[Chapter 46] Wedding Crashing.

Taking Evelyn's advice, I rush off at once leaving her to deal with Marcus. The wedding is being held in the Pit. I run down the stairs and jump the last few. I reach my destination with only a minute to spare.

Chairs are set in rows facing a little platform set up in the front. Tables line the walls with refreshments on them. Tris and Eric are not here, though it seems like everyone else is.

"There you are!" I turn around to find Zeke in the tux he wore to the dance."

"Hey." I say walking to them.

"I can't believe you let her do it." He says, taking a sip.

"It wasn't an easy choice." I look down at my clothes. They're the ones I wore to school yesterday. A black t-shirt and pants. Not something that you wear to a wedding.

I start to walk away to look for Tris but Zeke gets hold of my hand. "But you're Four and Tris. Together you're FourTris and everyone loves FourTris." (do you guys get it? It's from Pitch Perfect 2) Uriah who's standing near by laughs and says. "I agree."

I stare at him in disbelief and say. "I'll see you later."

I spot Christina in a black dress talking to Will, so I go to them. "Have you guys seen Tris?"

"Tobias! Hi! No, I haven't seen her. I went to her apartment to see if she wanted help getting ready but Eric was there and she sent me away."

"Eric was there?" I ask to make sure.

She nods and gives me a sympathetic look. I walk away looking for someone else who'll be able to help me. I spot Max talking to some of his friends. But I don't want to ask him. I'm still looking around for someone to question when people start to take their seats.

 I find one somewhere in the middle of the crowd so that I'm hidden from anyone who walks down the aisle. I sit there, breathing heavily waiting for the person I need to talk to.

The amity group which was hired to play the music starts to play a slow tune and soon Eric walks down the aisle, he goes to stand next to the leader on the platform who'll be in charge of the ceremony.

I sit there for what seems like years till people around me start to murmur and I turn around to look at what caused the stir. What I see makes me stop breathing.

Tris.

She's dressed in a white dress that a person that only get when they are getting married. She looks like a white flower in the sea of black. That's the reason brides are allowed to wear white. She keeps walking and soon she's just steps away from my seat.

I look away from her to look at Eric who's looking down instead of at Tris. Any sane person wouldn't have been able to pry their eyes away from her. I sit up in my seat so that I can see what caught his attention.

The sight makes my eyes widen.

He's holding a screen in his hand and is busy doing something on it. Just as Tris walks from beside my seat, everything seems to fall into place like the last piece of a puzzle being fit.

Tris has a headache yesterday because she had been injected with something. And that was done by Eric while she was asleep. Then as soon as it started to affect her, he started controlling her when she told me on the train that she was fine. From then onwards he has been controlling her.

Tris is under a simulation!

I feel myself getting out my seat and calling out. "Tris!" She stops but does not turn around to look at me which only confirms my hunch.

Eric is smirking because he knows that I can't do anything. I can feel everyone staring at me but I keep walking till I reach Tris and walk around her, so that we're facing each other.

"What do you want?" She asks me.

I turn around to Eric. "Stop it!"

He pretends to be shocked when I know the truth. I take hold of her hand but she only pulls it away. I don't try it again.

"Please..." I start to stay but she punches me in the face. I stumble backwards, holding my face.

She punches me again but I get hold of her hand and pull her forward so that we're touching each other. "Tris."

She brings up her knee but I jump back in time and avoid being kicked. She tries to walk past me but I don't let her because I know that the orders are coming from Eric.

She tries to tackle me but I manage to get hold of both her hands and block her legs with mine. This as we're sort of embracing. I don't care about the people watching. The only person I care about is her.

"No matter what decision you make or how much you hurt me, I'll always love you and I'll always be yours. I want you to know this because I love you to the moon and back."

She keeps staring at me. "And I know you do too because you said that yourself."

Tears threaten to spill but I force myself to keep speaking. "No matter what person you are now, I remember the Tris I knew and she never lied about her feelings for me. Even he said that." I motion towards Eric.

I'm still looking at him when a frown crosses his face. I turn back towards her to find tears streaming down her face. "Tris?" I ask.

Unlike before she listens to me and looks up. "I'm sorry."

A smile breaks across my face and I sweep her off her feet. When I set her back down she touches her forehead to mine and sniffs. "I'm sorry. I didn't even know what I was doing."

"Don't worry. It isn't your fault." I tell her.

"What do you think you're doing with my bride?" I turn around to find Eric stepping down from the platform and walking towards us.

"You." He says, pointing at Tris.

I at once move so that I'm standing in front of her and she's protected by my body. "How dare you?" He asks.

I say nothing and hold my ground. Tris reaches out and takes my hand. I give it a little squeeze her trying to let her know that everything's going to be alright.

"Get away from her." Eric says trying to shove me out of the way. But Tris steps around me saying. "No! You've ruined our relationship enough! I've had enough!"

She marches up to him and slaps him across his face. That's twice now. I smile as she kicks him the stomach and then continuously kicks him in the balls again and again. One kick can make someone black out but several kicks. Ouch!

He starts to look faint when I decide to step in. I hold onto her from around the waist while several other people rush forward to get him up. I hold onto Tris till she's calmed down and isn't breathing fire.

"Tobias?" Tris asks, in barely a whisper.

"Yeah?" I ask her.

"I'm wearing a wedding dress. And I don't want to take it off." She tells me.

"What do you mean?" I ask, looking around at the people sitting frozen around us.

"I mean to say that we both know how we feel about each other. So, why not make it official now? Before something else comes in the way." She says.

I know what she means, but there is one problem. "We're only eighteen. What will the people say?"

"Who cares? Huh? I mean as long as we're happy nothing else matters. And as for us being eighteen, age is just a number. Remember?"

I look at her for a second and then take her hand and start walking down the aisle when we reach the platform, I climb up and then pull her up after me. I take her hand and say. "Tris Prior I promise."

"Can you two just cut to the chase?!" I look away from Tris to find Zeke striding down the aisle towards us. At the same moment I see Evelyn arrive and she gives me a little nod which means that she approves. He gets on and stands between us.

"Do you Tris Prior take this idiot to be your wedded husband?" I shoot him an annoyed look but Tris laughs and replies. "I do."

"And do you Tobias Eaton take this beautiful angel..." Shauna cuts in. "Zeke!"

"Alright! Do you Tobias Eaton take Tris Prior to be your wedded wife?"

I don't need to think twice. "I do."

Wow! This chapter turned out to be much longer than I expected it to. Anyways, what do you guys think? Please give this chapter loads and loads of comments because I want to know what you think! Please!

 And thank you so much for the comments of the previous chapter! :) And the next update won't be any time before 3 days bc I updated 4 chapters in 4 days. So, I need a break, though I'll reply to every comment because you guys mean the world to me :)

And I'm not sure if you realized it but Tobias pulled Tris out of the simulation just like she did with  him in Divergent. I don't know if it looks like it. But that was what I was aiming for ;)
