*Chapter 20! Let me know what you think? Also, I know that some people are concerned about FourTris. This is what I'm willing to reveal about it, since you don't get all the chapters at one time.

Have a little faith. They both have things to answer for. Candor and Dauntless WILL get intense and strained. WITH good reason. Hopefully the end of this chapter will give you hope.

OH! And I'm re-titling this! I'm changing it to Young and Beautiful. Why? You tell me.*

Chapter 20

Tobias POV

So it was true.

Uriah and Tris were together. That kiss proved it all. Tobias had missed his chance.

"Dude," Zeke said, clapping Tobias' shoulder. "It's all going to be okay when we play Candor or Dauntless tonight at my apartment as an after party to this shindig."

Tobias shook his head. "She's moved on, Zeke. Look at them."

Looked over in Tris' and Uriah's direction. They weren't touching each other. In fact, Uriah looked pissed, and Tris was just kind of standing there. "You sure about that?"

"Yeah, Zeke, I am. She just had her tongue down his throat."

"It's not over until it's over, Four. You'll see. Come on, let's go set up for Candor or Dauntless. I need someone to mix the jungle juice!"

Tobias was dragged off by Zeke to go set up, but Tris was the only thing on his mind. Her laugh, her smile. All things other people were doing with her. Things Tobias wasn't getting to do with her. It was really a shame that once he had gotten his life together. When he was actually ready to talk to her, she had already moved on. Life was funny that way.

And she looked amazing. Drop dead gorgeous. Tris couldn't see it in herself, but she was wrong. She was beautiful. And sexy, and hot, and any other adjective in the dictionary to describe just how perfect she was. The new look suited her. It was still so very, her, but updated. New. Improved. Dauntless. Tobias just hoped Uriah made sure she realized that if he couldn't do it for her himself.

Around ten o'clock people started showing up. At eleven, everyone was sitting in a circle and the only people missing were Tris and Christina. Eventually, the door burst open in a flurry that could only be Christina laughing and smiling.

"Sorry we're late! We were primping!" She said, plopping down next to Will, kissing him hello.

Tris followed her in thirty seconds later, and holy crap.

Tobias started at her feet, so he could save the hard part for last. They were donned in black and red strappy heels that made her long legs look even longer. Tobias gulped. She was wearing high-waisted, skin tight, black leather shorts, Her butt looked amazing. Then the top. God, that top. A red Dauntless symbol was on the front, the flames spreading over the majority of the tight shirt, that showed off her toned and tight stomach. The cut was just low enough to show off her cleavage. And finally, her face.

She was smiling small, nervous. Tris bit her lip. It made Tobias smile inside knowing that she still bit her lip when she was nervous. Her makeup was light, but defined enough to make her look edgy, just a little dangerous. Her eyes were big and bright. Her lips a prefect shade of pink. She was spectacular.

When she caught Tobias' eyes, she looked away quickly and sat down, across from Uriah, who was now sitting next Marlene. Huh. Interesting.

"Alright, kiddies!" Zeke announced, handing Christina and Tris drinks. "Time to play Candor or Dauntless! And away we go! Uriah, Candor or Dauntless."

Uriah smiled. "Let's start tame. Candor."

"Wimp!" Zeke scolded him. "I'm ashamed to call you my brother. But tell me, what is really going on with you and Tris?"

Uriah's face went from smiling and playful, to stoic in a split second. He lifted his shirt over his head and tossed it behind him on the couch. The game continued on after teasing from the group over him being a 'pansy cake'. Tobias didn't care what anyone said. Pansy cake was never going to be a thing again. Finally it got to Tris.

"Tris," Shauna asked. "Candor or Dauntless?"

"Candor."

"What's going on with you and Uriah."

Tobias watched carefully to see what Tris was going to do. She looked at Uriah, and then at him. "We're not a thing. We never were."

Uriah spoke up softly. "Tris you don't have to do—"

She shook her head. "Selfessness is bravery. I need to be brave."

"What do you mean?" Christina asked.

"I…I was hurt. And angry. You need to understand that. It was wrong." Tris said, staring at the floor. "I asked Uriah to pretend we were together. Despite the fact he was with Marlene."

Tobias' mind was spinning in a million different directions. He looked over at Marlene and Uriah, who were holding hands. Uriah smiled encouragingly at Tris, and while Marlene seemed happy for the truth to be aired out, she seemed upset that Tris was hurting.

"What are you saying, Tris?" Tobias said, before he could think to stop himself.

She looked up and made eye contact with him. The guilt there nearly killed him.

She spoke softly, just barely loud enough to be audible. "I wanted to look like I was okay…I, I wanted to make you jealous. I wanted to look like I was in better shape than I was because—"

"What the hell, Tris?" Tobias spat.

"I'm sorry, I just—"

"You hurt my feelings! You did this just to fucking spite me? You lied!" He said, his voice raising with every word. The circle was silent. But Tris seemed upset now.

"You lied too! How is this any different?"

