Breaking out

Eric surprisingly came back to his usual self the next day.A part of me really hoped that I had touched something in him.That maybe he had realized how crazy all this was and he would let me escape or even rebel with me.
But this was all a dream.A twisted fantasy of a poor girl who desperately tried to break out of her miserable reality.
I knew that I was basically waiting to die or be tortured and I soon realized I should stop believing my prince charming would come and swipe me up and save me.
There was no one coming to save me.

My brother was too afraid and weak even if he wanted to show otherwise and Eric...Eric simply did not see me as a human being,he saw me as a threat and in best case a good,casual fuck.

But I was so much more than that.I had not escaped my father only to come into another prison and if it meant i had to fight everyone to live the life I deserved I would do it.

It was 4AM and Eric,after fucking some chick in the bathroom,had fallen asleep.He had not touched me in a long time and i did not know if he got bored or realized there was no point in doing so but I was grateful.It was easier to let him go that way.
He had also stopped putting handcuffs to me at night.

I sat on the bed and stared at him for a while.
Even after all the cruel things he had did Eric still was the most physically beautiful person I had ever seen.
Sadly though I had not fallen for that or else it would be easy to stop loving him.
But hell it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I slowly got up and walked over Eric's desk.I got a pen and some paper and started writing.
Soon enough tears stung my eyes.
Who knew leaving a man that never loved me would be so hard.
Here I was explaining my feelings to a man who would shoot me in a blink of an eye.
But we don't choose who we love and sadly who will break our hearts.

I finished writing and went to the bathroom to get dressed.
I got ready and took my shoes in my hands.
The door was unlocked since Eric had already fallen asleep when the girl left.

I stood in front of him for a second.
He was slightly snoring.

I bent and kissed his head gently.
He slightly shifted in his sleep but never woke up.

I did not wait any longer and walked out.

When I closed the door behind me I almost couldn't believe it.
A few more minutes and I would be free.

I had arranged the plan a long time ago and it took a while to convince my brother and Tris but I finally did.
Tobias insisted I was safer in Dauntless but even Tris understood how stupid this was.

Tobias had deactivated all the cameras of course and Tris had slipped a pill inside the guards drinks.

We would all meet at the gates.

I had passed all the leaders corridors and I would soon be at the gates when I heard noise coming from on of the corridors.
I stuck to the wall and listened.
There was no taking but it was clearly the sound of people making out.
I let a shaky breath and took a look.

The couple was too involved to pay attention to me so I quickly walked past them and a few steps later I was a the gates.

Tris and Tobias were already there and I couldn't help but run and hug my brother.

"It's Okay you are safe now." he whispered.

I let a few tears drop and i nodded.

"We should go before anyone realizes." Tris said.

Tobias agreed and he took my hand in his.

We took one last glance at Dauntless and never looked back.

3rd point of view

Eric woke up with a jolt when he realized Adelane wasn't laying beside him.
He put his pants on,grabbed a gun and left his room.

"ADELANE!" He kept screaming the girl's name.
Surely be would find her...and he would there would be no second chances for her.He would kill her perfect DNA or not.

Soon everyone was up.They all were confused and no one seemed to want to be in Eric's way.

Max was soon up as well.

"Eric what the hell is going on?!" he was still half asleep.

Eric's chest was rising and falling rapidly.
He just couldn't contain his anger.
His fist collided with the wall.

Ignoring Max,Eric walked back to his room to think what to do.
Max followed him.

It didn't take long for him to figure it out.
"She left..."

"I swear I am going to kill her." Eric said in a shaky voice.

"Eric." Max said

Eric ignored him and kept looking for any sign in the room that would help him found her.
But he had not seen the bigger one.

Just as Max took the letter in his hands the rest of the leaders run into the room.

"Eric."Max said again louder.

Eric turned this time.
His eyes fell on the letter.

"What?She is gloating about her escape?" he hissed.

Max who was reading the letter shook his head and couldn't help but form a sad smile.After all Max never agreed with the Divergent theory of Erudite but he was too afraid to speak.

"Not at all." he said.

"Dear Eric,

By the time you will be reading this,you'll most definitely want to put a bullet in my head.That's alright.I think the next time we will meet either one of us will die so the only way I could tell you how I feel was this.

First of all,I lied.
Leaving you last night,even after all the things you did to me...was the hardest thing i had ever done.Because i said I lied when I said i hate you.
Actually besides my own brother you are the only other person i would die for.I hate that this is true since you will never feel that way...but I can't change it.
We don't get to choose who will break our hearts.

You broke mine a long time ago.I don't know if I survive this whether I will ever fall in love again.My mother used to say you only fall in love once.
I think i believe her.

I know you hate me.I hoped I could say the same thing.
In another life maybe you could love me.Until we meet again there,this is my goodbye.

Love
Adele."

Eric stood in silent.

What the hell was happening.
