Chapter 11

A/N: this chapter is for that guest reviewer, who wanted some more Zoe/Tris bonding, you got it! And yes, i will mention he ring. calm yo self. haha Guys, whatever you want ill do for you, just ask!

I wake up and i hear people tailing. i decide to keep my eyes shut. its tris and four.

"I know..its just when i saw her kicking her while she was down, it just reminded me of me, and i just didn't want her..i don't know, i just.." then she starts crying, but softly. I never thought Tris was the crying type.

"Its okay, tris" says four comforting her. "You did the right thing. You just can't lose it like that. eric is pretty mad" he says

"Oh who gives a crap about eric." she says obviously not crying anymore. He laughs a little.

"Ill deal with him later" he says and i can't tell if he's serious or kidding.

"no! not again! you don't want to be in the hospital do you?" she laughs

"Ah, no, he'd be the one begging for mercy! I would-" she must have cut him off.

"shut up, i thing she's waking up" says Tris. I flutter my yes open and pretend to be just waking up. I try to sit up, but i realize how much my ribs hurt.

"woah there." says four. walking over to help me. "You have a few bruised ribs, a black eye, but nothing to serious." he says helping me push myself up.

"that stiff got you pretty hard" says Four joking. Tris walks up and sits in a stool beside me.

"What happened after i blacked out?" i ask no one in particular.

"Well.." says tris. "Umm.. we took you to the hospital wing. The fights resumed. Marlene beat Susan. the candor girl…uh what was her name? oh yeah! chelsea, yeah, she's surprisingly a good fighter for someone her size." says tris.

"Really? i ask. "Did she win?" i am surprised that she didn't end up in the hospital bed beside me.

"No, but she put up a good fight. She blacked out after a hard punch, but only for a few seconds, but enough time to lose. she's okay now.'" she says reassuring me.

"Oh thats good." i say in a raspy voice. obviously I'm still very weak. "How long has it been?" i ask. "since I've been here, i mean?"

"about 12 hours." says four, looking at his watch. "it's 8:15, now. You might want to stay here overnight." he says.

"No, I'm okay" i say trying to get up. i let out a groan. oh my ribs. i quickly sit back down.

"i mean, its you're choice." he says. "but get some sleep." he opens the door. "I have to go, but Tris will be here if you need anything." and he's gone.

Awkward silence..

She sets her hand on the side of my bed and just looks around. she's obviously bored. and I'm a good conversation starter.

"What type of ring is that?" i say pointing to her finger.

"It's silver. with diamonds in the middle surrounding an opal." she says flippantly even though i can tell she is uncomfortable.

Tris's POV

Why does she want to know about my ring? i wonder to myself. This is weird. but i guess it's just girl-talk. clothes and such. She's from Amity, she is probably just some girly-girl with a daring attitude. like Christina. yeah, she's probably not suspicious at all. I am such an idiot but i do it anyway.

"Why?" i ask her. She hesitates

"I just noticed it, and thought it was pretty." she says. i knew it. she's just making conversation.

"Thank you" i say admiring my ring, pulling my hand down, so hopefully she won't ask any more questions.

"Who gave it to you?" she asks me.

"Wow, Initiate, you sure ask a lot of questions." i say acting bored.

"Who gave it to you?" she repeats. I sigh.

"Four. Four gave it to me." i say simply.

"For what?" she sounds tired, but obviously curious.

"As a gift. It was my birthday last month, and it was a gift. Any more questions?" she shakes her head. "Okay then, go to sleep." i say like I'm ordering a child even though I'm two years older than her. Age doesn't matter here. I can remember Tobias saying. he's only two years older than me, even though sometimes it seems that he has decades more knowledge than i do. He's probably in the control room. I sit up and whipe my palms on my jeans. "Sleep well" i say as i walk out.

A/N: did you guys like my tris's POV thing? i might do one with tobias and maybe alex. so i decided that i don't want tris and four to be married…..yet;) but there is a surprise couple that we all know and love, who are married after two years, and theres an evil *cough peter cough* villain who might even come and join the action. muhahahahaahaha!
