Tris pov
Today is the trial. And I have to go alone. They wouldn't let Tobias out of the hospital. My parents are here, and so are Tori and Harrison, but without Tobias, I might as well be alone.
We sit on the benches that surround the middle and wait. My mom has my hand in hers. She's so scared. I can see it in her eyes. I try to tell her it will be alright, but I don't even believe my own words. How can I? I have no idea what's going to happen.
Jack Kang calls Amelia Matthews forward. He explains the truth serum process and then injects her with the serum. Her body slumps in the chair.
"What is you name?"
"Amelia Mariah Matthews."
"Who are your parents?"
"Jeanine Matthews, and Jonathan Reind."
"Do you have any family?"
"I have a sister. Breanna Mathews. She goes by Bree Reind."
"How old is she?"
"She's 15. She goes by our father's last name so that we aren't linked together. Please don't hurt her, she's only doing what I tell her."
"And what is it that you were doing?"
"I was changing the world and finishing what my mother started. I was finally going to rid the world of divergent and all their allies. And I was going to get rid of the girl and her husband who killed my mom."
"And who is that?"
"Tris Eaton and Four."
My hand tightens around my mom's. My dad sits, he looks very tense.
"How we're you planning on doing this?"
"I used my boyfriend to do things and get things for me. I was able to get past the guards at dauntless and sabotage the cake. I created a serum that was in bullets so the dauntless will be known. I was going to take them out with a poison. And Caleb was going to do it for me."
"How were you able to turn him against his sister?"
"I had a serum that put him under my control."
"Did you have any feelings for him?" He asks.
She thinks for a moment,"not at first."
"One last question, what is your biggest regret?"
"That I was so careless."
"Thank you for your honesty."
She is taken out of the chair and hand cuffed.
"Amelia Matthews is charged for treason, attempt at murder, and murder."
Next they bring up Caleb and do the procedure that is done before every trial. Caleb slumps in the chair and my mom jumps. "What is your name?"
"Caleb Prior."
"Who are your parents?"
"Natalie and Andrew Prior."
"Do you have any family?"
"Beatrice Prior Eaton. She's my sister."
"Do you remember what happened last week?"
"No. I have no memory. I've been told what happened, but I don't remember anything."
"You don't remember doing anything for Amelia that had something to do with divergents?"
"No."
"Were you ever suspicious of something?"
"No."
"Did you believe your sister and brother-in-law when they tried to warn you?"
"A little... I chose not to believe them."
"One last question, what is your biggest regret?"
"I regret falling in love so easily."
"Thank you for your honesty." Jack says. "Caleb Prior Will not be charged for these crimes. It was not under his own judgement, therefore he will not be held accountable."
My mom lets out a breath she was holding. They release Caleb and he slowly walks over to us. The trials are finally over. They take Amelia and take her to a place that I'm not sure of.
My mom hugs Caleb as she cries. "I'm sorry, mom,"he says.
Then he hugs me and says,"I should have listened to you and Four."
"I know... It's okay. Be more careful."
I say goodbye to my parents and then go to the hospital to see Tobias. He is anxiously waiting for me when I get there. "What happened?" He asks looking worried.
"She is charged for treason, attempt at murder, and murder. And Caleb isn't being held accountable for what he did since he can't remember doing any of it. "
"That's good news, why are you crying?" He asks.
"I don't know why!"I cry.
"Shhh, it's okay,"he chuckles as he holds me to him. I feel him cringe when I hit his chest but when I try to pull away, he holds me down."Tobias, aren't I hurting you?"
"It's a little uncomfortable, but having you close to me is worth it."
He kisses my forehead and strokes my hair. "I love you."
"I love you too."
I sit up and take his hand in mine. His other hand wipes my tears as he smiles at me. I move the hand that's in mine to my stomach. I feel our baby kick his hand and he lets our a laugh.
"I love you too, baby boy."
Finally, Tobias gets to come home. We walk slowly, Tobias puffs out his chest and shoulders as much as he cans as he walks. I can see the pain in his eyes. "Four, you don't have to act so tough,"I say as we walk through the pit.
He shakes his head and dismisses me. I hate when he gets like this. He feels that he has to act tough when he's hurt. He's only human and he will get hurt. He feels weak and I understand that, but he doesn't have to act like Four to me. I've seen him in his worst, and he still feels the need to act like this.
I can feel myself getting angrier and angrier. My hormones are getting the best of me. When we get home, Tobias asks,"do you want some lunch?"
I just shrug it off and shake my head.
I hear him sigh and his arm reaches out to touch my shoulder. "Tris..."He sighs. I shrug his hand off my shoulder and cross my arms.
"I'm not hungry."
"Tris, what's wrong?" He asks. I turn around and am met with Four.
I point to his face and say,"that's what's wrong! You're being Four, not Tobias!"
"Tris-"
"No, don't 'Tris' me! I'm tired of you acting like Four around me! I didn't fall in love with Four, I fell in love with Tobias!" I want to cry and yell and run. He looks at me hurt with some confusion.
I glare at him and say,"I'm your wife, you aren't supposed to act like a different person around me!"
"I know-"
"Especially when you are hurt!"
"Tris-" he reaches out for me.
"No! Don't touch me right now."
He sighs and sits down on the couch. His hands move to his face as he wipes his hand down his face. I walk to the kitchen and burst into tears. He's hurt and I'm yelling at him! Wait I'm mad! But, he didn't mean it...
My emotions are playing with my judgment. My hormones are going crazy right now and causing me to be mad and sad. I rest my elbows on the counter and cover my eyes as I cry. I feel two strong arms around me, but this time I don't push him away.
"Tris,"he says. It's Tobias and not Four,"I'm sorry for acting like Four and not myself. I feel helpless and weak. I should be opening up to you. Especially while all this is happening. You know I love you so much, right?"
I nod and continue to cry.
"Please don't cry,"he says.
"Tris-"
"I'm sorry..."I sigh,"you don't need me yelling at you. I don't even have control of my emotions anymore. I'm sorry and I love you!"
"Shhh... It's okay,"he says a little confused as he hugs me. He wipes my tears and I say,"I'm sorry I'm such a mess lately."
"No, you're not a mess. It's okay to have all these emotions. It's not your fault." Hsags as he rubs a hand on my stomach. I rest my head on his chest and he cringes. I move off of him and say,"you should lay down. You're still not healed."
"I'm fi-"he stops mid sentence and says,"you're right. I'll go lay down. But you need to stop stressing."
"Why don't you take a bath with me?"I ask him.
"Alright,"he says as he take my hand and leads me upstairs.
