Hey y'all!
I'm soooo soooo sorry that I haven't been updating recently. What's it been, like 2 months? I'm back now and this is the 5th out of 7 stories that I am updating.
I hope you like this chapter. If you do or if you don't a review would be appreciated. It helps me know what I could do better for next time.
Peace and Love!

DRIAS POV
I'm fighting Molly today and I thought I'd be madder at her than I am. Ever since Uriah reached out and grabbed my hand last night, I've been thinking differently. Mostly I've been thinking about Uriah and how handsome and sweet and funny he is. But I've also been thinking about how Peters and my relationship has been built on nothing but a physical intimacy. I'm not sure that he even knows my favorite (non-alcoholic) drink.
Now that I think about it, Peter looks really deep in thought right now. I wonder what's on his mind. He keeps looking over here and then looking away and shaking his head. Oh my. Does he know that it was a prank that made him wet himself last night and it was me that set it up? I sure hope not.
"First fight of today, Dria and Molly." Well here goes nothing. I walk up to the mat and so does Molly. She looks determined but so am I. The first thing she does when she gets on the mat is blow Peter a kiss. He shrinks back as if to say leave me out of this. She is dead meat.
I rush to trip her and it works. She is down when I start to kick. I kick her in the stomach until she starts spitting up blood. This doesn't seem to be knocking her out so I do what I have to do. I kick her in the head. Damn bitch is out like a light.
Four circles my name as winner of the match. I walk off the mat and get high fives from all my friends. And of course Four feels the need to comment. "Unconventional start, but effective."
The day went by rather quickly. Peter won his fight against Tris. As much as I am starting to like Tris, we all saw that one coming. Al won his fight against Will. I'm proud of Al. He is strong but doesn't get to show it much. Although I think he wanted to show off a bit for Bryn. Bryn won her fight against Myra. Myra is probably the weakest one here so it's no surprise that Bryn won. Edward won his fight against Drew. Again, obvious turnout. And Christina sat out for the day.
Lunch was eventful today. Once we got to the cafeteria, the dauntless born were already there eating. Our little group of 6 went up to Uriah and his friends and sat with them. Uriah moved over so I could sit next to him. He is so sweet. Peter went to sit at a table close to us and the weirdest thing happened. Aubrey got up from sitting with her friends and went to sit with Peter. Is it me or is she batting her eyelashes at him and he is eating it up.
You have got to be kidding me! Now I have to face two girls to get Peter back. Wait. Do I want Peter back?
I lean my head on Uriah's shoulder. I feel his muscles tighten and then relax under my head.
Do I want back the guy who cheated on me and then once he got me back dreamt of another girl.
Uriah refills my glass with my favorite (non-alcoholic) drink, lemonade. "How did you know that I like lemonade after my sweet tea?" I don't think we'd talked about this yet.
"I just watched you alternate lemonade and sweet tea for about 5 glasses yesterday so I thought it would be a safe bet that you would do the same thing today." He smiles at me. He's so observant.
Nope. I don't think I really want Peter back anymore. I think I have my eye on someone else now.
"Hey Uriah. Can we talk? You know. Privately?" I want to tell him how I feel about him and tell him that I hope I didn't blow my shot with him last night.
"Sure Dria. Let's take a walk." And that's exactly what we did. We walked in silence until we reached a secluded hallway.
"Uriah. I am sorry if this ruins our friendship but I have to tell you that I think I like you as more than a friend. Now I know I might have blown any shot I might have had with you last-"
I never did get to finish my sentence. Uriah's lips were on mine quicker than anyone I've ever seen. His lips were soft yet chapped. And he was being very impatient. But then again, so was I. I wanted him, bad. I kissed him back hard. Our lips moved in perfect synch and man did it feel good. He pulled away from our kiss first. He was slightly panting and that made me feel like I accomplished something for the day.
"I've liked you since the second I laid eyes on you years ago. I've always known that you were something special. When you were with Peter it felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest and put through a wood chipper. Now that you told me you like me I can finally say the words that I've wanted to say for years. Dria, will you be my girlfriend?" Damn! That was so romantic!
I smile a smile so wide that it spreads from ear to ear. I nod furiously. "Yes Uriah. I will be your girlfriend."
Someone comes barreling down the hallway and I see that it is the other Pedrad brother, Zeke. What's he doing here?
"YES! I was in the control room and I saw the whole thing! My little bro FINALLY got the girl of his dreams!" I start to blush. Uriah wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me to him. I rest my head on his shoulder and smile. Zeke comes up and hugs us both. I have never felt so loved in all my life. "Welcome to the family Dria. Welcome to the family."
