(I do not own Divergent. Nor will I ever. I just own my ideas)
Hey guys,
Another extended period of time in which I don't update. I am so sorry. I am just so busy right now. I only have been able to work on chapters when I'm traveling or when I have a few minutes so that is why this took so long.

Uriah POV
I'm walking down to the cafeteria to met Tris for dinner. It feels like I haven't seen her in so long. I can't wait to have her in my arms again. As I approach the cafeteria, I see Four and Tris go down the hallway right next to the room. That's odd. I decide to follow them to let Tris know it's time for dinner.
"Hey Tris, you ready to…? I pause when I see what is going on. Tris has Four pushed up against the wall and is kissing him. She turns her head when she hears my voice. "What the hell is going on here?" I yell and she immediately jumps away from him. "Uriah, I can explain," She starts walking towards me hesitantly but I can barely stand the sight of her right now. I turn around and walk out into the pit.
I hear her footsteps behind me and it only makes me speed up more. I get to the elevator and as soon as the doors open, I rush inside. I try to get the doors to shut but they don't close fast enough and she slips in right before they close. I turn my back to her and she sighs. We both remain silent all the way up to my floor. When the doors open again, I step out and head toward my apartment. Tris close on my heels.
Again, I try to block her out by shutting my apartment door but right before it shuts, she rams her foot inside. I step back from the door and it opens fully. She steps in hesitantly before fully walking in and closing the door.
"Uriah…" she starts but I don't let her get any further. "Please tell me this is all just a mistake and I didn't just see you kissing Four." I say shaking my head. "Yes, it was just a onetime thing." She says but when I look up she is biting her lip. She is lying to me. "Don't lie to me!" I scream and she flinches. "What do you want me to tell you?! That I've been dating Four behind your back for a while now? That I love you as a brother but not as a lover? That I'm in love with him?" She screams back at me and it takes me a second to process what she said. She's in love with him!
"Get out. I can't do this right now." I say quietly, trying to fight the tears in my eyes. "Uriah…" She comes closer to me and puts her hand on my arm but I immediately pull back. "I said get out!" I scream in her face and I can see the tears swimming in her eyes as well. She turns and quickly opens and slams the door.
Once she's gone, I walk over to the door , debating whether or not to call her back. No, I can't do that. I turn and slide down my door, finally allowing for my tears to slide town my face.
Tris POV
"Get out. I can't do this right now." Uriah says quietly and I can see the tears swimming in his eyes while trying to fight my own off. "Uriah…" I attempt to talk to him and place my hand on his arm but he recoils immediately. "I said get out!" he screams in my face
As I walk out the door I can feel my heart break a little. It isn't because I just lost someone whom I loved but he was also a friend who I loved as a brother.
I make my way back down to the pit and when the doors open, Tobias is standing right outside the door. I walk straight across the pit and toward the leader elevators. I get in and Tobias follows suit. I insert my key and we go up to my apartment. On the elevator ride up, I text Christina telling her that something came up and we can reschedule our get together.
We both step out of the elevator when it reaches my floor and dive myself into my couch. "Tris…" I hear Tobias say and I turn my head to see him sitting on my coffee table. "Don't. We both know that kiss in the hallway shouldn't have happened since we had to keep our relationship private. If that one damned kiss didn't happen, we wouldn't have this problem right now. I could have just gone with Uriah for dinner tomorrow and told him that we needed to break up. He wouldn't have been happy but he wouldn't have screamed in my face." I say and the tears that had vanished during our trip through the pit reemerge.
I lay there and cry into the pillow for a couple minutes until I feel Tobias move and kneel beside me. "Look Tris, if you need some time to think things over I would understand. I get you loved him. Maybe not like you love me but still. I think I'm just going to go…" he says and starts to get up but I grab his wrist before he gets anywhere. He looks down at me and I sit up. I pull him down onto the couch and curl my body into his. "No. I don't need time to think. Like I said, I was going to break up with him anyway. And even though this isn't the way I wanted it to happen, it did and we can't change that. I love you and I want you to stay." I blush at the last part and hide my face in his chest. I feel him lightly chuckle and his hand comes up to play with my hair.
