Tris POV

Stage three results came out today. Pretty much the same. But it wasn' tall that fun. Like the celebration for the initiates was normal. I talked more with Christina. Four and I have just been rather busy lately with our own preoccupations. He still has the last bit training and I tattoos. So we definitely have talked much less recently. And its been going on for a while. I only helped with Stage 1, and ever since none of us have bothered to talk much other than yesterday and mere heys. First rather mutual drift.

I sit down and check out the banquet celebration food. There's a bit of alcohol on the table too. Wonder who's gonna get drunk and get in trouble tonight.

Anyways the night passes fairly quick, I leave a couple ten minutes early and start back towards my room.

"Tris!" A heavy voice calls.

I turn around, Tobias walks towards me swaying a bit. He's definitely a bit drunk.

"Have a drink." He offers and laces his fingers in mine, "We haven't talked in a while huh?"

"Yeah..." I sip the drink. It's alcohol. Strong alcohol. I feel a bit woozy even as it trickles down my throat.

"Come on let's go to my room." He leads me a bit harshly. I find myself swaying a bit too. After a mini gulp of I guess you call "Dauntless alcohol"

We sit on his bed, cuddling. "Cheers to your first trainer year." he raises his cup and I follow too. I lose track we drink maybe another cup each. I'm subconscious of what's going on, but we cuddle on his bed. He presses me against his toned body. I breathe deeply.

"Do you still want me?" He whispers sort of serious.

"I-" I stutter as the alcohol flows through my blood.

"You don't?" He looks, "You still scared?" He uses a rather challenging tone.

"No I'm not, I do want you." I smile subconsciously.

"Ok good." He kisses me, but much more sloppy than the norm.

Authors note- im not going to go into sex details ok:)

The next day

I wake up on my bed. I sort of remember what happened. It's very vague. Did I sleep with Tobias. And have sex with him? The memory is blurry. It's probably all a dream, just forget about it Tris. I mentally pinch myself.

I get up and walk to breakfast. As I sit down, a firm hand grabs me. I turn around and see Tobias hard eyes?

He drags me out. "What do you think you were doing?"

"What?" I ask.

"I woke up and you were sleeping shirtless on my bed." He crossed his arms, "Care to explain?"

"Before I do, what do you remember from last night?"

"I finished dinner and went to bed." He says

Shit he doesn't remember

"I had a bit of alcohol and you did too, and then I don't remember how I ended up on your bed." I half lie. I mean I sorta have image memories but their barely there. Perks of using Dauntless alcohol to horse around and forget short term memories.

"Are you kidding me?" He says disgusted. "I thought you were scared of intimacy."

"I am." I lie again. I don't really know no... They come so naturally

"Apparently not you're lying. We haven't talked much in like 2 weeks and then you decide to sleep on my bed with me shirtless? What's with your extreme mood swing Tris? And plus alcohol doesn't have memory serum in it..." He says halfheartedly.

"What's with your angry attitude?" I ask back mellowly. "Do you still even trust anything I say?"

There it is again. Our main touchy topic-trust.

"I don't know." He says after a while quietly and walks away.

This isn't turning up. And who knows what happened yesterday. Freakin alcohol I hate you. But it isn't all my fault or Tobias or the alcohol. Situations just built up... And I'm not sure how long this will take to fix now...

LINEBREAK

2 Months later

Tobias and I haven't talked like at all. And situations are escalating downwards quickly.

First Jeanine is back...

Second, Tobias and I haven't talked much and neither have many others in general since I'm already a quiet person, but it's like me and Christina are still on normal terms

Third, I'm pregnant.

Caleb called me to come to Erudite today too. Before I knew of the Jeanine news.

"Hey." I say and we meet in his office in Erudite headquarters.

"So I have some good and bad news." He says

"Lets hear good first." I smile small.

"Ok well our faction has developed the technology to resurrect bodies with manufactured bodies and DNA codes." He says

"That's very brilliant. But dangerous..." I say after a while.

"Yes." He says, "So someone from our faction decided to betray and brought Jeanine and Eric back." He says quietly.

Well wait to to make the worst nightmare come true.

"Er how do you know for sure?"

"Because one of our systems got hijacked and I accessed the search history and it showed Jeanine and Eric's DNA along with 2 missing manufactured bodies."

"Okay, so what have you dome and what do you need me to do?" I ask warily

"I backed up the files and changed the password. Only I know it now in addition to Cara. But since we don't have much security I thought in case one or both of us die eventually during whatever attack Jeanine launches I want you to know too. And you need to inform all of Dauntless to patrol more seriously." He draws out a piece of paper from his pocket

"This isn't good Caleb." Is all I manage to whisper out, and I gently take the paper

"I know I've started organizing another evacuation site, underground. I will shut down all our systems soon."

Oh dear

I really hope everything turns out okay now.

"Gook luck Caleb." I stand.

"You too Beatrice. You too. Telling Four will probably pass the news quick isn't he a leader." He gives me a hug as I head out.

"Ok sure."

Well wonder how things will end up now. Especially since Tobias doesn't beliebe anything I say more over something as bizarre as this.

I jump the train and head back.
