Sorry hat it;s been a long time but, yay, another update! However, I noticed that the last chapter didn't get many reviews :( So for this chapter I tried whatever I could to make everyone happy so please review/PM me and tell me what think, like/dislike, etc.

*WARNING: this is a long chapter, and there is a lot of dialog. So, like chapter 15, there will be two parts for this chapter.

Enjoy! :)

*I am not Veronica Roth, therefore, I do not own Divergent, Insurgent, or Allegiant.

Chapter 18 (PART1)

Talia's POV

Oh my god, did I just flirt with a transfer? And did he just do the same back?

I guess I don't realize what's going on around me until someone pulls my arm and brings me back to reality.

"Talia? Hello, earth to Talia!" I shake my head and see Aria shaking my arm. "Why are you staring at the transfers? And why do you have a huge smile on your face?" She starts talking a mile a minute and I'm beginning to think that she won't take a break to breathe. Finally she stops, breathes, then continues. "And- wait a minute, I know that look." Her eyes go wide. "You have a crush on a transfer!" she practically yells so people start turning to face our direction.

I put my hand over her mouth before she says anything else that might attract more attention from people. "Aria, please! I'll talk to you about it when we are at dinner or something. But for now, do NOT say another word or... or... I'll think of something to do to you." she nods, moving my hand up and down while doing so.

I finally remove my hand and put it down at my side. "Ok. Oh, and one more thing. Don't tell my mom, or dad for that matter, anything about this." That's when I sense someone behind me, and Aria has a nervous look and is pointing behind me.

"Don't tell me what?" My eyes go wide and so do Aria's "Great. this should be fun..."

Will's POV

As I'm about to tell the Dauntless born that they are going to be training throughout initiation with the transfers this year, I hear something that I wouldn't normally hear right after the initiates jump. "You have a crush on a transfer!" I turn around and see Aria with a very excited look on her face looking at Talia. "Wait, Talia likes a transfer?! Nope, not happening. Where's Christina when I need her?" I take a quick look around and see Christina talking with Tris and Tobias, or Six and Four, as they want to be called around the initiates. I sigh, now I have to deal with this alone.

I go towards Talia and Aria where they're having their own conversation. And that's when I hear Talia speak, "...Don't tell my mom, or dad for that matter, anything about this." And just as I get behind Talia and I'm about to say something, I see Aria looking all nervous and pointing in my direction.

"Don't tell me what?" Talia seems to hesitate for a few seconds before turning around and puts on a fake smile. "Oh, hi dad. What's up?" She thinks that's going to work, she's got another thing coming?

"Talia, did I just hear that you like a transfer?" I give her a serious look and then Aria speaks up.

"Well, I'm going to go see Tristan. Um, see ya later, Talia!" she says as she starts to run off towards the Dauntless born group so now it's just me and Talia.

She looks in Aria's direction with her mouth gaped and she has the look of disbelief that her cousin just ditched her. "Talia." I say suddenly, snapping her out of it. She looks at me and stats explaining.

"Dad, it's nothing. Seriously, it's not like I'm going to date him... yet" She says the last word in a whisper so I couldn't hear it.

"What was that?" I say, getting slightly angry.

"Nothing. Dad, I'm 16. So stop worrying about who I like." then she quickly looks back at the Dauntless born then back at me. "Well, I gotta go, dad. See you later!" then she runs off.

"Talia! Get back here, we're not finished talking about this!" I yell to her, but she's already down the hallway. I just shake my head and sigh and walk towards Tris, Four, and Christina. When I get there, I put my arm around Christina's shoulder and kiss her cheek before I bend down to whisper in her ear. "I have something to tell you about Talia later." she looks concerned for a second until I reassure her that it's nothing bad.

She nods and goes back to talking to the other two about out anniversary far out in the Amity sector in a little cabin by a lake.

