Tobias.

I open the door not knowing what I was expecting. But I'm not surprised when I am faced with an eerie stair case leading into the dark epitome of nowhere. The steps do not squeak and there are not many of them. Thank god. It's just extremely dim, not dangerous. I arrive at the last step and curve my head while my back is against the wall so she won't see me.

I was stupid to come find Tris and think nothing would be going on. Of course she has a secret. This is Tris after all.

I look into the room and hold my gasp.

It's the simulation room from Dauntless. But it's not.

It's a room with the same dentist chair and wiring set up and computer screen. It's the same exact room. But it's not.

My jaw drops and a million questions and possibilities come to mind. But the biggest question; what the hell is going on?

"I know you're here." She says calmly.

I step further into the room.

"I almost wanted you to see this."

I'm confused beyond words.

"Explain. Please." I beg.

"I don't know where to start." She nods her head down.

"How about the beginning?"

"When I was sixteen, a few months after my parents died I got into an accident. I had amnesia and lost all of my memories. They never came back. I was told who I was. That I lived in Indianapolis my whole life and my parents were Andrew and Natalie smith. I even had friends from my past try and redeem my lost memories but nothing was ever the same. For the next two years I tried to pick my life up. I got this job, I bought new clothes. I moved onto being the independent person I am."

She is no longer talking to me. She is just spewing out words.

"But I got lonely. No friends. No family. No siblings. Just me. And so I did some research. It was stupid of me not to realize it earlier. Apparently there was never an Andrew or Natalie Smith in Indianapolis. Nor was there a Beatrice Smith. Since then, I knew everything was a sham. I've been trying to find who did this to me but I keep failing. So now I'm working on a serum that can bring my memories back."

She holds up the paper she was hiding from me earlier and rips it up.

"It's just too complicated. I keep printing out new formulas but they never work. I have no luck. Only determination."

"I'll help you." I say firmly.

She looks up at me with emotion displayed all over her face. And for a second, I see her. I see Tris.

I sit down on the chair next to her. We aren't touching, but it feels like it.

"Every day. After work hours we can meet down here. No one will know."

She nods.

"You know Tobias, I told you just about everything there is to know about me. Which I don't do. Ever. Shouldn't you return the favor?"

"You want to know everything there is to know about me?"

"Yes. I think."

I laugh. "There's not. To be honest I'm pretty boring."

"I highly doubt that is even remotely possible. Just tell me something. Anything. Oh I know! Tell me about your first love."

Oh god. You are my first love, Tris.

"Uhm. Okay. Well she was a little younger than me. She was beautiful. She looked a lot like you. She deserved better than me. We got in too many fights. We spent more time avoiding each other and arguing than loving each other. I regret that. You never appreciate your time with a person until they're gone. I spent so much time being mad at her that I never got to appreciate her enough. She's gone now. And it's too late."

Tris looks sad. For me. Pity of course. I've had my share of it.

"I'm so sorry. You had it a lot worse than me. At least I was lucky enough to lose the memories with my parents."

I look at her.

"Just ignore that I just said that."

We both smile and it feels nice. If only she knew that I'm smiling because she isn't really gone. She's just lost. And I can lead her back in the right direction. If I can get this serum to work, she will remember me and her parents and why she is alive.

"Here, let's get out of here. I want to go home." She suggests.

"Okay. I walk you."

"You don't know where I live."

"Actually, I do. But I'm not a creeper. We live in the same building. I've seen you in and out of the elevator."

I'm not lying. I have. I just never wanted to bring it up.

"Okay then. Shall we?" She holds out her arm and I link mine to hers. I wish it was the real Tris. I wish she would kiss me and laugh at some dumb Abnegation joke. But I can't wish for such things yet. Not until I make the serum.

I had much experience with the serums back in Dauntless. Even though its impressive Tris has gotten so far with no training, I'm sure I can figure it out. I don't exactly have a choice. This is the only way to get Tris back.

"Well. This is me. Whenever you need to borrow toilet paper or something." She says while standing awkwardly by her door. She looks good. I've noticed this for the 20th time today.

"Okay. Goodnight Tris."

Crap.

"Tris?"

"You know, short for Beatrice. It suits you."

She smiles shyly. She is growing on me from the ice queen I met just a short time ago.

"Okay. But no one else can call me that." She quickly walks into her room and shuts the door.

I walk back to my room feeling great. Everything is going great.

I just can't wait for something to screw it all up.

Whoo! How was that? Just warning you, a bomb will be dropped next chapter. And I purposely left some things unexplained or unanswered so if youre confused on something just hang tight because I will probably get to it sometime in the story.

Anyway, everyone in my school is talking about Divergent and omg it is so weird. And annoying when people who annoy me start talking about it. But I have this black, and really ghetto friend who has a weave and she is reading it. Which is huge because she never reads. And she actually likes the book and im so proud of her! Anyway, Review please. It would make my boring life less boring?

REVIEW PLEAASE!
