My pov

The time past fast. It is soon the day that max announced the final ranking for stage one . I am sure that I did good because I never lose any fight. However , I know that my rank will not above Edward because his opponents are always stronger:Eric , four and William etc.

However I am confident that at least I will be above rank three because I can't be worse than any other one except Edward . Edward beats up Eric and four and I didn't lose to them either

I sit in cafeteria . Alan is talking with max and I don't see Amar anywhere

"Hey Delia." Ted sits down beside me ." How are you today."

"Good , ted did you ever see Amar these day?" I ask

"Not really, I think that he is in trouble with max." Ted shrugs." Why are you looking for him."

I shake my head . I don't know but I feel something is about to come.

"I feel something bad is about yo come." I say

William pours me a cup of hot chocolate .

"You see ." He points at upstair

I see Abby is crying. She runs downstair toward max. I stand up and follow her. I don't want her to hurt Alan.

"Max why!" Abby screams

Sam and Alan turn toward her . Elizabeth and Elisa drag me backward .

"Don't go, she will hurt you ." Elizabeth is worried

"I can't let her hurt Alan." I pull my hand away from her

"Alan is the lieutenant , she can't hurt him Delia." Elizabeth shakes her head

Jessica is also standing at a corner with Zeke . Uriah just comes back from school.

"What is happening Abby!" Alan stands in front of her

"Why max sent Amar away to the fence." Abby pushes Alan away

Alan grabs the handle . I run toward Alan.

"Are you okay?" I hug him.

"I am fine babe ." Alan kisses my forehead ." Just stay with your friends . I have to deal with it."

I stand away from him. Max looks at Abby for a minute

"He causes bad impact on the training ." Max lifts his chin

"For what!" Abby frowns

"Because of you." Sam points at abby.

Abby is staring at Sam. Max shakes his head at Sam

"So it is because of me ? Alan and Delia are also boyfriend and girlfriend now ! Why Alan is still here ." Abby points at me and Alan

Alan stands in front of me to protect me .

"They never make love in the public . Last time even the leader from abnegation saw you and Amar ." Max sighs

Alan's pov

I am worried that she will hurt Delia. Delia is weak and small. She is my girlfriend and I should protect her . However she walks toward Abby.

"Abby, my parent treat you as their daughter as well. Do you know what will they feel if they see you did that with Amar in public." Delia asks her carefully." I understand you love Amar but you have to control yourself."

"Delia, i never understand why Jason coulter loves you and why Alan loves you. Everyone love you so much ."Abby is crying.

This is the secret that I don't know. Jason coulter is the leader of erudite and he loved Delia? I should trust Delia not trust Abby. However I am not confident enough to trust my own choice

"Alan, you have to trust Delia . Abby can be a liar ." Sam grabs my shoulder

"I know but I need to calm down somehow ." I turn around and leave

I leave the cafeteria and walk toward the chasm. I don't know what I should do or think.

"Alan." Delia wraps me in her arms

"Delia. I am not angry with you." I take her hand away." I am just frustrated ."

"Alan you are angry. I can feel that . Listen to me okay." She walks in front of me and forced me to face her."

She grabs my face in her hand. Her hand is so soft.

"Jason coulter is Eric's brother . He was one of our family's friends. He did like me just like ted liked me but after i refused him, then he never say that to me." Delia kisses me

I wrap her in my arms. I am shivering but I can't let her feel that.

"Are you cold?"

However she did feel that. I shake my head

"No I am not. I am just not feel safe." I sigh ." You must be disappointed in me."

"I am not Alan." Delia smiles at me." I am glad that you are jealous because you care . However I don't want you to hurt yourself."

I nod at her . I wrap her hand in my hand and walk back to cafeteria .

Max is giving a speech . I walk yo the stage beside him.

