This shouldn't have happened, he shouldn't be here. He was dead. He's not meant to be here.

The gun was pointed at my bump. My body was pressed against his. Please don't shoot please don't shoot please don't shoot.

- 3 hours earlier -

8am, my shift started in 3 hours, I had to train later on and prepare to train the initiates.

I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water rinsed my body, my bump was fully showing at this point, I was only 4 months pregnant but I am small.

I got out the shower and put on some leggings, black tank top and a black jacket. I put on my black combat boots and exited the bathroom.
Eric was already at work and he had a meeting at the candor headquarters.

I walked to the canteen, Chris, will, Uriah and Marlene were sitting at the table with four. I went up got some waffles and orange juice and made my way to the table. Four looked up at me from talking to Marlene and gave me a grin, "tris, hey! Been a while you okay?" I smile and just reply "I'm okay, umm." He looks back at Marlene. Her and Four seemed very comfy. "Are you guys dating or something..." I blurt out. Marlene looks down at her foot and four looks away. Uriah looked at four and well he looked pissed. Marlene and Zeke only just broke up! He'd been away at amity to clear his head.

"Umm well..." Four starts,
"YES! OMG I've been wanting to tell you guys for so long! We have been dating for about 3 weeks and it's been so hard to not tell you guys!" I looks away, I wanted to walk away, what happened to girl code and well guy code! I look at Marlene and smile. "Don't get her pregnant four." I say and got up and walked out of the canteen.

I went to the training room. All I wanted to do was punch things. It felt like he had betrayed me in some sort of way. I know that we aren't together anymore but he's my baby's father. And well Marlene is one of my best friends. I kept punching.

"Tris?" I turned around, Four was standing 6 feet away from me, he looked terrified. I turned back to my work in front of me, I was planning out my training for tomorrow.
"I'm sorry okay, it just happened, she was upset about Zeke, I was umm upset about you and we kissed and arghhh Tris I like her so much but oh god I love you!" I felt tears forming in my eyes. I love him still! I wanted to stand up and kiss him but I can't, he's with Marlene and what he did to me I still can't forgive him.

"I'm sorry Four but you need to leave." I wanted to tell him to stay so bad. So so bad. But he isn't good for me. He broke my heart and I don't think I can ever forgive him for that.

I heard footsteps leave the room and I let out a sigh. Why did my life have to get so complicated so fast. I wanted to be with him but I couldn't trust him ever again.

I had half an hour until work and all I wanted to do was sleep. I was already over today, I was already exhausted.

I laid on the mats on the floors, staring at my bump. My hands ran over the bump over and over again. All I could think about was his face, him. Tobias. He is apart of this baby, he will forever be apart of my life.

I heard footsteps walking towards me, I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to see who was here. I didn't want it to be Tobias, I didn't want to break. But I also wanted him. I wanted my life with him. I wanted to be with him again. But my chance is gone. He was with Marlene now.

"Get up." The man shouted at me. I turned my head towards him. His face was so familiar. His height towered over me. The gun was pointed at me.
"Get. Up." I stared. I stood up quickly. He was there in front of me. I didn't want to believe this. This is a dream. I watched him die. He was dead.
"Al, please." I pleaded,  I wrapped my arms around my bump, protecting it from him. He rolled his eyes.
"Please Al, please don't hurt me." He laughed mocking me. He kept laughing. I didn't want to cry. I wanted to run. I needed help but I didn't know what to do.
"Y-you were dead. I watched them, they took your body out of the chasm." I stared down at my shoes.

He laughed at me, he kept laughing at me. I didn't understand. I can't understand. He was meant to be gone. We all mourned his death. We all cried. He was selfish. He was cruel.

"You bastard! We cried for you! You made me feel guilty for your death. I hate you!" He rolls his eyes once again. He didn't understand the guilt I had when he jumped. He didn't understand the pain I went through when I thought I was the reason he died. He didn't understand anything.

"You don't understand Beatrice." He says as he inches towards me. "You don't understand how much I loved you, how much I envied that trainer you fell for. You have no idea how much I wanted you." I stood there shocked. He loved me? But he, he attacked me. He tried to throw me off of the chasm. How could he love me if he wanted to kill me.

"No, you're crazy. You're crazy Al!" I screamed. He moved the gun towards my bump. "You got knocked up," he laughed. He walks towards me until the gun is on my stomach. "One bullet and your baby is gone. All you have to do is say what I want you to say." I wanted to cry. I want to scream out for help.
"P-please Al this isn't you. You're not evil." I whispered. "Please." I cried.

We stood there in silence.
"They're gonna look for me Al. They will look for me. I'm meant to be at the tattoo shop right now. You know I'm always at my shifts on time." He didn't but maybe he'd let me go. He laughs. Rolls his eyes and presses the gun into me harder causing more pain.

I heard footsteps running towards us. Al turned pointing the gun at whoever was running this way and pulled the trigger. I screamed my hearing ringing.
