AUTHORS NOTE

Hey guys sorry I didn't update yesterday I didn't mean to do that to you! I was busy; some of you even said it felt like years and I'm sorry it felt like that.

SAD NEWS: this is my last chapter… JK I would never do that to you guys haha I just had to because one of you said I better not come back and be like "I'm finished"… I'm mean I know ;) but seriously I will continue this story until you all tell me to stop. So as long as you keep up the reviews I will try to write you chapters everyday.

TRIS POV

"How can I help you?" the lady at the front desk asks,

I look at the plaque on her desk, which reads Sarah Sanders; she clears her throat when I don't answer, "Um I have a meeting with Tori." I say quietly holding onto Fours hand a little tighter,

"Who?" Sarah questions looking at me confused,

Four speaks up, "Victoria Wu."

"Oh. Ok what's your name sweetie?" she asks,

"Tris Prior."

"Great I'll let her know you're here, you can take a seat right over there." She says pointing to her right, I nod and walk with Four towards it.

My breath starts to catch and it feels exactly like it did when I was on stage yesterday, weak, terrified, incapable, "Four I cant do this." I stutter out,

"Yes you can." He encourages,

"No-no I really can't. You don't understand." I say shaking my head repeatedly,

He does his now regular move where he guides my face using his thumb and index finger to his, "Tris what don't I understand?" he searches my eyes as I hold back the tears, "It's not the stage fright is it?" I try to look down, "What is it?" Four asks,

"The song."

"You're scared to sing the song?" he says trying to understand,

"Not the song, the meaning behind the song." I whisper,

"And what are those meanings?"

"I-I can't. I can't tell you." I stutter as my eyes lift back to his,

"Why?" he asks softly

"I wrote it when I felt like I got over it but I realize I'm not and I can't be." I pause and look away, "Not yet anyway. I just can't sing it, I'm sorry Four."

"Then don't." He suggests grabbing my hand and kissing it lightly,

"But I told you I would." I sigh,

"I know but you can some other time, I don't want you to push yourself when you're obviously not ready."

I smile and face him again, "Thank you."

He smirks, "Anytime. Now let's figure out what you are going to sing."

"How about 'Say something'? I mean I could probably sing it in my sleep." I suggest,

"Sounds like a plan." He laughs,

Time seems to freeze as we gaze into each others eyes, I feel bad for not being able to tell him about Peter but I just cant. Not yet anyway, maybe soon when I actually feel like I'm over what he did to me.

"Tris." Someone announces, I looks up, "Sorry but Tori is ready for you." I nod and smile. Four and I follow Sarah to a long hallway as we pass several offices and stop in front of a door with 'Meeting room' written on the front. Sarah opens it wide for Four and I to enter; we smile as thanks and walk inside.

FOURS POV

There are about 7 or 8 people sitting across from each other at a large table, Tori stands immediately as we strut inside, "Thanks for coming guys I'd like you to meet my staff, Chelsea Phillips." She says gesturing to a middle aged women, "Tracey Simmons." Again looking mid-thirties, "Phil Collins, Ricky Fisher, Tami Jackson, and my brother George Wu." They all seem to be late twenties,

Tris speaks up, "I'm Tris Prior nice to meet you all."

"Four." I say with a small nod,

"It's so great to meet you Four and welcome to our little family here." George says extending his hand I shake it firmly and state, "Happy to be here."

"Please take your seats." Tori asks motioning for the two chairs across from her at the head of the table, as we do she continues, "So we should probably start with some facts about you Tris, each of my colleagues are going to ask you some questions so they can get to know you better."

Tris nods and Tori' brother asks, "What instruments do you play?"

"Piano and guitar, I'm also trying to learn drums right now." Tris answers,

"Great, and how long have you been writing songs?" Tracey wonders,

Tris contemplates, "About 6 maybe 7 years."

Ricky continues, "In your opinion how much do you like your music?"

She looks at me for support, I smile and nod she searches for Ricky's eyes and says, "Its not so much that I like my own material as I like saying how I feel. It helps me cope with things I've been through and then I can eventually get over those hard times. I enjoy singing and playing music because it has always been an escape for me but I would have never thought I was good enough if Four and Tori hadn't mentioned it."