"So if you rank above the red line , then you can continue the training. If you rank below the red line, we will not waste any time on you. Here is your ranking." Max points at the screen

I look at the screen . Edward ranks first and Delia is second . I sigh with relief

"I know she will stay." Sam says

My pov

I am staying. I am ranking number two. Elizabeth and Elisa are number three and four . All my friends stay. Except Mary and a few of dauntless born are out. Abby is last one before cutting off. She loses all the fight but luckily survive the last fight with Eric .

Eric still likes her but he doesn't want to be with her anymore . Max looks at all of us .

"So those of you who are cut have to leave before tomorrow morning ." Max claps his hand." Congratulation to those who stay ."

"Good job Edward ." I smile at him

"Good job to you too." Edward wraps his hand around me

I look again at alan. He is jealous still. I pull edward's arm away from me

"So now you guys can celebrate ."

Max dismisses us . We sit around the table. Hana walks toward me

"Delia can I talk to you ?" Hana pats my back

"Sure ." I nod at her

I walk with hana . She leads me to a corner so no one can hear us

"You have a good rank. I want to resign my position because I am pregnant again. I trust you more than Edward . I want you to take my position" hana grabs my hand

"However Edward ranked before me . If he wants the position, I can't take it." I lower my head

"There are two ways. If I tell max that I want you to take my position , then when he chooses the job that will not be his option." Hana smiles at me." I know that you want to help Alan to find out the truth about his mother's death , then this is the best way."

I know that if I can be ambassador , then I can also talk to Jack kang about it.

"I will take it hana ." I nod at her." I will not let you down "

"I trust you and your mom. We were best friends at school." Hana brushes my hair.

"Really? You knew my mom?" I am surprised .

Hana let me go. I get back to my friends. They save a piece of cake for me already.

"Delia , what did hana talked to you?" Alan asks me

"Nothing." I shake my head

"Are you hiding me something?" Alan seems sad

I can't make him sad anymore . I lean into him

"She wants me to take her position so I can find out about your mother's death ." I say

"I don't need you to do that Delia. That is very dangerous . I want you to be safe." Alan says .

Alan's pov

I find an excuse to leave the table . I walk toward Zeke and Uriah. I am not angry but unhappy with their mom.

"Where is your mom and dad?" I ask

"Mom is in her office . Dad is there as well." Zeke points upstair

"Thank you ." I smile." Congratulation."

I leave cafeteria . I walk to Hana's office myself . I knock on her door three times

"Come in please ." Hana says

I open the door . Nathan is also in there as well

"Nathan I want to talk to hana alone." I sit down .

"Okay I will leave now ." Nathan kisses hana on his forehead." Good night Alan."

"Good night ." I say

I am imagine that I and Delia will live like this even when we have the baby.

"So are you here to talk to me about Delia?" Hana smiles." I know that she is all you care."

" yes I am . Hana , she can't take your place . That is dangerous for her." I explain

"Sometime , dangerous place is a safe place ." Hana shakes her head." You don't know that she is divergent. Erudite is working with max to kill divergent and if she is in leadership, then no one will suspect her ."

Delia is divergent? I never know that. I am shocked

"How did you know?" I ask

"I and her mother are best friends. I heard there was a problem with the test. I asked Tori secretly that Delia is divergent so she had to report verbally." Hana sighs

"I misunderstand you . I am sorry ." I lower my head

I am shaking now . I have to protect Delia . I have to even use my life to do it.

"She also wants to help you to find out the truth so this is the best solutions." Hana nods at me

"I get it . Thank you hana ." I stand up." Have a great night."

I leave her office . Delia is standing there alone

"Alan ." Delia hugs me

"Delia , I will do everything to protect you."'I kiss her forehead

" I will protect myself as well. Don't worry." Delia nudges my chest ." I just want you to be safe"

She is so soft and kind . I hold her up. I bring her back to my room

"Delia I can't control myself anymore ." I am breathing heavily.

" then let it go ." Delia kisses my forehead

"You are still not 18."
