Stuck in the Middle (sequel to fearless leader)

Broken

"Eric" I walked up to him but he spun round and pointed a gun at my head I feared the rage that danced in his eyes but looked at him emotionless fearless...

"This is what you wanted...for your brother and Tris to get away...YOU HAVE BEEN HELPING THEM THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME JUST ADMIT IT" he jabbed the gun at my head I remained silent and emotionless "nothing to say for once" I hear the safety click my hands start to tremble but I pushed the fear away I stared at him

"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT I WOULDN'T BE MARRYING YOU IF I WAS ON THEIR SIDE OH AND TALKING ABOUT THAT HERE BECAUSE A MARRIAGE IS BASED ON TRUST AND OBVIOUSLY YOU DONT TRUST ME ENOUGH BECAUSE YOUVE HAD YOUR HEAD TO FAR UP JEANINE'S BACKSIDE WHY DINT YOU MARRY HER INSTEAD BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY TRUST AND RESPECT HER MORE THAN ME" I pull my engagement ring off and throw it at him I turn on my heel and walk off I walk right back to the trucks and drive off towards dauntless I mean sure Eric was right on some level I had spoken to Four but I had not helped them in any way I arrived at dauntless and walked to my apartment I kicked off my boots and laid on the couch letting sleep take over.

ERIC POV

She chucked the engagement ring at me just then I snapped out of my blind rage realising what I was doing she walked away from me I wanted to shout after her beg her to forgive me but my body wouldn't let me I dropped to my knees I heard an engine start I knew she had taken one of the trucks she had left me I fumbled with her ring I felt my heart break in two it felt like someone was stabbing me repeatedly I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked to see Max "I'm sure she will calm down she always does" he tried to reassure me but it just made me angrier

"I POINTED A GUN AT HER FUCKING HEAD SHE THOUGHT I WAS GONNA KILL HER SO NO MAX SHE ISN'T" he shakes his head in response

"That girl is strong and I know for a fact she loves you to the point she would give her life for you, your the only one who doesn't see the way she looks at you with love and trust I may not know a lot about true love but if I ever saw it its you two" I looked at him he was right but what was I supposed to do

"I know but what am I supposed to do after I point a gun at her head" I voice my thoughts Max nods thinking

"Go after her and explain what happened" I nod and stand I take the train back to dauntless i walk to our apartment hoping she will be there I walk in as quietly as possible I look over and see her asleep on the couch I love watching her sleep she looks so peaceful I grab a blanket from our room and put it over her lingering for a minute taking in her beauty I walk to the kitchen and warm se food up I eat watching her like she might die any second just as I finish eating she wakes up and looks around looking at the blanket with a confused face until she sees me

"Don't flip out please just let me explain" I say sitting on the edge of the couch

"Explain what Eric how you threatened to kill me" it stung to hear her say it

"I was angry I had to take it out on someone" I explained

"Eric you always take your anger out on me I'm sick of it I feel like a human punching bag" she was right I always vented my anger out on her not because I wanted to but because she could always calm me she always knew a solution

"I know and I don't mean to its just me I wish I didn't...what I'm trying to say is I love you and I hate arguing with you but I can't help it because you always help me more than anyone ever has" I look up at her "will you forgive me" I plead she gives me sad eyes I know her answer

"I'm sorry Eric it's gonna take time for me to get over the fact you were going to kill me so I think it's best if we take a break I'll move back to my apartment maybe some time apart will do us good" my heart just broke into ting pieces she was actually leaving me I know she said a break but I saw in her eyes that she was implying we split

"No please I need you I can't go on without you" I pleaded I was almost begging she just shook her head and went into our room to get her stuff while I sat on the couch heartbroken and lost.