Sienna's POV

Being from Dauntless, me and the other Dauntless born initiates don't need a tour of the place, so our trainers said we could do whatever we want until dinner at 7:30 p.m. As I'm walking around, I didn't realize that Connor came by my side until I felt his hand lock with mine and he swings it back and forth while smiling.

"Connor, why are you smiling like that?" I ask him and he just shakes his head.

"No reason." And without another word, he leans close to me and kisses me. It's not a crazy passionate one, but one that lets me know how much he loves me. And I kiss him back just the same way.

When we pull back, I realize that he lead me into an empty hallway so he could kiss me like that. "Oh, and to answer your question, I wanted to tell you that Derek is throwing a Dauntless born only initiate party tonight and he said that I could bring anyone I want. So, I wanted to bring you. Do you want to go?" and his smile comes back from earlier.

"Sure. But please tell me that no ones parents are going to be there? I don't want word some how spreading about how I'm..." I trail off, still not really used to saying the 'P' word. He nods and pulls me close to him and I rest the side of my face against his chest while he rests his chin on my head.

He kisses my head and rubs my back as he speaks. "Nobody's parents are gonna be there. And by the way, Derek is the only one who knows about you being pregnant." when he says it, it makes me feel a little weird, but I guess it's something that I'm going to have to get used to. He continues to rub my back until he pulls away and we continue walking around the compound until 7:30 p.m.

Tristan's POV

Aria and I are just walking around the compound while the transfers are getting a tour around the place before dinner. And there is a Dauntless born only party tonight, and I was thinking about asking Aria to go with me. And I hear that there is going to be no adults around, so we can drink all we want before initiation officially begins tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.

I look over at Aria and she's looking around the compound then stops and stares in one direction. I follow her gaze towards the chasm. "Aria, why are you staring at the chasm for?"

She jumps a little, I guess she wasn't expecting me to say anything. "Oh. Uh, noth-. " She stops, then starts over. "Tristan, follow me." and with that, she takes my hand and guides me down the stairs to the chasm.

Once we get to the bottom and sit on some flat rocks and just watch the water from the underground river flow past us, she looks down at our hands, that I didn't know were locked together, and smiles.

Suddenly, she leans in and kisses me. Just like we did before she told me she was Divergent. But this time, I stop the kiss for a different reason. "Aria, while your were kissing me last night, it seemed like there was something else on your mind before we talked about our results. Care to tell me what it is?" I smirk and she slightly puts her head down and blushes, but nods too.

"Actually, yes. There was, but I don't think that what I wanted to tell, well, do with you, is something I want talk about now." She just looks at our hands, and so do I, and I just rub my thumb over the back of hers.

"On second thought," she looks up at me and looks me straight in the eyes. "I wanted to tell you that I love you, more than anything in the world. And I wanted to do something with you, that I, um... thought would show you how much I really do love you. And I was also hoping that you feel the same way enough to... um..." she trails off and whispers something that I can't hear.

"Aria, can you say that last part again?" she shakes her head, as if to say 'never-mind'. "Say it, or else I'll tickle you. And we both know how you hate to be tickled."

She instantly lifts her head up and I know that I've got her in a position where now she has to tell me what she whispered. "I said I was hoping you felt the same way for me, enough to... " again she stops, but this time she leans in close to me and whispers it in my ear. And in response to what she said, my eyes go wide.

"I can't believe it. Did she just ask me to sleep with her! Should I? I mean she is the love of my life, but I don't want her to sleep with me if that means that I could possible get her into some kind of trouble. What should I tell her?"

She leans back to how she was sitting earlier, but gets up, I guess, after she sees the look on my face. But before she can get even 2 feet away from our seats, I pull her back to me and make her sit on my lap. I kiss her, and she kisses back. It's hungry, not like the ones we usually share. She lets out a slight moan as I run my tongue over her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Which she gladly give me. Our tongues battle for dominance for the next couple of minutes before we pull away to catch our breaths.

