A/N Reminder: I do not own Divergent. Veronica Roth does.

I only own plot and Denise and Talia. Enjoy!

Chapter 1 *Six months later*

Something was terribly wrong. Toby was nothing like he had been. I could literally see the dread in his eyes when we neared Abnegation after school. He told me he hated returning home after school. I knew he missed his mother, but I had a feeling something else was going on as well.

I didn't tell my parents about my suspicions because they would immediately tell Marcus. I was suspicious that Marcus had something to do with Toby's dread. So I kept quiet.

Time went on, and Toby wasn't getting any better. If anything, he was getting worse. I was worried, but Toby told me it was just grief. I believed him.

We spent a lot of time together and just talked. Tobias talked nonstop about his mother. He never mentioned his father, though. He would tell me about games his mom would play with him. Every time he told me about how close they had been, my heart ached. I knew Tobias was just trying to find a way to cope with his loss. He was eight. At six, I couldn't imagine losing my mother. My mom was always there as a support system. Tobias didn't have a support system. His father was rarely home, and when he was, he was busy and stressed, according to my father.

I was Tobias's support system. But I didn't understand anything he was going through. All I could do was listen to stories about his mom, or when he was four, and his dad spent more time with him.

Every night after dinner, my mother would ask me about Tobias.

That night my mom said "How is Tobias doing, Beatrice?"

"He's sad." I said. "He talks about his mom constantly. He is just so sad." I said. My eyes filled with tears. "I just don't know how to help him."

"We can't help him, Beatrice." My father said. "We have to let him go through the grieving process. He'll get better in time."

I nod. "All you can do is be there for him." My mom said.

When I get ready for bed that night, I hear a muffled scream. It's probably one of the factionless, but I think of Tobias. My heart aches for his pain.

That night, I don't sleep.

A/N Okay. That is the first chapter. Please review. This is my first story and I would like to know how I am doing. :D
