A/N STILL DO NOT OWN DIVERGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER BOOK

In the last six months Tris has become a stronger person then she has ever thought she would be. Through intensive therapy she has come to accept that she was not the cause of her parent's death. Her therapists made her look in the mirror every day for a month in till she was able to believe it and repeat "I am not a murder" over and over again. One day while saying it, and then she repeated it all the words people have told her for months clicked in her mind. She didn't force the driver to drink and drive and cross over two lanes of traffic to crash into her parent's car. It was not her being selfish that caused her to be late. Through therapy they taught her she was just being a 16 year girl who wanted to be with her boyfriend which was completely normal. She wasn't the murder that she believed she was and Peter constantly told her. Her parent's death wasn't her fault, but the fault of the driver. She was lucky to be alive and she needed to enjoy and live every day for her, Caleb, and her parents.

Aside from dealing with the death of parents, therapy has helped her heal from the wounds of Peter especially the emotional and mental damage he caused. Now Tris knows she is worth something and will be something beyond the little poor orphan who lost her family, and got beaten up by her boyfriend for years on end. Nor is she going to be the lost waif, the charity case that Four needed to save because she realized that's why he didn't answer her because he wanted her as someone he can save. She was stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally then she has ever been in her entire life.

About three months after she was at the clinic the Assistant District Attorney had contacted her about suing Peter to get back the money he had taken from her when her family died. He also told her to sue for compensation for the abuse he inflicted on her. She spent about two weeks battling in her mind what to do in till Fiona convinced her using the faithful words

"Take the bastard for everything he is worth. Take a stand for all entire woman out there who don't get to fight their abusers."

She hired a lawyer and had Peter served with a civil lawsuit. Surprisingly Peter lawyers spoke to hers and wanted to settle out of court. What most people did not know about him is he came from a very wealthy, high profile family who always looked down on Tris they viewed her trash. When Peter got serious with her they ousted him from the family they did not approve of her and thought she was beneath them. When he got arrested they hired a high profile lawyer to keep him out of jail solely because of their reputation not for the welfare of their son just to protect their image. Tris received a sizable settlement from Peter enough to set up for a long time in till she can find a bath in life that will make her happy.

One day while she was working with her art therapist they mentioned they wanted to hire someone to work on a mural for the lobby that the clinic was taking applicants. Tris submitted some sketches and she got picked among over 50 applicants. For the next month in between therapies, hand to hand combat, working out she did the mural. In painting the mural she found a self-fulfillment hat she never had before. When it was finished it was met with rave reviews and she began to get inquiries about doing some privately for people's homes and businesses. Fiona and her therapist encouraged her maybe to do start this as a business. After some time she thought about it and realized that drawing, and painting was her passion and something that made her happy. At that moment she was going to become Tris Prior artist.

Ten months after she came to the clinic Tris was finally ready to leave stronger than ever. It was going to be scary being away from the helping hands of the clinic and therapists, and support groups and constant encouragement, but she knew she was ready to move on. At this moment she was ready to start her life finally. She still was going to go to a support group once a week, and a therapist to continue her work, but she was ready to start a new life. First thought she had to testify against Peter she had met with the DA a few times to prep her, but in two days she would face him for the first time in almost a year. Fiona offered to go with her to be her support, and because they were going to New Orleans after for a visit with her family. The other purpose of the trip was to pack her up because they decided to get an apartment together in Chicago and be roommates.

The day before the trial they decided to go get tattoo's they got a purple ribbon that symbolizes domestic violence with FIGHTER in script tattooed underneath. Tris got hers on her hip bone, while Fiona got hers on her ankle she wanted everyone to see it because she was proud of what she been through and survived.

The next morning in a black dress with her hair pulled back and Fiona by her side they walk into Chicago's criminal courthouse. She was the witness for the prosecution they felt her's was the most poignant and need her to be the last impression in the juror's mind. When Tris walked in she looked to see if Zeke or Four were they, but they were not. Four and Shauna and Zeke actually did have to testify because they were witnesses to some of the abuse against Tris. Tris walks to the witness box and is sworn in.
"Ms. Prior can you please state your name for the jury."

"Beatrice Grace Prior"

"How long have you known the defendant?"

"I have known Mr. Peter Marshall for almost 6 years. I was in a relationship with him for four of those years."

"When did you begin a relationship with him?"

"January, 2008"

"When did the relationship end?"

"May 2012"

Tris then answered for the next two and half hours questions about the abuse she answered in detail. She had to take a break once or twice because it was just getting way too hard at points. After lunch she went back in and had to speak about the attack that put her in the hospital when he left her for dead, and then the one where he threatened her life with Tobias down stairs. The next morning she had to go back and have the defense cross examine her they tried to tear down her story. They tried to make her seem a delusional woman who was out for money, and vengeance for losing her family. They tried to provoke her saying she used Peter to advance her station in life, because of her lack of skills or education beyond high school. In the end Tris stayed strong and never wavered from the truth.

In the end the jury found Peter guilty of all charges against him, including the new ones when he threatened her and Four's life. Sentencing would be in two weeks Tris did not have to be there for that. Tomorrow they were leaving for New Orleans to get Fiona all packed up. They had already found an apartment in the Dauntless section of the city, and been furniture shopping that will be delivered in two weeks when they are pack. Tris had already started a mural of the port of Portofino which is on the Italian Riviera in their living room. Fiona went to go take a nap and Tris decided to take a walk around the city. She passed the bar she used to work at knowing Eric is gone and sentenced to 20 years- to life in Jail. She then continued on walking past the police precinct she sees Will coming out with Christina and before she could walk quickly enough away. She hears

"Tris"

She knows she is caught and turns around and see's Christina and Will

"HI"

"OH MY GOD Tris you look amazing! I missed you so much. I know you wrote, but it wasn't the same. You look amazing."

"Thank You. So do you guys."

"Are you back here for good?"

"I am here for the trial, but I leave tomorrow for New Orleans. I am moving back in two weeks."

"Wow that's great. Have you seen Four."

Tris gets very quiet "No, and can you please not tell him you saw me. I go to go."

Tris ran off with the lingering memories of Four that have been plaguing her since she got back to Chicago.

After she leaves Christina and Will debate if they should tell Four. They decide it's best not to and respect Tris's wishes.

Tris continues to walk around in till its dark. She finds herself in the shadows of Four's apartment building. She gets lost thinking about the memories of them together. There first kiss together in her bedroom, the night at the carnival. All the memories come crashing back to her like a wave hitting the beach. It takes all her restraint not rush up the stairs ring the bell, and see him again find out why he never wrote. Why he didn't write, when he promised he would. Then she sees him come out of the apartment looking as handsome as ever, but then her heart stops beating she found out the reason he never wrote,. She sees him with her and this time there's no mistaken identity like last time with Marlene this is no way family. He has moved on.

She watches him leave hold the door open for her to get in the car and drive off.

Tris watches the car and whispers "Goodbye Tobias." with tears falling down her face as she walks away this time for good.
