<Tobias' POV>

I am pulled out of sleep by screaming and loud booming. With wide eyes I see Lynn and Caleb sprinting into the room, yelling for everyone to wake up. In the distance I see bombs exploding, causing raging fires and collapsing buildings. Reaching down I pull Tris out of her peaceful sleep and help her up. "What? What's going on?" She asks nervous.

"Bombs, we have to go," I insist. We quickly gather our things and sprint outside. Looking at where the bombs are landing I see they are about where everyone was staying. We all start sprinting towards the building where my friends stayed when they thought I was dead. My legs move as fast as ever and my hand clutches Tris'. Looking around I see Lynn and Caleb side by side. I check for my best friend and find him running with Shauna. Marlene and Uriah are moving quickly together towards the institute of sorts. Peter is moving as fast as he can behind us. Next to me, Tris looks out of breath and startled. I squeeze her hand in reassurance.

As we approach the building that holds the rest of our friends a loud bang sounds off, followed by many sounds similar to it. Screams erupt from inside the building and also from the rest of us. The building becomes engulfed in flames and the the impact of the bomb throws the nine of us through the air. My hand slips from Tris and I panic as I slam into the hard ground.

My ears ring as I struggle to stand. With my knees wobbling I make a final attempt to make it onto my feet. Running a hand over my forehead I feel wet, sticky blood. Blinking slowly, I try to make sense of what is going on.

Looking around in a daze I see Peter unconscious on the ground. One of his ears has blood streaming out of it. Next I see Marlene pushing herself off of Uriah where she must have landed when the bomb blew us all back. Cristina and Will help each other off of the hot pavement. Tris struggles to stand a few feet away from me. I stumble over to her and hold out my hand. She takes it gratefully and she lets me help her stand.

From a few feet away I hear a high pitched scream. I turn my head and see Lynn sprinting towards the building, screaming a single name. Hector. Shauna and Lynn's little brother Hector was in that building when it was bombed. I see Shauna standing frozen in shock, staring at the building in horror, tears streaming silently down her face. Looking back to Lynn, I watch her struggle to make it to the burning building as Caleb grasps her waist, holding her back. He falls to the ground with her weight on top of him. Desperately Lynn cries out and screams.

My head injury must be worse then I thought because I hit the ground with the memory of Lynn's cries still ringing in my ears.
__________________________

By the time I wake up, I see I have been pulled back inside the building we had been staying in. Since the institute has been blown up, this is the only place we have to go. I think about everyone in that building when it blew. Tori, the people I trained with, and Hector, poor little Hector. He never got a chance to choose what he wanted to do with his life. Never had a first love or a first kiss. He will never get married or have kids. He died never knowing real kindness or peace.

I open my eyes slowly, my head pounding. Looking around I see everyone is asleep. Tris is right next to me, tears staining her face as she sleeps restlessly. I pull myself into a sitting position. Across the room, I see Caleb is awake, just staring at Lynn. He notices I am also awake. I slip away from Tris and walk to Caleb, sitting next to him casually. "I don't believe we were properly introduced, I'm Tobias, please just call me Four, I'm madly in love with your sister and she really needs you since your parents are dead," I tell him not wasting any time. Caleb smiles sadly.

"I'm Caleb and if you ever hurt her I'll kill you, I hope we can be friends after this whole war," Caleb admits. I nod my head slowly.

"Me too kid, me too."

A/N Hi everybody. I actually forgot about this story, I'll be completely honest. I feel as if the Divergent fandom has really died out and I'm really sad about it. I just reread the first book and it made me miss this. I actually cried for awhile because this was one of the four fandoms that pulled me deeper into the life of s fangirl. This, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and TFIOS introduced me into the new world of book lovers and the fact that one of those fandoms left my life made me sad. So here I am, taking this book off hold. I really want to get this story going again so for the first time ever, I'm need you guys I constantly comment and message me telling me to get my ass moving on this fic, cause I've got some good stuff in store that you should be excited about. Please please please push me to keep writing this. Yell at me, or be civil, I don't mind. Forever yours
