A/N I own nothing I hope you enjoy.


I wake up to a hand running through my hair. I look up into the grey eyes of the man that is partially beneath me. My cheeks flame up as I look away to have him gently turn my head to face him again. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"I know, its just that the only guy I have ever sleep with was Wes and he is like a brother to me. And you sir are not like a brother to me." I smirk at him and he lets out a low chuckle.

"Is that so?" His lips brush mine before he slides out from under me and gets out of bed. "Your phone has been going off for an hour."

I jump up and grab it. "Why didn't you tell me?" I stop and look up at him. "You have been awake for an hour."

"You were sleeping peacefully. I didn't want to walk you." He smiles before he walks into the en suite bathroom.

I shake my head before unlocking my phone to find that I have six missed calls with voice messages and sixteen text. I open the text to find that some were from yesterday while I was at work.

I can't make it there myself. Stay safe and with B&H. -E 07:47

Are you alive. Still no answer? -AUDI 05:45

Call me soon or I'm coming to get you! Please have clothes on. -WES 06:00

I laugh at Wes's text before I open the missed calls and voice messages.

It's Eric. I don't like you being there with everything going on. I wish that I could be there with you now but I am needed here. I told Beck and Hollis not to leave your side. Get home soon. - E 18:30

Kave, it's Wes. Please call me. I don't like you being where I can't see you when shit is going down. . .Stay safe. -WES 19:40

I am losing my patients. If I could get away I would be there myself dragging you back here. -E 21:00

Hey Kave, it's Audi. Wes and Eric are being unbarable please get home soon. Be safe. I'm worried about you and I hate that feeling. -AUDI 21:20

McKaven Blaine! your training ends at 18:00 sharp. That was hours ago. Why are you still in Erudite?! -WES 22:08

I am beyond pissed. Answer your phone or get home now! I don't give a fuck if Beck and Hollis say that you are fine. I want you in front of me so that I can see for my self that you are fine. - E 23:10

By the end of the messages I find myself sitting on Eric's bed.

I'm fine. I sleep in. Call or text me during your break we can have lunch. Love you. I quickly send the text to both Audi and Wes before getting up and walking into the bathroom to find Eric standing at the sink shaving. "You could have woken me. My friends were worried."

He stops shaving to look at me. "You left a note right?"

"Yes." I lean against the doorway watching him.

"Well they knew were you where and that you are safe." He resumes shaving.

"They still don't trust you all that much." I tell him honestly.

"Its been two weeks they need to get used to us being together." He looks into my eyes through the mirror.

"Oh are we exclusive now? When did that happen?" I ask watching him as his eyes flash.

"The day you came barging into my home I remember telling you no other man goes in your apartment. No other man touches you. Ever since you fell onto the roof you have been mine. No one else." He is finished shaving and wipes his face clean before walking up to me.

He towers over me as I ask, "so what I'm your girlfriend now?" I narrow my eyes up at him.

He leans in close, "did you think different?"

"I didn't know what to think." I answer truthfully.

"Well now you know." He claims my mouth for a moment before I break the kiss. He narrows his eyes at me raising that one brow.

"I haven't brushed my teeth." I say behind my hand.

He smirks before stepping back. "All yours." For the first time I realize his hair is slicked back with water and now his gel and that the only thing that covers him is a towel slung around his waist. I slide back against the doorway taking him all in. I ball my hands behind my back as I wait for him to leave before remembering that my clothes are in his dresser. I slowly step out of the bathroom to grab them all the while Eric is watching me with darkened eyes. I get my clothes than return to the bathroom. Where he has of yet to leave. "You watched me." He says with his oh so sexy smirk.

"Not while you where in the shower." I demand.

"But you could have been." He walks toward me and I step away from the door as he comes closer. He stops in front of me and grabs me to him. "Don't keep me waiting to long." He kisses me thoroughly before walking from the room shutting the door behind him.


After I brush my teeth I change into a high waisted black knee length skirt with a zipper slit that goes up to my mid thigh and a off the shoulder fitted black crop top with long sleeves only an inch of my torso is showing. I step into my black and red ombre heels. I put a dash of makeup on after I brush out my long golden blond hair leaving it down so that is falls down my back close to my waist. It has grown out in the past few months that I have been in Dauntless.

