I apologize ~ this is one of my shorter chapters.
So did you hear for the new Insurgent movie there's going to be a guy name Edgar who butts into the FourTris relationship?
SO STUPID! 😭
But anyway...
ENJOY! 💕

"He named himself Tristan," I whisper.
"That's so sweet!" Christina squeals.
The door of the trailer bangs open, and Tobias strolls out.
I mentally curse. Why hadn't I realized we were whispering right in front of Tobias's trailer?
"You're at my dressing room, how can I help you?" he says in a bored tone.
"To-" my face immediately falters. I almost said Tobias. And Tobias knows I almost said Tobias. His arched eyebrow tells me he knows. A frightened look passes over my face, and I smile nervously, "Uh, I mean Four! Yeah, Four, that's it!"
I can see Christina biting her lip.
I can see the calculated look on Tobias's face as he forms a plan in his head.
I recognize that look. That adorable look...
"Jayden," he speaks quietly and slowly. "Will you go out with me?"
Chris looks quickly over to me, mouthing words. "Should I accept?"
I nod her head ever so slightly. I know that Christina likes Tobias... Just a little bit. I should be a good friend and let her accept.
I broke up with him. He's allowed to do whatever he wants.
"Yes..." Christina whispers.
I just stalk away, muttering words under my breath.

It's alone in the hotel room.
My eyes wander back and forth. From the empty, folded bed to the flickering phone on the nightstand.
Must be Lynn, Shauna, Cara and Lauren on group chat.
I pick up the remote and slide into bed, wearing a sweatshirt and gym shorts.
The sweatshirt says "Keep calm if you're Divergent."
I flip through channels, and my gaze stops at a picture.
"RISING STAR SPOTTED AT ORANGEE WITH SWEATHEART."
Tobias. With Christina.
And Christina's not wearing her disguise.
The hotel room's lights sizzle, then shut off, taking the life of the TV with it.
I throw the remote, somewhat glad the electricity vanished.
The darkness makes me wish for company, however.
Someone knocks on the door, and then it opens.
"Excuse me, Miss..." It's the cleaner.
He comes into sight, and immediately halts, and I stare up at him, open-mouthed.
"Edgar?" I whisper, ever so slowly.
His polite smile falters, replaced with an evil one.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Tris," his voice replies, dripping with fake sarcasm.
He takes one step towards me, and I step back towards the wall.
I'm being a coward. I can't be afraid. But this is Edgar... From Abnegation... That guy that used to live near us...
He keeps walking towards me as I inch further and further away.
"Tris, don't be afraid, it's only me."
"You... You raped me!" I reply, my voice quivering. "And I trusted you..."
