Hey Guys! Alex here! I'm posting two chapters today because I didn't post one on Friday. My mom took away the computer while I was writing it. So it's her fault. Anyways, here's the next chapter! P.S. the chapters will be in Tris' POV unless I say otherwise.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Divergent. If I did, I'd be famous.
Chapter 3
After the tour, we went to the cafeteria for lunch. I was sitting next to Tobias and Zeke. Christina, Will, and Uriah sat across from us. Al sat a little ways down. I had kind of forgiven him for teaming up with Peter and Drew against me. I knew he hadn't actually meant to hurt me. He was scared and pressured. I hadn't forgiven him lightly, though, and it took a long time to forgive him. And we definitely aren't as close as we used to be. We barely, pretty much never, talk.
Tobias brought me out of my trance. "What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.
"Al." I said quietly. Tobias knew I didn't like to talk about it so he didn't question me further. I'm glad he didn't press me on this situation. I still haven't told him what Al did the day before our wedding.
Flashback
I was in the apartment, alone. Tobias was at work and I had taken the day off to do last minute wedding things. There was a soft knock on the door and I went to go see who it was. It was Al. I let him in and invited him to sit on the couch. We talked a little, but whenever the wedding on Tobias, Four to him, was brought up, he quickly changed the subject. After a while, he turned suddenly serious.
"Tris," he hesitated, unsure if he should continue. "I have something to confess."
"What?" I asked. I had no idea where this was going.
"Ever… umm," he cleared his throat. "Ever since the first time I saw you, I wanted to be with you. I fell in love, and stayed in love."
I was shocked. I tried to speak, but no words would come out. Part of me wanted to slap him, part of me wanted to ask why he revealed this now. The day before my wedding. Not that an earlier revelation would've changed the way I feel about him. That's when he put his hand on my cheek and leaned in to kiss me. Before he could press his lips to mine, I pushed him away.
"I think it's time for you to go." I said.
"But..." he started to protest, but I cut him off.
"You need to leave." I repeated. "Now!" Al looked hurt, but he didn't try to argue. Once he left, I sat on the couch and tried to comprehend what had just happened.
End of Flashback
After lunch, Tobias and I brought the initiates to the training room to learn how to shoot guns. Most of them were doing very well. All but two hit the target by their second try, and Kyle was, to my surprise, the first to hit the center. My assumptions about Rachel were proved correct also.
"This is so boring!" she whined. "Can't we go shoot at something that moves?" Tobias smirked and I immediately knew where this was going.
"Ok," Tobias said. "You want something more thrilling?" Rachel nodded eagerly. "Go stand in front of the target." Tobias ordered her.
"Wait," she looked scared. "Why would you want me to…" realization hit her. "You can't be serious."
"I'm completely serious." Tobias stated. "Now stand in front of the target or consider yourself factionless." Rachel was on the verge of tears. She walked over and stood in front of the target, surprisingly, uncomplaining. Tobias aimed the gun and fired. The bullet barely missed Rachel's cheek. I'm surprised it didn't hit her from how bad she was shaking.
"Ok transfers, that's enough for one day!" I said. Relief flooded into Rachel's gray eyes as she ran back over to Tesa, who was glaring at me like it was my fault her best friend just got shot at.
I remembered that I told Christina that id meet her after training, so I quickly kissed Tobias and said that I'd see him later. The kiss was right in front of Tesa, and I felt another surge of satisfaction.
There it is! I hope you liked it! Remember to review and give feedback or suggestions! Constructive criticism is accepted. I might update once more later if I feel up to it. Shout out to divergentdandelion for being my first reviewer.
