Tris POV
I wake up fairly early and look around the room. I start to panic because this is not my apartment. I am about to get up but a door opens before I can so I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep again.
I hear the movements of the person until I feel the mattress dip slightly by my head. The person moves a couple strands of hair from my face before saying, "Tris. I know you're up." Tobias.
I groan and snuggle closer into the pillows. "Come on Tris. Don't make me get you up." He says and my eyes snap open. There are only inches between us and I think he notices too. Before I can move, he closes the space between us and presses his lips to mine. I don't know why but I feel the urge to kiss him back, so I do. I feel him smiles against my lips.
He moves his tongue over my lower lip, asking for entrance. I don't think twice before allowing him. He moves up onto the bed and lies beside me, not breaking away. Our kisses are long and passionate and soon I feel like I am going to run out of air. He must have too because he moves down my jaw and neck. Placing light kisses up and down the area. I try to suppress a moan but fail and let it out.
He moves slowly back up to my lips until he meets them and then stops. He leans his head forward and rests it on mine. He is breathing is heavy as is mine. "I'm sorry Tris. I shouldn't have done that" he says, his voice thick with lust.
"No, Tobias. I'm sorry. I feel bad that I kissed you back and about the kiss yesterday but for some reason. I don't regret it. I need time to think." I say before moving to get out of his bed. I go over to the door and walk out.
In the living room, is the last person I expected to be there.
Uriah
He must have heard the door open because he turns around and his eyes go wide. He gets up and moves towards me. He picks me up and spins me. "Oh my god, Tris. I was so worried about you." He says and kisses me. I kiss back but feel a twinge of guilt since I was just kissing Tobias a minute ago.
I pull away and look at him. "I'm fine Uriah. I just wandered off and couldn't really find my way back." I say and he nods. "I know. Four told me what happened. He told me he found you next to the tracks about 5 minutes from the compound. He said you crashed on the train so he brought you here."
Just then Tobias walks out of his bedroom, his hair wet. Uriah turns to him, "Thank you so much Four. I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to her." Four nods and walks toward the kitchen.
"Can we go back to my apartment? I want to get changed and I am hungry." I say to Uriah and he nods. He takes my hand and we walk to the elevator. The doors open and I take my key and put it in the apartment slot on the inside. We go up a floor and the doors open to my apartment.
"I'll just be a few minutes. Make yourself at home. As if you wouldn't anyway." I say the last part more to myself but I know he heard it based on his laughing.
I make my way over my bedroom and head for the closet first. I grab a black skirt, red tank top, and keep the leather jacket I was wearing. For some odd reason, I feel like looking decent today. I am in and out of the shower in 5 minutes flat and end up sitting at my vanity looking at all the products Christina gave me and realize I don't know what half of them are.
I decide to call her and see if she is free. When I turn on my phone I see a notification and open it. It's a text message from Max
Tris,
Meeting at noon in room 10.
Max
I look over the clock and nearly scream. 11:45? Why do I never get these messages at a time that doesn't make me run?
I grab my jacket off the bed and run into the living room. Uriah stands up and I run straight into him. "Sorry babe. Emergency meeting again. See you at dinner. Bye" I spit out the words fast before getting in the elevator and going upstairs.
When I arrive at the meeting room, I take a minute to slow my breathing and straighten myself out. That's when I realize that this isn't my jacket. It hangs on my and is too big. I take it off and lay it over my arm. When I'm sure I look okay, I open up the door and am disappointed when I get there. Max and Tobias are just standing there talking.
I clear my throat and they both look at me. "Good to see you Tris. Or should I say Six?" he says and I look at him. "Right. So let's make this quick and painless. I have called you both here because I am sending both of you to Erudite, Candor, Amity, and Abnegation. Actually, I won't be sending Tris and Tobias. I will be sending Four and Six. You will spend a week at each faction before returning back for a special choosing ceremony. Johanna, Andrew, and I discussed this and we agreed to have a Factionless choosing ceremony. They will all have the ability to choose a faction."