"I didn't do it to go out of my way to hurt you! Maybe if you'd listen to me—"

"But you DID, Four." Tris said firmly. The sharp tone of her voice cutting through him. "You did hurt me. It happened. And you lied to me. You kept things from me. So don't you dare go around pointing fingers before you take a good look in the goddamn mirror."

"Okay!" Christina said, resting her hand on Tris' arm. "That's enough. Tris, your turn."

He saw her close her eyes and take a deep breath. "Yeah." There was another pause and she opened her eyes and tried to smile. "Mar, Candor or Dauntless?"

And the game continued.

Everyone was drunk and losing their clothes. Except for Tobias and Tris. They were still sober. Although, they were both getting close to completely undressed. She had dodged questions and dares involving physical intimacy—things that went 'too far' according to her—and anything about her feelings, opinions, and actions regarding Tobias. Then, Zeke dared Tris to kiss Tobias. She had tried to shrug like it meant nothing, and stood, walking over to him in nothing but her bra and panties, and kissed Tobias on the cheek.

When they argued, she pointed out that Zeke hadn't specified where. Just she kiss him.

His face still tingled from her lips touched his slightly stubbly skin.

It came back around to Tris.

"Tris," Uriah asked, smiling, and carefree. At least someone was having a good night. "Candor or Dauntless."

Tris bit her lip and finally said, "Candor."

Uriah thought for a while, and then decided. "What was in your fear landscape and how many did you have?"

Tris' eyes went wide. "That's not appropriate, Uri."

He shrugged. "Then the bra goes off."

Tris sighed. "The first was crows. Then control…I was in a glass box that was filling with water. After, I was in the ocean, drowning, so I got up on a rock and ran. But then I was tied at the stake, and Peter was burning me alive. Then faceless men trying to get me…and then it was…" She faltered, then continued. "Uh, then it was a gun being held to my head. If I didn't shoot my family, the person was going to kill me."

"What did you do?" Marlene asked.

"I let myself get shot. I couldn't kill them."

That was six.

"You had seven." Tobias said. "Your results said that you had seven, but you only listed off six fears. What did you leave out?'

"I'm sorry?" Tris challenged him.

"What was the missing fear?"

"It's non-existent. That's why everyone is going to call me Six, Four." Tris said sharply.

Tobias narrowed his eyes. "Look, I don't really care, but if you're going to list off your fears, you should at least list them all off."

Tris' eyes watered—just a little. "Drop it."

"No."

"Tris," Christina said, "Just spill. It can't be that bad. I told you one of my fears."

"Being afraid of moths is not the same thing as being scared of intimacy, Christina!"

The room fell silent.

"What?" Will interjected quietly after moment.

"Tris," Tobias said, "I, I'm sorr—"

"I need to go." Tris grabbed her things and stood, quickly getting dressed again, and practically sprinting out of the apartment. Everyone was quiet. Tobias felt like a class A ass.

Tobias stood. "I think I'll just—"

"Sit. Down."

Everyone turned to look at Marlene, who was out of Uriah's arms, and had a full frown plastered on her face. Marlene didn't get angry. Ever.

Tobias did as he was told and plopped himself back down on the couch next to Zeke faster than he ever had.

"I don't know about everyone else," She began, "But I am so sick and tired of this fighting you two have going on. I mean, this absolutely ridiculous! If you had gotten your shit together and apologized right after this had happened, my boyfriend wouldn't have pretended to date Six just to hurt you, and oh by the way, Candor or Dauntless would have actually been fun instead of a way for you and Six to be passive aggressive the entire time!

Or, you know, you could have just been honest from the get go, instead of lying to her for an entire freaking month so that she could what, fall in love with you again? Do you know how stupid that is? She already loved you! Both of you! Four and Toby! And if you had been straightforward instead of being a COWARD, Six wouldn't gotten hurt. You wouldn't have gotten hurt, and I wouldn't be yelling at you!" Marlene sighed and leaned back into Uriah. "Uri, I hate yelling. I feel awful."

Uriah nodded and kissed her hair. "I know you do, baby."

"I'm sorry." Tobias said. It was the only thing he could think to say.

"We're not the ones you should be apologizing to, Four. That person just ran out of the room because you made her uncomfortable." Christina said sharply. "Way to go, numb nuts."

"I don't know what you want me to do! She can't even look me in the eye, Christina!" Tobias shouted. He couldn't handle much more of this.

Shauna spoke next. "I warned you, Four. You ignored me." She paused and sighed when Tobias gave her the pleading eyes, begging her to help him. "She got offered a leadership position. She should be in a good mood after she gets her apartment. Go over there after Job Selection and make her listen."

"It's just short of us locking you two in a closet and waiting for you to either talk it out, or screw each other's brains out." Zeke said.

Tobias could feel his face go red all the way to the tips of his ears. "Really Zeke?"

He shrugged. "Hey, I gave you options. What you do in said closet is up to you."

Tobias rolled his eyes. "Let me try and handle this first."

"Because you're doing such a glorious job right now." Uriah said sarcastically.

Tobias shook his head and stood. "I'll see you guys later. I have to go and develop a grovel."

*What'd you think? Let me know! Next chapter is Job Selection and the BEGINNING of the FourTris talk take two.
