Accidental Betrayal
Chapter 2
Four's pov
I held Tris while she cried about Peter. "It's okay Tris. It is okay, I'm here. I will always be here." I say.
"Always?" Tris questioned. I nodded. We stood there in each other's embrace.
"Tris, I think we should move. People are staring." I whisper. She let go and took my hand. I led her to my room and she sat on the bed. I sat next to her and held her hand. We sat there for a while and Tris fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. I shook my head at myself as I tried to lay her on the bed without waking her. I succeeded. As I pulled out the blankets from under the bed, for this reason, and laid them down on the floor I hear something drop. I grabbed the little black velvet box that fell from my pocket before tris could wake up from the sound. I lay down on the blankets and stared at the small ring in the box. I was going to do it today at the Chasm, but then I had to go and ruin it all by telling her why Peter left. "Stupid, Stupid." I said to myself. I fell asleep listening to the sound of her short but steady breaths.
The next morning I wake before Tris as always. I tried to take a shower before she awoke but failed. I walked out of the bathroom and there she is on the bed looking for me. I go over and hug her. "Are you better?" I ask. She nodded. I went to pick up the blankets that I sleep on last night when I noticed that the little black box that contained a very special ring was missing. "Tris have you seen a little black box?" I ask turning around. Tris was on the bed with the black box open in her lap. She looked at me with tears running down her cheeks. I walked over and knelt down. I took the box in my hands and asked, "Tris Prior, I love you and I don't want to be without you. I have one question. Tris will you marry me?" I said. She put her hands over her mouth.
She nodded and said, "Yes Four. Yes Four, I will marry you." she hugged me and I spun her around. When I was done I kissed her. She had her arms around my neck. I had my arms around her waist. We broke our embrace and she smiled.
"One more thing you need to know. My real name isn't really Four." I say.
"Oh so you are saying you weren't actually named Four?" she said.
"No I was not. This may be a shock to you but I'm actually Tobias Eaton. I was originally Abnegation." I say seeing her eyes widen. I gave her a small smile.
"Wow! I wouldn't have guessed. Tobias? I like it. It is much better than Four." Tris said.
"But now one can know about me." I said. She nodded. I helped her up and I put the simple ring around her left ring finger. I took her hand and we walked around the Pit.
