Tris POV

I woke up some time later, lying on Eric's couch. I slowly rise from the couch and look around. It still seemed too dark outside to be awake, so it must be at least midnight. I looked around the empty apartment and sighed.

I wanted to be with Four. He was m everything, but Max had risked so many peoples lives just to get what he wanted. I groaned in frustration and threw my head into a pillow.

I started to cry again and thought about tomorrow. I was going to see Four, and all my friends. Things would be different.

I felt a hand on my back and jumped a little. I looked up to see Eric looking down at me.

"Didn't mean to scare you" he said, laughing a bit. I smiled a little and sat up so he could sit next to me.

"Things will be hard for the next couple of days, but you need to understand that what you are doing is the right choice, even if it is the hardest" he explains to me. I nod my head slightly and look away.

I wasn't used to this side of Eric. He wouldn't be nice, or kind to anyone. On some occasions he wouldn't scream at people, but I guess those were the days when Rory made him happy.

"Do you think he will forgive me after all of this?" I say blankly to him. He looks away and shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe if he understood, but he is hurting". I sigh and look away again.

And that is how we sat for the rest of the night. Not talking, not doing anything. Just being in each other company, knowing what both of us is going through just to protect the people we love.

We got moving around 6, which wasn't a time for me usually. I didn't know what to say to him, or what to do for the matter. We went to the cafeteria together, sat together then went to the training room together. We were really early but he didn't seem to care.

He decided to show me a couple of his moves which helped him win his fights. After a while the others started to pile in, and then came Four.

I wanted to cry when I saw him. He looked hung over, pissed and angry and the same time. He glanced at me and gave me the most scariest look I have ever seen on him.

He went straight to Eric and mumbled a few things to him. Eric didn't say anything back, but when Four walked away, Eric looked straight at me.

He gave me a weak smile and a nod, and I returned the favour.

"Hey Tris" Marlene said to me slowly. I turned to her and hugged her tight. It felt like forever since I had seen her, in fact it felt like I hadn't seen anyone in a while.

I wanted to cry right here, but Four broke the hug. He pushed me away from Mar and glared at me.

"this isn't time for a cry Tris! Get your head out of your ass and listen!" he shouted right in my face.

I nodded my head and looked away. I couldn't bear to look at him. He marched angrily over to the punching bag and showed us some moves.

"Now this is your last day to prove to us that you are worthy of staying in dauntless. We will have the final fights today" Four announces. I looked over at Eric, who looked as surprised as everyone else.

We had only had 1 or 2 fights, and this was our final one. I was first on the leader board, so I wasn't worried, but I was worried about my friends.

Four paired us up with people, then moved away from the board. I looked for my name, and the name next to it gave me shivers down my spine.

I was fighting Peter. Out of everyone here, he just had to pair me up with the guy who is threating me with everyone that I love. I stare at Four who is already looking at me. He raises an eyebrow before marching over to me.

"What?" he barks at me. I stare back at him and shake my head. I was giving him attitude for no reason, because he was acting like a douche to me.

"You don't like who I partnered you with?" he says, smirking at me. He is really pissed now.

"No actually, I think you did the paring quite well" I say back to him. He glares at me again, before grabbing my wrist hard and pulling me closer to him.

"I know what you did last night was a mistake. I mad mistakes too, remember? But I want you and only you, and I forgive you for your stupid mistake. Please, just take me back".

I stare shocked at Four. He was asking for my forgiveness, something that I wanted to give to him so badly.

But I knew that I couldn't do that, because I would be breaking my promise to Eric, to Peter, to Max and to Jeanine.

I grab my wrist back and step closer. I was being a total bitch to him, but I had to get him to let go.

"You and I will never and I mean NEVER get back together, even if it is my last choice. I love Eric, not you. And you know what? I had my first time with him, not you. So how bout you go and leave me alone!" I nearly shout at him.

He seemed hurt, for only a second before giving a frustrated yell. He lets go of my wrist an walks towards the mat. I stand in that place, staring at nothing before Eric comes and shakes my out of my nightmare.

"You had to do it. I know it hurts but you had to do it" he tells me over and over.

"I told him you took my virginity" I blurt out. He stares shocked at me then gives me a evil glare.

"You know what he told me? He told me if I ever had sex with you, he would come in my room, while I was asleep and kill the living shits out of me! Your crazy boyfriends gonna kill me!" he whispers to me.

I look at him then back at Four. He is fuming with rage. He looks at me than at Eric and hisses.

"Sorry" is all I can say before walking back to the ring.

"Peter and Beatrice" Four shouts at us, once the round of fighting is over. Christina one of the amity girl, called Myra.

I walk into the ring and walk straight to Peter. "I'm going to kill the living shits out of you" I say smiling at him. He smiles back and laughs.

"Try me" he says before throwing a punch to my face. I stumble a bit before regaining my balance and taking stance.

I lunged at him with full rage in me. I hate him so much. He was the one who dragged me into that secret meeting. None of this would have happened if he just left me alone.

I dragged him to the ground and throw punches to his face, over and over. He starts to grab my hair and pull it back until he flips me over and does what I just did to him.

I start to see stars out of the corner of my eye. I tried to push him off of me, but nothing seemed to work. I looked over at Four, who was walking away from the fight.

Did he not care for me anymore? Did I hurt him so much that he didn't care if some other guy beat the shit out of me.

I was angry beyond hell and kicked Peter in the balls. I pushed him off of me and started to punch faster and harder.

Suddenly he went limp and stopped moving. I stood slowly off his body and walk away from him. Eric ran straight to him and carried him out of the room.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Max, nodding his head in approval to me.
