"You tried killing Four." I whispered, any emotion dead in my voice.
Eric exhaled a long breath.
"You didn't even take a second to think about me." My voice echoed throughout the woods.

Eric got up and walked over to me and slid down the tree as well.
"No. Thats not the story. I saved Four. Max wanted to simply snipe him and if Max did that, Four wouldn't have had a chance. I convinced Max that I would take Four on my own, and I let Tris shoot me." He explained. "I promise."

I stared at him for a long time. I shakily got up and snuggled into his chest. "I hate you." I whispered.

Eric dryly chuckled. "I love you too."

And we sat there a long time, as I fell asleep on him under the stars.
