Author's Note
Hey guy's I just wanted to thank willgoal for helping me out through these past few chapters and giving me new ideas. And thanks to you guys for reading. Enjoy!
Tris' POV
I ran out of the room slamming the door shut. Why would he put himself in danger? What would I do if he died? Was this the only other option? I am full on crying now but not quite bawling. I look down at my feet and run into someone.
"S..sorry" I stutter out through my tears.
"Hey it's ok. I'm Christina." She finally sees I'm crying and stops with the small talk. "Whats the matter? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"N..no.. I..I'm fine."
"No your not c'mon." She has gently grabbed my arm and is pulling me beside her. "Like I said, I'm Christina. Who are you?"
"Tris.. I am one of the people staying from Abnegation." The tears finally subsiding. We are sitting at a table in the pit. "Oh.. Your the girl who..." I stop her by nodding. She was referring to the kidnapping and getting the information from Jeanine. "What happened why were you crying a few minutes ago?"
"I had a fight with my boyfriend... It's my fault really."
"Wanna talk about it?" She is being nice. It's probably because you've been through a lot and she knows.
"Well he.. He is training soldiers. I'm just so worried he is going to get hurt so bad that he.." I stop. should I trust this girl? Can I tell her I'm pregnant. Yes Maybe she would understand better. Who knows maybe you will be friends." He won't be here for me."
"Well why do you need a man? You look like a decent girl to me. We don't need any men to take care of us."
"I'm pregnant. That's why I need him. That's why he needs to be ok and to be here for me." I start to cry again, the tears softly rolling down my face.
"Wait a minute?" She stops and thinks.. Then she gasps. " Oh my gosh. um.. Why don't you stay at my place for a while and you guys can make up when your ready Okay?"
"Okay."
-Page- Break-
I have been staying at her apartment for a week. I have learned a lot about her and she has learned a lot about me. Each night is restless and full of nightmares. Tonight we head our separate ways and I am so exhausted from working in the tattoo parlor that as soon as my head hits the pillow I am out like a light.
It's quiet. Too quiet. My eyes flutter open. I am lying on a cold metal table with my arms and legs strapped down. I look to my right and see a metal rolling table with syringes and medicine bottles on it. I hear footsteps walking towards me.
"Hello Beatrice. Welcome back. If you would just relax, I can give you this serum to test your Divergence. My Interns don't believe you had gotten three results. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt because you are too stubborn to just get two results." I start to cry. I don't think Tobias is going to save me this time. Jeanine calls in someone. I can't hear who, but I immediately know when I see his face.
Caleb.
"Why would you do this Caleb?" I choke out, my voice just barely above a whisper.
"Faction before blood Beatrice." He shoves a syringe into the side of my neck and I scream out in pain pulling against my restraints as the contents he injected me with pull me into a simulation.
I shoot up in bed, still screaming. I stop and am gasping for air, I feel really cold. Christina comes running into the room.
"Tris! Are you ok?" She is out of breath and is holding a knife in her hands.
"I'm fine just a nightmare.." I start to cry. She comes and sits on the side of the bed and hugs me.
"I think it's about time you and Tobias make up." I nod my head still crying.
I decided to eat in the dinning hall today. When I walk in with Christina I see my parents wearing there modest black clothes, curtsey of Dauntless, and Tobias nowhere to be seen. Christina comes back with a plate of food since certain things set off my nausea, and for the first time in a week I sit down to have a nice meal with Christina.
Tobias' POV
I am in a dark room. A light in the middle of it switches on. I see a very pregnant Tris sitting under the light, curled up in a ball. I see Marcus come from the shadows holding a belt.
"Stop Marcus! Don't lay a hand on her." I yell. I run forward before running into a glass wall. There is nothing I can do to help her. I don't care. I yell anyways. I see the first smack of the belt on Tris' back and I can't bear to watch I turn and look away. screaming for Marcus to stop while the tears slowly run down my face.
"Wake up Tobias! Dammit, It's just a dream!"
Zeke is at the side of the bed shaking me awake.
"Finally. God, we need to get you and Tris back together." I was upgraded from a dorm to an apartment when I accepted my job. I met Zeke on the first day of training. Eventually i told him about Tris and I's fight. I kept having nightmares about it and he kept asking questions. He is a good friend. His apartment is right next to mine. He hears when I scream while having a nightmare. It's just a little bit embarrassing.
"Lets go get some food man I'm starving."
"I'm not hungry. I think I'll just meet you in the training room."
"Alright man. See ya."
Now I need to find Tris. I need to make things okay again.
