Author's Note:

I do not own Divergent Veronica Roth does!

Also, I deleted chapter nine and decided to take a new direction with the story. I felt stumped at that spot in the way I took the story and though this would open the doors again. Plus it didn't help with the direction I initially wanted.

I hope you all are not mad.

Please leave reviews tell me what you think! It encourages the writing process.

Tris POV

I blink my eyes open unsure if last night was real. For a moment I believe it wasn't and expect to fell Caleb shaking me awake to prepare for yet another day of experiments, but just as that thought crosses my mind I feel Tobias trace his fingers along my side and whisper, "Good morning beautiful."

I smile and turn to face him. "Good Morning Tobias." I nuzzle my head into his chest. His smell consumes my nose. The past two years I have woken up to white walls but this right here is what I missed the most.

He lips my chin up so our eyes meet and gently places his lips on mine. I feel an electric chill go through my body. I place my arms around him pulling him closer and as I do this his kiss becomes rough and full of want.

At this moment there is a knock on the bedroom door. We both stop kissing and he places his forehead to mine as he let's out a growl. "I took it upon myself to make some breakfast. Whenever you two want to get up out of bed feel free to join us." Caleb yells into the closed door.

Tobias leans forward and kisses me but before anything else happens our stomachs growl in unison. We both break the kiss and begin to laugh. Still with our lips touching Tobias mumbles, "I guess we should go eat."

As much as I would love to stay here kissing him my stomach let's out another growl and I nod. He walks to the restroom and I rummage through his dresser looking for a change of clothes.

Sitting on top of his dresser is a napkin. Amy 555-983-6678. My stomach drops to the ground. Amy must be someone Tobias is dating.

I feel tears filling my eyes. I shouldn't feel this way. It's been two years. I glance to the figure in the restroom. Tall. Muscular. Handsome. Of course, who wouldn't be interested in him.

Tobias is nearly finished brushing his teeth. I quickly place the napkin on the dresser and change into the clothes still thinking of Amy.

I feel Tobias wrap his arms around my waist as his chest aligns to my back. He begins kissing my neck. "I love you, Tris."

Still thinking of Amy all I can do is turn around and smile. He kisses me on the lips grabbing my hand and directing me towards the kitchen.

When we walk into the kitchen Caleb and Cara are sitting at the table. I notice Caleb holding Cara's hand as we approach but he quickly removes it when he catches me glance towards them. "Good Morning brother." I smirk his way as I see Cara's cheeks turn a bright red. I hunch behind Caleb and hug him from behind.

"Sleep well?" Caleb asks and looks between Tobias and I. I gently push the back of his head as Tobias hands me a plate with food.

Caleb smiles at me as I sit in the empty chair next to him.

I should love this. Tobias is here. I have a piece of my family left in Caleb. Cara has become a good friend. Yet, still I can't help but be angry with Tobias. I want to know more about Amy. Who is she? Why hasn't he mentioned her.

Tobias POV

Tris smiles at me from across the table. I am still letting it soak in that she is here. Alive. I sometimes find myself pinching my leg as a reminder that all this is real.

I never thought I would ever see Caleb and Tris laughing together or Tris playfully rubbing Caleb's hair as he picks on his sister.

Heck, I honestly never believed I would forgive him for what he did to my Tris. But my conversation with him last night changed all that.

(Flashback)

Tris is alive. I can hear her breaths rhythm out signaling Tris is finally asleep. I find myself staring at her. She is so beautiful. My admiration is interrupted by a knock on the door.

I crawl out of bed slowly and quietly walk towards the door hoping not to wake Tris.

"Uh-I" Caleb is standing there. I can't help but still glare at him with anger forgetting for a moment that he is the reason Tris is alive.

"Shh… Tris just fell asleep." I slowly close the door behind me as I step out of the room and into the living room. Caleb glances at me and notices I am not wearing a shirt. His faces screams protective bother but before I open my mouth to snap at him Caleb's face changes.

"Sorry," Caleb lowers his voice. "Cara is sleeping on the couch and I was wondering if you had an extra pillow and blanket so I could lay on the floor?"

I walk over to the small closet and pull out an extra pillow and blanket handing it to Caleb as I turn back towards the bedroom.

"I'm sorry Tobias." Hearing Caleb say Tobias causes me to jerk my head back towards him.

"Uh-I mean Four. I guess hearing Tris call you Tobias these past two years have stuck with me." Caleb smiles as he holds the pillow in his hand.

I let out a sigh. "Why are you saying sorry?" I completely ignore the fact that he called me Tobias.

