Empty With You

Four and I walked back to the compound. There were people all around the Pit tonight. It's like it was a buzz of pre graduation celebrations. If one would even call it a graduation.

Plus there was talk about Marcus. And of course for some reason Candor. It felt like eyes were upon both Four and I as we walked in but everyone else barely noticed.

We made our way towards Shauna and Zeke when I seen him. He was laughing at this table of some of the ruder Dauntless were. Plus with this super blonde girl hanging all over him.

My heart shattered, it broke heart so much that he barely knew this girl and I don't know. I felt like I didn't even compare to her.

"Ari, are you-" Shauna started when she looked towards my direction to see the girl start a makeout session "oh. That's Meg"

"What?" I turned towards her as I shook my head. "Yeah no it's whatever. "

"Ari, we can-" Zeke started as i snapped.

"I'm fine. I just need some air."

I moved away from my spot and walked past Eric to stare him down. It felt like I was moving in slow motion as I watched him and headed out the side door of the pit. I walked to the edge of a railing and felt like ripping it off the cement but knew that wouldn't happen.

I let out loud scream into the city as i snuck down against the railing to catch my breath

"Is there a problem Ariana?" I heard Max ask from above me.

I lifted my head to see him standing there with stern look on his face. "No just personal matters."

"I've had a few other Dauntless say you've been making threats against them." He crossed as i stared at him.

"You mean Meg?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't talk to her."

"You do understand-" Max started as a door creaked open.

"There you are" Eric smiled as he walked over to me. "What's going on?"

"Your new toy thinks I've threatened her" i glared at him.

"Of course not, " Eric smirked and looked towards Max. "Meg over exaggerates. Ariana doesn't talk to her."

"Alright," Max sighed and shook his head and mumbled about drama as he left.

Eric waved him off as he turned back to me and I rolled my eyes. "You're welcome."

"I didn't need your help" i mumbled as he just snickered.

"You're so stubborn."

"And you're a dick," I shrugged as i walked past him as he grabbed my arm.

"So this is about Meg?" Eric watched me as I shook my arm back and let out a sigh .

"I shouldn't care anymore. Hell, I don't care " i looked over at him. "But you all the sudden choose to move onto this whore-"

"She's not a who-" he started but i cut him off.

"Because you know her so well!" My eyes shot daggers at him. "She has it out for me because we had something. "

"That's a reach" Eric almost laughed.

"Is it though?" I crossed him as he gave me a look and moved closer to him.

I got closer to him and pressed my body against his. I knew what I was doing. I could feel him tense as he tried not to react to me.

"She doesn't know you like i do," i leant up on my toes to kiss his neck. "And if she wants to make veiled threats-" i nipped that flesh next to his ear lobe. "Then game on"

"Ari-" Eric breathed out as I moved away from him.

"I will always love you," i stared him down. "But the second you put your hands on my neck that time, I will just be the one you crave but won't have."

I started to turn when he called at my name.

"You know, Four won't make you happy" Eric tried to get some reaction.

"Who said I was dating Four?" I smirked. "All this time and you're still jealous. Maybe it's good Meg feels threatened. Because she knows she'll never have you."

I turned to walk away from him and this time when I walked back in, i smirked at Meg. I knew she was pissed but i didn't care. I made my way back over to Four, Zeke, and Shauna and sat by Four.

"Are you ok" Four questioned as I took a deep breath in.

"Short answer, no" i looked at him with a faint smile, "but i will be"

The four of us hung out for a while before we all went our separate ways before our night curfew. I was walking with Four along the streets. It was quiet, calm, beautiful.

I felt fingers slip into mine as I smiled and looked at him.

"Bold move," i giggled as he ran a thumb across the back of my hand.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

"Don't be" i smirked.

"You're still in love with Eric?" He questioned as we walked.

"A part of me always will" i shrugged but tugged on his arm to get him to look at me. "But it doesn't mean, we can't try this thing out."

"Thing?" Four raised am eyebrow.

"Aww come on," i smirked. "You can't feel it too? That spark, the rush?"

A smile cracked his lips as he pulled me into him. "I don't think you've ever had a proper night out."

"What do you have in mind?" I held his arm.

"You'll see," he kissed the side of my head as we kept our walk in the streets.
