Chapter 2: She's back.
Standing by the net, I waited for the initiates to drop. I thought of what it was like when I jumped off the building and into the large cavity. The way the wind grabbed at my shirt like it was trying to tear the material from my body.
As I stood there today I felt the wind rush through the void in the ceiling and blow onto my face, warning me that the train had just passed and the initiates stood overhead.
"Who's first?" I heard Shae's voice echo.
A moment later a figure dressed in black and white fell onto the net, a scream following the body. The boy looked up at me, his eyes wide. He was divergent, the boy from the other day. I helped him out of the net and interrupted him as he was going to say something.
"Name?" I asked, hiding my surprise to the best of my ability.
"I uh- I- Preston." His voice came out as a stuttered croak.
"First jumper, Preston!" I called out, claps and cheers followed my shout abruptly then stopped, I continued. "Welcome to Dauntless."
He stood beside the wall as I waited for the next initiate. It didn't take long for a dainty body dressed in a blue dress to fall onto the net, she was silent. She sat up in the net and looked at me. Her hair was dark and laid in curls on her shoulders. Her face was shaped like the one I had kissed and her eyes were wide, I could see the dozens of colours in them as soon as she rolled out of the net and stood before me. This was not Jane, but she looked almost exactly like her. I felt tears welling up in my eyes and blinked them away then motioned to Preston.
"Welcome to dauntless." I managed to say without my voice cracking.
I watched her walk, she walked like Jane. I was soon distracted by the screams of the next initiate.

"Each initiate this year must be watched closely, we let one Divergent go under the radar, it cant happen again." Max said.
Shae and I sat in an office that was sparsely decorated, Max on one side of the desk, us on the other. I felt my jaw clench at the thought of terminating the existence of the Divergent.
"If you suspect an initiate is Divergent you need to report it, we will take care of it from there." He finished, picked up a stack of papers and shuffled them neatly.
"Can I ask why the Divergent are dangerous?" The words slipped from my mouth before I gave them a thought, Which earned me a look from both of them.
"They can ruin our society." He paused. "Divergent can fit into any criteria, they can lie with ease, be brave, crave knowledge, be peaceful and even selfless." He cleared his throat and looked at us both. "Therefore, they must be destroyed before they can undermine our government and turn us all against each other."
I nodded, Shae and I stood then walked out. I started walking towards the pub when I felt her grab my arm.
"Again?" Shae asked, I nodded. "You have training tomorrow."
I looked at her. "The Erudite girl, the one in the dress, what was her name?"
"Olivia." She responded quickly.
"Last name?"
I watched her face and saw her reluctantly answer. "Olivia Holly."
I shook my head and took my arm back then continued on my path to the pub. When I reached the pub the bartender handed me a bottle of vodka, smiled, and rang me up.
"Wasn't there a party tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah, to celebrate the new initiates." I sighed.
"Not going?" He raised his pierced brow.
I shrugged and walked out. I should probably show my face, It would look bad if I didn't.

As I knocked on the door of Zach's apartment I considered turning back and walking away. He answered the door as I turned to leave and pulled me in. I looked around and saw all of the initiates, Shae, Ava and Alan sitting in a circle of couches and chairs, some standing, some sitting. I stood against the wall, opened my bottle of vodka and chugged a good bit of it. Shae watched me out of the corner of her eye and sighed when I screwed the cap back on.
"Candor or Dauntless?" Alan asked Preston, who was standing beside a girl with curly hair who was sitting in a chair, she looked familiar but I couldn't concentrate to think of her name.
"Dauntless." He responded, I could see him mentally preparing himself.
Alan grinned. "Make out with the prettiest girl you see."
Preston hesitated then turned to the curly haired girl, stood in front of her and leaned down. She looked up at him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hungrily. I clenched my jaw, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took another long drink. I was screwing the cap back on when the finished. I looked over at the girl, it was Jane. She sat there with a smile on her face and blushed cheeks. I could feel the rage building in my hands but tried to stifle it. She wouldn't kiss me when we played the game but she'll willingly let this initiate put his tongue in her mouth. I shook my head and closed my eyes, feeling the familiar feeling of Jane's hand in mine. I looked at my hands but the only thing they held was a bottle of vodka.
"Jayden, Candor or Dauntless?" Preston asked a boy across the circle. The boy was tall and looked like he had flames on his head, after blinking I realized it was just his hair.
"Dauntless." Jayden sighed, wiping his hands on his pants.
"Chug that bottle of liquor." Preston pointed to the bottle beside Jayden.
"You want me to die from alcohol poisoning?" Jayden raised his eyebrow and rolled his eyes then took off his shirt and tossed it in the middle of the circle.
Chugging the bottle wouldn't be a problem, its the stupidity afterwords you have to worry about. I drank a little more from my bottle and noticed I had only a few drinks left. Where did it go? Shae noticed the look of my oblivious thought and took the bottle.
"Dean." She said through her teeth.
"There's only a few drinks left, lemme finish it." I grabbed for the bottle but missed by a long shot.
"You can barely talk." She rolled her eyes and tossed it to Alan who finished it.
I sighed and looked away, that was my vodka.
"Dean." I looked over at Jayden who had called my name.
"Yes?" I chuckled, I'm not sure why but I did.
"Candor or Dauntless?" He smiled.
"Dauntless, sir." I chuckled again.
He laughed slightly and thought for a moment. "Kiss the most attractive-."
Before he finished his demand I made my way over to Jane, put my hand on her cheek and kissed her with as much passion as I could muster. She put her hand on the back of my neck and pulled me down closer to her, I had to put my other hand on the back of her chair to keep myself from falling. As I pulled back she bit my lip and looked up at me. Her lips didn't feel the same. I stood back up when I realized it was Olivia I had kissed. The heat of embarrassment rushed to my face and I backed up slowly to my spot.
Shae looked at me like I did something wrong. I couldn't hold eye contact with her.
After that I called it a night and started towards the door. I spotted a bottle of liquor in the corner of my eye and grabbed it then walked out. After stumbling to my apartment across the hall and walking through the door I picked up Sammy and sat in my bed. I opened the bottle and took a drink, I didn't feel a burn anymore and everything was starting to go fuzzy.
I heard my door close and looked up at Shae.
"Not closing the door anymore?" She asked, her hands on her hip. "God dammit Dean, calm the fuck down on that."
I didn't realize I was still drinking from the bottle until she took it from me. I stood up to protest but swayed a little and put my hand on her shoulder to steady myself. She looked up at me and shook her head.
"C'mon." She pulled my shirt off. "Lets get you in-"
I cut her off by grabbing her face and kissing her hungrily, it took her a moment to comply but when she did she leaned into me. I ripped her shirt off, literally, and kissed her passionately. Her tongue traced my bottom lip and joined mine inside my mouth, I felt her fingers trace down my abdomen and find themselves at the button of my pants. She unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down then laid on the bed and pulled me on top of her. I pushed her skirt off and moved my hands up her thighs while she shoved my boxers off my hips. Soon all of our clothes were on the floor and she was biting my neck. I felt her leaving a hickey on the hallow of my throat and got a cold chill, when she pulled back and looked at me I started to get off of her. What was I doing?
"Don't pull away, you're doing fine." Shae said, looking up into my eyes.
I thought of when I first kissed Jane, we were standing by the chasm. She told me those exact words. I blinked the tears away but when I opened them again I was looking at Jane.
I kissed her deeply, she's back. Her hands tangled themselves in my short hair and pulled me against her. I pushed into her and felt her gasp against my lips. I pressed my chest against hers and pushed as deep as I could. I'm not letting her leave again.
