Convergent

Chapter 14

I woke up to the smell of coffee. I sat up and looked around forgetting where I was. I quickly realized I was in Tobias' and Tris' apartment. I must have fallen asleep here after all the events of yesterday. I saw Tris sitting in a chair reading a book and holding a mug filled with what I am assuming was coffee. Tobias loved to read, even though it wasn't very dauntless and in Abnegation it was selfish to read but our mom let us read books when Marcus was out of the house. Seeing Tris with a book, maybe it was also a divergent thing.

"Hey." I mumble and smile softly at her.

"Hey Lizzie." She sets her book down and quickly walks over to me.

"How do you feel?" she asks. I could only shrug

"I wish I could wake up from this nightmare. I hate feeling so weak and vulnerable, it's not very dauntless."

"You're not vulnerable. He took advantage of you. Violated you and probably violated some faction rules. He's a creep and always have been, he won't see you anymore. The other leaders are putting him under review. Your brother is in the control room where he works the rest of the year to find the incidences with you and Max. Tobias wants him out of Dauntless. You'll be okay now, you made it into the faction, and you have a lot of people supporting you. Like your friends, they're worried about you. Some other initiates I heard are concerned about you as well. This is the first time something like this has been made public. Also, don't worry about what's dauntless or not, just focus on trying to heal." She gave me a comforting hug. Oh great, I really don't want everyone coming up to me and asking me about Max. My mind jumped to my friends.

"Connor and Olivia, I need to talk to them. They're probably mad I ignored them this week." I stand up, needing to see them. Tris stood up and put a hand on my shoulder.

"I think they understand but I'll walk you back. since you're in, you'll be moving in here with Tobias and I. So tonight, come back here. I think Tobias wants to take you to the shops tomorrow to get you whatever furniture you would like for your room."

"Thank you guys so much." I stood up and gave her another hug as we walked out. we walked back to the initiates dorms.

"I'll let you go in there alone, if you need me, you know where I am." Tris gave me a warm smile and walked away. I turned my attention back to the door to the dorm. Inside everyone will surround me probably. Asking what happened, was it true, or did I use that as a way for people to feel sorry for me to get into dauntless. I wouldn't use that to my advantage. It was never a dream last week. I experienced that for the first time yesterday. I couldn't make it up. Slowly I reached for the door but it opened before I could get to it. Olivia jumped on me and gave me a huge hug.

"Oh Lizzie, I'm so sorry. I knew something was off about him. But I had no idea he would do that, I didn't think he was that vile. I understand now why you avoided me this week." I said nothing. I didn't know what to say other than;

"Thank you." Is all I could mumble out as I let go of her. "I need to find Connor and talk to him."

"You will, but let's head to the revealing. We need to see if we all get in. Then we can go celebrate tonight and get your mind off of Max." She smiled at me, grabbed my hand and dragged me to the room we all learned to fight.

The other six transfer initiates were there along with the ten people left from the dauntless born. As soon as Olivia and I walked in all conversation stopped and eyes went to us. I felt embarrassed. Everyone now knew me and knew what happened. I moved closer to Olivia, just wanting to hide. Olivia put her arms around me and just walked to the front. Connor ran out of nowhere over to my other side and put his arm around me.
