Chapter 10

Zeke POV

"Who does that Candor punk think he is?!" Four growled, punching the wall of Zeke's apartment. He winced and shook out his hand "Christ!"

"Dude," Zeke said calmly, "You need to calm down. NOW."

"He can't just blatantly try and hurt Tris! And we know that he's dangerous! He stabbed another initiate in the eye with a fucking butter knife, Zeke!" Four shouted before pushing a chair over.

"Okay, you can be angry, but I need you to stop destroying my apartment. Shauna is going to be back in like five minutes, and it's already going to be hard enough explaining the dent in the wall, let alone broken furniture!"

Four continued to rant and rave about Peter, and how not telling Tris who he really was was slowly killing him inside, and yadda, yadda, yadda. Zeke was getting tired of the ranting, even if Four was his best friend. But then Four went and punched another wall when he started in on his little brother Uriah. Zeke walked up to him, and slapped him.

Four stared at Zeke in a daze. "You slapped me."

Zeke shrugged. "It had to be done. You were hysterical. And not in the funny way. I've got two dents in my wall and a broken chair to prove it."

Four stared at Zeke for another minute before nodding. "Thanks, man. I don't think anyone else would have dared to slap me."

Zeke smiled. "No problem. Now what was this about my brother?"

Four sighed and sat down in Zeke's couch. "I took Tris to get some food after she got pummeled into the ground by Molly. While I was gone Uri decided to come over and flirt with her. It pissed me off. Tris is mine."

"But not really…" Zeke said slowly, he was treading on very thin ground.

Four's eyes darkened. "How so?"

"I mean…Tris isn't technically attached to anyone right now. She's hell-bent on finding Toby—who I know, he's dead, I've heard you ramble on about it on too many drunken nights—and now you're trying to get her to pick Four. To fall in love with Four. So…really, it's anyone's game?" Zeke said as carefully as possible.

"You're an asshole. She's mine, Zeke, she's mine, and you can tell your filthy brother to keep his hands off."

"Hey." Zeke said sharply. "Watch what you say about my little brother. The kid may be an idiot, he may be completely clueless, but he sure as hell isn't filthy and I swear to God, Four, if you lay a hand on him because Tris decides she wants Uri and not you, I will murder you. You only get to hurt him when it's justified. Are we clear?"

Four glared at Zeke for a moment before conceding and nodding. "I just…this is so frustrating. We have these great moments, where everything is perfect, and then she drives me up a freaking wall, or vice versa."

"But dude, she got you to go up to the top of a fuckin' ferris wheel. I seriously want to meet this girl. She sounds amazing."

Four nodded a little. "She is."

At that moment, Shauna walked in the door, arms full of groceries. "Hey Four, hey Zeke what's—" She paused staring at the aftermath of Four's temper-tantrum.

Zeke smiled nervously. "I love you?"

Four tried smiling. "And I'm sorry?"

Shauna just started open-jawed at the two men, before sighing and dropping the groceries on the counter, and sitting in front of Four.

"Alright, what's going on?"

Zeke grinned. "Four's got girl problems."

Shauna's eyes went wide in shock. "You're kidding."

Four groaned. "I wish he was."

Shauna laughed a little, and told Four to explain, when he was done, Shauna sat there a moment, processing when she finally said, "So you're lying to her about who you are?"

"Not exactly!" Four protested. "I just…I'm not telling her everything."

"So…" Shauna started. "A lie of omission. You know full well who she's looking for, and you're keeping it from her."

Four looked like a kicked puppy. Zeke would've laughed if it weren't so sad. "I mean…I can't give her Toby, Shauna. Toby isn't there anymore. He's gone."

Shauna sighed. "I could try and explain to you all the ways you're wrong. I could sit here and lecture to kingdom come about how you're just going to hurt her more the longer you keep this from her, but I'm not sure you'd listen to me so here's what I'm going to say. Just, be you. Show Tris who you are now. And, she'll either decide she wants you, for you, or…"

"Or what?" Four said quietly.

"Or she won't. You're so hell bent on the fact that she belongs to you that you're losing sight of the fact that you aren't actually dating her. It's been two years, and you've both factions. You've both grown up and changed significantly. You can't…You have to let her choose for herself. No matter what, you're Toby, Four. You just changed your name. She'll either want the Toby she get now, or she'll move on. Maybe to Al, maybe to Uriah—" Four growled at that. "And I know that isn't what you want to hear, but that's the honest-to-God truth Four. Accept it and move on."

"You sound like a Candor." Four hissed.

Shauna smirked. "Candor transfer, Four."

Zeke smiled at Shauna. He loved her so much, and she always knew what to do when it came to stuff like this. He walked over to her and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her neck from behind.

"Hey there." Shauna smiled up at Zeke.

"I love you, you know that?" He responded.

Shauna smiled up at him. "I love you too, Zeke."

Four just groaned and got up. "I'm going to let you guys do whatever you're going to do. Sorry about your apartment."

Zeke looked back at his best friend and shrugged. "It's okay. I'll see you later."

"Bye."

Four left and Zeke and Shauna settled in for the night. Zeke was starting to worry a little about Four, he was falling more and more every day for Tris, but he was so scared of telling her who he really was. He was terrified that she wouldn't love him anymore. But Zeke didn't see it that way. Tris was obviously becoming split between Four and her memories of Toby. What scared Zeke was how bad Tris' heart was going to break when she found out Four had been lying to her. Would she be able to move on from that kind of betrayal?

But was it betrayal? Four just wanted Tris to love him for who he was now, and that was fair. Zeke wasn't sure what was happening anymore, because every day the lines started to become more and more blurred. He just hoped that no one would be hurt beyond repair at the end of this.
