15. Just As Bad.

I normally update once a week. But I literally love this so much, and Eric 😏😉 so it seems I've been updating once a day 😂 that means most of my other stories are probably going to be late on being updated. Check out my new Jai Courtney fic I posted today, please. I'll love you forever. 💗

Eric's words swam around my mind like a gold fish swims round it's tank. It was ongoing. Will he hurt me? Or will he not? All I know is, I'm willing to take the chance. Although I remember that I loved Jack, I don't any more. I may have then, even if it was a couple of weeks ago, I don't feel the same. None of it means anything to me, not like Eric does. They're just memories, I know that I loved Jack but I don't feel like I loved Jack. I'm thinking about right here, right now. And Eric is right now. I wish Jack would go away, I wish he had never turned up. And what about this mission? How am I supposed to complete it if I don't know what a divergent is? All I want to know is how Eric know's I can't stop this war. How he knows its already begun. He definitey knows something I don't.

I was waiting in line for my second test in stage two. Apparently the point of this is to control our emotions, so when we're faced with our worst fears we are calm and rational in the future. But it's not that easy.

"Sam." Four called me in, I passed the other initiates, avoiding their stares. I haven't spoken to Tris or Christina in days and it's been incredibly awkward. I stepped into the room, closing the door behind me. I noticed Eric was already in here, leaning against a table, his usual cold and hard look plastered onto his face. "Did you have a good birthday yesterday?" Four asked.

"Uh yeah, it was good thanks. I missed the chocolate cake though due to falling asleep." I sighed. Eric stood up.

"That will be all Four." Eric stated, he seemed quick to shoo him away. Four left without saying a word, but with a roll of his eyes. Once Four was out of the room and I was seated Eric came closer.

"Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday yesterday?" He asked. Making me shrug.

"I didn't want anyone to know. Candy found out though and gave me this to-" I pointed to my necklace but quickly cut me off before I told him about what she said, "She gave me this."

"It's nice, looks old though." he said as he investigated it, his large fingers picking it up making me shiver as his fingertips ever so slightly touched my skin. "Anyway, you ready?"

I nodded as he lifted the gun with the needle and the green liquid. He moved closer to my neck, this time, he was more gentle when he noticed me flinching before he was even near me.

"You're going to do just fine. Remember, steady your breathing and be brave." He said as he pushed it in gently, i let out a deep breath as he pulled it out, his large hand caressed my cheek and I closed my eyes.

"You'll be just fine." He repeated. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't with Eric any more. I was standing outside the door of his apartment. I looked around, wondering what I was doing here.

I was about to knock when I stopped dead in my tracks. Moans were heard from inside his room. Loud moans and they weren't just his. Without thinking I reached out for the door handle. It wasn't locked, I knew once I pulled it down and swung the door open. Doesn't he ever lock his door? I gasped at the sight. He was in bed with another woman.

"Oh my god," I breathed, as I girl he was shagging looked up and let out a scream. Eric looked over at me as I stood there, my eyes wide with shock. I was frozen on the spot. I felt like my heart had shattered into a million pieces. My body began to shake as my vision began go blurry. No. No, he doesn't deserve my tears. Eric scrambled out of the bed, he pulled on his boxers and rushed over to me.
