I don't own Divergent!
Tris POV
When I open my eyes, I look around my room. It's pretty dark, obviously since we basically live in a cave. I look at my clock. It's 6:42. I can lie here for a few more minutes until I have to get up.
I snuggle more into my pillow. I lie still for a moment and realize that my pillow is breathing. I sit up and look down at what my head was previously lying on. I relax when I see the face of Eric.
I lie back down with my head on his chest.
I lie there for a few minutes until the clock reaches 7:00. When Eric is still sleeping I debate whether or not I should wake him up. The side of waking him up wins.
I shake him a little bit and whisper, "Eric. Wakey, wakey."
He stirs a little bit.
"Eric. I have to get up and get ready for work."
When I say this, he rolls over and wraps his arms around me, making it impossible to get out of bed.
I laugh and say, "Eric, seriously. I have to get up!"
"In a minute." He mumbles.
"I have to be there by 8:30!" I say still laughing.
He looks over at the clock and shrugs.
"Fine, I guess you can go." He lets me go.
I looks over at him and he looks at me like he's never going to see me again. I laugh for like the twentieth time this morning and lean down and kiss his cheek.
"I'll be back around 5." I say as I get out of bed.
"Okay. I'm gonna go back to my place." He says as he gets out of the bed.
"Okay."
He slips on his shirt and heads for the door. Before he can reach it though, I get in front of him and give him a peck on the lips.
I run to the bathroom and get into the shower.
Afterwards I put on a pair of shorts, a crop top, and the leather jacket. I then make me a cup of coffee and get me a muffin. Like the morning before.
I walk out of my apartment and lock my door. I head to another day of work.
Time Skip.
I am sitting at a café in the Pit drinking a cup of tea. I take in my surroundings. There are a lot of people with piercings all over their face. And people with pink, blue, purple, or green hair. I can see tattoos peeking out of their sleeves.
I love Dauntless.
Somebody sits in front of me.
It's Tobias.
"Hey." I say.
"Hey." He says.
"What's up?" I ask.
"Nothing much."
"How's Jessica?"
"She's fine."
"Cool."
He looks at me and says, "I need to talk to you. Somewhere private."
"Okay."
He gets up and leads me towards his apartment. He unlocks the door and we go in.
"Is everything okay?" I ask.
"No not really." He says as he shuts the door and locks it.
He turns to me and just stares.
"What?" I ask.
"What's going on with you and Eric?" He asks suspiciously.
"What? Nothing's going on between us." I lie.
"Careful Tris. Remember I work in the control room. I saw him leave your room this morning."
"I don't know what you're talking about." I lie again.
Man I definitely wouldn't make it in Candor.
"Stop lying to me!" He yells.
He walks closer to me.
"Tris! He's dangerous for people like us!"
"No he's not!" I yell back.
I try to walk past him, but he grabs my arm.
"Tris, listen to me." He says in a whisper.
"No!" I yell and yank my arm away from his grip.
I open his door and slam it shut. I walk down to my apartment and slam that door shut too.
Tobias POV
What's gotten into Tris? Is she trying to get herself killed? Eric is going to kill her if he finds out she's divergent.
If anything happened to her, I don't know what I would do. I have to do something about this.
Please review and tell me what you think.