"I'm not going anywhere, Tris." He says and kisses my head. I slowly start to feel myself drift off and finally allow sleep to overcome me.
-PAGE BREAK-
I wake up and look around. I'm lying on my couch but Tobias isn't here. "Tobias," I call out and get up to look around. I check all the room and when I come out of my bedroom I hear yelling. I follow the sound and see Uriah and Tobias yelling at each other in the kitchen.
"You don't deserve her, she was mine first! You took her away from me!" Uriah screams. "It's not my fault she wanted me. I wanted her but it was her decision. Maybe she wanted someone who could actually care for her. And don't worry, you've got someone in your back pocket. Why don't you just go to Marlene, she'll take care of your pitiful self." Tobias says before turning around and walking away. Uriah is fuming and grabs the closest knife off the kitchen counter. "You son of a bitch" he yells and launches the knife into Tobias's back. He crumples to the ground and I scream and try to get to him but I can't. My body won't move. I fall to my knees and cry.
I sit up with a start and cry out. There are tears streaming down my face and I am sweating like crazy. "Tris!" I hear Tobias say from beside me and I turn to him. He takes one look at my face and gathers me up in his arms. I cry until there are no tears left and I pull away from him. Tobias moves his hand up to my face and wipes away the remaining tears. "What happened, love?" "You… you died… he killed you… and I watched… but I couldn't do anything." I say through heavy breaths. "Who killed me?" he asks curious. "Uriah. He threw a knife at you and it killed you." I feel the next round of tears come on but they don't turn into sobs. They just quietly run down my cheeks. Tobias tries to keep them at bay and he finally succeeds after a couple minutes.
After I calm down enough, I look around and realize I'm in my bed. I chuckle lightly, "How did we get here?" He blushes slightly and turns his head, "I carried you in here although I didn't feel comfortable changing your clothes so that why you are still in your clothes from today." I turn and kiss his cheek before getting up and walking to the end of my bed. Tobias's shirt lies folded at the end of my bed and I take it before going into the bathroom. I strip off my clothes, dump them into the hamper, then pull on his shirt.
I come back out of the bathroom and slip back into bed. Tobias pulls me into him so that I am facing him. "Is that my shirt?" "Maybe…" I say with a smirk before pecking him softly. I go to pull back quickly but instead Tobias puts his hand on my lower back and pulls me closer to him and deepens the kiss. I kiss back eagerly and he slowly pushes himself up and on top of me so that he is hovering over me. His left run up my sides, underneath the shirt and around my back, causing me to arch into him.
He moves his lips down my neck and peppers kisses across my neck and collarbone. I try to suppress the moan threatening to leave my throat but I am unable to and it comes out. I hear Tobias growl from about me and he quickly flips us over to I'm on top. "Sorry, I may be strong but I hate having to hover over you. I'd rather be able to hold you close like this since I don't want to crush you." He says and I chuckle. "That's quite alright." I say and sit up so that I am straddling his waist and he puts his hands behind his head and relaxes back against the pillows.
I move around a little to get comfortable but when I hear Tobias moan, I whip my head around and raise an eyebrow at him. "Tris, you are in a very compromisable position right now." He says gruffly and then it finally occurs to me. I smirk when I realize and begin to move myself around a little more but not as rough as I was but just slowly. Tobias grips my hips tightly and I stop. "Tris, please. If you keep that up I'm going to lose my self control and I know we aren't ready for this." "I know Tobias," I say quietly and peck his lips before getting off of him and turning away from him.
He comes up behind me and wrap his arms around my middle and nuzzles his head into my hair. "Sleep tight Tris." He says and I quickly hear his breathing even out. Although I can't seem to shut down and fall back to sleep. I huff out and stealthily get out of bed without waking Tobias.
I walk over to my closet and grab a pair of workout capris and a sports bra. I got into the bathroom and change into them then put Tobias's shirt back on and tie the back so it fits better. I slip out of the bedroom and over to the elevators. Right before I put the key in the slot I think about writing Tobias a note in case he gets up.
