Tris POV:

My vision becomes clear.I can't remeber anything that has happened to me. I am kneeling. I am still at the Divergent Ward. But not in my room. I am in the lobby. What happened to me? My head is pounding. I look down. I am wearing the same red shirt, skinny jeans, black hoodie, and combat boots. There is a bloody knife in my hand. I see a dead body. I look at the face. A random guy. I killed him. I start screaming. Loud. Being heard everywhere. Security guards walk in and strap me down. The nurses put a pill in my mouth. I spit it out and scream. I think, Why can't I remember killing him?  I cry and scream. They inject me with a serum. I dirft off.
--------------------------------

I wake up. I am in my room at the Ward. I sit and stare out the window. I repeat the words I said last night through my head. I am worse that a psychopath. 

I am a sociopath. I am a sociopath. I am a sociopath. I am a sociopath. I killed someone. Did I fake my emotions as well? Did I pretend to love? To be happy? To be sad? To feel loved? To be believed? To be accepted? Did I only think about myself? Did I constantly tell lies? Who am I? I am who? Who is Tris Prior? Tris Prior is a sociopath. A sociopath who killed an innocent man. I did what I feared the most. I am a murderer. I am truly alone. Forever. Now all my friends see me as a girl who needs pity, like I need help. No one will ever look at me the same. 

A nurse walks in and I make conversation with her.

"Hi. I'm sociopath." I say smiling.
"Hi Sociapath. I am Caren."  
I laugh at her humor.
"I like that. Yea. Call me, Socio. It might be nice having an intimidating name."
She smiles and hands me some pills. I put them in my mouth and drink my water. 
"Hmmm. Sweetie. I don't think you are a water type of girl. How about Sprite?" She asks me smiling. I return it.
"That would be lovely."
"Sprite and a sandwich with ice cream."
"That sounds awesome."
"See? You are not sociopathic, Socio." 
I smile.
"See you in a couple of hours, Socio." She says and leaves.
I think I just made a funny friend in crazy jail.

I hear a knock on the door.

"Socio's room. How can I help you?" I say smiling.
"Can we come in?"
"Why what if I try to kill you?"
"Tris..."
"Socio! And come in."
It's my friends. I guess.
"Hi Tris." Marlene says.
"Socio."
"Intimidating." Peter says smirking a little.
"So what brings you to the killer's room?" I ask.
"You didn't kill anyone, Tris. There are some possiblities." Marlene says.
"Oh so I had a bloody knife in my hand, and there was a dead guy who just so happened to be in the same room I had been in with the knife." I say irritated and annoyed.
"Okay so there might not be possiblities." 
"Tris you are not a killer." Will says.
"You're right. I'm not a killer. I am a sociopath." I say.
"We can help you."
I start laughing.
"Do you hear yourselves? You are trying to help a fucking killer! No scratch that. A fucking sociopath." I say.

"Tris--"
"No Will. I can't live with myself anymore. I am a killer. I am in the same clothes that I murdered him in. What if I lose control on you guys? I love you guys too much. I don't want to hurt you guys."
"Tris. Please. We can help you." Christina says.
I start sobbing.
"I am a killer. I am a murderer. I killed an innocent man. I don't know when. But I did it. I am physically and mentally unstable now." I say.
I look at Tobias. He has tears streaming down his face. He looks at me. I start sobbing even more. 
"Tris. Please. We can help you. Don't do this. There might be a chance." He says with his voice cracking. He comes closer to sit next to me. 
"Tobias. I love you. I love you too much. I don't want to hurt you." I whisper and he kisses me. We kiss for moments upon moments. I pull back and stroke his cheek with my thumb.
"Maybe. When this whole thing blows over we can go back to normal dating." I say.
"You really think that would be normal?"
"Eh. Sure. Maybe." I say and we laugh.
"Take care of the girls for me."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I love you three."
"I love you Four."
"I love you Six."
"Hey what happened to five?" I ask.
"It always gets in the way." 

I smile and they all hug me.
"Bye Tris." They say as they leave my room 

"Socio." I say smiling once they close my door.
