I groan as I feel someone shaking me.

"Lily get up." Ember whines. I kick her away.

"Fuck off." I grumble. She pulls my blankets off me.

"Biiiitch you did not just pull my covers off me." I say and rub my eyes. Suddenly I'm picked up.

"Training starts soon. You need to get ready." Peter says as he takes the clothes Ember picked for me. But I notice he left my shirt behind.

"Peter..." I begin.

"Shhh." He hushes me. We get to the bathroom and he sets me down on the counter by one of the sinks and starts getting changed. I stare at my lap as he takes his shirt and pants off.

"Um. I kinda sat you on our clothes." Peter says. I blush when he presses me to his chest to lift me off the counter. He stands me on my feet and I lean against the wall as he gets dressed.

"Alright. I'm ready." Peter says. I look at him and his hair is a mess. I roll my eyes and grab his brush. I begin fixing his hair.

"Oh. Right. Hehe." He laughs lightly. I smile and start getting changed. I take off my night shirt and pants before putting on my training pants. I notice he brought an extra one of his shirts. It's another black long sleeved shirt.

"You did this on purpose." I accuse. He grins.

"But I like when you wear my shirts." Peter whines. I roll my eyes.

"Why though?" I ask.

"Cause it's cute seeing you in a shirt that's too big on you." Peter replies. I blush and put on the shirt without arguing anymore.

"Guys! Training starts in ten minutes!" Ember calls to us. Peter grabs his brush and starts going through my hair.

"Alright we gotta run." Peter says and grabs my hand before dragging me out of the bathroom. Tris, Ember, and Christina giggle when they see me wearing another one of Peter's shirts.

"Your shirt smells like you." I say absent-mindedly. Peter looks at me.

"Well it is my shirt." Peter points out with a grin.

"Well its not a bad thing that it smells like you. I mean, not that I smell you all the time. No I mean..." I ramble. He rolls his eyes at me.

"Chill, Feisty. I get it. My natural sexy scent entices you." Peter says. I blush.

"Shut up." I mumble.

"Nope." Peter replies.

"You two act like this couple that's way too cute. Like really. It's gross." Ember says. I glare at her playfully.

"He's not my boyfriend." I protest.

"Tell that to your intertwined hands." Christina says with a grin. Tris giggles. I blush when I realize I'm still holding Peter's hand.

"Peeettteeerrr" I whine. He grins and keeps a tight hold on my hand.

"We're almost there. Three minutes to spare." Peter says as we enter the training room. I sigh and follow him over to the targets.

--Time Lapse To Scores--

1. Edward
2. Peter
3. Lily
4. Ember
5. Will

I lean against Peter as we look at the scores. I know I wouldn't be in the top five if it wasn't for Peter.

"Time for dinner." Four says. We all start heading towards the dining hall.

"Do you want cake?" Peter asks me.

"Yes please." I reply. He nods and goes to get us cake. I sit at a table with Tris, Ember, Christina, Will, and Al. Peter soon sits beside me and gives me my slice of cake.

"Eric said today was the last day of gun practice. I wonder what we're gonna do tomorrow." Will says.

"Who knows. That guy is crazy." Christina says.

"Eh. He's not that crazy. I mean he could be a lot worse." Ember says. I stare at her.

"Hey, Feisty." Peter says. I look at him.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"I'm gonna head to bed. I'll see you later. Probably tomorrow. So, night." Peter says and ruffles my hair.

"Okay. Night." I reply with a small smile. He leaves the dining hall.

"We're gonna hit the hay too." Christina tells me as she and Will stand up.

"Okie. Night Chrissie. Night Will." I say.

"Night Lily." They reply before leaving.

"I'm going to bed. Night." Al says and leaves. Well then.

"Us too." Tris says as she and Ember stand up. What, so everyone is ditching me? Soon enough it's just me eating cake alone. So depressing. I know. After about thirty or so minutes, Four walks over to me.

"Why don't you go to bed. You've had a long day." Four says with a kind look.

"Alright. Thanks. Goodnight Four." I yawn as I stand up.

"Goodnight Lily." Four replies. I make my way back to the dorm. I lay down in my bed and cuddle into Peter's shirt I'm wearing. And soon enough I fall asleep.

I walk into the training room to see Peter standing there with a gun pointed at him. Eric is the one pointing the gun at him. I go to scream for him to move. But my mouth gets filled with water as I fall into a tank. I bang on the glass as I begin to drown. Ember stands in front of me laughing like a maniac as she watches me.

I wake up panting. That wasn't very fun. I try to get back to sleep but I just can't. Christina and the others are on the complete other side of the room. But Peter's bed is just across from mine. I stand up and make my way over to him. I shake his shoulder and he groans lightly.

"Peter." I whisper. He stirs a bit.

"Peter wake up." I whisper as I continue to shake his shoulder gently. He blinks and looks at me.

"Lily? What time is it?" Peter asks tiredly as he rubs his eyes.

"I don't know. I couldn't get back to sleep and I can't see the end of the room where Ember is. So I figured I would just come to you." I whisper back.

"Why can't you sleep?" He asks and yawns.

"I had a bad dream." I reply.

"Oh. Well you can sleep here with me if you want." Peter says. I nod and climb in next to him.

"My god you're all sweaty. It must've been really bad." Peter whispers as he pulls me closer to him. I snuggle into his chest and close my eyes.

"It was." I reply before drifting off to sleep again.