I move over to the counter in my kitchen and grab a pen and paper from a drawer.
IV,
Went down to the training room because I couldn't sleep. Don't worry about me.
Love you,

I laugh to myself at my funny use of our nicknames but it's something that makes us us. I leave the paper on the island where Tobias would see it, grab my phone and keys then head down to the training room.
When I arrive, I hear the distinct noise of knives hitting the board. I look at my watch and it indicates it's 2:30am. Who the hell is up at this hour? I push the door open and I curse at myself for making my entrance so loud. In stands Uriah, knife in hand ready to throw but his head is turned toward me.
"I'll just be going…" I say and turn around. "Wait!" he calls out and I turn back around. "What Uriah? You want to scream at me some more?" I spit out bitterly. "No, I want to apologize. I'm sorry for screaming in your face." He says this quietly but he doesn't seem like himself. I come a little closer and once I'm about 10 feet away from him I get a large whiff of alcohol and cough. He's drunk!
"Uriah, we can't talk right now. You're drunk and I can't talk to you if you're drunk because you don't even know what you are saying. Come on, I'll take you back to your apartment." I come closer but he snaps. "No! I'm staying here." He yells and throws the knife that I forgot he had in his hand. I feel the burn of the knife entering my left thigh and scream. I look down and see blood gushing from my leg. I then turn my head up and see Uriah passed out on the floor.
Through gritted teeth, I manage to get my phone out of my pocket. I quickly hit my speed dial and call Tobias. He answers on the third ring. "Tobias! Help me!" is all I manage to get out before blackness takes me over.
Tobias POV
I wake up startled and look around to see what woke me up. My phone is ringing on the bedside table and I groan before answering. "Four," I say harshly. "Tobias! Help me!" I hear the person on the other side say and I immediately know it's Tris. "What? Tris, where are you? Tris!" I scream into the phone but she doesn't answer. I jump out of bed and pull on my pants and grab my sweatshirt from the door. I race over to the elevator but a little slip of paper catches my eye. I turn and read the note on the counter.

She's in the training room. I slam my hand into the button on the elevator and rush inside. The moments that it takes to get down to the pit kill me. As soon as the doors open, I sprint out of them and rush towards the training room. I slam right into the door and it opens. What I see nearly makes me sick. Tris is lying on the ground unconscious with a knife jutting out of her leg. Next to her is Uriah who is also unconscious but based off the bottles on the knife table, he is drunk unconscious.
I race towards Tris and inspect her leg. Blood is running out of it in every which way and I know I need to stop it quickly. I take my belt out from my pants and wrap it and fasten it about the knife so it slows down the blood. I carefully pick up my limp girlfriend and rush out of the training room and down to the infirmary.
I burst through the doors of the infirmary and scream, "Help!" A nurse from behind the desk comes around and her face shows horror. "Oh god, Doctor!" Dr. Reid rounds the corner and jumps into action. "Vitals," he says to the nurse and again, she starts saying numbers that don't make sense to me. They start to move her down the hallway and I try to follow but the nurse puts her hand across my chest to stop me. I keep my feet planted, starting down the hallway for a couple minutes until the shock wears off and anger replaces it. I turn around and stalk back to the training room.
Once I'm through the door I'm ready to burst. "Get up!" I roar and Uriah sits up. He sits and rubs his head. "What the hell were you doing?" "What? Oh, hey Four." I think it takes him a second to realize it's me. "Four!" he jumps up. "Get out of here. I never want to see your face again." "You've got a lot of nerve saying that to me. Thanks to you, Tris is fighting for her life! Again!" I scream at him and he shakes his head. "What? How is it my fault?" I shake my head, he and Zeke are very similar drinkers. "You threw a knife at her you idiot!" I say and point to the blood on the ground.
"Oh my god! Where is she now? I have to see her." He says trying to storm past me but I catch him and flip him so he is on the ground. I put my foot on his chest and he stares up at me.
"You are not going anywhere near her. Now get out of here before I do something I regret!"
