(A/N: I do not own Divergent. Nor will I ever. I just own my ideas)
Tris POV
I am sitting by the Chasm, dangling my feet over the edge of the small space I found a couple weeks ago. It's below the railing down a small path. Although I don't know how I got here, the last thing I remember is going to sleep.
I hear footsteps approach from above and look up. I'm pretty sure I am secluded so I think I am safe here. There are 4 people standing at the railing. Uriah, Peter, Drew, and …Four? They look down toward where I am and I meet Uriah's eyes. He smirks and turns his head to Four and whispers something in his ear causing him to smirk.
Four puts both his hands on the railing and lifts himself over it. He starts to walk down the path of rocks toward my spot and sees me. Before I have time to react, I am being dragged back up toward the railing.
He throws me over and I land hard on my shoulder. I try to get up but Peter's foot comes down on my chest. I try to pull it off but he motions for Uriah and Drew to hold my hands. The next thing I try is my feet but I soon feel that there are hands on them. I look down my body and see Four at the end.
I look back up to Peter. He smirks and reaches in his back pocket and pulls out a gun. I begin to shake my head violently. He is going to kill me. That's all I can think. I try to scream but my throat won't work.
I start to cry. I know this is the end and can't do anything about it. I understand why Peter and Drew would do this but Four and Uriah? I didn't think Four hated me enough to kill me and Uriah? Oh Uriah. I thought you liked me.
I cry harder."Any last words stiff?" Peter asks. I try to speak but I can't. "I guess not," he says and points the gun at my head. I hear the shot but not the pain.
I shoot up in my bed screaming. I feel hands on my shoulders trying to get me to calm down but I just hit and kick thinking it is Uriah and Drew.
"Tris! Tris, snap out of it!" I know that voice. Uriah.
"Get off of me! You tried to kill me." I scream and curl up in a ball. He picks me up in his arms and puts me in his lap. "Shh… Tris, I didn't try to kill you. I would never do that. I look up at him for the first time and see his face streaked with tears.
I chuckle a little and he looks at me like I'm crazy. "Why are you crying?" I ask him. He looks down, and I grab his chin and pull it up so that he has to look at me. "Why?" I ask again. He shakes his head, "I'm crying because it hurts me to see you his way." I'm shocked. He really does care about me. I smile.
I pull him towards me and connect my lips to his. The kiss is slow and passionate. We kiss for a while until I hear a throat being cleared behind me. I reluctantly pull away and look behind me to see Four. "The job ceremony starts in 5 minutes." Is all he says and walks out. I look over to Uriah and give him a quick peck before jumping off his lap.
I hear him groan and I shoot him a look. "Can't I just stay here and kiss my beautiful girlfriend?" he asks, pouting. I fake a gasp, "Uriah, are you cheating on me?" His face goes serious. "Tris, do you really not think you're beautiful?" he asks. I look down and shake my head.
He comes up to me and lifts my chin with his finger. My head moves but I keep my eyes trailed on the ground. "Tris, look at me." He says. I surrender and look up into his eyes. He looks hurt. "Tris, you are one of the most beautiful girls I know. I am so glad that you allowed me to be your boyfriend. You honestly don't know how beautiful you are." He leans down and gently kisses me.
In this moment, I know I made the right decision saying yes to Uriah.
Four POV
I look at my watch for the 7th time in the last 5 minutes. The job ceremony starts in 10 minutes and there is still no sign of Tris or Uriah. If I had to guess, they're together so it shouldn't take me long to find them. I get up and let Max know that I'll be right back and head toward the dorms. I check the Dauntless-born dorms first. Nothing.
When I walk over to the transfers I hear an almost inaudible moan. Great.
I walk in and see Tris and Uriah making out on her bed. His hands are around her hips and hers are tangled in his hair. I have the sudden urge to attack Uriah but I suppress it because it would look suspicious. Instead I clear my throat.
Tris turns her head to look at me, shooting daggers with her eyes. "The job ceremony starts in 5 minutes." I say and walk out. I expect to hear footsteps behind me as I make my way down the hall but I don't. I am about to go back and yell at them for being late but I know it's not the lateness that is causing me to become infuriated. It's the fact that Uriah has Tris. And I don't.
Uriah POV (thought you might like this)
Tris and I walk down to the ceremony hand in hand. I never really got the chance to ask Tris what she was choosing. "What job are you going to pick?" I ask turning to her. She looks up and smiles at me. I love her smile, her face, her everything. Wait, when did I get so mushy?
"I think I am going to train transfers but since that is only part time, I might become a leader if there is an open spot but I don't think there is. Max, Eric, and Riley already have it covered and we only have 3. What about you?" She replies. I smile at her. She would make a good leader. She is tough but also soft at the same time.
