Chapter 1

"Tobias Eaton if you do not stop making those weird noises when massaging my feet I swear to God I will get up and leave this apartment faster than you healed from your wounds." I say.

"But the noises are suppose to help you relax!" He pouts.

"Well clearly it's not. Stop it."

"Fine fine fine." He says letting go of my feet.

"I said stop making those noises; I never said stop massaging my feet." I joke.

He looks up at me with this big grin on his face and just stares at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.

"Because you're beautiful." He answers.

A smile spreads across my face as I feel my cheeks intensely heat up. Why am I so lucky to have such an amazing person like Four? What have I done to deserve him?

"I love you, you know that?" I ask.

"I love you too." He replies.

As we walk over to our cafeteria with Uriah and Christina, we spot Marlene sitting at our usual table. We give each other confused looks.

"So why are you here?" Christina asks, hovering over Marlene.

She looks up at us with pleading eyes.

"Look, I know that I've done horrible things," she says.

"Like tricking Tris into thinking I liked you?" Four asks.

"Like making me almost lose my best friend?" Christina asks.

"Like almost killing me?" I ask.

"Like helping my brother plot some type of evil revenge leading Tris to gain an eating disorder and a mental illness  that took her six months to recover from and being an indirect cause as to why Four was shot and spent two months in the hospital?" Uriah asks.

"Yeah and I know that and I wanted to make a truce." She says.

"Why would we do that?" I ask.

"Because I have nobody. You guys don't understand. I might have liked Four a little bit," she says, causing Four to scoff, "but I loved Ezekiel."

"But didn't you say you did this for Four when you were apologizing to us on Facebook?" Uriah asks.

"I felt like I still needed to protect Zeke, for some weird reason. I felt ashamed for even falling in love with a sociopath like him. I'm sorry I lied." She says.

"Continue." Four says.

By now, each and every one of us are sitting at the table, listening to everything she's saying.

"He told me that he needed my help. He wanted to get rid of both you and Four because you guys were holding something that was keeping Zeke and I from being together," she continues "So I primitively followed his lead. I was like his little puppet. I killed when he wanted me to, I lied when he wanted me to, I even lost my best friend. But it all turns out that he was a dirty liar. He used me to do all his dirty work so his hands could stay clean. This whole time, he had an agenda. He wanted you, Tris, not me, but you. when I snuck into you and Four's apartment, I checked where he told me you were hiding the information and it wasn't even there. Nothing was there. Then, that's when it hit me."

As she speaks, there are tears racing down her cheeks and she begins to sob uncontrollably . I instinctively move beside her and rub her shoulders while I wipe the tears off her face.

"Tris, your abnegation side is showing." Marlene softly smiles while her teeth chatters.

"Don't we all have one?" I ask, pulling her into a hug.

I looked over at Christina, Uriah and Four. Everyone but Four looked sympathetic. Four just had a blank stare on his face.

"So let me get this straight," Four begins, "Zeke used you, Marlene, to fulfill his agenda in trying to get Tris?"

"Yes. And as soon as I figured that out, I stopped working with him, I threatened to expose him but it was already too late. He tied me up with both Uriah and Jeanine. Uriah was the bait to get only Four to go up the the Erudite headquarters but when Tris came, I guess he was forced to take some drastic measures." She explains.

"There are still so many things that is unexplained." He says.

"I know and I'm willing to answer any questions you have." She replies.

"Okay, how about you explain this, why did I just receive a text message saying 'I'm back bitch' with a wink emoji thingy?" Christina asks.

As if on Qeu, everyone's phone at our table begins buzzing too.

"I got that message too." Uriah says.

"Same." Four says.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I quickly take it out, hoping it's just a text from Peter or Eric with one of their horrible videos. I can feel my heart racing and my breathing slowly getting louder. I look on my phone and see the words 'I'm back bitch ;)' written in big bold letters.  

We all look at Marlene but she's also looking at the screen of her phone, mortified. She reads what the message says.

"I'm back bitch, and I'm coming for you. ;D" she says as her voice cracks.
