Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 39

I climb out of the trap door. Uriah and Tobias are both back. They sit against the wall. A black corpse satchel lays at the opposite end of the wall.

Christina.

Keep it cool. 3 days left

Tobias spots me first. He reaches for his gun but stops and is speechless.

Uriah sees me too. I smirk and just walk casually past towards the trash can alley I stayed at before.

"Tris!" Tobias yells.

I keep walking. "Tris!" He yells louder.

I ignore him and keep walking still, see how desperate he is.

He grabs my arm. That firm grip... I glance back. That toned bicep.

"Let go of me." I whisper painfully.

"Tris." He whispers and loosens the grip. It almost brings down my walls and I tempt to fall into his arms, to inhale his detergent smell. To stare into his dark cool blue eyes. To feel his gentle lips. To be by his side forever. To be known together as Four and Six.

I glance past his shoulders, I can't look in his eyes. Tears are approaching my eyes, but I blink them back.

"What?" I whisper.

"Are you mad at me?" He says quietly.

"I could ask you the same thing." I choke out barely in another whisper.

"No I made a mistake. Tris I'm so sorry, I should've listened." He pulls me in slowly. I withdraw back.

"Yeah you should've. I'm cleaning up the entire mess." I glare in his eyes. My anger is back.

Sorry is all I get.

"What do you mean?" He stays gentle, but it makes me even more angry

"I told Caleb to go resurrect Christina. I haven't lied to you at all recently. I can't prove it since serums are weak on me. I'm not sure how you will ever trust me again, but now for the currently. Currently, Christina is being resurrected for Uriah. Currently I have been fighting this war with Caleb against this clone army of hundreds of Jeanine's and Eric's. Currently I am carrying your stupid drunk mistake almost three months ago when you blamed me for sleeping on your bed. You know what really happened?" I am crying now. Why is I always end up doing this shitty tear flow thing in front of him.

"Tris." He blinks his eyes, "I don't know. Call it all my fault. I'm so pathetic I'm sorry I don't know how to make it up to you." He grabs me tightly this time and keeps me against him. I can't yank away at all. My tears flow down his jacket.

"Long story short." I sniff, "You got drunk and took me to your room and we lived my fear on your pressurizing and then you blamed me for sleeping on your bed when I do that all the time and I took all the consequences, including the one where you broke up with me." I slip out and take off the ring that's still been on my finger. "It's been three months on my own and I can finish this without your help."

I take one more look at his face. It's filled with regret and sympathy. He looks like the broken Tobias.

"All because of the issues we had 3 years ago. Really?" I whisper out. I place the ring into his open hand, then wrap his fingers to close gently with my hand. "Maybe things just don't work out for us."

I turn around and walk towards the alley. He sprints up to me at the last second. I shake my head but he comes even faster. I shove him with my left hand but he grabs it. I throw a punch with my right but he blocks it then puts but my hands in a lock in one of his.

"Will you please let me leave in peace. I've heard and said enough for our cause." I say

"No." He says firmly

I look down at my feet, staring at the concrete.

"Tris." His voice is aching. "I didn't realize this I don't know what else to say but sorry."

I push him away. But he doesn't budge at all.

"No. I'm not done speaking to you. I never will be. I thought I could live without you but I can't. You're stronger and smarter than me. I don't want to really lose you again ever. Especially with your condition." He massages my belly. I jolt away a bit and try to get away, but he reacts quickly, and grabs me again

He's broken my walls 60% now. I say calmly, "Why and when did you suddenly start caring so much?"

"Since Christina's 'death' I realized everything. God I'm an idiot." He sighs and let's go of me.

"Yea you are." I yank out. "All you can say is sorry huh?"

"Yeah, but I have something else to say. You do not have to forgive me. You do not have to accept me back. I guess I never did get over when you first hurt me. But I am now. I promise."

"What? Are you happy you got your revenge on me?" I am angry again.

"No. It makes me a coward. I can't suck up the pain you give me. I can't take it like a man. Yet you can take pain like a warrior. You are so brave and Dauntless. I regret putting you through all of that so much Tris. I still love you. Even if you don't believe me or won't ever believe me again." A tear trickles down his cheek

I stay silent.

"Do you forgive me?" He caresses my cheek

"Just let me go first." I say

He sighs but obliges. I yank away

"As much as I detest your appearance right now, you better make this up." I sigh.

"I know, but hey are we back together now?" He asks softly and moves his head closer. I'm still against the wall too.

I sigh. "I honestly don't know."

"Will you give me one last final chance?"

"Will it even make a difference?" I roll my eyes.

"Yes because I want to make the most of our shattered infinity. I want this to last forever. Not like the limited infinity. But this is your call. Are we?" He closes his eyes

"I don't know are we?" I added a bit of sarcasm. I don't think he takes it that way.

"I enjoy seeing you more than you will ever know honestly."

We are inches apart. He gently wipes off my tears with his thumbs.

We meet awkward eye contact, and he whispers, "Because you just had to be the definition of perfection to me. It's like a drug you see, and I am so high on you"

That was such a pathetic and cheesy pick up line. Who knew Tobias had this cheesy charming side

"You sure why not yourself?" I smirk

"Because perfect people can live strong on their own while being pregnant and in a war for three months when their boyfriend makes the shittiest move and backstabs her and then forgives him again." He smiles.

"You have a way with your words." I grin. "I guess I'd be okay with giving this another shot."

He smiles and leans in even more

"May I kiss you?" He's mouths

"Go for it" I wink.

God it feels so freakin good just being with him.

We pull away to Uriah's clapping in the back.

"About time you guys got back." He nods approvingly.

"Thank you." Tobias whispers in my ear.

I smile at Uriah, "When Christina gets back we are gonna kick some serious ass."
