*Four's POV*

I wake up it's 3 A.M and Tris is lying next to me. I hear her inhale long breaths of air. I look at her, and notice she changed a lot. Her hair was black with streaks of brown, She has dark circles around her eyes and her skin was a bit tanner. Her face is pale and her lips are soft pink. It seems as if I don't know her anymore. She looks exhausted and stressed, but she's still beautiful. My only regret is not being there with her, for giving up when I still can save her.

"I love you," I whisper in her ears

"I love you too," she mutters without opening her eyes.

She's awake, she turns and dozes off again.

I hear a thud in the hallway, followed by the sound of glass breaking. I stood up and approached the door. I glanced at Tris, she was soundly asleep. I open the door with a small creak. Outside, the hall was dark, I pass a turn and I see a dark figure. She's stealing food, I walk to her.

"You there, who are you?" I ask half yelling.

She runs towards the exit, the pitter patter of her foot follows behind.

"Hey!" I yell at her," Come back here!"

She didn't look back and runs faster. I catch up to her, behind I hear her pant she starts to lose her breathe. She is slowing down. I grab her hand and she kicks me in the stomach. My grip tightens and she struggles hard.

*Tris POV*

I wake up with the sound of a yell in the hallway, it sounded like Tobias.I turn to see whether he was still beside me, but he's gone. I kick the blanket and go outside just to see if everything all right.

"Of course it's all right, after all it's just Tobias,"I muttered to myself.But the curiosity is stronger, I opened the door silently. I follow the footprints on the floor, heading for the exit.

Outside I see two figures, a boy and a girl. He's holding her hand and leading her towards the entrance. They approach me, closer and closer. I can make out the boy's face, it's Tobias, but I can't see the girl. I start to grow suspicious, is he cheating on me? I scold myself for saying that but when your boyfriend slips outside secretly at 3 in the morning to meet a girl and holds her hand won't you be suspicious. Maybe I'm over thinking or just jealous.

They are five yards away from me. I crossed my arms and put on my bitchiest face. I debated with myself whether it was true that he was cheating on me and fighting my guilt for blaming him by my anger.

Three yards away and I notice that he is dragging her, my face softens and I am not so angry anymore. Guilt builds up in my heart. If she was his affair why would he treat her like an enemy? I let out small grunt of frustration, I'm just so confused. He spots me and his expression doesn't change, he quickens his pace. A yard away then finally face to face.

Her face is covered with her golden hair similar to mine and she stares at the ground. He looks me in the eye and says nothing.

"Hey, mind telling me who she is?" I ask him. Inside I was deciding whether I should trust him or not. He is Tobias after all he can't lie to me, right?

" You tell me", he lifts her face.

I gasp and put my hand over my mouth. The girl had brown eyes, a long nose and pale skin. She was me...
