Tang's POV

I walked out of the room, not speaking to anybody. Besides, it wasn't like anybody I knew was there. I didn't have many friends and my other friends have too much drama to even remember my name. All I wanted was to be in my bedroom. I ran out the door and ran all the way to my house.

My parents were sitting down in the living room reading, as they always were whenever I came into the house. I wasn't in the mood to talk. I just went up to my bedroom and locked the door. Tears started streaming down my face. Was this seriously happening? Was I Divergent, or was it all a dream? I pinched myself to see if I would wake up. I was hoping I would, and everything would be normal. I would just be Tang Lee, a sixteen year old water bender. I would just live a normal life; stay in Candor and everything would be perfect. Maybe I just needed to relax. I finally left my room and went in to the bathroom. I turned on the sink faucet and let the water run. There was something about the water that just made me feel...powerful. It was the only thing I could trust now.I began to bend the water. My father always told me that whenever I felt angry, just bend, and all your worries will go away. I felt anger rushing throughout my body. The water started to rise and rise until there was a giant cloud of water hovering above my head. I laughed. I'd never felt like this before. I felt like I could do anything. I was so joyous that I didn't see when my father walked in. As soon as I saw him, I forgot the water, and it flooded the whole bathroom. Such perfect timing.

For the first time I could remember, the dinnertable was quiet. Our family was always filled with laughter and smiles. But not today. My life was on the line because of my Divergence, and I knew they just wouldn't understand. I guess my father didn't get the "No talking" memo because he started speaking.

"Some day huh Tang?"

He had no idea. I just played with my food, and made juice bubbles float into my mouth.

"Tang, your father is speaking to you." My mother said calmly. She seldom got angry, and when she did, you could've sworn she was another woman.

Couldn't they just take a hint?! All I wanted was for them to leave me alone.

"Tang, how was the test?"

I didn't respond that time either. I as concentrating on making more juice bubbles when my father said,

"ENOUGH WITH THE BENDING ALREADY!"

It startled me. My father never yelled like that. It startled me so much, I shattered the glass. All of our glasses actually.

I didn't know what to say. Whether I was Divergent or that I was sorry the glasses broke. Now was my chance to tell my parents the truth.

"Dad I'm...not comfortable talking about today. Can we just forget about it?"

I wasn't ready. I couldn't tell him. Not now, not of this made me feel sick to my stomach.

"I lost my appetite." I muttered.

I grabbed my jacket and went out the door, leaving my parents speechless at the table.

I didn't know where I was going, but I didn't want to think about today, OR tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day all teens who took the test have to go to The Hub and choose their faction. I was ready to leave. Nobody who loved me was here. I was ready to begin my new life in Dauntless. I ended up walking towards Cherry's Diner, a place where I used to go with my family every Sunday night. I decided I might as well have a last look at it. I walked in and sat in Booth 32, the same booth I always sat in. Sitting in it only brought back memories, which filled my eyes with tears. I stopped myself. Conceal don't feel. I had heard that in a movie once. The girl's power was a lot more powerful when she was scared or angry, like me. The waiter came up to me and asked me if I was going to order anything. I said no and left.

I really didn't want to go home, but I had no choice. I just went into my bedroom, where I saw my father sitting on my bed. I closed my door gently, and sat down next to him. I regretted making him feel like I didn't trust him.

"Dad, I want you to know..."

I want you to know that I am so proud you are staying in Candor." He replied smiling.

What?! Where did he get that idea?

What do you mean?

He then pulled out a letter. It didn't say much just that my aptitude came back as Candor.

"I can't stay in Candor dad. I'm Divergent."

He stared at me as if I had just murdered his family. HE then got up and walked to my door,

"Dad..."

"You are no son of mine; you are just a stranger who sleeps in my son's bed." He said with tears. He then wiped his face and slammed the door.

That hurt more than anything. All I wanted to do was curl up and disappear. Then they wouldn't have to worry. I got up and went into the bathroom. I locked the door and opened all the cupboards. Sleeping pills. I opened the bottle and shook them into my hand. I then heard a knock on the door.

"Tang? Are you in there?"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I sobbed.

My mother kicked down the door and screamed. This was not my best moment. She then walked up to me and slapped me repeatedly. It was that moment I wasn't myself. I raised my hand and slapped her back. She then hit her head on the sink and was lying on the ground. I screamed.

"MOM!"

All this just made me sob harder. All this because I was Divergent. If they had just been a little bit more understanding. My father then appeared in the door and wailed. He ran next to my mother and looked at her face. Blood was all over her forehead.

"LUNA! NO!" my father sobbed. HE then looked at me.

"GET OUT!" He then put my mom's face to his chest and sobbed even harder.

I woke up and took a shower for a long time, too afraid to go downstairs. I had to anyway. My father was at the table. When he saw me he just kept on reading the newspaper.

"Where's mom?" I said. I didn't know if he would reply or not.

"Luna is in the hospital."

I felt like crying. It was my entire fault. If I hadn't been such a pain, my mother would have been fine.

"I'm going to The Hub. It's Choosing Day." I said trying to hold back my tears.

"How could I forget? It is the day my son Tang would have been choosing his new faction, but he's gone now."

I felt like hating my father, but he was right. Tang was gone. He left and I was just some demon in his body." I suddenly wasn't so hungry. I walked out the door, knowing this would be the last time I saw my father.

The Hub was shaped like a bowl, divided into five sections. Amity was hosting this year's ceremony, so we had to sing their anthem. I never learned it but I knew it had to do with peace. I took a seat with my Candor initiates to-be. I knew exactly how this would work. Faction by faction, in alphabetical order, they would call us down from our seats to choose out faction. We would have to do a slight incision in our hand and let a few blood drops drop onto the faction of our choice. Amity started first, with us going second to last before Abnegation. I wasn't paying attention at all. All I could focus on was how this was it. My future totally depends on what happens today. I wasn't paying attention to any of the names, since I didn't know any. I fell asleep.

"Tang Lee, Candor."

My name woke me up. I stood up and all eyes were on me. I felt nervous. I walked up to the stage and stood behind the podium. There was a knife along with five bowls. Soil for Amity, a Grey stone for Abnegation, Water for Erudite, Hot Coals for Dauntless, and Glass for Candor. I picked up the knife and slit my right hand. It stung a little and out came the blood. I raised my hand above the lit coals, and let the blood drop.

Hi, I am new to writing fanfic, so if you have any ideas, feel free to comment. Rate and review if you please. I had 2 different stories for this chapter, but I chose this one because I wanted Tang to leave feeling unloved, but later on see his family will love him no matter what. I have an interesting story for Adrienne, so stay posted! I appreciate you all who read my stories. Have a good day!
