Tris POV:

I walk to the palace alone. Will and Christina have started going to work together.
I walk up the steps of the palace and a tall figure comes in view.
His back is turned to me. I quickly try to run into the palace before he sees me.
"I can hear you. Whoever you are." Tobias says. "Come."
I walk over to him and then he looks at me.
"Tris, I--" I cut him off.
"I have work to do." I say and try to walk away.
He grabs my arm and I pull out of his grasp.
Then he grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" I ask him.
"Because, I love you." He says.
"If you loved me, you wouldn't have tried force me to have sex with you."
"Tris, I was drunk."
"I wouldn't understand because I don't drink."
"Tris, I'm sorry."
I start crying.
"Please don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." He pleads.
I look at him.
"I'm really sorry." He says again.
"Tobias. Stop. Just, stop."
He hugs me and I cry into his chest.
