A/N: Sorry for the delay! Thank you for the reviews! Please check out my fanfic on divergent called 'Sleep My Angel'. You will definitely enjoy it.

I see a crowd around my painting. Suddenly, the crowd parts, making way for Four. I see him approaching me with worried eyes. I drop my phone and cover my mouth with both my hands. I turn around and run. I just run, adrenaline coursing in my veins. My heartbeat is so loud that I am scared that my rib cage will pop out. I run back to my apartment. I quickly enter and close the door behind me. I slide down against the door, panting and sweating.

Tobias POV

I watch her close the door before I could even reach it. I walk to her apartment and sit with my back to the door. I tilt my head back and close my eyes, concentrating on the sound I am hearing from inside. It sounds like she is crying. I don't understand why she is running away from me? why she didn't tell me that she was my Cinderella? Why did she help me all along if she didn't want me to find her? I take out her phone from my pocket. She dropped it earlier in the cafeteria. I feed my number in it, leave a message for her, and slip from under her door. I get up, dust myself and walk away. I shake my head unable to believe that it was her all along. A spark lights up in my heart, travelling at a rapid pace throughout my body as I recount all the days I spent with her, trying to find her. I never imagined that I would fall for her. I was irritated by her from the day I met her. She was reckless and a rule-breaker. She didn't find me intimidating. She was the reason I was losing my scary vibe amongst my students. I never hated her. I liked her from the starting. I just have too many secrets about me that I don't want to share.

But I am not who I was before. Secretive, shy and weak. I have changed since I met her. Now I am open, talkative, bold and tough. She changed me in one night and I am ready to open up to her.

Tris POV

I sense someone sitting in front of my door Probably Four. I see that he slipped my phone from under. I wipe my face and check my phone. He fed his number in my phone and left a message-

I am sorry if whatever I did made you upset. Zeke told me about you and I really like you Tris. Please talk to me. I'll be waiting

-Four

I get up and get some stationary paper. I write him a letter because I don't have internet data package in my phone.

Dear Four,

I am going to explain to you something only extremely close friends and relatives know about me. I trust you enough that you won't expose my secret which I am about to tell you.

My family is not like the other families. My dad died in a car accident. My mom, my younger brother Caleb and I were devastated. My mother was sad for a couple of months until she found herself a new boyfriend. He had a habit of returning home drunk and beating up my mother. She never spoke against him. She reassured me by saying it is 'true love'. I never believed her. One day, she was being kicked in the ribs. It was extremely horrible. I jumped in to save her but I had as much power that a four-year-old does. He threw me on the floor and locked me in the closet. So now you know why I am claustrophobic. And then again, he started to kick her in the ribs. I went to save her and in result got forty slaps on my right cheek back. I was terrified of that man. My neighbours reported him. He was taken to jail. My mom to rehabilitation. She had to fight for our custody, her one-year-old son and four-year-old daughter. In the court, she declared she didn't want us. We were put into foster care. They separated me and Caleb. Separating from him is like someone stabbing you with a dagger in your heart. Every six weeks, my foster parents changed. They couldn't keep up with my traumatic conditions. The only one that stayed was Tyra. She is with me till now. My brother died of pneumonia when he was little. This is my story. Besides that, I want you to know that, that night was possibly the best night of my life. I hadn't spoken or even laughed that much in the past seventeen years. Thank you for everything.

Tris

I finish writing the letter and get up from the bed, constantly stepping on crumpled up paper. I grab my jacket and step out into the hallway. I hover around Four's apartment, trying to find the perfect moment to slip in the letter. I walk quickly to his door and slip in the letter. As soon as I slip it in, I hear noises from inside. I pick up my pace and run back to my apartment.

Christina is at her parents' house in Candor. I told her what happened and she wanted to come back. But I told her that I need to handle this on my own. I can't rely on her to fix everything for me.

Only an hour had passed by, and I was growing impatient and nervous about his response. I wasn't scared that he will reveal my identity to the entire compound. I trust him a lot.

It was as if we had a telepathic connection or something but within two hours I had gotten a response letter which said-

Dear Tris,

I understand what you have been through. I promise not to say one word about you to anyone. I wanted to apologise for my jerky behaviour with you as your instructor in P.E. I was a little irritated that you didn't find me tough and scary as others did. That put me off. But the real reason I didn't behave around you was that I liked you from the day I saw you. I like you even now. I just didn't tell you earlier because I expected a rather harsh rejection from your side. I had the most extraordinary and wonderful night of my life at the ball. I should let you know that I don't dress up for anyone but I did it for Zeke. Well, maybe following that goof for years brought me something extremely good. There are some secrets that I want you to know. My father was an abusive one. He physically harassed my mother. My mother died because of it. My father was the political leader running for Abnegation Congress. Because of his reputation in the society, my mom's death wasn't mentioned by anyone. It was due to "cancer". I was only five-year-old at that time. Nothing made sense to me. He even started beating me. he did it for years and I learned to live with it. Always waiting for me to turn sixteen, leave the town and live freely as an adult. I was done being the speck of dirt under his shoe. My body may have moved from its scars but my mind, heart and soul hasn't. Tris, I really like you. I have never confided so much in anyone especially a girl. I don't care if you carry the sorrows of the past with you all life-long. What I care about is you. I promise to do anything to make everything in life better for you. I will be always waiting for you.

-Four

I was shocked listening to the horrors of his childhood. It made me realise that even if what we had in common is extremely horrible, it is the only things which prevent us from turning out as our parents. The feelings he has for me is remarkable. No one, especially in case of teenage boys, has ever liked me so much. He has promised me trust and safety. Something I never got in life before. I only have one chance to change my life and that chance is him.
