Hello there! It's lovely to see that you've come here to read my story. I really appreciate it!

Before I continue this fan fiction, I wanted to say a few things.

My story is a fan fiction of the book and not the movie. It's inspired by Veronica's way of describing Tris and Tobias as individuals and as a couple. I try to change their characters a little bit though, since there was now war in my version and they've become completely different people than what they did in Veronica's books. I love every single thing about her writing and I wouldn't want it any other way.

What I wanted to say was that since this is my story, I think it's okay that we meet some new sides of the characters. I'm just trying to be open for anything and let the characters adjust in their own way. I hope that you, all of my amazing readers, understand that and hopefully agree.

Now, enough with this speech. Let's see some Fourtris drama. Or will we? Find out in this next chapter. Happy reading ^^

Chapter 16

Tobias

We decide to hide the flag in the apple tree next to an abandoned house. When we're done with strategy talk we split up. Christina and Shauna will guard and Zeke and I will attack. We quietly walk toward the other team with our guns ready.

"So, I have a question for you," Zeke says.

"Yeah?"

"This is kind of awkward. I wouldn't normally go to you for this, but I need some help with…"

"Wait." I stop. "Right now? In the middle of the game?"

"Um, yeah."

I look at him and nod. "Continue."

"Anyway. Shauna has been acting really weird lately. She doesn't seem so in to me anymore. I'm afraid she's interested in someone else. I try to be a good boyfriend, but I'm not really boyfriend material. I've never been, I mean you know that." I pretend to scratch my cheek to hide my grin. "So, what do you think I should do?"

"I think you should talk to her. Like you so kindly pointed out, I don't have much experience when it comes to girls, but I definitely think you should talk to her."

"I guess. Thanks."

Just then I see it, an orange light up in the old church tower. That's their flag. I turn to Zeke but something has hit him in the leg and he falls to the ground, howling with pain. I look up and see Lynn a few feet away. She grins and aims her gun again, but I'm fast enough to stop the small paintball from hitting me. Instead it hits a lamppost behind me and glass shatters everywhere. I grab Zeke's arm and drag him with me behind a container.

"Who was it?"

"Lynn. I think I saw Will and Uriah behind her. I'll go to the right, and try to sneak past them. I don't know where Marlene and Tris are so you'll have to cover me. Can you do that?"

"Yeah." He straightens his body. "It doesn't hurt much anymore. It barley does. I was just… shocked."

"If that's your story." I stand up and silently walk toward the church. I can hear guns firing and screaming voices.

When I reach the church I look around to see if anyone's there. I walk inside and squint through the dark. I spot the stairs and start to climb them. When I reach the top; I see Tris standing with her gun aiming at me.

I aim back. "Hi there," I say.

"If you want the flag you're going to have to get past me," she says. She starts walking toward me slowly. "I don't really care that much about winning this game, so I have a proposition for you."

"I'm listening."

"I know you're keeping something from me." My body tightens. "If you tell me what it is, I'll let you take the flag."

"Tris." I search for her eyes in the dark. "It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does." My eyes have adjusted and I can see lowering her gun. I do too. "Tobias, it's hard enough to trust people in dauntless. I can't have you keeping things from me too. Just tell me."

"It's not important." I shake my head a few times. "But if you need to know, then fine." I clear my throat. "This morning when you went to see Christina I went to the control room. I saw on one of the screens a girl crying in one of the tunnels. I decided to go see if she was okay. She was, and I walked her back to her apartment and then you came."

Tris frowns. "That's not the entire truth."

I sigh. "The girl was Alice Harper and when we were outside her apartment she… tried to kiss me." Tris doesn't say anything else. I take her hands in mine. "Look, I didn't tell you because you shouldn't worry and…"

"That's not up to you Tobias." She wrenches her hands back. "I trust you to be honest with me because that's what we agreed on. Remember?"

"Yes, I do. I just…"

She interrupts again. "I don't care about this Alice person cause I know you love me. What hurts is that you kept it from me and you lied when I asked you if something was wrong."

"I know and I'm so sorry."

She doesn't look at me. "Whatever. Take the flag, I don't care." She walks past me and down the stairs.

"Tris, wait!" I call after her, but she's already gone.

Tris

I've never thought of myself as the jealous girlfriend type. I told Tobias that him keeping the truth from me was what hurt the most, but the thought of some other girl kissing him hurts just as much, even though it didn't happen. I walk toward my teams meeting point. Marlene is standing by the tree, leaning against its trunk. She's covered in every color I can think of. "Tris!" She limps toward me. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to guard our flag."

"Four took it." I lie. "We lost."

I hear cheering from the old church. Through the dark I can spot the other team jumping around Tobias who's holding our flag in his hand. I roll my eyes and start walking toward the tracks. Marlene stumbles after me. On the way we catch up with Uriah, Will and Lynn. They're all covered with paint too.

"We lost," Marlene says and keeps walking.

"Oh man. Zeke's never going to shut up about this," Uriah complains.

We walk to the tracks and wait for the next train. No one says anything. The other team joins us when the train lights appear from a distance. When it reaches us, we start running along side it. We spread out. I don't feel like talking to anyone so I cling to the handle of the last car and pull myself in, planning to have some alone time while I can. But just when I sit down, a dark figure pulls it self onto the car. A light source from somewhere lids up the car and I can see that it's Tobias. He sits down across from me on the other side, one leg stretched out, his arm slung over his knee. He doesn't say anything, so we sit there silent. When he finally says something I immediately wish he hadn't. "Can we talk about it?"

"What's there to talk about?" I say without looking at him.

He gets up and sits down in front of me. "Tris," he says. I keep my eyes on the floor. He takes my hands. "Look at me!" I give up and lift my eyes to his. The hurt in his eyes sting when I look into them.

"Please don't think that what happened meant anything, because it didn't. I would never cheat on you."

I sigh. He's right. "I know that. It's just; I've never dealt with this kind of things before. I didn't know how to react, or what to say. I just got mad because you didn't tell m. I may not know Alice but from what Shauna's told me she goes after pretty much every guy. But I'm sorry. It wasn't fair of me walk away like that."

He smiles a little. "It's okay. I forgive you." He pulls me closer and I put my arms around his back, burying my face in his shoulder. He tugs me tighter and strokes my back.

His embrace makes it hard to keep my eyes open, so I give up and my eyelids close.

See ya'll soon. Be brave! -s