He nods then asks, "How about your music what type is it?"

"Well I'd say kind of low tempo for the most part but I have some pop songs as well."

"And how old are you?" Tami speaks up,

"17 I just turned it a few weeks ago actually." Tris replies confidently,

"Tori told us about how you had stage fright, how are you planning on overcoming that?" Phil questions,

Tris unknowingly shakes at the question so I grip her hand a little tighter, "Um well I'm just hoping with time it will go away. I have some help also so hopefully soon enough I will be fully cured."

Phil looks at her, "Who is your help?"

"Me." I answer; he doesn't say anything back so there is a slight silence.

Chelsea asks the first thing she has said yet, "What would you say is your style? Because you are obviously a very beautiful young lady so that will help in this entire process."

Tris first blushes and whispers, "Thank you." Then says, "I wouldn't call myself goth but I do wear a lot of black edgy clothing, If not that then usually I just wear the normal jeans and t-shirt."

"Ok we can go off of your liking of black." Chelsea says writing down some things, "And what about you and Four?" she asks, I'm guessing she is a publicist of some sort,

"What do you mean exactly?" Tris asks nervously,

"Like what is your relationship?"

"That is not important. We can discuss that when and if it's needed." I deliver quickly,

Tami nods and Tori takes over, "Alright I think that's enough for now, how about we get to the performance?"

"Sure." Tris whispers,

Tori stands "Follow me."

We walk with her to a room decorated in all different types of instruments from tubas to a grand piano. There is a row of seats that each person starts to take, Tris and I walk to the front and I ask, "Are you going to play anything?"

"I was thinking piano." She admits, I nod and slowly walk with her to the piano,

"Just take a deep breath and look at me anytime you need to. I'll keep you safe."

She smiles and sits down, I kiss her on the cheek and make my way over to sit next to Tori who is grinning at me, I roll my eyes and take my seat.

Tris says into the mic, "I'm going to sing a song I wrote a few years ago called 'Say something' I hope you like it."

She starts to play the song I have come to love over these past few years, she glances at me before starting to sing and when she is mid-way through the song I look around to see everyones reactions; a few of them have their mouths literally wide open in all of her talent, Chelsea and Tami have tears coming out of their eyes quietly crying to themselves, and Tori has that same pride filled smile on her face as she did in the beginning.

Once Tris finishes we all stand up and applaud her. She has a few small tears that had escaped from her eyes showing just how emotional this song is for her. I head back to her and give her a small hug, "You were amazing." I whisper in her ear,

"Wow." Tori starts, "That was great Tris I think I already know the results of this but I'll have to have a private talk with everyone and then I'll let you know as soon as possible."

Tris smiles, "Ok thank you."

As we begin to pass the representatives they each praise Tris in some way about her performance, some giving hugs, and some just about speechless. Once we exit I pull her into an empty room and smoothly pin her to a wall making sure not to hurt her in the process, I kiss her fiercely on the lips which she happily returns.

She pulls away out of breath, "What was that for?"

"That was because I haven't been able to properly kiss you all day." I reply with a smirk as I trail kisses all over her face, then I begin on her lips again, "And that was just because I wanted to." I admit barely pulling away,

"I'm not complaining." She says before wrapping her arms around my neck and locking her lips with mine, "But we should go." She says into my lips,

I sigh still not breaking from our kiss, "I guess."

I move my hands from their position on the wall on each side of Tris' head and reluctantly pull away slowly, I kiss her again, then she moves back and comes in again, we continue this a few more times until she pulls back and sighs, "We really need to go now."

I nod and take her hand in mine, we make sure its clear before walking down the hall and out of the office, I get in a couple surprise kisses while we wait in the elevator then behave as soon as we leave the building. I don't want any paparazzi to find out I'm dating someone yet.

*******PAGE BREAK*************

"You know my brother is right inside don't you?" Tris asks into my lips as we kiss,

"Yeah." I reply not caring one bit,

She smiles and tears our lips apart, "As much fun as this is I have homework to do."

"Right. I still need to get used to the whole homework on weekends thing." I admit, making her laugh, gosh that laugh!

"I'll see you at School tomorrow." Tris says before giving me another kiss on the lips and walking inside,

"Yeah bye Tris." I reply before she closes the door, I walk back to my motorcycle and make my way to my house.

