Hello everyone! I am very disappointed that I only received four new reviews, but I would still like to thank the four that did review, you guys are awesome. I was hoping that the rest of you guys would let me know how you feel about how I am bringing Uriah back. I have a lot of ideas for this story, but I don't want to be too generic or make this story just like all of the other ones. No offense to those of you who have written some of the other ones, I'm actually reading a lot of stories that have been posted by my followers, but the whole reason for me writing this is to be different than everyone else's. So please everyone, let me know what you want, how you you feel. Review or message me anytime!

Letting Tris go is always so hard. I know she's going to come back to me, but she was in danger for so long, sometimes it's hard for me to recognize that she isn't in danger anymore. It is kind of nice, however, to have some time to myself. I absolutely don't mind spending time with Tris, but I haven't really taken any time for myself lately. I'm torn between going to see Evelyn and going to Zeke's. I finally decide to go to Zeke's so I can talk to him about some things.
I wander down the path and think of all that has happened, and everything that I know is going to come. I feel bad for not telling Tris about Choosing Day. I know that everything that I told her about overwhelmed her, but I feel like I maybe should have just told her all of it. Instead of taking the aptitude test, all of the 16 year olds will now sit through a short presentation that educates them about the different jobs that each faction has to offer. The next day is the choosing ceremony. Instead of letting your blood drip into a bowl, which was supposed to symbolize faction before blood, at least in my opinion, each person will drop a piece of paper with their name and job choice on it into the bowl. They will still have to go through Initiation, just not the same as it used to be. For those that choose a Dauntless job, they have to be trained just like the old initiates. No matter what. Dauntless job you pick, working in Dauntless means being ready to fight and protect at a moment's notice. Even though becoming Factionless isn't possible anymore, those who fail during Initiation have to pick a new job in a different faction. Anyone who didn't fail but still wishes to change their job has to wait until the next Choosing Ceremony to do so, no matter how long they've been working at their current job. In my opinion, the whole process is confusing.
I finally get to Zeke's door, but I hear yelling coming from inside. I knock hesitantly and after a moment, Zeke comes to the door.
"Man, I'm glad you are here," he says patting my shoulder as I walk in.
"What's going on?" I ask as he turns and walks towards his bedroom.
"Uri," he pauses while the screaming continues, "broke up with Christina."
"Why?" I ask, puzzled.
Christina and Uriah have been inseparable since he woke up from his coma.
"I don't know, dude," he shakes his head. "He hasn't even told her that he's out of the hospital."
"Dude, she's gonna flip," I say, trying to stay calm. "I bet that's why she had Tris come over today."
"Well, we'll get to the mystery of why he broke up with her later. Why did you come here to begin with?" he asks.
"Don't sound so happy to see me," I joke. "I actually came here to talk to you about what happened at the party last night."
"Oh man, that was crazy stuff. I can't believe Nita kissed you, dude! And Peter kissed Tris!"
"Yes, I know, Zeke. Thank you for reminding me," I glare.
"How did Tris react?"
"She thought I had something going on with Nita."
"Well, didn't you?" He asks.
I think back to when we were outside the city and I first met Nita. Of course I can see why Tris was cautious of her. To most people, Nita would be considered gorgeous. She turns a lot of heads here even. But not mine. Nita is arrogant. She knows people think she's beautiful and she tries to use that against everyone and to her advantage. She's manipulative. It irks me that even Zeke thinks we had a thing. She always followed me around. Sure, we talked a little, but that was it. She'd tried to kiss me a couple times, but I always refused her. The only time she even came close to succeeding was when I was drunk.
"No, man, I didn't," I say harshly.
"What are you going to do about Peter?" He asks trying to change the subject.
"Maybe he doesn't remember that she and I are together," I suggest.
I don't really believe that. However, that's the only thing that I can say other than vowing to destroy him. I've never liked Peter. But now that he's overstepped his boundaries in a completely new way, I want to end him. I remember when he attacked Tris during her initiation. She was unusually distraught - not that almost being thrown into the chasm by your enemies, and someone that you thought was a friend isn't traumatizing, but she seemed overly distressed by it. I remember her blurting out that Peter had touched her. Was that his way of trying to be with her because he knew she hated him? Is that why he helped save her life?
"Do you know if we have access to all of the old footage in the control room from before the war?" I ask him.
"We should. It was all backed up to an external drive," he responds.
"And what about since the war ended? Do we have any footage of the Compound or anywhere else?"
"I don't know, man. Why are you interested in all of this all of a sudden?"
"I just have a theory."