"I was planning on training Dauntless born and working in the control room." I say.
When we walk into the Pit there are people running around everywhere. Most of the adults have bottles of alcohol in their hands. I pull my hand away from Tris's and wrap my arm around her waist to ensure that I don't lose her in the crowd.
We make our way up to the stage and drop our stuff in our boxes with our names on them. I sit down next to Tris and grab her hand again. She smiles up at me. A real smile, not some fake smile she used during initiation.
Max comes up and knocks on the microphone to quiet everyone down. "We are not going to give huge speech since we gave one yesterday but I would personally like to congratulate you all on your initiation into Dauntless. I expect to see great things from all of you. Now time for you all to choose your jobs. Tris."
Tris POV
"Tris," Max says turning toward me. I walk up to stand in front of him. "What job would you like Tris? I must let you know though; we do have an opening in leadership." He says and gets his pen ready.
"I want to be a Dauntless leader and train transfers." I say firmly. He nods his head and writes down my position. He hands me the clipboard and I look over the paper. It has my general information on it along with my jobs and apartment. I sign the paper and hand him the clipboard back.
He turns toward the audience, "I am pleased to announce that the new Dauntless leader is Tris Prior." I smile and he turns back to me. He hands me key chain with 4 keys on it. "The four keys on here are as followed; apartment, office, mailbox, and garden." I look at him confused. I didn't know Dauntless had a garden. I take them from him and shake his hand. He pulls me toward him slightly and whispers into my ear, "You are taking Eric's position. He was exiled to the Factionless. The reasons why will be discussed later. I look forward to working with you." I smile at him and go to sit down.
I walk past Uriah to my seat and I give his hand a reassuring squeeze. He smiles up at me.
The jobs chosen are as followed:
Uriah- Dauntless born trainer and Control Room
Lynn- tattoo artist
Marlene- nurse
Peter- fighting for entertainment (well doesn't that fit well)
Will- control room
Christina- nurse and Dauntless born trainer
The last 3 end up at fence guards.
Uriah grabs both of our stuff and grabs my hand. We walk off the stage and toward the apartment elevators. "Where are you?" he asks. I look down at my keys and it says leader room 3. I show it to him and he nods. He hits the elevator button and it opens.
He hits the level nine button and we begin our assent. "Your apartment is on the other side of the compound. Since we were here I thought we would go up to mine and drop off my stuff before taking you to yours if that's okay?" I smile and nod. At least I would know where his apartment is.
We arrive and step out onto the floor. He turns left and then another left then stops at a door. "Well, this is it." He takes the keys out of his pockets and unlocks the door. He holds the door open for me and I step in, him following suit. I look around and see that the walls are all painted black. There is a full size bed to the left and a small kitchen and living area on the right. It's small but perfect for someone living on their own.
Uriah walks over and places his stuff on the bed then plops down on the bed. I walk over to him and stand next to his head. He looks up and smirks at me and the next thing I know, I am being thrown on the bed and Uriah is hovering over me. He smiles down at me and I smile back. I place my hands on the side of his face and bring his lips down to mine.
The kiss starts out slow but is soon turns into a quick and fierce one. He lowers himself down onto me so that he is lying on top of me but not crushing me. I move my hands and play with the hem of his shirt. He notices it and pulls back just enough for him to pull it off of him. He lies back down and I rest my hands on his back while he plays with my hair.
I can feel his muscles contract as I run my hand up and down his back. He moves so that he is kissing down my neck and a small moan escapes my lips. I can feel him smile against my skin and I giggle. He starts to move further down and that's when my stomach feels like it's about to lurch out of me. Instead of telling him to stop, I grab his face and bring his lips back up to mine. Slowing him down until he has finally calmed down. He pulls away from me and lays on his back. Breathing as hard as I am if not more.
I realize then that I stopped him because of my fear and I roll over on my side and curl up into a ball, wrapping my arms around my knees. He must have noticed because he turns over and drapes an arm across my stomach, pulling me into him. He rests his head on top of mine and I put my hand over his.
"I'm sorry." I whisper and I feel him shake his head. "For what?" he replies, his breath tickling my ear causing me to shiver. He must have felt it because I hear him chuckle. "I'm sorry I can't give you what you want." Suddenly I he sits up and pulls me with him. He turns me so that I am facing him.
"Tris don't ever apologize for that. And honestly, I don't know how much further I would have gone. I don't think I am ready for that either. Can you tell me what you're actually afraid of though?" I nod and drop my head. "Intimacy. It was one of my fears in my landscape." I look up when I'm done and see a stern faced Uriah staring at me.
"Why are you staring at me?" I ask and he smiles. "Because you're beautiful." He says and kisses me lightly.
(A/N: who can tell me what that last line is from?)
