A/N: It's been over a month but HEY IT HASN'T BEEN THREE MONTHS I MEAN I THINK IT'S A PRETTY BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT.

I edited this but I think there's a bunch of typos so prepare yourself to cringe at a lot of grammar mistakes.

Tobias POV

I got the call while I was in the training room practicing my knife throwing. Just as I was about to throw a perfectly sharpened knife at the target, I suddenly felt my phone buzz in my pocket. It was an unusual occurrence for me. People in Dauntless only ever call each other in times of emergency, so why would someone be calling me now? What type of emergency would they be in?

I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. It said "Alex Daddario." Why would Alex be calling me? Did she get herself in trouble again? It really wouldn't be a surprise, considering her best friend was someone like Drake.

I slid my finger across the screen to answer the call and finally stop the obnoxious ringing. "Hello?" I cringed. I hated answering calls by asking 'hello?' It made me seem as if I didn't know how to use a cell phone.

"Four," Zoë immediately answered in a hard voice. "I need you to come to Erudite headquarters. Now."

I raised an eyebrow; then lowered it again when I realized that she couldn't see me. "And why would I do that?" I had no reason to help her.

She hesitated for a moment as if debating whether or not she actually wanted to tell me. I didn't understand why she wouldn't tell me, though. She was the one who called me. Finally, she answered, "The Erudite have important information about my parents. And you're going to help me get it."

"What?" I asked, suddenly taken aback. Why would she need me for something as important as her parents? "Why can't you do it on your own?"

I could hear her frustration through the phone. "Could you please shut up and just come over here already? I'll explain everything once you get here."

I went silent and debated whether or not I should bother going all the way to Erudite for her. I recalled the conversation we had last night at the chasm, when we had what most people would call a 'heartfelt moment.' Zoë had told me that her parents had died in the war, and that she felt like it was her own fault that they were dead. If I had actually cared about my parents during the war, and if my parents had actually died in battle, then I suppose that I would want to know information about them as well. But I don't know if I would have gone to such measures as to prowl through Erudite or whatever she planned on doing.

Tris definitely would, a voice in the back of my head whispered to me. I shook my head in an attempt to rid my mind of the voice. I didn't need to relate Zoë to Tris. They were nothing alike… or that's what I continually told myself.

But Tris knew what it was like to lose her parents. Tris knew what it was like to not know something about your deceased parents. Tris knew what it was like to walk around aimlessly, trying to find answers. And Tris would want me to help Zoë so she wouldn't have to find it all out by herself. Everyone needs a little help along the way.

I sighed. I was Abnegation, right? So I was obligated to help her. "Where exactly in Erudite are you?"

"Alex will escort you to where we are located," Zoë answered happily. Wait, Alex was there?

"Alex is with you too?" I asked in surprise. It honestly shouldn't have been so shocking. I mean, it was Alex's phone she was calling me through. "I suppose Drake is there as well." Drake and Alex were as close as friends could be without actually dating. Of course they were together all the time.

"What makes you think that?!" I heard Drake shout into the microphone, confirming my suspicions.

I laughed at his offended tone. "You and Alex are practically attached at the hip. You two do everything together."

Alex laughed. I could practically hear Drake roll his eyes as he said, "Whatever, dude. Hurry up, you don't want to miss the next train here."

I checked the time and started to move around quickly when I realized that the next train would be here in 10 minutes. "You better have a good explanation for this," I said into the microphone as I started to put my knives away. "I don't want to get there and find out I got my ass up for nothing."

"I'm sure you won't be disappointed," Zoë answered before the line went dead.

Why did I agree to this again?

Once I had put everything away, I quickly started making my way to the train tracks. I ran straight into Uriah at the chasm on my way out.

"Sorry, Uri," I quickly apologized, knowing that the train would be arriving in only 8 minutes. I tried running past him, but he grabbed my arm.

"What's got you rushing, Four?" he asked, curiosity pasted across his features.

"Zoë needs my help over at Erudite," I answered hurriedly. I glanced at my watch. 7 minutes.

Uriah smirked and released my arm. "Ah, I see." He covered his mouth to hide his smirk, but I already saw it. Did he know something I didn't? I couldn't see how he could know something about Zoë. He's known her for about as long as I have.

My curiosity got the best of me, and I turned to face him again. "What do you mean?" Uriah coughed to conceal laughter, but he quickly composed himself.

"It's just that the Four I knew wouldn't rush all the way to Erudite for some random girl that he met yesterday," he answered, the smirk making its way onto his face again.

"She isn't some random girl," I blurted before I could think it through. The blush coated my cheeks as I heard Uriah snicker, but I ignored him. Was what I said true? She was some random girl… right? I wouldn't do anything special for her, because Zoë wasn't anything special. But wasn't this something I would only do for someone I care about? I wouldn't rush to Erudite for just about anyone.