I smooth my hand down my hair one last time before stepping out into Eric's bedroom. He isn't in his room so I walk out into the living room. I look around and still don;t see him but I notice that his balcony door is open. I step outside to find him leaning against the railing. He doesn't turn around as I walk next to him but he does pull me into his arms. He kissed my head as I tuck it his chest. "I need to get to work."

"I know. I will take you. Do you want breakfast first?" He looks down at me before stepping back. "My God." He breaths out. I blush and look away. "No don't look away. You are so beautiful."

I roll my eyes at him. "Take me to breakfast than take me to the infirmary."

He laughs. "You might be the only one that has ever asked me to take them to the infirmary."

I smile before I sober up. "I wasn't able to get anymore information from Erudite. Jeanine or one of her minions were always near. Plus I was more worried about getting through with it all and getting back home."

"I would never want you to in danger yourself. Even to get knowledge away from Jeanine." He grabs my face and pulls it close to his. His eyes are firce as he looks into my eyes. "Don't worry about Jeanine, Max and I are working on it. Just stay safe and away from her. I know how much you hate her so it shouldn't be hard. She isn't allowed here besides Visiting Day until you denied her. Let me keep you safe."

"You don't have to." I step closer to him.

"I need to protect you." He says forcibly.

"Why? I can protect myself!" Getting angry that he thinks I can't protect myself.

"I care about you! Alright! I care." He pulls me close to him. "I care for you like I have cared for no one else in my life. That is new for me so don't get upset or angry if I become to over protective. It's just that the first person to make me feel this way is a tiny, kind little thing that is so beautiful that it takes my breath away. I can't let you get hurt. Last night was torture and I have hated every minute of the last two weeks when you went for training. Anything could have happened. Anything!"

I wrap my arms around him. "I understand."

The fight leaves him as he wraps me tighter in his arms. "I can't lose you. I'm falling for you and I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you. Ever since I saw you at the choosing ceremony I just haven't been able to get you off my mind." He all but crushes me into him. "I won't let you go."

"I know." Is all I can say. There is no way I want this strong, sexy man to ever let me go. He has become my addiction.


During lunch I meet up with Audi and Wes and after a quick lunch where I fill them in on the past 24 hours we go into the tattoo parlor. Wes leaves to go back to the control room while Audi wants to look through some tattoos so that she can get one after work today. While she looks I go to the fear landscape. I have to see if he is in them. I go under and my first and second fear plays out unchanged but where I would normally wake up I don't. I am jerk into another fear a new on a third one. I close my eyes not wanting to see but force them open to see Eric on his knees in front of me. He looks up at me with his blazing grey eyes. "Stay strong, stay brave." Are his last words to me before he is shot his blood coating my face as I scream. I come back to screaming with tears down my face. I sink to my knees bending down as sobs rack my body.

My timer goes off signaling that I have to get back to work so I pick myself off the ground. I dust off before going to the infirmaries bathroom to freshen up. I send a text to Audi and Wes letting them know that I was back at work and I would see the at the tattoo parlor after my shirt. Even though I will be on call around the clock as the Erudite doctor was before me. Thankfully today was relatively quiet in the infirmary today. Stitching up a few busted brows and other minor injuries is all that comes in today. I make my way to the parlor to get the tattoos of my new fears. I can now get one for Audi as she gets her first tattoo done as I do. I get her name close to Wes's since they share the same fear with an added part of her tattoo which is a giant butterfly on her side. Tori asks why she got that and Audi tells her that the last night she was in Amity she went butterfly catching with her baby sister. One of her favorite moments there. As Tori inks it into her skin bud add a smaller version of it to my back next to her name. Than he begins the other tattoos I asked for a wrist and side hand tattoo that form into a L on my right arm. Now I have the words My Addiction now proudly covered next to a tiny version of Eric's arm tattoo on the side of my hand with his name across my wrist.

"Wow, where everybody can see it. Well after you take the cover off of course." Audi says as we walk out. "I think the one you got for me is pretty hot. Was the fear for him bad?"

"Yeah. . .he dies at my feet with his blood all over me. I don't get a chance to stop it." She gives be a tight hug.

"Lets go to dinner Wes should be off now." Audi stays close to me as we walk toward the dinning hall.
