Tris Pov

"Beatrice?" My eyes snap open. I see a shadow move along the wall illuminated in Orange light. I turn around in my bed and face towards the door.

Drew? What is he doing here so late? I sit up pulling my shirt up to cover my cleavage.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask in a sleepy voice. He steps in and closes the door behind him.

"I came to see you and to talk" talk?

"About what?" He nears my bed and I make room for him to sit down. He takes in a deep breath. What's wrong?

"Caleb told me what happened today" I roll my eyes.

"Did he?" I look at the tree next to my window.

"Beatrice he worries about you" he places his hand on my thigh. Even through this layer of blankets. I can feel his intentions. I take his hand in mine and fiddle with his fingers.

"I know...I just hate being watched all the time" I say staring into his eyes. He looks down at or United hands.

"I know you do...you don't think I hate it too?" He looks up at me.

"You know what I'm trying to do with looking for trouble...right?"

"Yes, you're trying to become factionless..." I take an intake of breath "but it's not that easy Beatrice. If you're doing this on purpose you're just like the divergent"

"You're telling me that people hate being factionless?"I say meeting his eyes.

"Yes, and you know the penalty to that...that's why you have to keep your mouth shut" I look away. He's angry now. I knew it. I let go of his hand and run my Fingers through my hair. Just so it won't be noticeable. "Don't you want a dancing career?"

"Yeah, I do...but what happens when neither your faction nor parents help you? When none of them care if you go to college or not"

He shakes his head "Your parents love you and you should be thankful for that"

"Okay yes they love me but...whenever I bring up the dancing career conversation. They ignore me completely when they know they have enough money. They're always saying how my cousin's have a medical career or business. I hate the Comparison"

"They only want what's best for you" I laugh and play around with the bracelet on my wrist "and I think you should be thankful to the faction...they allowed you in"

"Because of Caleb?" I look at him "because I should be thankful for my family?"

He shushes me"...I want to do this independently. I want to show others that I can make progress for myself" I whisper.

"Well I have to admit that when you have It your way, You always learn best" finally he's agreeing with me. We stay silent for quite a while.

"Anyway, I didn't come here so you would be mad at me...I came here to see you" I look up at him and he's smiling. I don't smile back.

"Where were you all day?"

"At home with my parents"

"Let me guess you couldn't escape them again?"

He's old enough to go his own way. What's keeping him back from standing up against his parents.

"Yeah...well no. I just had to help my mom around the house" I nod "I missed you though"

He leans in and his lips press against my own. It's not long till I have his weight on me. His body presses against mine and he deepens the kiss. This isn't going to be well. He can't be acting this way because I'm still confused to what I want. He's been trying to have sex with me ever since we started dating. The more he insists the more he pushes me down.

I'm afraid there won't be another time I get to stop him. His arms surround my body touching everything he can't keep his hands off.

His lips come off mine and he begins a trail of kisses down my neck.

"Drew" I say. He doesn't stop. So I decide louder this time "Drew!" He stops and looks up.

"What's wrong" he says still on me. Is he really asking me? I shake my head and push him off of me. I stand up and brush my hair out of the way. That's when I notice I'm only in underwear. I don't care as long as he can listen to me.

"Why are you still insisting on this...I already told you I'm not ready. Not until I know that you're ready to take another step"

"Beatrice I'm not ready for that either"

"Neither am I!" I almost yell "just like I understand you, you understand me" He stands up and straightens his shirt.

"Then I guess if you're not ready for sex. You're not ready for marriage." I cross my arms. Feeling the cool breeze from the window. He has said mean things to me before. For example Stiff. I'm the stiff in erudite. Only because I couldn't dance back then.

Drew was the only one who helped me fit in and that's how we came to be. I just cannot tolerate what he just said to me.

"Sometimes I doubt if you actually love me or if you just want me for the way I look" he picks up his jacket. Which I have no idea when he'd taken that off. He places it on.

"Well let me make it easier for you...if you had said yes to me right there" he points to the bed "you wouldn't even know" he smirks "you wouldn't be the first"

"Of course I wouldn't. You think I don't know your little ass" he laughs.

"I've been seeing this girl for over what? Like a year now? And by the way I see you now" he eyes me up and down "there really is no competition"

I swallow something sower. I grab the door handle and open the door.

"I want you out" he doesn't move "now!" I yell. He moves towards the door and stops in front of me

"Bye Beatrice...I would just watch out you know. I'll see you around" he leans in and I push him out and quickly lock my door.

I hear his laughter. I run towards the window and shut it making sure he doesn't get in. I pull the blinds closed and go to bed. I glancr up at the ceiling. I don't even feel like crying. I feel relieved. I feel free. But why? I know exactly what I'm going to do.

I walk over to my laptop and turn it on. I enter Divergent theory into Google. I once heard of this while sneaking into the house. Eric had come over and he was conversing with my brother.

He mentioned a divergent theory...they say that the first to ever claim they are divergent get another opportunity. Maybe it's true. The hard part is...if I want to be the first and if I am the first. Who will want me in their faction?

Tris is Divergent! Let me know what you think. Comment and vote. And yeah Drew is such a Jerk. Any ideas as to who he cheated with? Love you all initiates.
