A/N: I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. This is the last chapter before the epilogue.

Tobias POV

Chapter 27

"Order in the court." The judge yells as he slams his hammer-like mallet on the table, "Ms Laweson, please present your case."

Christina stands up. As soon as we found out we had evidence, Christina booked a time to take Jeanine to court, and fortunately, the wait wasn't long, as soon as they heard what the case was about they made space for it immediately.

"Your honour," Christina starts," Today I'm here to present my case. Jeanine Mattews, creator of Erudite telecommunications has been exploiting her workers and injecting them with some sort of serum, and Beatrice prior," She says, pointing to Tris who is sitting next to her, "Has been a victim to the serums."

Murmurs fill the jury as Jeanine tenses. She sits with her lawyer while Tris and Christina sit on the opposite side to her. Zeke, Shauna, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Tori and I sit and watch this unravel, hopefully, they'll get what they deserve.

Christina sits down as her the defendant, Jeanine's lawyer stands up and makes his case, explaining to the judge that Chistina's accusation is untrue and that Jeanine has done nothing to be here today.

Christina begins her first statement, as she calls our first witness, Cara, "Cara here is a member of Erudite, Cara, can you please tell me what you remember doing at work last week."

Cara shakes her head," I don't remember"

"Have the jury decided?" The judge asks.

The man in the jury nods and stands up, "Yes, your honour, we find Jeanine Mathews, who has been accused of exploiting her workers, using illegal and dangerous serums and abuse guilty."

A weight has been taken off my shoulder when the Jury finds her guilty. The judge nods and then looks at Jeanine, her smug expression at the start of the hearing has now disappeared and is replaced with a panic-stricken expression. With all the evidence we had, it was no surprise that she would be found guilty.

"Jeanine, you've been found guilty, you will now face up to thirty years in prison. The court is adjourned. "

We all stand and the judge makes his way out, as we all follow after. Tris rushes into my arms as I embrace her tightly. We all make our way outside and it feels like I can actually breathe now.

"Thank you so much, Chris, you were amazing," Tris exclaims as she hugs her best friend.

"Hey, no problem, Tris, Jeanine had no chance of getting out of here without at least twenty years of jail time." Christina mumbles.

We all say our goodbyes and decide to call it a day despite the fact that it's a Monday and the working day isn't over. Tori assured us that we could take today off and rest. I decided to go home with Tris, she could use someone right now.

The ride to her house is silent and could feel the tension radiating off her. It was obvious that she had a lot going on in her mind. We exit the vehicle and walking inside together, hand in hand.

Tris excuses herself and goes to her room while I prepare some lunch for both of us. I decide on macaroni and cheese, one of her favourites. I knock on the door to her room and let myself in with our plates of food in my hands.

She's sitting on the balcony floor, staring out. I walk over to her and hand her a plate, we eat in silence until I finally say something.

"What's on your mind, Tris?"

She finishes her bite before answering, "It's nothing, I'm just tired and I guess in a way relieved that this is all over." She reveals, sounding slightly hesitant.

I place my empty plate down and move her into my lap gently. No words are shared we just sit there together as she nuzzles her head into my chest. At some point, Charlie comes to both of us and finds a comfy position on Tris' lap.

"After Erudite's CEO Jeanine Mathews has been found guilty, Dauntless telecommunications has moved back up to number one telecommunications company in the US." Shauna reads.

We all smile as I lean back onto the sofa. After sitting with Tris and Charlie at home, Zeke called asking if everyone wanted to meet at his house, with nothing better to do, we agreed and made our way over, we even decided to bring Charlie along.

"Uri, when are you going to get me a puppy?" Marlene pouts as she stokes Charlie.

We chuckle. The smell of burning food lingers in the air. Zeke tenses up as he remembers the dinner he offered to cook as he bolts towards the kitchen, only making us laugh more.

"Burnt or not, it would probably taste the same," Uriah deadpans.

The fire alarm blares as Zeke curses, Shauna decides to go help him before their neighbours' panic and call the fire department.

After Zeke's cooking incident has been cleared up, we decide on going to the diner to get some food. I smile, remembering that the diner is the same one I went to with Tris, Shauna, Will and Zeke.

Like last time, the same waitress is there. She smiles but then frowns when she sees my hand intertwined with Tris'. We all sit in a booth big enough for us all and look over the menu.

"Hi, I'm Lauren, what can I get you all," The waitress asks as she moves to our table, she gives me a cheeky smile as she looks directly at me, completely ignoring Tris who I have my arm around.

"I'll have the burger with a side of fries," Zeke says as aa chorus of 'me too' fills the air. We all order our meals, but Lauren is still unable to peel her eyes off me. I can tell that it's agitating Tris as she huffs quietly.

I lower my head so it's next to Tris' ear, "It's cute when you're jealous," I whisper against her skin. She laughs and it's music to my ears, shoving me playfully she smiles. This seems to be enough to get Lauren to stop staring and walk away.

"Lauren is constantly flirting with any person of the male species," Christina mumbles," You should have seen how hard it was to get her off Will when it was just me and him," She shakes her head as if she's silently disapproving Laurens behaviour as she mumbles something about 'university girls'.

She comes back with our burgers, chips and milkshakes. Zeke begins cracking jokes as Shauna begins recalling the story of how Zeke ended up getting temporarily banned from the bakery after throwing a cupcake at the owner.

We finish up and pay. Even with the cold February air biting at us, we decide to get some ice cream and walk down the streets. Tris' smaller cold hand is engulfed in my own as she takes licks of her chocolate ice cream topped with warm fudge sauce.

The sky dims as the sky is a mixture of blue and black. Will, Christina, Zeke, Shauna, Marlene and Uriah call it night and part ways, making their way back to their houses. However, this night isn't over for Tris.

We continue walking hand in hand towards the car, but little did she know we're not going home. When she sees us miss the turn back to her house she realizes we're going to the park.

She throws on one of my hoodies to keep her warm while we exit the car. Lamp posts illuminate the park. My hands tremble slightly as we walk towards the fountain. For a few minutes, we do nothing, both enjoying the peaceful sound of water.

I swallow back my fear as I let go of Tris' hand and move down to position myself; kneeling down on one leg.

Tris doesn't notice this for a few seconds, I watch the light reflect in her eyes and this makes me feel so much love for her. She seems to notice now as she turns and her hands go to cup her face.

"Beatrice Grace Prior," I start, "The second I saw you at Dauntless, I couldn't get enough of you. It felt like every time our hands touched, my body came alive, despite how cheesy that sounds, it's true," I tell her, as she giggles softly, still staring at me in complete awe, an expression I'm sure is mirroring my own.

"I can't imagine my life without you. I don't want to live a life without you, so would you do me the honour of making me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

From my back pocket, I pull out the red velvet ring case and open it. The white gold band with a moderate-sized diamond that reminded me of her eyes catches the light as it sparkles.

A tear rolls down her cheek as she smiles.

"Yes"
