Tris pov

I head over to Christina's to tell her all about my dream and what it could have meant. When I get there I knock on the door and wait. It opens almost immediately.

"Hey Tris what up?" she asks

"Can I come in?" I ask. She steps aside and I walk in and sit on the couch with my head in my hands. I feel a hand on my shoulder and the couch dips down next to me where Christina sits.

"Tris what happened?" she asks in a hushed tone

"Christina, I had the worst dream and Four is acting really weird." I say looking down

"What happened?" she asks

"In my dream, Four cheated on me and then he came home and found me screaming in my sleep. Then he started acting all quiet and stuff and ran out the door playing with his ring finger..."

"OOOOOOOOOH! I'm sorry about your dream, but what. If. He. Proposes?"

"Christina, I don't know if I'm ready for marriage... even if it Four... he might want kids and I don't want kids!" I exclaim

"Tris, I honestly think that you'd be a great mother. And if you're not ready just say no" she says

"I CANT SAY NO. I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH" I say immediately quieting down. I remember that "I can't love him. I'm trying, it's just that... I don't think it'd be a good idea." I say out loud.

"TRIS GET YOUR HEAD TOGETHER. JUST GO. HE MIGHT NOT BE EVEN PROPOSING. WE DON'T KNOW"

"I'm sorry Christina... OK ok ill go." I say I look at the clock to see it 4:43. I have to go! I get up and run out the door to the net.

*WHEN HE ARIVES*

I stand there looking bored when all of a sudden a strong pair of arms lifts me off the ground. I stiffen at first but then I realize its Tobias and let out a giggle. He puts me down and I catch my breath and turn around. He is down on one knee with a ring out

"Tris, I have loved you since the first time I saw you and that was here. When I pulled you out of this net I knew one day you'd be mine. I know you don't like sappy crap so I'll cut to the chase

Beatrice Prior, will you marry me?"

I sat in silence as the question approached me like knife to the chest. Do I really want to marry him? Am I willing to commit?

"Are you sure you want me, I mean I'm not the best girl ever or even the pretti-" I say but am cut off.

"You are the most wonderful girl I could ever have, I want no one else but you." Another knife to the chest. I want to love him, but how far am I willing to go?

I sigh and look down he looks hopeful still and I can tell there are people all around me waiting for a reaction I panic and blurt out my answer

"Yes. I will marry you!" I exclaim and jump into his arms. He spins me around then I feel his lips on mine. I kiss back and everyone around us is cheering.

1 day later

I wake to the blaring alarm clock I set so I could talk to max. Tobias is already up so I tell him

"I have to go see Max. I'll be back in a few hours." I say

"Um, ok? I love you" he says

"Me too" I says before walking out the door

I have to talk to Max. I need to talk to him about my position as leader. I mean, I still want to be a leader; I just need to see if there is anything I need to do. I walk down the long hallway then take a left. I walk into Max's office without notice.

"Max..." I say and clear my throat. He looks up and puts down his glasses.

"Yes Tris?"

"I need to talk to you about my position as leader." I say looking down

"You're not going to quit are you?" he asks worriedly

"No! No... nothing like that. I just want to know if there was anything I missed or if there are any up-coming meetings?"

"Yes, you missed 5 meetings about the rule changes in the factions and there is an up-coming meeting about when to impeach one of the abnegation leaders Marcus Eaton. He is going to be at the next meeting though" he says. I flinch at the name.

"Why are they impeaching him?" I ask

"We have found the rumors of him abusing his son to be true." He says. I flinch. I hope he doesn't know its Tobias "Do you know his son? Tobias Eaton?"

That gets me. He knows. But he doesn't know it's Four. Thank god.

"um, no sir I don't." I lie

"Alrighty then. It's just that, he transferred to dauntless 2 years before you did. That's when Four transferred isn't it? I'll have to ask him."

Now im panicking

"NO! ask someone else. Four won't remember. When is the meeting?" I ask

"Tomorrow" he says

"Alright" I say and get up to leave. I start walking home when I feel like I'm being followed. I walk faster. I look behind me. No one. Just like when I feel as if someone is going to grab me I unlock my apartment door and slam it behind me locking it.

I fall on the bed and go to sleep wondering where Tobias is
