A/N- Hey peeps! Chap 28! Oh and I have a new poll on my profile I want you guys to check out. A fanfic author I really like is discontinuing her stories because of some hate mail. Her name is sMoShFiRe and if you check out her profile, you'll find out why she stopped. It would mean a lot if you could check out my poll.
Anyways, I own nothing.
Four's POV
I am so confused. One second I'm offering to help Tris and then she starts making out with me and then she's pushing me away saying she's sorry and something about a serum and then she runs after Eric. I don't understand girls.
She said something about a serum. I head over to the control room to see if any of the cameras caught anything.
"Hey, Four!" Someone calls. I turn around to see Will coming up to me. "Uh, when do they start training for the new jobs?" he asks me as we keep walking towards the control room.
"Uh, in a week or two. Why?" I ask distracted. Why does he need to ask me about this now?
"Well I'll be working on the control rooms with you, and since you're here, I thought I may as well ask." He says. "Sorry, you're obviously busy. I'll talk to you later then." And with that he walks away.
He's working in the control rooms? No one ever chooses the control rooms. Now I won't be able to watch what happens in the copound.
I turn on the footage to earlier today outside Tris' apartment. I know it sounds creepy, but I need to see this. I watch for a couple minutes before I see Max get to her door and knock. When Tris opens it, she seems surprised. They talk for a second before Max pulls out a syringe filled with an odd coloured serum. "This serum is taken by all Dauntless members with a government related job so as the new ambassador for Dauntless, I need you to take it. It's just in case something happens, so we know where you are." That's not true. That must be what Tris was talking about. But why would Max do that?
I leave the control room and am lucky enough to find Max in only a couple minutes. "Max! I need to talk to you about something."
"Four. What do you want?" He asks me in his I'm-the-leader-do-as-I-say voice.
"What was in the serum you gave Tris?" I ask getting to the point.
"What serum?" He asks feigning innocence. The look on my face must have given away that I knew, because his face changes from fake innocence to smugness. "It was just something to help Eric get over Tris."
"Why?" I ask. This may be even more confusing than girls. "Why would it matter?"
"Because Eric isn't acting like he should be. Tris has changed him, and it isn't good for what we need him for. Now, if that's all, I have things to be doing." And he walks away.
I go down and sit in the chasm to think about this.
Eric obviously really cares about Tris and vise versa. But right now, Eric probably doesn't believe Tris and he might even break up with her. Tris is stubborn though, and might not let him. So I could tell Eric what Max told me and Eric and Tris could live happily ever after. Or I could let them be and I might end up with a chance with Tris. Or she'll just be sad and heartbroken. I could fix that for her though, right?
I sigh and leave the chasm. Yeah, girls are way too confusing.
Eric's POV
I'm really surprised when I walk back into the room and Tris is still sitting on my bed. Even though I know I shouldn't be.
My face must show my surprise because she tells me, "I told you I wouldn't leave until you believed me."
I shake my head. "Whatever Tris."
Just then, there's a knock at the door. I go answer it and to my great pleasure, there's Four standing there. I go outside and close the door behind me. "What the hell do you want? It's not enough for you to steal my girlfriend, but you have to rub it in my face too?" I spit at him.
He sighs and scratches the back of his neck. "I know that you don't want to see me right now-"
"You can say that again." I mutter.
"-but this is really important and it's about Tris." He finishes like I didn't say anything.
"Of course it's about Tris." I growl. I really don't need this.
"Look, what did she tell you happened when she kissed me?" He asks. Of course, she started it too.
"That she did it because Max gave her a serum that made her do it." I say. "It's a crappy lie, I'm in a bad mood, and I really don't want to talk to you. So good. Bye." I say opening the door. I'm about to step inside when Four closes the door.
"Look, normally, I wouldn't do this, but I actually care about Tris. So. What she said was true. I looked at some video footage, and I saw Max give her a serum that he said was necessary for any jobs related to the government. I asked Max, and he said that he didn't think that you guys should be dating, so he tried to break you two up."
"Why would he tell you that?" I ask because that's all I can think to say. What the hell is wrong with Max?
Four just shrugs. "He probably doubted that you'd believe me."
I nod. "Thanks Four." I say and I walk back into my apartment. I walk over to Tris and I kiss her hard. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." I tell her before I walk out of the apartment and make my way into the Pit. Once I find who I'm looking for, I make my way over to him. He's talking to one of the newer members when I call his name. "Hey Max!" He turns around just in time for my fist to make contact with his nose.
A/N- So how was this chapter? Not a whole lot of fluff in this chapter, but I might put some in the next one. Instead, DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA! Remember to check out my poll. Love ya, BYE-BYE!
