Chapter 4
Tris POV
I awake the next day in Tobias's strong arms. I try to squirm out of his grasp, but he only tightens the grip around me. I sigh and bury my head into his chest. He pulls me closer. I breathe in his scent, sweat, metal, and something distinctly male. I look up at his perfect face. He is so perfect. While I am a short skinny girl who doesn't deserve him. Maybe molly was right…
FLASHBACK
I told Tobias I would be right back as he walked to the apartment. I told him I wanted to go check on Christina. I was on my way to the transfer dorm but I was stopped by molly.
"you only got first because you are with four" she hissed at me
'OH REALLY, well im pretty sure I beat the crap out of you during initiation, do you want a rerun?" I retort
Her eyes widen slightly but she quickly hides any worry.
"well just so you know, four is going to dump you because you are fat, ugly and that's why your dad didn't come for visiting day, because he hates you!" she told me
I step back, shocked
"Yeah that's right, back away stiff, Four doesn't love you, you twelve year old!"
And with that she walked away.
End
I Start to cry, I don't know why but tears are streaming down my face, soaking Tobias's bare chest with my salty tears. I guess my crying wakes him up, because he jolts up, worry evident in his eyes.
"Tris? Tris! What's wrong?" he asks me hugging me
"yesterday, molly told me, you don't love me, and neither does my family. She says you are going to dump me cause i'm ugly…"
"tris, I would never leave you." He whispered to me
"I know, but still, I need you, you are my life, without you, I am worthless" I tell him
He just pulls me in and he kisses me gently and hugs me
"im going to take a bath." He told me, and he got up to leave, but I grabbed his wrist
"don't leave me, please," I whispered
He looked at me with a troubled look "well I need to take a bath…"
"me too, but I don't want to be alone."
"fine we will do it after."
We walked down to the pit to pick out jobs, and to to get our new apartments, even though I don't need one. We make it in to the pit and we all line up in ranking order. so apparently, eric would call our name, and then we would yell our job preferences, and then he would hand us our apartment key.
After a wait of about ten m,inutes, eric and four go on to the stage. They calm down the audience and start to speak
"congratulations to all new members of dauntless, you will now get your new job/jobs and apartment." Four says to all of dauntless
"I will now call you up in ranking order!" Eric yells
"TRIS!" he yells
I walk on to the stage, "INITIATE TRAINER AND TATTOO PARLOR" I yell
"You know you can be a leader right?" he asks
"yes, but that means I have to work with you." I retort
A chorus of "ooohs" and "Burrrns" goes through the audience, but Eric ignores them
"you will have apartment D55" he says walking forward, and handing me the keys
I toss them back to him he looks surprised
"you need these, what you going to do, live in the halls?" he asks
"no im moving in with my Boyfriend" I tell him
"and who would that be?" he asks
"Four." I tell him
He turns to four "You could do a lot better." Four growls at him
"What?" he asks, deadly quiet
"I said, you could do much better." He says again
Four walks forward and puches him square on the nose.
"I TOLD YOU AT THE BANQUET NOT TO MESS WITH ME OR MY GIRLFRIEND!" he yells. Some people rush Eric to the infirmary, so Four fills in for his place. Uri becomes leader in training. Lynn become Dauntless born Initiate Trainer. Mar becomes nurse Will works in control room and Chris is a nurse and Dauntless Born trainer. Peter, sadly gets to stay in the compound as a dauntless compound guard. Oh well.
Tobias and I walk back to Our apartment and go to sleep wrapped in each other's arms.
