"Four…" I'd never seen my brother look that mad, so full of rage. I had totally forgot that he mentioned that he was going to come and check in on my 'progress'. Out off all things for him to come in to see, this was definitely not something I wanting him to witness. As Eric got off of me, Four sprinted in our direction. Before I knew it, he tackled Eric to the ground. Within a matter of seconds Four began to beat down on Eric.

"Four, stop!" I lunged for Four, trying my best to pull him off. He seemed unfazed by the name as he continued to throw punches Eric's way. I got an elbow to the face for my efforts and was sent stumbling backwards. "Tobias!"

This caused him to pause and look up at me, a fire in eyes that I had only ever seen reflected in my father's. This distraction allowed Eric to shove Four off of him, he pushed himself up and back to his feet.

"What the hells your problem?" Eric went to make an advance towards Four but I stepped in front of him, pushing him back.

"Eric, stop!" To keep him at bay, I placed my hands on his chest, keeping him from lunging at Four.

"I swear to god, you lay another hand on my sister and I'll kill you," Four snarled. I turned to Four, scowling at him. He had no right to tell Eric that. I looked back to Eric, hoping and praying that he didn't catch that.

"Sister?" Eric echoed. "You're telling me…" He looked between the two of us, his face filled with mixed emotions. "When were you planning on telling me?"

He seemed offened by the new information. I didn't have the heart to answer. "You weren't, were you?"

"Eric…"

"Don't Eric me. Don't even fucking talk to me right now," he growled, using a cold and harsh tone that he hadn't used with me in nearly two weeks. He brushed past me and Four, grabbing his boots. an

"Eric!" I called, but he ignored me, making his exit out of the train room. "I can't believe you just did that," I turned my attention to my brother.

"Me? What about you! Eric? Really?" He shouted.

"Why are you being such an ass about this? Why do you hate him so much? I don't understand what you have against him!" I was so sick and tired of their petty animosity towards each other. It put me in a position that I most certainly didn't want to be in.

"He killed one of my closes friends, that's why!" His voice shook as the words left his mouth. He ran his hand over his face as he turned away from me.

"What?" I didn't believe what he said. Sure Eric was an asshole a majority of the time, but he wasn't a killer.

"His name was Amar. Amar was divergent, like you and me," he turned back to me. Anger still lined hit features, but it was mixed with grief now. "Amar was helping me hide my divergence during intiation. Somehow Eric found this out and told Max, who's been working with Jeanine. Amar was pulled out of the chasm not long after… they killed him because he was divergent."

I didn't know how to respond. I didn't want to believe him, but he wouldn't have a reason to lie to me, right?

"He's not who you think he is. If he finds out who you are, what you are, he will kill you," he averted his eyes from me and turned to leave.

"Tobias, wait," but he didn't look at me, instead he followed Eric's footsteps and made his way out of the training room, leaving me with nothing but my thoughts.

XXX

I absent mindedly made my way to the dinning hall, not knowing were else to go. I was still trying to process what happened in the training room. I didn't know were I stood with Eric. Or my brother for that matter. Just as things were seeming to get better it all came crashing down.

I scanned the dinning hall once I walked through the doors. My eyes found Eric, sitting at a table with Jennifer, Max, and the other two leaders. His face was cold and void of emotion, or at least at first look it was. Then I noticed his clenched jaw and fists. I looked away from Eric, now wasn't the time nor place to try to sort things out with him.

I continued my scan and found Jake not far from me. He was sitting alone, which I thought was odd so I decided to join him. I sat down in front of him, not saying at word.

"Hey," he looked up and smiled at me. That smiled quickly faded as he looked over my face. "What happened?" I was assuming he was referring to the newly forming bruise on my face.

"It was an accident," I vaguely informed him. I couldn't help but let my eyes wander to Eric. He must have felt my eyes on him because he looked up and straight at me. His blue eyes were laced with anger and betrayal. The grimace on his face made it clear that he was none to happy with me at the moment. He quickly looked away and back to the people in front of him.

To think that not even an hour ago we were laughing, joking, making out on the training room floor, and now he didn't want anything to do with me.

"You okay?" Jake asked.

"No, I don't think I am," I admitted. My heart was currently being torn in two different directions and I had no idea what the hell to do. Do I ignore my brother's warning and his hatred for Eric or do I except it and try to put Eric behind me?

"You wanna to talk about?" The answer to the question was simple, yes, I did. But I wasn't sure if I should. I couldn't keep this to myself. I needed help. I needed Jake. He had always been there through thick and thin and if was really my best friend this situation shouldn't change anything.

"Not here," I got up out of my seat and he mirrored my actions. "follow me."

I lead him out of the dinning hall and throught Dauntless. Our trek was made in silence. It wasn't long before we made it to our destination.

I opened the door to the roof and welcomed the fresh air that I hadn't felt in weeks. I took a seat on the ledge and waited for Jake to join me. "So you gonna tell me what's up?"

"What I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone, okay?" I knew he wouldn't, but I still need his word.

"Come on, Alex. You know I won't, I swear," and with that I began to explain my current predicament. I revealed that Four was brother, which he was surprised by, but not bothered. When I informed him about what was going on between me and Eric. H certainly didn't approve, but I wasn't looking for his approval, I was looking for his help. Then I went on to explain to him about how I got the mark on my face.

"Why would you put yourself in this situation?" he questioned once I was finished.

"You think I waned to be in this situation? The thing with Eric just kind of…happened. I knew my brother hated him, but I figured it was over petty shit, not because he blamed Eric for the death of one of his friends."

"The only way you're gonna get a straight up answer is from Eric," Jake kicked his feet as they hung over the side of the building.

"He doesn't want anything to do with me right now," I sighed.

"Then maybe that's a good thing," Jake looked back up at me. And I rolled my eyes at him.

"Jake."

"I'm being serious! Whether Four is telling the truth or not, being in any kind of relationship with Eric is asking for trouble," he brought his legs up from the over the side of the building and crossed them, just as mine were.

"You're just saying that because you don't like him," that was the problem when it came Eric. Nobody liked him. To think that all this would be so much easier if he wasn't such a dick to everyone.

"No…okay, well maybe that's part off it, but not all of it," I played with my shoe lace as he spoke.

"You don't understand. He's not as bad as you or everyone else thinks he is. When I'm with him, yeah he's sarcastic, but he's not cruel, he's caring and motivating… if you knew him like I did, you'd probably be friends with him," I chuckled. Eric would probably be friends with a lot of people if they saw him how I did.

"Yeah, okay," he smiled. "Well it's your choice, I'll be here for you no matter what you choose," his blue eyes met mine. "And with Four, just try talking to him. You're the only family he has, and he can't stay upset at you about this forever," he untied the shoe lace I was playing with. "Maybe he still has a little Abnegation in him to forgive you," he joked.

"I don't know… he's changed A LOT since he's come to Dauntless," I smiled at the picture of this little Abnegation boy in my head. My smile slowly faded as I thought about my position with my older brother now. He felt so far out of my reach. I couldn't lose Tobias.

"So have you," Jake informed me. "You've done a total 180 since being here."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Maybe you guys are so used to being siblings in Abnegation, that now you just have to adjust to being siblings in Dauntless. Abnegation to Dauntless is like day to night. They're total opposites. Just give it some time."

Maybe Jake was right. Maybe time and a readjustment was the answer to my problems. But what if they aren't?

I hope you guys liked it! I'd love to hear what you guys think so feel free to leave a review or shoot me a PM! :)
