The betrayal (A Divergent: Allegiant Fanfiction)

Part Four

It's a quiet drive to Candor Headquarters. I look out the window to see so much has changed. Little alleys all trashed up, pollution rising up from street fires people have made to stay warm. After I left, a lot changed. And I guess, that meant losing a place to live for people.

I had gotten information that Evelyn does not know about the terrorists. They had gotten in Chicago due to some close ties, with important people. But after I'm done, it won't matter that she didn't know.

We start to slow down a bit, and I look at Cara. She leans over, her eyes glassy, to embrace me. I fight the urge to cry. I can't do it now, not here. I can mourn when I'm alone. I lean over, and embrace Cara, as her support, because now, I feel her tears. She's finally let go. She has been strong for too long.

My own tears are fighting their way out, but I am able to block most of them out. I gently pull back, say my last farewell. As I'm getting out, I hear Cara from behind me. "Tris! Be safe." I nod, and continue to Candor headquarters on foot.

I couldn't have been dropped off right at the main entrance, or my cover would have been blown. As I'm approaching, I see a guard, and use my sleeve to wipe my cheeks clear of any tears that had decided not to leave. When I get to the guard, I raise my arms, so I don't appear as a threat.

I may need to hand over my weapons, but not my whole bag, because it only contains clothes. The guard looks me straight in the eye, and recognizes me immediately. He looks like he used to be one of Evelyn's lackeys. Must have escaped after helping these assassins get in Chicago. He lets me in almost immediately, without bothering to even check to see if I have any weapons. He smiles as I inch towards the door. "Nita and Tobias will be happy to see you." he says. Nita and Tobias? What, are they a thing now? And why would they be happy to see me? I don't understand, Nita must surely have something planned.

I cautiously enter the building, only to encounter Nita, with her arm around a male. Tobias. I may be mad at him, and I may have let him go, but I still don't like it when another girl is close to him. I should've known that she would take advantage of Tobias like that. She always had a thing for him.

I look at Tobias, and his sad, sympathetic eyes focus on me. He's mouthing the word 'help'. I turn to Nita and give her a dirty look. "Get your arm off him." I say. Nita turns to Tobias, and kisses him on the cheek, then looks at me, a nasty grin spreading wide on her face. Tobias pushes away from her, and looks down at his shoes in shame. Nita speaks up. "Oh, I'm sorry. But it's just that I didn't abandon him like you did."

A bubble of anger pops inside me. Next thing I know, I'm beating the crap out of Nita's cheating little ass. I feel hands at my waist pull my away from Nita, before I can finish completely re-arranging her face. I've left her nose bleeding, her eyes shut from pain, her mouth bleeding to, and her stomach being gripped by her sore hands.

Tobias slowly pulls me up to him, and holds me in a tight embrace, letting me feel his warmth, and his heavy, synchronized breaths against my neck. He brings his lips to my ear, and says, "I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I'm sorry I left you all alone to face life, even though I was your only family. I-I'm sorry." He's apologizing, but I don't know what to do.

He hasn't said anything about Nita's kiss. I go with it, wrapping my arms around his neck. I can't fall for him now, I have to do what I came here for.
