Short chapter, this was just to prove to you that—yes, I am still alive. I'm now back in school, and work is taking up most of my time. I haven't found the motivation or the time to write lots.

The next couple of chapters will probably be posted in two months, than I'll be on a writing streak. Probably not many more chapters, however, I do plan on a part two.

I'm creating a new story called The Last Of Us, which I will be posting in a couple months. I don't want to give too much away, but I will tell you that it is about a zombie apocalypse. I've got three chapters already written and I can't wait to share it with you.

Anyways, here it is:

Chapter 40

Tobias POV

The gym seems quiet without Tris. I'm used to her outgoing laughs and challenges. I set the weights down just as the door opens revealing Shauna and Lauren. Last time I had a one on one conversation with Lauren she wanted to hook up with me.

"Hey, Four." Lauren greets. "Whatcha doin?"

"Avoiding Tris still?" Shauna muses with a smile on her face.

"I'm not avoiding her," I say taking a sip from the water fountain. "She's avoiding me."

"She seemed fine this morning—" Lauren says, but Shauna glares at her before she can finnish.

I stand up and cross over to them. "You talked to Tris?"

"I'm not getting involved," Shauna said raising her hands in surrender.

"Wait," I pause. "You were at work this morning…" I narrow my eyes at her. "Tris was at the clinic? Is she okay?"

"I—don't…" Lauren starts. "This isn't really my place—to say anything."

"Shauna," I plead. "I just want to know if she's okay."

"I don't know if she is…"

"Shauna."

"I honestly don't know." She shrugs. "She's still there, but you didn't hear it from me."

"Thank you, Shauna!" I pat her on the back and start on my way to the clinic.

Flashback:

Tris slams the door behind her as she leaves and Marcus smiles at me. "How have you been?" He says casually.

"What are you doing here?" I say, though I still can't make eye contact. He starts to speak, but I cut him off, "You come into my house, you get my fiance mad—"

"Fiance?" Marcus questions. I nod. "I came here because I'm a leader, and your father. I wanted to come see how you were doing."

"Bullshit!" I scoff. "You haven't been interested in me since mom died."

"Evelyn—"

"You don't get to say her name." Marcus' eyes widen and his shock visibly turns to anger. "You used her as a punching bag for years, and when she did you didn't give a shit, you were only worried about your reputation. Now, get the HELL out of my house."

"I'm staying with you till the dinner on Thursday."

I grab my coat off the counter and open the door. "Make yourself at home." I slam the door and head to Zeke's.

End of flashback

It's now Thursday and I need Tris to come with me to the dinner tonight. I search for her at the infirmary, and after asking around a little, I was able to find her. She stands at the front desk, talking to a woman in a Dauntless nurse uniform.

"Hey," I say scratching the back of my neck.

"Hey," she responds under her breath. She looks at the floor, and so do I.

"The dinner tonight…"

"I'll be there," Tris says.

I smile a little. When I look at her I make eye contact with her and she smiles a little.

Tris POV

Tobias and I arrive at Max's apartment a little late. We haven't said a word to each other since we met up at the pit. "Ready?" Tobias asks me. I nod and he knocks on the door. "What's that?" He points down to may hand where I hold a chocolate bar.

"I've been craving them a lot."I tell him. "But they're only available in the pit's vending machine."

Within a second, the door swings open and Eric's confused face greets us. He shrugs it off and allows us to enter though I get stares from Peter. Only leader's spouses are welcome to these dinner parties, and fiance qualifies as that.

I've been staying with Eric for the past couple days because Lynn said to just go makeup with Four and I couldn't do that.

We sit down beside each other and make small talk with the leaders, which is probably uncomfortable for Tobias too. Marcus helps place the food on the table, which is a combination of all the factions traditional foods.

Once he is done, he decides to pull a chair up beside me. Though Tobias notices this, he doesn't say anything. I choose to ignore him and place food on my plate. "Your eyes are too big for your stomach," Marcus laughs, pointing to my plate. "We don't like to waste food in Abnegation."

"I'm hungry," I growl back.

"You sure you wanna eat all that?" Peter says across from me. "You're already starting to put on weight." I roll my eyes at his stupid comments, though I stop stalking my plate.

"You're an ass," I say to Peter.

I notice Marcus' eyes widen. "Big mouth, for a small girl."

"Do you have a problem?" I ask. Marcus stands up to challenge me and I don't back down. "What? Gonna bring out the belt?" I whisper.

Everyone's attention is on us when marcus swings. I duck out of instinct, yet I wasn't expecting this kind of a reaction from him in front of all these people. I punch him hard in the stomach and Marcus collapses to the floor.

"What the hell?!" Max shouts. "This is unacceptable."

"You should leave," Tobias says.

"Yeah," I agree with him, Marcus should leave.

"No, I mean you."

I stare at him in shock. "Again?" I roll my eyes and head out the door. I hear someone coming after me so I pick up my pace.

"Tris!" I can tell it's Eric's voice. I stop running to wipe the tears from my face. "Why are you avoiding him?"

Tobias POV

I can't believe she did that. I don't care how much Marcus deserved it, she embarrassed me and herself in front of everyone. Ugh! And allowing Eric to run after her. I'm her boyfriend, not him. I should be the one running after her, but no, I had to be the one to kick her out… AGAIN! God, I'm stupid!

Johanna helps Marcus up as Eric runs back in the room. I go to ask him if she's okay, but he swings at me instead. Max goes in between us before I have a chance to strike. "What's your deal, man?" I shout at him.

"What's my deal?" He scoffs. I narrow my eyes. "You complain about how terrible of a father you have, all the time!"

"What's your fucking point?" I shout back at him.

"You don't know…" Eric scoffs. "You just kick your fiance and you unborn child out of the house! She's pregnant, you idiot!"
