By the next morning I had gotten an apartment in the same building as Eric. It felt lonely and sad and I barely got a chance to get any of my stuff from Eric's, I mainly got every Ean needs. It felt different, free almost. I walked out of the apartment door and no one to scream at me to get back inside. It was time to see old friends. Uriah. I grab Ean and hold him close to me as I make my way to Uriah's.

When he opens the door he holds me, the guards wait outside Uriah's apartment as I walk in.

"I missed you," I say to him as I watch him play with Eans tiny hand.

"Eric let you out of your cage?" He leans back on the couch, I'm sitting next to him.

"Eric kicked me out." I admit to him.

"Why?"

"Peter and I kissed," I can't even look Uriah in the eyes when I say it.

"I don't understand. You like Peter?"

"No, no." I say defensive. "I hate Peter. Eric just can be a jerk and leave me when I need him the most and Peter was there..." I trail off. "It was a mistake."

Uriah doesn't say anything. "I think I ruined it."

"Ruined what?"

"My relationship with Eric. I don't think he'll ever trust me let alone ever forgive me again."

"Maybe he'll come around?"

I laugh. "Eric? Please, there's no changing his mind. He's out to rule the world, right now I'm the enemy."

"Eans living with you?"

"Not by choice. Eric's never held Ean, he's too afraid that he'll break him. He has no choice but to let me take care of him."

"He'll let you back into the apartment soon enough," Uriah puts a hand on my kneecap.

A week passes by and hadn't talked to Eric since he kicked me out. It feels weird not seeing him or being with him. It always feels lonely sleeping and lonely raising our son. He hasn't even come to visit us. I've been visiting Uriah a lot who is being optimistic about the Eric situation but I know he's just trying to make me feel better. Before I head out the door I overhear the guards talking.

"No he fucked her," the one guard says.

"So it's true?"

"Of course it's true, they were even kissing in the dining hall. She's his new play toy."

"But I mean come on, she'll do anyone that breathes."

The guards laugh. "Eric sure knows how to pick the easy ones."

My heart sinks to the bottom of my stomach.

I open the door and yell at the guard, "what were you saying?"

"Go back inside," they sigh.

"Who was he fucking?!" My fist clenched.

Before I knew it the guard had knocked me out. I wake up on the ground and frantically rush to the babies room. Ean is gone. I run passed a mirror my face is bruised and bloody. I have to get Ean back.

I ran around Dauntless looking for him going into everyone I can. I can't ask for help no one will help me.

"Eric's ex-whore," I hear people whispering as I walk by. I push them out of the way and run into the dining hall where I see Eric standing with some girl, they're laughing, smiling. My attention immediately shifts back to Ean. Eric is the least of my worries in this moment. I run down to the pit. I see Ean, I rush down the stairs and take him back in my embrace.
