I get back to the dauntless and immediately walked into the dormitory and fell face first on my bed.

"Where were you?" I head a familiar voice. "Erudite" I said muffed my face still into the bed.

"Huh?" I rolled my eyes and sat up. Will and Christina staring at me. "I was at erudite"

They looked at me confused and sat down. "Why were you there" asked Will.
"I needed to talk to my brother"

"About what?"

"About all of all, dauntless is hard and I don't think I'll be able to move forward and I-" I was cut off.

Seriously people need to stop cutting me off.

"Jordan don't think like that, you're amazing. One of best actually" Christina asked.

"Yeah you are, you were even amazing with your time on your fears"

I smiled, "thanks guys" I hugged them. "We're gonna go to the cafeteria to get something to eat if you wanna come"

I nodded my head. "I'll meet you there in a little bit" they nodded and walked off. I sat there and was thinking if I really wanna go down there and get food.

I nodded my head because I just remembered I haven't eaten in a while. I was walking in the hallways. It looked completely empty.

It was also too quiet, I heard a bang and stopped dead in my tracks. I turned around but nothing was there. I furrowed my eyebrows about to walk off when someone covered my mouth.

Four people in masks carried me down the hallway. I tried to get free from them but they were too strong.

They brought me the chasem and stood me on my feet and tried to push me off. I was pushing back on them trying to hold on for dear life.

"Dude let go of her" I heard in a hushed whispered.

"I'm trying" i recognize that voice. I pulled the mask off and saw it was Al. "Al" I said.

Tears were forming in my eyes. I finally got them off, I tried running away but they grabbed my wrist and punched me in the face and I went down.

I kicked them gut and stood back going for another hit but hit me in the fact again. They pulled me back closer to the edge.

"Hey" one of them was ripped off me and the other two backed off. I caught my breath. tears running down my face and I backed into a corner.

The person who saved me was fighting with them when he knocked them out, I saw it was Eric.

He rushed over to me, "hey" he said softly and put two fingers under my chin and pulled my head up so I was looking at him.

He wiped my tears away and helped me stand up. "You alright" he asked.

"Yes"

"Come on let's go"

I walked into his apartment. "You can take a seat" I walked over the couch and sat down. I looked around

Everything was either black and gray. He was very boring person when it came to colors.

"Here" he handed me a blanket and I wrapped it around my shoulders. "Thank you"

He sat in front of me and took my hand and examined the bruising on my knuckles. then he brought his hand to my face examining the bruises and cuts

He took a wet washcloth and dabbed it on my face. I hissed in pain and pulled me back. "Hey it's okay, I'm just cleaning ur cuts so they don't get infected"

I nodded and let him clean. "I can't believe my friend would do something like that"

"When your scared, fear makes you do crazy things"

He finished up and put the washcloth away. "Here, you take the bed and I'll take the couch.

"Goodnight Eric"

"Goodnight stiff"

I wake up to sun in my eyes. I got up and looked towards the couch and see Eric was gone.

"Hey, I got you breakfast" he threw me muffin and I caught it. I giggled, "thank you"

"How you feeling" he said with a mouthful. I rolled my eyes "don't you know it's not polite to talk with food in your mouth"

He shrugged. "As if I care" I smiled and shook my head. "I'm better, thanks to you"

He came over and sat next to me. "They will be punished, I promise" I put my hand on his. He tensed at first.

"Thank you" I whispered. "You're welcome" he kinda spat out as his mouth was still full of food.

I smirked and laughed at his childishness. Eric stood up offering me his hand. I took it and followed him out of his apartment.

We both walked into the cafeteria and went into parted different ways. I saw down next to Christina. "Hey what happened to yesterday"

"I slept at Eric's apartment last night" Christina choked on her food and Will sat there mouth open.

"Explain everything" Will said.

"I can't believe Al would do that, that doesn't sound like him" we all sat on the bed when we heard commotion going outside.

We looked at each other and ran outside too see a body being pulled up from the chasem.

"They said he just jumped"

"Jumped?"

"Why would someone jump"

When I saw it was Al my whole world stopped spinning. I ran out so fast and ran down the hallways pasting a few people.

"Jordan" I looked behind and saw Eric. "Al h-h-he's dead" my breathing picked up and I couldn't focus on what was going on.

"Jordan look it's not ur fault hey look at me" he pulled me into a hug. I sobbed into his chest while his hand was in my hair trying to calm me down.

"This is all my fault" I muffed into his chest. He pulled me away. "This is not you're fault, he made the decision to do that"

"He was never gonna make the finals"

I pulled away from his grip and ran my hands through my hair. "Yeah neither am I"

"Why do you say that?"

I bit my lip I still don't think I can trust him.

"You can tell me its okay" he reassured  me.

I breathed in and out. Still kinda shaky

"I'm divergent"
