Left Out (Divergent)

Awake

<Ace pov>
I wake up feeling super hungry. I check the time it is 6:00 p.m. i have been sleeping since six this morning. So i practically slept for half a day. I stand up and my body feels like it's on fire. I fall only to be caught by big arms. I try to stand on my own, but i can't so the arms give me support.
"Thank you," i say before looking at the person.
I see Eric standing in front of me. He has an emotionless expression on his face. He supports me by keeping his hands on my hips.
"Can you stand," he asks, i feel like i hear some sincerity in his voice.
"I don't know, to tell you the truth," i say with a small smile.
He lets go real quick and i fall again. He catches me quickly. My legs feel like rubber.
"I think i may need some help," i say with a smile.
"Yah think," he says with a smirk.
"Lets get you some food. You must be starving," he says.
And i nod my head. He picks me up bridal style like Four did and starts carrying me out the infirmary towards the mess hall. My stomach starts to do small flip flops when i breath in his smell. As we turn we almost bump into someone. That someone being Four.
Four glares at Eric and Eric glares back.
"Hey Four," i boom trying to break the tension.
"Hey Ace," he says holding back the snarl in his voice.
Eric puts me down but still supports me by holding my hips. I feel like a baby trying to take her first few steps. Or just a really bad drunk. I grab onto Eric's shoulder for support.
"Whats wrong," asks Four.
"I can't feel my legs. Well actually they feel like rubber," i say.
He nods and says,"Do you want me to take her," to Eric.
"I got it," Eric says before he picks me up again.
We walk into the mess hall. Everyone looks up. Tayla and Lex jump out there seats.
"Your back," they say in unison.
Eric walks over to their table and sets me down before walking away. Tayla and Lex sit back down.
"Hows your head,"Lex asks.
"Fine," i answer.
"Hey can we join you," says Connor.
Lex glares at them, but lets them sit.
"So when did you get a tattoo," i ask Lex, seeing something under her blond hair on her neck.
She smiles and moves her hair to show a quote written there.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat

"Nice, where is it from," i ask.
"It was said by F. Scott Fitzgerald," she say her light brown eyes filled with a happy emotion.
Will and Connor exchange looks like they know the quote. Rina is very quiet and sits there not talking.
"Did you get anything Rina," i ask.
"No, not yet, i need help choosing," she answers.
"Want to go with me and Lex later," says Tayla.
Her brown curly hair bouncing up and down with her body in excitement. Rina looks surprised that Tayla even offered.
"Sure," she says with a smile.
After that we all eat and talk about random stuff. Apparently Amity boy, Peace was not a good fighter. He seemed strong but he was very timid. Connor explained that during the time i was gone, Peace had made excuses not to do things to much.
"He is gonna get cut. Im pretty sure," says Connor.
Everyone nods there heads in agreement.
"Where is Peace anyways," i ask.
"Probably asleep already, and his name is not Peace anymore it is Sun," says Lex.
We all finish eating. When i am done i turn around and try to stand up only to fall. Connor grabs my arm before i can face plant.
"Thanks," i say.
He sits me back down on the bench.
"No problem," he says.
He walks away and waves good bye. Will is still sitting at the table stuffing himself with Dauntless cake. I smile cause the way he eats it is hilarious.
I turn back around in my seat to face Lex and Tayla only to see fear sketched into there faces. Before i can turn around to see who it is i hear a deep voice speak.
"Do you need help getting to your dorm," i turn around to see Eric asking.
"I think i will be fine," i say.
"Can you stand," he asks.
"Not exactly," i say.
I see Four out of the corner of my eye walking towards us. I feel relieved.
"What's wrong," he asks.
"She still can't walk," answers Eric.
"I will take her back to the dorm then," says Four.
I smile up at Four who smiles back. Eric leaves right when he sees me smile at Four. Four plops down beside me.
"So," says Lex.
Pointing between me and Four, winking. I start bursting out into laughter and so does Four. But his is more of a small chuckle.
"This guy is like my brother, so heck no," i say.
Four pretend to act hurt and starts chuckling again.
"So you would never want to hit on this," he says.
I laugh even more. Lex stares at us like we are crazy.
"I am pretty sure theres a lot of people that want to hit on their instructor," i say.
Lex looks like she would say hell yeah. But not in front of Four. After our laughter dies down. Tayla, Lex, and Rina leave to the tattoo shop. Will is still sitting at the table with us.
"Tomorrow we will be working on the basics of fighting," Four whispers in my ear.
"I hope my legs work tomorrow," i say grabbing one leg and shaking it.
We both laugh. Will stands and leaves us. Me and Four talk for a bit more.
"I should head back to the dorms," i say.
I turn around in my seat and try to stand up again. I use the table for support. My legs are kind of working but there shaking like crazy.
"I think a good nights rest will help with that," says Four as he points at my legs.
I laugh and he grabs me and hauls me over his shoulder. I start laughing and hit him in the back with my fists playfully. As i am hanging upside down i notice Max and Eric staring at us. Max is smiling while Eric is glaring. Four carries me over his shoulder all the way to the dorms. Once we get there he drops me on bunk.
"Get your rest," he says.
"Thanks but i think im gonna be up for a while. Since i am finally awake," i say.
"You look tired to me," he says.
Before i can stop, i yawn. He smiles and laughs at me. It is only 8:30 nobody is back. There all probably hanging out. Four pulls my blanket over me and tucks me in. He is seriously like my older brother.
"Good night," he says before he leaves.
"Good night," i call out before closing my eyes.