Caleb takes a step towards me, lowering his voice as Cara shuffles on the couch. "For being a selfish asshole. Even though Bea-Tris hated me it was my brotherly instinct to become protective of her the moment I saw you two together. Sure, I may have let Jeanine manipulate me into turning Tris in but she was my sister all these years and I still loved her. I always thought your intentions with her were something more." He pauses eyeing me before he decides it's okay to continue. "These past two years with her however have showed me that she loves you more than I believe she even loves herself."

I feel blood rush to my cheeks causing me to look down to my feet but standing here with the lights out and only the moon shining through the windows Caleb clearly doesn't notice as he continues not noticing.

"It was the thought of seeing you again that truly gave my sister the strength to keep fighting. The strength to never give up hope that we would one day leave our prison. I know you still don't know me and probably don't trust me. But I hope you understand that people can change for the better if given the chance. People can help mend other people. Tris helped mend me."

I look up at him my eyes wide as I recall telling Christina these exact words not too long ago.

"Tris brought me back from my selfish ways. Although I am still working on being selfless. I can't imagine ever hurting her gain. She is truly all I have left in this world. She is the reason I am still alive. She is the reason I am a better person." I look at Caleb. Christina told me the same thing before I took the memory serum hoping to forget Tris so I could rid myself of the pain. I stand here now eyeing Caleb knowing that Tris has had the same effect on her brother that she has had on me.

"I hope that with time you can see that I am different. That I do love my sister more than I have ever loved her. I am her older brother. My father always told me it was my job to protect her…trust me those words have a whole new meaning now. My parents sacrificed their lives for us. I understand that family is one of the most important things we have in this world. Tris is the most important person in my life right now. " Caleb finally pauses, his fingers ripple up and down on the side of the pillow signaling he is waiting for a response. I can see his eyes staring at me in the moonlight.

"Caleb, I forgive you." If Tris can forgive him then I can to. "I'm glad Tris and you have become close again. Know that I love Tris more than I have ever loved anything in my life." I pause realizing I am confessing my love for Tris to Caleb.

Caleb's shoulders relax. "I know and I am thankful for that." He reaches out his hand.

Although, we both grew up Abnegation we have now become very familiar with a handshake. I reach out and shake his hand.

"Goodnight."

"Night Caleb."

(End of Flashback)

As the three of them engage in conversation I catch myself just staring at Tris. The way she pokes at her eggs. How her lips curl when she smiles. Her eye glowing with happiness. The sound of her laugh sends butterflies through my stomach.

I feel as if all the memories I felt slipping away these past two years have been retouched like an old tattoo.

Tris must of felt my eyes burning on her face because she turns to me and gives a questioning look. I just smile at her and she smiles back blowing me a kiss.

"The kitchen table is for eating not for kissing." Cara scolds and we all erupt in laughter.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. These new cell phones we got from beyond the fence has been really handy in keeping contact with everyone.

I pull my phone out and notice I have a new text message. Amy.

I had completely forgotten all about her. My girlfriend.

I feel my heart rate speed up as I click to open the message.

Amy: Hey, haven't heard from you since our special night together. Miss you.

I delete the message and guilt rushes through my body. I haven't had time to tell Tris about Amy. Technically, I have been cheating on Amy since Tris came back. I mean I did ask her to be my girlfriend out impulse of wanting to be able to move on. But I don't regret for a moment having Tris back in my life. I don't want to loose her again. I won't loose her again. Will she hate me if I tell her about Amy? Should I just break up with Amy and not tell Tris?

My thoughts are snapped back to reality as there is a loud pounding knock on the door.

I catch Tris scooting her chair back but before she has the chance to rise to her feet I am already walking towards the door. My heart races as someone knocks again. What if it is Amy? "Oh no don't worry, I'll get the door."

I am relieved when I see Zeke standing with all our friends on the other side of the door.

"Wow Four, you look like you just saw a ghost." Zeke smirks.

Uriah chuckles, "Technically he did see a ghost. Tris was dead not too long ago and now we hear she is alive."

"Oh come on Uriah it's a little too soon for that joke. We haven't even seen Tris." Zeke smirks at his brother as Christina punches Uriah on his side.

Tris POV

I stand from the table and immediately realize Christina has told everyone about my return. Before I even reach the door I feel Christina hugging me again as if she didn't see me the night before.

Christina's grip is so strong I feel all the air inside my lungs leave my body. She chuckles realizing this and let's me go. "I have missed you so much too Chris. But I did see you last night."

"You promised you wouldn't leave me." Her voice turns stern for a moment but then she lightly places her arms around me again. "However, I forgive you."

I rest my head on her shoulders closing my eyes for a moment.

