a huge scene. I wouldn't stop her, because I want Al to

be embarrassed, but it's not just him that would be embarrassed. I don't want anyone to find out. Except Four, because I can trust him. I just want to find out what

he's going to do. I walk back to the dorm, getting ready for training.

I ate breakfast silently, grateful Al wasn't there. I heard footsteps behind me. I turn around swiftly. Al. He is now leaning his shoulder on the wall, his legs crossed

and a smug smile on his face. "Hey Tris. I wanted to check up on you, see how you enjoyed my company the other night." My face contorts. Anger builds up inside

me, blood rushing to my face. "You are not coming near me again! You hear me?!" I yell, pointing a finger at him. The smile on his face is gone, and he grits his teeth

together. What happened to him? Where's my friend? He puts his hands on my neck, a crazy look in his eyes. I knee him in the crotch and punch his stomach. His

grip loosens and I run away. Run as fast as I can. It's hard to breathe. I'm not sure if it's because I'm overwhelmed or the fact that Al just choked me. I go to find

Four. Him and only him can help me. I hold back the sobs and fight the tears out of my eyes. I turn the corner and see him. I run towards him and bury myself in his

arms. I'm safe, I'm safe now. "Tris, Tris look at me!" Four demands, taking my face in his hands and making me look at him. "Did it happen again?" He looks into my

eyes intensely. "Not as bad. He just tried to choke me. Four, this isn't going to stop. I'm scared." I admit, looking down.

"No you aren't, Al is just a coward." He says, and then leaves. He punches the wall on the way out, angry. Come back, I need you, I want to say. I lean back against

the wall and slide down. My head rests on my knees, and I drift off to sleep. I wake up in an unfamiliar place. I get up and look around, trying to figure out where I

am. I hear water running in a room. Must be the bathroom. The door opens and Four appears. I can't help myself. I go up and hug him, relieved. I don't know why,

but I thought that maybe Al had kidnapped me or something, so to know that this is Four's place good news. He takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh.

"I fixed the problem, Tris." He says, breaking a long lasting silence. I pull away from him and lower my eyebrows.

"What? How?" He puts a finger up to my lips and tells me not to worry about it. I stop asking. I'm just glad that I don't have to worry about Al anymore. I go to

breakfast and see Christina and Will together, giggling about something. I walk up and sit next to them. They look at my with a questioning look. "I don't wanna talk

about it." I tell them, and start eating. "Nuh uh. You are not disappearing without a reason. We were worried about you Tris." Christina protests.

"You're worried about me? Really? What about when Al was hurting me?" I argue, not meaning for the truth to spill.

"Oh my gosh, Tris what do you mean? Al hurt you?" Christina asks, a worried look on her face. Then I see him. Face completely ruined with bruises and cuts. Four did that? For me? I manage to smile a little. Al and I make eye contact, but he quickly looks down. I finally feel safe again. I finally feel like no one is going to hurt me. Christina and Will have wide eyes and ask,

"Did you do that?" I laugh a little.

"Hell no. But I think I know who did." I get up and go to find Four. To thank him. I bump into Eric. "Where are you going Stiff?" He spits at me.

"To the dorm." I lie. I rush past him and past the dorm. I see Al crying. Good, I think to myself. "Tris, wait." He yells to me. I ignore him and keep going.

"I'll hurt Christina!" He yells. I freeze. My face goes pale and I feel limb. What does he want from me?

"What did you say?" I hiss.

"I'll hurt her you if tell anyone." He repeats.

"What do you want?" I whine, feeling like crying. He walks towards me and picks me up. I'm too small and weak to fight back. He lays me down on the bed and holds

me down. I fight back and start screaming help.

"I'll hurt her. I swear to God I'll hurt her." He keeps threatening.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"You." He whispers into my ear.
