Eric and Tris

Chapter 9

Blood was everywhere, screams were filling the training room. My screams.

"Al what did you do!." I cried
He stares at me in shook.
"Tris- I... I didn't mean to shoot."
I ran over to his lifeless body. This was all my fault. I'm the reason Will is here.
"Will please stay, please don't go." I sobbed. I heard foot steps running towards us.

Eric comes in to sight, I hear heavy metal fall to the ground and a bullet fly over my head implying itself into the wall.
Eric runs towards Al tackling him to the ground. I look at Eric and then stand up to run towards the door to call out for help.

-2 hours later-
Christina was sat by herself in the corner of the room. She'd hadn't said a word since the doctor told her that Will might never wake up. She kept glaring over at me. This was my fault. If I'd just let Al throw me off the chasm or four hadn't beaten him up or I hadn't humiliated him in front of the whole of dauntless this wouldn't have happened.

I felt tears falling down my face. Strong arms wrapped around me. The scent was familiar. I knew it was four. I didn't care though because he was my safety right now. "Stop blaming yourself tris." He kisses the top of my head. "You didn't do anything wrong. It could have been you. Our baby could have been shoot." I start to sob. Was he trying to make me grow more guilty.

I got up from the chair and walked over to Christina. She stood up and fell into my arms sobbing. "Why did he have to walk into that stupid training room tris." I shook my head and started to cry. "He saved our life Christina" I say as she stares done to my stomach. She hugs me tight. "I'm going to go sit with him. Tell everyone to go home and rest, I'll text if anything happens." She says giving a sad smile. I hug her tight and said my goodbyes.

-
Eric was sitting on the sofa, his head in his hand. He looked troubled. I closed the door and he instantly got up walking towards me. He hugged me tightly. "Eric, hey... not too tight I have a baby inside me remember." He let's go of me and looks at me.
"Al has been sent to erudite, they will decide what his fate will be. They will need to talk to you through." I nod.

He grabbed my hand and walked me over to the sofa. He walked over to our kitchen and put the kettle on. He brought out a slice of dauntless cake. I felt a smile creep on my face. "I thought you needed some cheering up." He sighed. I looked up at him. His eyes were watering as he looked up at me glazing over the bump. "I don't know what I would have done if that was you on the ground Tris." I stood up and ran over to him crashing my tiny body on his. "I'm okay, you won't have to worry about this happening again." I looked up at him, he was playing with his lip rings. I stared at them, I bit down on my bottom lip, he stared down at me. "Tris," I went on my tip toes, "we can't. You're having his baby." I didn't care. "I don't care Eric, I'm not with him anymore." His hand grazed my cheek. I stared up into his blue, green eyes. "Eric I-" my phone started buzzing. The moment ended.

Christina-
You need to get to the infirmary now. Will is awake.

I felt my heart jump out my chest, my stomach sank. I turned to Eric, "will is awake." I sighed in relief. He gave me a nod. "Go. We can talk later."

_
Will looked awful, he had wires and tubes over his body. His eyes had bags and his face was a ghostly white. He gave me a slight smile. "Will, thank you. I owe you my life. You saved us." I blurted out while cradling my small bump. He smiles at me and then looks over at Christina, "why were you there Will?" I asked. I wasn't meant to be there but I had some loss ends to finish before training the next day. He had no business being there. "I heard you. I saw a man walk into the room. I thought it was Eric or Four at first but you started screaming. You said Al and I don't know I had to see." He crooked out. I sighed.

I stayed there for an hour, I gave Will a hug and told him I'd see him in a few days. I gave Chris a hug. She didn't hug back through. I think she was still angry at me for putting Will at risk.

When I got home Eric was already asleep on the sofa. I decided not to wake him. I didn't want to talk about our moment together. I didn't want to admit to him that I wanted to kiss him then and now. I smiled down at him then went to bed. I wanted to forget today ever happened.