"Move over and let me see Trissy. You already had your reunion last night." I open my eyes and see Uriah reaching out to me. My eyes widen and I literally jump into his arms.

"Uriah!" My voice is so high pitch but I don't even care because I am beyond happy to see my friend. The last time I saw him he was strapped to machines fighting for his life. After Chris told me he was alive last night the sight of him finally assures it is true.

Uriah steps back still holding my arms. "You know Tris, you look older. A really good older." Tobias punches Uriah in the arms as he chuckles. "Hey! I'm only complementing my friend." At this moment I see Marlene come to Uriah's side.

I have never been the hugging type but I immediately reach out to her. As she wraps her arms around me I see her leaping off the building before my thoughts can wonder deeper in the dark image Marlene's voice wipes that memory away.

"I've missed you Tris." She smiles at me.

"How are you here?"

"The jump didn't kill me but it did break a lot of bones. I would be lying if I said the next morning I didn't feel it. However, since I was under stimulation the pain wasn't immediate. The Bureau had some members in the city that night and managed to help me." I don't even know what to say I just pull her in for a hug again.

I am interrupted when a hand is placed on my shoulder and I realize it is Will.

"Hey there Tris." His eyes beaming at me as he places his around me.

I feel tears building in my eyes. "Will I-" I can't even open my eyes I just bury my head deeper into his shoulder. "I thought I killed you."

He takes a step back and chuckles. "Technically you did. I am Divergent. I was saved before I bled out and wasn't allowed to return. I'm sorry Tris I really wanted to rid you of all the guilt but they didn't allow me to return. I couldn't even stand seeing you and Christina fight about it." Will's eyes are sincere.

"Okay, okay enough of this sad emotional stuff. " Zeke smiles at me. "Hey, Tris glad to see you are alive and back with my buddy here." He places an arm around Tobias. Tobias smiles and walks toward me standing behind me and pulling me closer to him.

Shauna walks towards me. "Shauna you can walk?" My voice is a little too surprised and I place my hands over my mouth embarrassed by my reaction. I feel Tobias laughing against my back and Shauna smiles at me assuring me I didn't say anything wrong.

"Thankfully, Cara and Matthew invented these awesome casts that helped me learn to get feeling in my legs again. I had a few rehabilitation classes and your lovely boyfriend here helped me get back into shape with a few months of training." I smile and look up behind me at Tobias. He smiles down at me and kisses the top of my head.

The reunion is so unreal but I am happy to finally see everyone again. As the conversations swarm the room I see a tall figure standing by the door. Al.

Tobias grip around me grows tighter as Al approaches us. He looks nervous and uneasy. I knew he was alive but seeing him I don't know how to feel.

Al stands in front of me rubbing the back of his neck. "Uh-um…Hey Tris."

"Al, I-" He cuts me off. "Tris I am sorry. I don't even know what to say. Not a day goes by that guilt doesn't run through my body. You were the one who sat with me when I had my breakdown. You calmed me down." I can feel Tobias tensing up. "I should of never let those feelings get mixed with my fear. I was a coward. Once the Bureau took me I learned a few things about myself… I Changed. "

I can see Al's eye searching mine waiting for me to speak. One thing I learned being held prisoner with Caleb is that sometimes people make choices based off their fears. Sacrificing myself instead of Caleb and later only having him to talk to for two years allowed me to see the truth behind his actions. I stand here now facing Al and I can't help but imagine the old Caleb in front of m before I forgave him. I glance over at Caleb who is conversing with Cara and Will. He is so different now. He has changed. Al deserves to be given the chance to change as well.

"It's okay Al." I wrap my arms around the stiff tall boy in front of me. It takes Al a while to relax before he returns the hug.

"Thank you Tris." He whispers into my ear. "I'll be the best friend you have ever had."

I feel Tobias walk away. I hope he isn't mad. But before I can see what he is doing I am surrounded by everyone.

"We brought some Dauntless Cake!" Uriah lifts the box in front of my face. "Let's cut it. We want to celebrate your return."

I chuckle remembering how much he and Tobias loved Dauntless Cake as we all head to the kitchen. Before I turn I glance towards Tobias who is talking with Zeke near the door.

Tobias nods at him as Zeke turns to step outside. Tobias looks up and gives me an assuring smile before he follows Zeke outside.

Before I can ask where he is going I hear Uriah bark out. "What are you doing here?"

He is looking at Caleb.

Before I can open my mouth Caleb looks at me then to Uriah. "I am her older brother and the only remaining family member. We kept each other alive these past two years."

Uriah looks at me still on the defense.

I nod at him. "It's okay. Everyone deserves a chance to change."

Uriah smiles at me. I know he is okay with Caleb being there. This must be my happy ending.
