4 + 6 = 10: Divergent [Completed-No War]

Chapter 5

I put Tris's P.O.V in basically every chapter because the story is mainly about her.

I still wasn't sure how I felt about Tris' pregnancy.

I mean, I wanted to at least be married before we had children. I sent her back to the apartment because I was planning on proposing to her tonight. I was going to the night we found out she was pregnant. I just didn't want her to think I only want to marry her because of our child.

I had been planning this for months. I already had the ring. It was a gray band with a black stone in the middle. I wanted to get one with all of her faction aptitudes, but she hated Erudite.

I made spaghetti, her favorite food, and I put candles on the table. I had Christina lay out some clothes for Tris. (I obviously have no fashion sense.)

I walked back to the apartment and opened the door. I saw Tris standing in front of the table. "Hey." I said.

She turned around. "Wow." Was all she said.

I decided it was now or never. I got down on one knee. I pulled the box out of my pocket and opened it. "Tris Prior, I love you with all my heart. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I asked.

Tris stood there. She didn't say anything. She just stood and stared. "No." She whispered. She shook her head. Not a minute later she ran out of the apartment with tears streaming down her face.

Tris doesn't love me. I closed the box and stood up. I pulled out a chair and sat. I lasted for a few minutes before I broke. I began smashing everything. The table was flipped over. Shattered glass was everywhere. But most importantly, I threw the ring outside. I never wanted to see it again. I loved her more than she loved me.

He is only proposing because I'm carrying out child. If it was out of love it would've happened earlier.

I kept running. I ran out of Dauntless Headquarters. I ran to the Town Square. I ran to Erudite Headquarters. I ran inside and asked the receptionist where I could find Caleb Prior.

"He's on floor seven, miss. Room 213." I went to the elevator. I was all alone. I broke into tears. The door dinged and opened. I tried to wipe tears before the Erudite saw me. Dauntless weren't supposed to show emotion.

I looked at the numbers on the "living quarters" doors. (That's what the Erudite call them.) 210, 211, 212, 213.

I knocked on the door with 213 in brass letters. Caleb answered a few moments later. "Hello Tris." He said. Then he noticed my blotchy face. "What's wrong? Come in." I walked in and shut the door behind me.

His living room was basically a library. The walls were lined with bookshelves and he had a deep blue sofa in the midst of it. His kitchen consisted of a small stove, little counter space, and a refrigerator. The walls were navy blue. The kitchen tiles were pure white and the living room had indigo carpet.

"Sit down." He said, walking over to his sofa. I sat down on the opposite edge of Caleb. "Now, why were you crying?"

"It's a stupid reason to be upset." I said.

"Do I need to beat someone up?" He joked. I gave him a small smile, even though I knew Tobias would knock Caleb unconscious in less than a minute. I've seen it happen.

"Four proposed to me." I said. Caleb looked confused.

"And that's bad because...?" Caleb asked.

"I don't think he really loves me. I think he just wants to get married because of our child." I said, sadly.

Caleb still obviously didn't understand. I was about to stand, but Caleb stopped me. "Would you ask someone you didn't love to marry you? Even if you had a child with them? Think about it." He said.

Caleb and I stood up. "Thanks for the advice, Caleb." I said. I left Erudite Headquarters and decided to walk back. I needed time to think.

I still wasn't sure whether Tobias wanted to get married out of love, or out of the consequences of sex.

I'm having trouble deciding the gender and name. Comment the gender and name of your choice like this, gender:name.
