"That was pitiful aim." I say coldly from where I lean against the wall.
"Guess who's back?" Someone exclaims and attacks me almost sending me to the ground.
"Amaryllis?" I ask and look up. "You're back?"
"Of course I am! How long you think I could actually stay away from you?" The initiates look toward us.
"Focus! It would be different if you could actually throw." I scold and they turn back.
"Sorry Two." One apologizes.
"Two? Wow that's nice." Amaryllis says and slides down beside of me.
"They can't know my name you know." I shrug. "Who all came back with you Amaryllis?"
"Jacksons back too. And..."
"You're kidding me." I sigh. "He's back isn't he."
"Yep."
"I can take the initiates if you want."
"Nah. I'll avoid him as long as possible. I'm still healing. And he can't be here for that." I sigh. "Tomorrow they start the second stage. I don't want to watch people go through that."
"I know those suck." Amaryllis shakes her head. "And the worst part is the transfers are clueless."
"I know." I sigh. "Lunch is in a few minutes. I'll eat with you guys if I can stay away from Noah like that."
•••
"Hey guys." I say and sit beside of amaryllis. "Hey Jackson." I say and smile.
"Have you talked to Noah yet?" Jackson asks.
"Haven't got the guts. Avoiding him for as long as possible." I say and grimace. "That's low isn't it." Then Jackson nods slightly.
"But it is okay cause you've got dauntless cake." Jackson points out.
"Cheers to dauntless cake." I say and put a fork full up in the air with crumbs dropping off.

Amaryllis POV
"Could you not sleep? Still the nightmares?" Jackson asks and comes out into our own apartment in dauntless.
"No, it's just I don't want to try cause I'm afraid I'll only be disappointed." I close my eyes and tap my fingers in an unrhythmic tune.
"You have to try." Jackson says and sits beside of me.
"Why don't you go you seem frustrated." I say bluntly without even opening my eyes.
"Of course I'm frustrated cause you are making eveything harder than it has to be." Jackson sighs.
"I have to wait till I'm ready, Jackson!" I say frustrated now with my eyes open. "Leave me alone."
I expect him to actually leave but who actually leaves? Instead he just scoots closer to me so our sides were now touching.
"Sorry." He whispers.
"I'll try and sleep. Just leave me alone." I close my eyes but it isn't in a relaxing way, just a concentrating way.
"I'll wait here. Make sure you don't wake up scared." He says and takes my hand. I almost pull away but instead I sigh and open my eyes.
"Wake me up if I do anything." I tell him and close my eyes.
•••
"It's so pretty." I laugh with a few tears. I wore a beautiful beach dress for a perfect beach occasion.
"You loon beautiful." Jackson smiles from ahead of me.
"Why would you even do this we just went back to dauntless?" I ask confused.
"Cause you deserve a break from everything." He shrugs and leads me to the living room of the beach house where white walls frame us and a light birch wood covers the area of the floor. I look behind me for a moment and then when I look back Jackson is on one knee. "Amaryllis." He starts slowly. "We were both transfers in dauntless and you were at the top of the list there and now you're on the top of my list. I don't see any better way of showing it to you than this. Will you marry me?" He asks.
I just stand there in shock but before my answer can be spoke a loud crash interrupts us and I look behind Jackson to the walls breaking down by a huge barrier of water. Screaming from me but I don't hear much noise from Jackson at all. Especially since we went under.
•••
"Amaryllis." Someone whispers and I jerk my head up.
"What?" I ask.
"You dreamt again?" Jackson asks and I nod. "Maybe next time, okay?"
"Whatever." I shrug.
"Come lay down with me." He says sand offers me his hand.
"I don't really-"
"Come on." He argues.
"Fine." I sigh and follow him into his room. It's a dark navy but it's the navy you don't see barely any blue in.
So we just lay there literally on top of the covers with my head barely on his shoulder and his hand intertwined with mine.
"Wanna try and sleep again?" He asks.
"No."
"Anaryllis-"
"No Jackson."