I look toward Tobias and see he has the same stunned expression I have. "So, what are we supposed to actually be doing during this time?" I ask. "Ah, that's where the fun part comes in. You will spend a week being a member of the particular faction you are in. You will wear those clothes, eat their food, do their jobs, and live by their virtue. This will allow you to get the feel of each faction for what it is. This will allow you to better place the Factionless into a faction." He finishes and I probably look even more confused.
"Gosh, do I have to explain everything to you two?" he throws his hands up but I know he is kidding by the smile on his face. "There is no more aptitude test. Instead of a test, all of the instructors will come together and meet each Factionless individually. You will then decide, based on the knowledge you have of each faction, where the person belongs. There is one test that each one of them will go through though. It will test to see if they are Divergent. If they are, they will be allowed to pick where they want to go without any instruction. Do you understand?" he asks and we both nod.
"Good. You leave tomorrow." He says and then makes a quick exit. I look toward Tobias and see he is staring at me. "What?" I ask with a smirk. "Oh, nothing. We should get packing, it shouldn't take us long since we can't wear our own clothes but we still need to pack the essentials." He puts air quotes around essential and I know what he is insinuating.
I go over to him and slap him. He holds his arm and says, "What was that for?" I smile, "That was for your essentials." I say and he understands. "I was just making sure you were going to have everything." He says and I just shake my head. I go to the door but I remember his jacket before I leave. I walk it over to him and his thanks me for it.
I go back and turn to open the door but he shuts it first. "Meet me at the chasm at 11?" he asks and I nod. I know what he wants to talk about.
-PAGE BREAK-
I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. I don't know what I am going to say to Tobias when we meet because I honestly don't know how I feel.
I love Uriah but I don't know in which ways. Sometimes I feel like he is my big brother and others I feel like he is my boyfriend. But with Tobias I never question how I feel with him. He makes me feel so loved but in a desirable way.
My brain says Uriah but my heart says Tobias. Ugh! I need help.
I get up to call Christina and ask her to come over but she is obviously two steps ahead of me because as I am walking to get my phone off the dresser, the little panel on the way next to the door lights up and starts to ring.
I walk over to it and see a couple buttons. I press the one that say surveillance and the screen shows a visual of Christina. "Hello?" I say hesitantly and she looks at the camera. "Hey Tris. Let me up." She says and I see two buttons at the bottom, a green and a red. I press the green and the screen goes blank.
I go out into the living room and see a bursting Christina walking out of the elevator. She runs over to me and hugs me. "Tris, how are you? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever. Have you gone through your closet yet? How about your vanity? I am going to have to explain everything to you aren't I? How are you and—" she spits out words a mile a minute and I have to cover her mouth with my hand to get her to stop. "Slow down. And the answers are I'm good, yes, yes, and yes. Now, are you done?" I ask and she nods.
"Good, now would you mind explaining practically everything that you gave me?" I ask and she nods. If I get her doing something she enjoys first, she won't hound me too bad when I start explaining the Uriah and Tobias situation.
Christina goes through about half of my closet, explaining what everything is and when to wear it before she starts asking me questions. "So how are you and Uriah?" I sigh and look at her. "We're fine." I say. "Tris, you do realize I was raised to spot a lie. So really, how are you and Uriah?" Ugh! Curse her and her Candorness but I did want to tell her.
"I don't know Chris. I think there might be someone else." I say and she turns around shocked. "What? How could you do that to him? He loves you. Wait. Who is it?" I look down toward the floor. "Four," I mutter quietly but I know she heard me.
"What?! Four, as in our scary, I hate you Tris, throw knives at you head Four?" she asks and I nod. She drops the clothes she had in her hand and takes me to the windows in my bedroom. She opens up the drapes and looks out into the Pit. She must be looking for someone because when she finds them she pulls me toward her.
"That Four?" she asks and I look to see Tobias talking with Zeke by the tattoo parlor. "Yes, for god sake Chris. Yes, that Four. What other Four do you know?" I nearly yell at her. She turns to me and smirks. "What?" I ask and she just shrugs her shoulders but doesn't wipe the smirk off her face.
She starts back on the clothes again and doesn't speak about Four until we hit the makeup. "So why do you think he's the one?" she asks and I have to resist a snort. "I didn't say he was the one. I said there might be someone else who is causing me to have problems with Uriah." She sighs and this time, pulls me over to my bed.