TRIS POV (Next Day)

I do my normal routine today even though I barely slept because I was so hyped up on my audition/performance thing I did for Tori' office people. It was so nerve wracking but so exciting when I saw everyone's faces, they were either full of tears or full of surprise.

I make my way to the garage with my keys in hand and when I look at my normal parking spot I instantly remember that I left my car at the restaurant since Four drove me. Well shit. Caleb already left and Four probably has too, I text Christina asking for a ride because I know she doesn't leave her house until like 5 minutes before we are supposed to be at school.

She responds with "Sure be there in 2"

I guess you could say its pretty awesome having your best friend live so close to you. She soon drives up and I hop in, "So what's wrong with your car?" she interrogates right away,

"I left it at The Pit yesterday."

"And how did you manage getting home after leaving your car there?" she asks,

"Um." I start, "Four."

"Oh my God you guys are totally dating aren't you!?" she more acknowledges then actually asks,

"Maybe." I sheepishly admit,

"I knew it!" she squeals making the car swerve with her excitement I grab the wheel to steady it and say calmly, "Will you chill I'd rather not die."

She nods and focuses back on the road, "We need to have a sleepover so you can tell me every detail." She says as she parks in front of the school and turns to me,

"Yeah sure my parents aren't home anyway." I say opening the door, "Tonight?"

She yells, "Yes." And starts babbling as we head inside, I don't pay attention in the slightest.

"I have to go to class I'll see you later." I suddenly say to her after grabbing my book from my locker and stalking off to my first period class.

******PAGE BREAK*******

I am just abut to exit the bathroom to head to music class when I feel a pair of hands wrap around my body and pull me back inside, another set of hands cover my eyes they both shove me into a stall and shut it rapidly before I could see who it is. I hear it lock somehow from the outside and try to unlock it but it's not budging, what the hell did they do to it.

I hear a male chuckle behind be and I turn to slowly to see the one and only Peter, "Hey babe." He says in a tone I hate,

"What the hell is going on Peter?" I ask rudely,

"Oh I think you know." He replies evilly

"No I don't please enlighten me."

He steps forward and grips onto my waist, he whispers, "This." right before he starts to eagerly kiss and bite my lips I shimmy my way out of his grasp and go to the other side of the stall

"Don't you dare touch me." I growl as I put my arms in front of my face in defense,

He sneers, "And what are you going to do about it Stiff?"

He started calling me stiff when I refused to get in bed with him, I doubt he would've stopped trying if I hadn't kicked him where the sun don't shine; multiple times.

When I don't answer he states, "Exactly." And walks closer, "Now I am going to get what I've always wanted." He demands,

When his hands come for my waist again I slap them away and punch him square in the face and he crumbles to the floor in pain, "Don't you ever put your hands on me again you sick son of a bitch."

I crawl under the opening of the stall door but before I can get out of the room I hear him call, "This isn't over Stiff!"

I walk into Music class late and sit down as unnoticed as possible, all my friends give me questioning looks but don't ask any questions. Tori suggests into the mic, "Tris since you decided to come in late why don't you do the honors of singing first today." I nod and make my way on stage, once I get to the center I see Peter walk in holding bloody toilet paper to his nose. I smile mischievously, while picking up the guitar and slinging it over by shoulder, I announce into the microphone, "I haven't been able to sing this because I thought I was lying to myself. But now I know, I am in fact a warrior."

I start to play and instantly feel the words take over my entire body,

"This is a story that I have never told

I gotta get this off my chest to let it go

I need to take back the light inside you stole

You're a criminal

And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth

I wear like a battle wound

So ashamed, so confused

I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire

You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar

I've got shame, I've got scars

That I will never show

I'm a survivor

In more ways than you know

Cause all the pain and the truth

I wear like a battle wound

So ashamed, so confused

I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me

There's a part of me I can't get back

A little girl grew up too fast

All it took was once, I'll never be the same

Now I'm taking back my life today

Nothing left that you can say

Cause you were never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior

I've got thicker skin

I'm a warrior

I'm stronger than I've ever been

And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in

I'm a warrior

And you can never hurt me again

No oh, yeah, yeah

You can never hurt me again"
