I wake up Sunday morning with a huge headache. I rub my eyes groggily and look around to see I am in an unfamiliar place. I stand up quickly but get dizzy and have to sit back down.

"You ok?" A voice says behind me and I spin around quickly.

"Four? Where the hell am I?" I say backing up trying to hide the fear obvious in my voice.

He steps toward me. "Sorry... I...um... After last night you went running out so upset that I went after you but you were damn faster than I expected" he sits down on the couch where I had just been sleeping. "I found you sleeping on the sidewalk with no phone or anything so I brought you back to my place." He gestures around. I knew right away that's this was a dauntless apartment.

"C-can I use your phone please?" I say still unsure of what to make of the situation. Four shows me over to it and I immediately call Christina "Christina?" Christina basically starts crying when I tell her I'm ok. She calms down and I hang up. I notice Four has disappeared. There are only 3 rooms on the apartment: the kitchen/ living (in which I had been sleeping on the couch), Fours bedroom, and the bathroom. I walk into his room. I hear the shower running and see on the bed some clothes with a note saying 'TRIS' so I pull off the dress and pull the pants on. They were huge. I had to pull the waistband super tight and cuff the bottoms. While doing this, I didn't even notice the shower stop. I hear the door to the bathroom open and I pull the top up to my chest and turn around.

"Don't you knock??" I yell at him, blushing. He laughs slightly.

"This is my house, remember?" I stare at him like, um are you just going to stand there while I'm half naked? And he turns around and shuts his eyes. I throw the shirt over my head and tell him I'm done. He walks past me and whispers to himself "pfft. Abnegation."

"Seriously? You are the one who beat up some kid, called me a slut then basically kidnapped me!!" He turns around, shocked. "I'm leaving." I say angrily.

"Are we really playing this game again? Where you go running off then I have to chase you? Why can't you just understand?" He grips his hair and walks into the living room. He looks back at me "I just don't get you..."

"You think I get you? I have no CLUE why you punched that guy. I have no CLUE why you took me here!" My voice softens "and worse of all... I have no clue why I stayed... I could have left right away... But I didn't."

"Tris. I need to tell you something." He says stepping towards me until we are so closed are chests are almost touching. "I really, really li-" he gets cut off by the doorbell. Christina. She said she would pick me up. Four doesn't even break eye contact as he yells "coming" but Christina must have heard "come in" becuase the door swings open and she looks taken aback.

"Am I.... Interrupting something?" She says, trying to hide a smile.

"I'll... Uh... See ya later Four" I move around him and he doesn't move but only drops his head and mumbles "yeah. See ya later" as soon as the door shuts Christina starts squealing.

"Um. What was that Beatrice Prior???" I hate when she calls me by my full name so I decide to poke back playfully with "nothing Chrissy" dragging it out. She sees what I did there and laughs.

"You and the unattainable Four? When did this happen" she says equally as excited as before. I nonchalantly tell her the story and when she freaks out at the end I smile and laugh. "He TOTALLY likes you!" Again she squeals. We finally reach my house and I jump out of the car and wave goodbye. "See ya tomorrow!" She says and winks.
