A/N I hope everyone is enjoying reading this as much as I like writing it. I still own nothing besides my OC's. Thank you to all the favs, follows, reviews, and PMs. It makes my day.

After tossing and turning all night with visions of a large grey eyed leader morning comes way to soon. I slam my hand down on my alarm to stop it. Back to Erudite for another long day of training on things I have already learned. Hopefully today will be the last. As these past two weeks have showed me is that I didn't need the refresher course and that I'm better that I am no longer on crutches. Plus I found out my guards are friends of Eric's.

*Flashback Begins*

I woke early the second morning of training and decide to go on down early. I walk out to the truck that was to take me back to Erudite to find Eric there talking to Beck and Hollis. What the fuck? Why is he here? I should have known he wouldn't let me go out with just anybody let alone two men. I try to get closer without being seen.

"How did it go yesterday?" Eric's voice finally reach my ears.

"She kicked ass in there." Hollis replies.

"What did she have to do? She had blood on her when she got back." Eric looks down at his phone.

"A factionless girl was cut open on her side. McKaven stitched her back up." Beck answers.

"And the look on Jeanine's face priceless." Hollis laughs.

"Still gossiping?" I say stepping around another truck. Beck and Hollis have the decency to look apologetic. "So everything from yesterday was a lie?" I look back and forth from my guards and my . . . something.

"Well not all of it we knew more than we let on is all." Hollis tries to joke.

"Is that all?" I tilt my head while looking into his eyes.

"No, we are his friends. He said he only trusted us to keep you safe away from Dauntless when he couldn't be there." Hollis comes clean. "Now stop giving me that look."

"Thank you." I glare at Eric before climbing into the truck. "Well are you coming i have training that has to get done." I call out the window after they jut stand there gaping at me next to a smug Eric.

*Flashback Ends*

I get dressed before going down to the garage only to stop at my phone beeps in my hand.

Max talked to Jeanine. This is your last day going to Erudite. Jeanine can't stall anymore. - E

Thanks I am beyond tried of Erudite.

I smile as I grab my jacket before stepping outside the apartment door to find Eric leaned up against the wall. "Always waiting now." Over the past two weeks we have slowly gotten closer with stolen kisses here or there. I find myself liking him more and more. I worry that the next time I take my fear landscape he will be in it and I've barely seen him with my training. I worry about how attached I will get to him when I'm back in Dauntless full time.

"Got to make sure our only doctor gets to her training on time." He smirks walking with me to the elevator.

"I have Beck and Hollis for that." I joke.

"No I gave you Beck and Hollis for that." He retorts.

"Oh you gave me pets!" I clap with sarcastic cheer. "They are potty trained right. Can't have a mess in the new apartment."

I shock Eric into a loud laugh as we walk through the pit bickering. All the members just sit and stare not quite believing their eyes. That their scary ass leader is laughing and not at the expense of someone else's pain and that the girl that he is with seems to be enjoying his company.

My last day in Erudite is the worst yet. Somehow there was an explosion in the Factionless district. No one knows how it happened but as soon as the patients started coming in I sent a text to Eric letting him know what has happened. Though he most likely already knows. After that Beck and Hollis stay closer than before. Around lunch I am beyond frustrated Jeanine is only letting in so many Factionless. She is determining which ones are allowed to come in. I get pissed and scream that I will take all the ones that she deems not fitting to come in. There are so many that have grave injuries that I loss two but out of the eleven that she turned away all the rest survive.

It is near midnight when I am finally done and covered in blood. I scrub my hands thankful I had a face guard which had to be cleaned off multiple times. I would hate to see what my clothes looked like. The black doesn't show the blood but in the places that aren't wet with blood is stiff from where it has dried. As I leave I tell the head nurse to sent the Factionless that Jeanine deems unworthy to come to Dauntless.

I get back to Dauntless with everyone waiting on me. At least the ones I care about. Wes and Audi stand in the garage waiting and with them is Eric. As I slide out of the truck they come rushing to me.

"What happen? Why are you back so late? Are you okay?" Questions are bombarded at me by Audi.

"Audi, calm down. I am alright. There was an explosion in the Factionless district I helped with the injured." I step back as she goes to hug me.

"What's wrong?" She asks as she pulls up short.

"You can't tell but I'm covered in blood. I would like a shower now than bed. I will tell you all about it tomorrow." I give them a weak smile. "Go have fun."

"Okay but you call if you need us." Wes says squeezing my hand gently before walking off with Audi in tow.

"I take it you didn't get my test?" Eric asks as he walks up.

"No I haven't looked at my phone since I sent you the test about the explosion. Do we know what happened?" I ask walking toward him.

"No, most of the ones that where there died or are the ones you worked on and from the word that I got they weren't up to talking." He wraps an arm around me.

"Eric I'm covered in blood." I try to push him away but he is a unmovable mountain.

"As long as your not the one hurt I don't mind a little blood." He says pulling me closer. I snuggle into him as we walk toward our apartments.

He stops me in between our doors. "Come lay down with me." My breath hitches as the words come from his mouth.

"What?" I can't seem to wrap my head around what he saying.

"Just to sleep. Nothing else." He steps closer boxing me in.

"I can't my friends will worry and I don't have anything to change into." I try to make an excuse even though I want nothing more than to have his strong arms wrapped around me.

"Go get some clothes and tell your friends your staying with me tonight." He quickly squashes the flimsy excuse.

"They are not home yet." I try one last time still not knowing why I am fighting him.

"Than leave a fucking note." He snarls as he has me pushed up against the wall.

I smile up at him, "and if I don't?"

His eyes flash dangerously as he leans down. His face is mere inches from mine. "I will lock you in my room before I go and get things for you. And I will leave the note and you don't want to know what I would write."

I step under his arm and into my apartment. "Be right out after I take a shower." I take a long shower trying to wash all the blood away. It seems like forever before the water finally turns clear. I get out and get dressed in what I would wear to bed, a tank and a pair of shorts that are a bit shorter than what I would like it to be but I can't sleep good with anything longer. I brush my teeth and hair but let it dry on its on. It would take too long to blow dry and I want to hurry up and go to Eric's. I grab a change of clothes for tomorrow before looking through drawers to find a pen and some paper to leave a note.

Staying at Eric's tonight. Don't judge. Love you.

I leave it on the table before I make my way out the door to find Eric no longer in the hall. Well at least he trusted me to be out. I take a deep breath before knocking on his door. It is opened not but a moment later to Eric in low slung sleep pants. His chest is shaved clean with his tattoos on full show. I am glad that I hold my clothes otherwise I don't think I could stop myself from running them over his chest. "Come in, Dr Blaine." He takes a hand full of my long golden blond hair that is still wet from my shower and pulls me in. He kiss me softly while shutting the door. "Come with me I will show you where to put your things." He says quietly against my lips.

"Alright." I blindly follow him as he takes me to his room.

He opens a drawer of his dresser. "This is yours."

"I rank a drawer even though I live next door?" I joke putting my clothes inside.

"Yes." He brushes the hair back from my face before pulling me to his massive bed. He lays down first pulling me down with him. I snuggle into his warm chest with his heartbeat steady under my hand. He smooths my hair back and kisses me lightly on my head. "Go to sleep. You are safe here."

A/N I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think.
