Chapter 10:

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. I know you all probably hate me right now, but I promise they will get back together. Enjoy!

Tris' POV

I wake up panting and gasping for air. Oh good, it was just a dream. I look down to my finger and find no ring. I look over to where Tobias was sitting in my dream he isn't there.

Oh my god, it wasn't a dream. He really broke up with me. I'm still unsure why. It's not like I did anything that I know of. I knew that it was going to happen sometime but that all changed when he proposed, but now? I just don't get it. I guess it's better now than later though.

Finally, the doctor comes in.

"Miss. Prior, you are free to go. Do you somewhere to go?" "Yes." I reply back. I just hope Christina will let me stay with her and Will.

"Ok, you're free to leave when you're ready. I just need to come back for an appointment in about a week. Your head may hurt for a few weeks. If your head hurts, use these." He says handing me pain killers.

"Ok, sounds good. Thanks for everything." I say and leave to schedule an appointment.

After, I begin walking to Christina's. I can feel tears coming and decide to let them flow. I run to Christina's apartment and pound on the door until she opens it.

"Oh my god! Tris, what happened? Come in!" I nod and walk in. I sit down on the couch and she sits across from me.

"Now tell me, what happened?" She asks after a few minutes and I've finally calmed down enough to speak.

"F-F-Four, he broke up with m-me." I say and show her my left hand where the engagement ring used to be. She gasps.

"Why would he do that?"

"He said something about needing to protect me." I say sounding somewhat confused.

"Can I stay here until I get everything straightened out?" I ask.

"Yeah, of course. You can have the guest room. Do you need some pajamas?"

"Yes please."

"Ok, you go get ready for bed and I'll bring them in for you." I nod and go head into the shower. I feel like the water washes away everything. Eric. Tobias. Everything. But when I come out, reality comes and slaps me in the face. Everything comes crashing down on me.

I head into the guest bedroom, slip on the pajamas Christina gave me, and slip into a dreamless sleep.


When I wake up, I can feel tears streaked all down my cheeks. I must've been crying last night. I look over onto his side of the bed, then realize we broke up last night and begin to cry again. I wonder what he's doing now. I decide to let the thought escape my mind. I think I'll go grab a muffin and come back here. I don't want him to see me like this, how badly I'm taking the break up.

I walk into Christina's room hoping to find something I can wear. I find a sleeping Christina. I wonder where Will is, he wasn't here last night either.

I go through her closet quietly, careful not to wake her up. Christina isn't very nice when she's woken up.

I find a black knee-length dress I can wear with some of her black shiny flats. I put on a touch of makeup, hopeful to hide I've been crying and put my hair up in a ponytail. I take Christina's spare key and head to the dining hall.

I see our whole group there except for Christina, Will, and Tobias. He probably came here earlier so he didn't have to see me.

"Hey Tris!" Zeke shouts and motions for me to come sit down. I grab a muffin and head over to the table I usually sit at. I sit down and am asked too many questions to count.

"So, Trissy, how're you feeling? Where is Four?" Zeke asks. Tobias didn't come to breakfast? I hope he's ok. I know that sounds kind of weird but I still care about him.

"I'm fine and I don't know where Four is. We broke up last night." I say and Marlene hugs me. I want to cry but I know I shouldn't. I hug back needing someone else to comfort me other than Christina.

We pull back and she gives me a small smile.

"Why'd you guys break up?" Zeke asks.

"I don't know, why don't you ask your friend?" I snap. He looks at me surprised.

"Sorry, I meant for that to come out nicer. I'm just stressed." I say apologetically.

"Its fine, I understand. Where are you staying? If you have to, you can stay with me and Shauna."

"No, it's fine. I'm staying with Will and Christina. Speaking of Will, do you guys know where he is?" They all shake their heads no. I look at them skeptically for a few minutes but then go back to my muffin.

Then, the person I wanted to see the least walks in. Tobias. He sits across from me and makes no eye contact. I'm surprised he hasn't said a word yet.

"Hey Four." Zeke says to Tobias. To my surprise, he looks up and makes eye contact with him. "Hey."

"Tris, can we talk later?" He asks me.

"Why? What is there to talk about?" I say and get up to leave and walk out with tears streaming down my cheeks.

I can hear Tobias calling my name but I ignore him and leave. I walk, not knowing where to go. I end up at our secret place at the Chasm. I curl up in a corner and start crying. I'm not sure how long I've been here, but it only feels like a few minutes.

Without Tobias, I have no life. I stand up and go to the edge of the Chasm about to jump when I hear it. The all too familiar voice coming towards me. "Tris?"
