So here is the second chapter I promised! This isn't my best story, but I'm trying so…. Disclaimer: I still don't own the Divergent trilogy, that status hasn't changed….
That night, between the quiet sobs and the shuffling of sheets, Victoria cannot fall asleep. She decides to get up and walk around Dauntless compound a little more. She stops by the pit, the chasm and all of the hallways in between. She begins to make her way towards a water fountain in sight when a movement to the left catches her eye.
She quickly turns around to become face to face with the man she longed to be with for a year.
"Eric!" She squeals.
"Hey Vicki. So you decided to join Dauntless now?" He asks.
"No. I snuck out of the Erudite compound for the first time in my life. On the first day of initiation no less just to come here, to Dauntless compound and get a drink from this water fountain." She says with a tone of sarcasm.
"That's my girl, I missed you." He says while picking her up by her hips and twirling her around in a circle. He then sets her down and begins to lean down. She closes the distance with her lips. They kiss for minutes, hours, no one knows. She gets lost in the feeling of his lips on hers and never wants it to end. When he begins to deepen the kiss, she gladly accepts and they stay in that position before air becomes a problem.
"Eric, how has the year treated you? You are definately not that scrawny little Erudite boy anymore." She says.
"Well I snuck out of Erudite too. I got ranked second after Tobias, an Abnegation transfer last year. I work in the government now and I have an apartment. But everyday I was praying that you would choose Dauntless so I could see you again. Victoria, you have no idea how much I missed you. It tore me apart to be away from you that long. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving. Please, please forgive me." He says.
"Eric, I think our little reunion in the hallway shows that I already forgive you. I missed you so much too. And I had a suspicion that you would transfer. Those hints about how Dauntless were so amazing. How you wished to be one of them. I was just too blind to actually see that. I'm sorry. And second Eric, oh my god! That's amazing, I'm so proud of you! And a government job! Wow Eric, you have made a life here." She says.
"And you will too. I promise Victoria. You will make it through initiation. You can do it, I believe in you. But, no matter what happens tomorrow, you have to know that I don't mean it. Promise me you will remember that okay? I can't show that we are a couple or else they will punish you, maybe even kick you out of Dauntless. I can't be separated from you again, I did it once and thank god that you chose Dauntless or I... I don't know what I would have done. "He says.
"Eric, you just said that we were a couple. That's the first time you said that to me. And I will, I promise." She says.
"Okay, now go to bed. You have to wake up early tomorrow for initiation." He says.
Victoria begins to walk away when she hears a "Victoria, wait!" She turns around and Eric's lips crash into hers. They remain in that position until, again, air becomes a necessity and she pulls away with an embarrassing gasp.
"I had to do that before you left." He says with a completely fake innocent look.
"Its fine, I don't mind." She says before leaving. Once she reaches the dorm, she quietly slips threw the doors and into her bed before anyone notices.
Stupid air. she thinks to herself.
It's not until she turns her head that she can see across the room a pair of opened eyes, staring straight at her.