It's silent except for the roaring water in front of us, and until I break the silence. "Aria, as much as I want to be with you that way too, I think that we should be in a more... appropriate setting. You know, preferably where no one else could randomly show up, and wrapped up cozily under comfortable blankets..." I whisper in her ear and I see her start to blush as I start kissing her jaw, down her neck, and stop at her shoulder.

"You're right. But just let me know when so I can get away from my dad. If he didn't approve of this," she gestures between the two of us, "before, then he definitely won't approve of what we are going to do." she lets out a slight laugh and I laugh with her.

"I'll let you know when. But maybe not during initiation." she nods, and we make our way back up from our spot in the chasm towards the dining hall for dinner.

"I can't wait for the party tonight." I tell her and she looks at me, confused. So I explain. "Apparently Connor's friend, Derek, is throwing a Dauntless born only initiate party tonight. Want to go?" she nods and gives my a quick kiss on the cheek, and we continue our walk.

(a couple hours before the Dauntless party)

Talia's POV

After being told to go to the dinning hall for dinner, I begin thinking about the Dauntless part Connor's friend is throwing in a couple of hours. However, that's not the only thing I'm thinking about. I keep going over what happened earlier at the net almost 20 times. Don't ask me why, I just am.

I look up from my uneaten cake, and see the transfers start walking in. But the one that stands out the most, is he Candor transfer, Lucas. And the next thing i see, is Lucas looking me straight in the eyes, and he's smiling. He turns to talk so someone, most likely one of is other Candor transfer friends, and then he comes to my table, where I am sitting alone because Aria s out and about with Tristan and Connor is with Sienna.

"Hey. Talia, right?" he asks, I guess he's making sure he saw what I was saying earlier correctly. I nod, too distracted by his bright blue eyes. "So, uh... mind if I sit here?" again, I nod.

He smiles, as he places his tray on the table and he takes a seat directly across from me. "I'm not sure if you understood what I was trying to tell you earlier, but my name is Lucas." he says and he puts his out for me to shake. I shake his hand, and the feeling I get as soon as our hands touch, is like a spark of lightning coursing through my veins. And I guess he felt the same way too, because his breath hitches slightly at the same time as mine.

After we pull our hands back, it feels like there is no warmth other then having his hand together with mine. I smile, knowing I have to do something because I've been sitting here just staring at his eyes. "So... what made you transfer to Dauntless, Candor?" I say with a slight laugh. But he doesn't do the same back. He just looks down at his tray and moves some food around with his fork. I guess it's something that he doesn't want to talk about, so i just give him a minute to think about what he wants to say next.

A minute or so later, he speaks up. But he continues to look at his food when he does. "It's kind of complicated. And it's a long story, so I'm not sure you'll have time to hear." at the last part, he finally lets out a small laugh. A laugh that I never heard before. It's something that he might not have let others hear.

"Initiates, listen up!" Lucas and I look around, and see Scott, one of the trainers, shouting with his hands cupped around his mouth to make himself louder for everyone to hear. "There has been a slight change in plans. Transfers and Dauntless born will be training together, so the new trainers will be Christina and myself!" with that, he walks away and goes back to his friends to eat.

We look back at each other, and he smiles at me. "I guess you will have time to hear my "long story" another time then." I laugh a little, and he tells me he will be right back and goes to get some cake after he tells his friends something.

That's when Aria comes over and sits right next to me. I don't look at her when I speak. "Well, look who decided to come back after bailing on me in front of my dad." I don't need to look at her to know that he smile that she had is now a slight frown.

"Talia, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that, but I just didn't want to be in another conversation like that again. And I promise I won't bail on you again either. Can you please forgive me?" she says. I look at her and she has this puppy face that makes me not able to stay mad at her.

"Alright! Quit it with that face, you're forgiven! Just put that face away!" I say and that causes up both to laugh.

