We do not own Divergent or any of the characters. Veronica Roth owns them. We only own the plot of this story.

Warning: This chapter is slightly OOC! Just to let you know.


Tobias' POV:
Tris's tears made my shirt damp. I knew how hard it is for her to get over Will. "Tris, you know I love you. Right?" I told her.

"I-I-I know." She stuttered through the tears.

"And you know you can tell me anything?" I questioned.

She nodded.

"Anything to tell me?" I said, and I didn't want to push too far, but I feared it was the only way.

She pulled out of my strong embrace and climbed out of our cramped bed. She went the bathroom and pulled out a box hidden in a small cabinet behind the toilet.

"Take it." She said while wiping her eyes. She held the box out for me and I grabbed it from her hand carefully.

I opened the lid, slowly, cautiously. It was filled with razors and pills.


Tris's POV:

I gave Tobias my box of weapons.

I saw the horrified expression on his face and immediately knew he would leave me. He took the box and sat at our table, his mouth in a permanent 'O'.

He picked through the contents of the box. 6 razors, some clean, some smeared with dried blood. And almost empty bottles of pills.

"These were my best friends before I transferred to dauntless." I explained.

His mouth moved like he was trying to speak, but no words made a sound.

"I've told you I was bullied. The stuff I told you was just a dip in the pool. It was a whole lot worse then you realized. In the third year of upper school, things got awful. I was always the smallest girl, I was skinnier than the other girls and they were envious. And I was short, making things worse. And to top it off, I had a face full of acne. These girls, Candor I think they were, started making fun of me, calling me things like: short-stuff, midget, Thumbelina, etc." I didn't really get the last one, it was probably from the past. "Then they harassed me. I tried to ignore them, but they changed some of their classes just to torture me. They started really despicable rumors and everyone was gullible enough to believe them. They said that I had a gun in my locker, and that I had been arrested. Other people joined in and eventually, almost the whole school was turned against me, even the seniors. These, these weapons were my only friends. These took me to another world without pain and suffering, only smiles and happiness. And in fact, when I thought it couldn't get worse, people started physically abusing me. And funny, these seniors used whips against me, and hit me with the butts of guns." My voice getting louder, to almost a shout. "And the worst whipping I got was from a masked senior who went by the nickname T.E. And the only thing I remember about him was his dark blue, shining eyes." I finished, my fists clenching.

Then it dawned on me.

The worst beating I had ever gotten was from the one I loved, Tobias.


Hey Guys! Sorry if this chapter is OOC, but it wasn't as bad as before. It started out as Tris being fat, but then that was way too OOC so I changed it. And sorry about it being such a long time, we've been really busy. Anyhow, please review! Love you guys to the moon and back!
