Tris pov

I walk to Al's front door and knock gently. I hold flowers in my hand to remind him of the time he gave me flowers.

His mom answers and smiles when she sees me.

"Tris what a pleasant surprise" his mom says and I give her a smile.

"Is Al home? Could I talk to him" I aak

"He's in his room. Go right up" she says and let's me walk by her.

I hold onto the railing as I go up each and every exhausting step.

Once I get to the top I waddle to his room and knock on the door. He yells come in and I slowly open the door.

When he sees me, he looks annoyed.

"Hi" I say out of breath

"Here sit down. You look exhausted" he says getting up from his bed to pull out his desk chair for me.

"Thank you. You have a lot of steps" I whisper to him with a laugh and he just pretends to ignore me.

"I got these for you" I say referring to the flowers and starting the conversation again.

He nods and takes them from me, then moves back to his bed.

"So what did you come here for" He ask

"To apologize for everything. Not just for ruining your life but for all the pain I've caused you and sacrifices I made you make" I tell him

"You didn't ruin my life you just made me realize how stupid I was to ever have a crush on someone as selfish as you" he says and I look down nodding.

"I deserve that" I say making eye contact with him again and his eyes are filled with sadness.

I get up from my seat and wince at how hard it was for me to get up by myself.

"You know most girls would hate the guys for getting them pregnant but I only hate myself. Tobias has told me countless of times to stop blaming myself but thats all I can do, that's all i want to do. I ruined your life Al and because of me you're missing out on so much. So I've come here today to tell you I think you should go to that college. Forget me, forget the baby, forget where we live and leave to go to your dream college. You're so smart and you deserve to meet someone who's going to mean something to you and make your life so happy" I tell him as tears run down my face.

Before I knew what was happening he has his hands on my face and he's kissing me. My mind tells me to pull away but my body tells me to keep going.

His lips feel good against mine and I don't want it to stop.

I pull away and look down, scared because what I have just done.

"I had to do that at least one more time but you didn't have to kiss back" he says and I look up at him and move closer.

"Fuck it" I whisper and put my lips back on Al's.

He lifts up my hoodie and pulls it over my head and I do the same to his shirt.

I continue to kiss him because I know no matter what I do I'm ruining someone's life some how. I might as well just live a little while I continue to make mistake, after mistake, after mistake.