"You realize that you just said the most cliché thing ever, right?" Uriah said, adding to my embarrassment. "'She isn't some random girl' says every guy in every romance movie." He rolled his eyes.

"This isn't a romance movie or even a romance book," I told him. "This is real life. And in real life, there's no happily ever after for the happy couple." And there certainly isn't any happy ending for me and Tris.

"This is about Tris, isn't it?" Uriah asked, his tone softening. Was it really that obvious?

"No," I answered quickly. When Uriah gave me a look that said he didn't believe me, I added, "Not entirely." I wasn't the only one who was left behind by the person they loved. Will left Christina behind. Marlene left Uriah behind… then Uriah left his friends behind. The only up side now is that our losses bound us closer together as a faction—as a family. And family means no one is left behind or forgotten. We won't leave each other behind. We won't forget about the people who have left us behind—unintentionally, of course.

Uriah sighed. "Look, Four," he placed a callused hand on my shoulder and continued, "I know you've had 3 years to adjust, but I can tell that you still haven't let her go. I mean, she's Tris. It isn't a surprise that you still hold on to her so tightly." I brace myself for him to tell me the words that every person I know has ever told me—Zoë being the only exception—it's time to let her go.

But what comes out of his mouth is the exact opposite of what I was expecting. "And I want you to keep hanging on to her. Everyone else here tries to wipe her away, tries to pretend that she never existed. But if you keep hanging on to her as tightly as you have been for the past three years…" he trails off, biting his lip. Then he says, "Maybe you'll find Tris in someone else."

I assumed he was speaking in the metaphorical sense. He was saying that I'd find a new lover in a new girl. Of course I probably wouldn't. I've tried with Christina, but... she didn't make me feel the way Tris made me feel. Before I could respond, he pushed me forward. "Okay, Four, I've delayed you enough. You still have a train to catch."

I glanced at my watch, alarmed at how much time had flown by. The next train would be here in 3 minutes.

"Shit! I'll see you later, Uri," I quickly farewelled, dashing out of the Pit.

Uriah POV

Well, damn. I hope Tris doesn't kill me for hinting to Four that she's alive. He probably had no idea what the hell I was talking about, but once he finds out that Zoë is Tris, he'll understand. He'll literally find Tris in another girl, and then one day he'll thank me for my words of wisdom. Tris will probably be pissed at me if she finds out, though… oh well. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But for now, I want some Dauntless cake…

Tobias POV

The next train to Erudite was just arriving once I made it to the tracks, and I swiftly hopped on with ease.

It didn't take long for me to make it to Erudite. As I leaped off the train onto the ground lying in front of Erudite headquarters, I saw Alex standing a few feet away from the tracks.

She shook her head as I approached her, but I could see the small smile on her face. "Wow, Four. I didn't expect you to actually come over here."

I didn't know whether I should be offended or flattered at her comment—offended because she didn't think I'd come to Erudite to help someone, flattered because she oh-so-bluntly described my stubbornness. I went with the former. "Why would you think that?" I asked her as we started to walk towards the building.

She kept her eyes locked in front of her, probably only able to see me from the corner of her eye, but I knew the smirk she wore on her face was directed at me. "After only a day of knowing her, you still go to all this trouble to help her. That girl's already got you falling, huh?"

I internally scoffed, although I think it would've been more effective if I had scoffed out loud. It didn't take an Erudite to figure out that the girl she was talking about was Zoë. Why would I like her? It was impractical. It was improbable. It was impossible. And out of all people, why would I fall for someone that was Tris' look alike?

Of course her looking like Tris shouldn't have influenced my decision. But it wasn't just that she looked like Tris; no, it was more than that. At times, their personalities seemed one and the same, and that scared me. I had always thought Tris to be so unique, so different from anyone else, and the fact that there was another girl walking around that was almost exactly like her made Tris seem so… obsolete.

"I didn't hear a no." Alex snickered from beside me. I had forgotten to address her entirely.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Alex, let's be reasonable here. You know that I wouldn't fall for someone after only a day of knowing them."

Alex only nodded as we reached the entrance of the building, but I could tell by the smirk on her face that she didn't believe me.

What I told her about Zoë was true—I haven't fallen for her. After all, it's only been a day.

You haven't fallen for her yet. 'Yet' being the key word, a voice in the back of my mind whispered. I quickly stifled it, not needing to deal with false thoughts being planted in my mind.

But then I began to wonder… was it really so false?

A/N: Tobias is so oblivious, like he can't even figure out that Zoë is Tris. COME ON, NUMBER DUDE, FIGURE IT OUT!