Once we both calm down a bit, Aria is the first to speak. "So, you really do like a transfer." she says with a smirk. I'm about to ask her how she can see that, but she explains before I get a chance to ask. "I saw the way you looked at him and when you two shook hands, i saw your breath hitch a little. And I can tell you, that he likes you too, because he was doing the same thing as you." she smiles, and I start to blush. "Don't blush, it's normal to do that. And I saw how he tried, but failed, to hide how he looked at you while he was in line waiting for food. Plus, I heard him tell one of his friends that he was going to go talk to you." I smile and then I see Lucas heading back over here with some cake.

"Lucas is coming back, if you want to say hi. Just please, don't say anything that will embarrass me?" she nods, and then Lucas sits back down across from me.

"Hi, I'm Aria. Talia's cousin. "

"Lucas. Nice to meet you." Then he turns to me. " And what did I hear about not saying anything to embarrass you?" He says and I start to blush again.

"Oh, she didn't want me to tell you this, but she likes to walk around singing Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" in her iPod when she thinks no on is around." and with that, I try to smack her arm. But she gets up and laughs while looking back at me while she runs back to Tristan. Jumping on his lap and kisses him deeply before she looks back at me, smirking and winking at me. Then nodding towards Lucas.

I look back at Lucas, and he's trying to hold back his laughter. "It's not funny. It's actually really embarrassing when you think you're alone singing to a song not many people like, and then opening your eyes and seeing people standing all around you trying, and failing, to not laugh at you." I say as I put my head down and go back to moving some food around my plate with my fork.

Suddenly, I feel something touch my hand. And I know it's Lucas', because I feel the electricity again from earlier. I look up at him and he speaks. "Has that happened before?" I look back down and nod sadly. Then I feel his hand leave mine. Then I feel an arm go across my shoulders, and I'm gently being pulled closer to someone. I don't have to look up to make sure it's Lucas, and I lean my head against his shoulder as moves his hand up and down my arm.

"Talia, it's going to be ok. You were just doing what you like to do. And as long as I'm around, no one is going to laugh at you for anything ever again." then he leans his head on mine and we just sit there for a while. Enjoying each others company and being in each others arms.

After a few minutes, we are told we have to go to our separate dorms. I'm thinking about telling him that there is a party tonight, but them remember that it's a Dauntless born only party, and the Dauntless born wouldn't be too happy if a transfer was there. So asking him to come with me is not an option.

"I'll see you at training, Talia." he says after moving his arm back and he gets up to leave. But not before he leans down next to my face and kisses my cheek then goes back over to the transfers to head to their dorm room.

Will's POV

As I finish my cake, I look up and see the Candor transfer, Lucas, get up from sitting in front of Talia, who has her head down and just moving food around her plate. I'm about to get up and go over there and see what that kid did to make my little girl upset. But before I can, I see that he has gotten up to sit next to her and put his arm over her shoulder and pull her closer to him. And he lets her put her head on his shoulder, and they just talk for a while.

I must have bee looking at the two of them for a while, because I didn't hear, or feel, Christina coming closer to me and leaning her head on my shoulder and kiss my neck. Which is something she does to break me out of daze of focusing on something for a long time.

"Will, relax. She is 16, and has a right to like someone. Be happy for her, will you?" I turn to face her and smile.

"Ok, I'll take it easy. But, if he does anything to upset her, or get her in any trouble, we're going too have a problem." she rolls her eyes and gives me a quick kiss.

"Well, I'm going back to the apartment. I'm tired. See you later." and with one last kiss, she leaves the dinning hall, her long dark, blond highlighted hair swaying behind her.

Ok, so that's part 1 of this chapter. The next part should be up a a few days or so. Thank you all for being very patient with me. I've been really distracted, then I had work, and ya. Plus, school is starting again soon, so I won't be updating as much as I want to. Sorry. But I hope you did enjoy this, and i also hope you'll enjoy part 2.
