AN: Hey guys! This is my first chapter that has been bata read, so I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Divergent Trilogy
Four POV
It's been a week since I saw my father, and his words are running through my head non-stop. He will hurt Tris if I don't stay away from her. I can't let her get hurt, I can't be the reason she's in pain anymore. Today I'm being discharged, and I'm going to have to avoid Tris for the most part. I had been spending most of my time at her place because I'm roommates with Zeke and Shaunna, and we wanted some time alone to catch up. I guess now I get to go back to watching the sickly sweet, odd couple for the rest of the year.
When Bea and I were little, she would tell me that I should tell the police about Marcus, but I denied it. I thought no one would believe me. Now they really won't. I got a tattoo that covers my scars. They are still visible if you look closely, but it's still hard to see. I have one picture of my back before I got the tattoo on my computer in a file no one will find. It's only there in the case Marcus found me and I had to do something. That's starting to sound a lot like our situation, but now that the time has come, it's harder than I thought it would be. I'm strong enough to protect myself now, but I don't know if I can protect Tris. Marcus works for the government, he can mess her life up in more ways than just abuse. I don't know how long it will take, but I have to leave her if I ever want her to be happy.
Tris POV
It has been a week since Tobias was discharged from the hospital, and I haven't seen much of him. It's as if he's avoiding me. I don't know what Marcus said to him that would make him stay away from me, but I know it has to have been bad because Toby is strong enough to fight against Marcus now. I just got him back, and first, it was that woman, then the accident, and now his father. I don't know what life has against me but I just don't understand how I'm so unlucky. This should be the prime of my life, but instead, things keep breaking me down. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I just want to leave, to get away, but I can't. These people are the closest thing I have to family. The only living family I have left abandoned me long ago.
AN: Hey guys! So this chapter is a lot shorter than I had hoped. I ran into some writer's block and couldn't for the life of me figure out what to say. I'm really hoping the next chapter will have more luck (And I already have some ideas for it). I hope you enjoyed this chapter. -Rose