We sit down and she looks at me. "Why is he making your relationship with Uriah complicated?" I sigh and let my eyes search around the room for nothing in particular as I explain. "When I was in the infirmary, Four came to visit me. He thought I was asleep and he reveled some secrets to me. One of them was that he was in love with me."
I stop and look at her and she nods for me to continue. "Yesterday, after we went zip-lining, I sat in the chasm for a little while until Four came up to me. We talked and for some reason, I kissed him. That's why I wasn't at dinner last night. I didn't know what to say to him or Uriah so I ran away for a little while. I jumped on the train to come home but Four was there. He brought me to the Ferris Wheel and I fell asleep there. He brought me back to his apartment and I slept there last night." I decide to leave out the make out session we had this morning.
I take a deep breath before looking at her. When I do, she is smiling ear to ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask, slightly annoyed that she finds my problems amusing. "He really loves you," and I throw myself back on my bed.
"No duh." I say and she pulls me back up my arms. "What are you going to do?" she asks and I shake my head. "What do you think I should do?" She wraps her fingers around her chin and pretends to think really hard.
"I think you should get your feelings for both guys then talk to both of them. I know it's going to be hard but you can't have both. They both love you and I know they want you to be happy." I know she is right. "Thanks Chris. You really are a great friend." I say and hug her. "I know," she says and I laugh.
All of a sudden, both of our stomach's growl and that's when I realize I haven't eaten all day. "Can we go get dinner? I'm starving and I haven't eaten all day." I ask and she nods.
We both head down to the cafeteria, arms looped together. When we get there, we release each other to grab our food. I grab the stew that I really love and she grabs a hamburger and we both grab Dauntless cake.
When we get to our table I take my seat next to Uriah and she takes hers next to Will. "Hey Tris, how are you?" Uriah asks and kisses my cheek. I smile at his affection, "I'm okay but I am starving." I rub my stomach and he nods toward my food. I start to dig in and before I know it, I'm done. I sigh in contentment and Uriah leans back, wrapping his arm around the top of my chair. I lay my head on his shoulder and look up at him.
"Do you want to go?" he asks and I nod. We both grab our trash and throw it out on the way out. He grabs my hand as we walk and he takes me over to the regular elevators. "My apartment?" he asks and I nod. I know I need to discuss my trip with him and I don't want to do it here.
We ride up to his floor and get out. He leads me down the twists of the hallways until he get to his door. I grab the keys from his hand when he takes them out and unlock the door. He smiles at me and motions me inside. I walk in and take a seat on his couch. He comes over and plops down next to me, pulling me into his side.
"So, I was thinking. We should have our first official date tomorrow. I could take you out to dinner and then we could take a walk around the outside of the compound." He says and I lightly smile at him. "Uriah, that sounds wonderful, but I can't," I say hesitantly. The smile on his face disappears and he looks disappointed. "I'm sorry, but I leave tomorrow morning for a month. Max sprung this on Four and me this afternoon at our meeting. I have to go visit all the factions before the next choosing ceremony." I say and now he looks angry.
"Four? You and Four are going on a month long trip? Just you and him?" he asks and I nod. He gets up and starts to pace around the room. I start to get worried so I just sit there and keep quiet. "You said you didn't know about this till this morning?" he asks, angrily. "Yes Uriah. Why are you getting so upset? It's just a business trip." I say trying to calm him.
"I don't like this. If you two are going then why isn't Max? He is a leader too." He asks coming up to me and squatting. "It's just for the transfer initiate instructors. I'm sorry I am leaving but don't get upset. Trust me; nothing is going to happen beside me doing my job. Got it." I lie because I don't know if that is true. I take his face in my hands and kiss him to distract myself.
He kisses me back and I pull away a moment later. We lean our foreheads together and I think of Tobias. How it feels different with Uriah then with him.
"I love you Tris," he says.
"I love you too Uriah."
It's not a full lie because I do love him. I don't know what type of love I feel, but there is some type of love there.
A/N: OMG. Longest chapter ever. Over 3,000 words. I can believe I wrote that many words. Tell me how you like it. I worked hard.
