"Can we hurry this up please:" the officer, who I now as David says.

I came from the alley straight to the hospital. They brought Will in an ambulance. They wanted to try and save him, even though everyone knows it's impossible. Three bullets in the back. Three is enough to kill you. He was worried about one. That was my fault. I had to be handcuffed in the hospital, they're probably worried I'd attack the doctor or something.

"I know, just want to make sure it's cleaned." The doctor says and continues to wipe the bloody wound. He puts in 5 stitches and places a dressing over it. "Your lucky." He says to me "If it'd a less then an inch across. It could've gotten your heart." He starts to clean away his supplies. "Your lucky to be alive."

"Shame the rest of her life is going to be spent in a cell." David says and grabs my other arm ruffly.

"Please be careful with her. I don't want the stitches to break and the wound to open again." The doctor interjects. David just smiles  and pulls me out of the room.

I get dragged from the hospital. On the way out I see a dead faced Christina. She stares blankly at the floor.

Does she know Im the one who's been accused?

I should've pushed him away and told him to keep going and don't look back. I should've told him.

I look down. If I keep my head down, she won't notice me. I swallow the large lump they continues to grow in my throat. Head down. Head down. Head do-

"Tris!" My head snaps up. Like a bullet. I see Christina marching towards me, her tear stained cheeks shine in the bright hospital lighting. David stops and stares at Christina for a moment. I then see Zeke and Uriah come round the corner along with Marlene, Shauna and Lynn.

This cannot be happening. Zeke and Uriah have red eyes, Marlene and Shauna are crying, Lynn has red eyes and looks like she's trying to fight the tears back.

"You killed him! You bitch! You fucking killed him!" She yells at me through sobs. "I hope you burn in hell!"

"Chris, it was-" I stop when I see Tobias come round the corner. His eyes are slightly puffy, he runs his hands through his hair and massages his temples. "Chris, I didn't do this. I didn't kill him" I say "you know me, Chris. Why would I shoot my friend? I would never shoot Will."

David laughs and I feel his hand grip round my arm so tight I think my hands about to fall off.

"That's what they all say. Denial is the beginning of the end." He says. Tobias walks up next to Christina.

"Come on, Christina, you don't need this right now." He says and looks at me for a moment. Our eyes lock. I want to scream. I never pulled the trigger. But I'm the reason he's dead. Now that adds another person who has gotten hurt because of me.

Cody and Will. I've destroyed Christina and broken up the gang. Every thing I touch. Every person I touch seem to get hurt one way or another.

"Tobias, please. I. Didn't. Do. This." I feel tears prick in my eyes.

He doesn't answer.

"Come on, let's go." David says and pulls me away from them. I dig my heels in. I'm not going.

"Tobias!" I yell. People begin to look in our direction now. "I would never do anything like this! I would never shoot Will!" He stares at me like I'm a stranger. I pull against David. "Tobias, you know me! I would never do anything like this!" He shakes his head.

"I don't know who you are anymore, Tris."

My mouths swings open. I want to scream. Another cop walks up and actually has to help David take me out of the hospital. They push me into the cop care and slam the door.

I'm alone again. I've killed another person. Cody saved my life and so did Will. As soon as someone tries to help me they end up getting hurt or even worse. They die. I may not of pulled the trigger. But I'm the reason he's dead. So here I am back at square one. Christina hates me again, Tobias looks at me like I'm a stranger. Square one sucks.
