The Guilt

Tris's P.O.V

I follow Tobias into the room where Will is resting. When I walk over to Will his big green eyes widen in fear.

"Don't hurt me! Please!" he whimpers.

"Will... I..," I stammer. "I didn't mean to..." Tears roll down my cheeks. I shot him and I'm making excuses. A sob breaks from my chest. "I'm so sorry!" I shake with sobs. My stomach hurts from the guilt and feels like a weight is pushing down on it. I can hardly breath.

"Why did I come here?" I ask myself.

Tobias's P.O.V

I don't know what's happening. Tris wouldn't hurt Will. This doesn't make sense.

"Tris?" I say gently putting my hand on her back.

"Don't touch me!" She sobs. "I nearly killed one of my friends!"

I look at her tear stained face, "Tris..."

She breaks free free of my gaze, turns, and runs to the door throwing it opened and running out.

I leave Will and follow Tris. I see her crumple to the ground against the wall. I walk over to her and she looks up at me with her gray blue eyes and says, "Leave me alone!"

"Tris, tell me what happened." I say, strictly.

"No!" Tris sobs. "Go away! You'll only yell at me!"

"No. I won't yell at you. I promise," I say, gently, because I know that's what she needs right now.

Tris buries her face in her hands and sobs harder. I walk over and slide down the wall till I'm sitting next to her.

"Hey, look at me. You didn't mean to," I tell her.

"I found a way not to shoot you. I should've done what I did with Will. But I didn't. Because I'm stupid and selfish and inconsiderate!" Tris sobs.

"No your not, Tris. We all make mistakes in life and we just have to be brave and strong and try our best to overcome them," I say. I'm proud of myself for saying this because I normally wouldn't.

"I don't know if he'll ever forgive me," Tris crys, finally meeting my eyes.

"I know he'll try," I say. "Just like you tried to forgive Al."

"Yeah. And now he's dead because I couldn't," Tris crys making me regret my last words.

"But you tried to forgive Al," I say.

"No I didn't," she sobs.

"I just know Will will try to forgive you," I say, rubbing her back.

"Maybe he will," she says.

I reach over and wipe her tear with my finger, "Let's go back to my room."

"Ok," she barely whispers.
