AN: Ok here is an update and there will be so many more to come. thats all i have to say so ill move on now and get to it ;)

Tris POV:

I couldn't take it anymore, the lies, the pain it doesn't stop, it aches so much, it burns my heart and messes with my head. I run and run every step easing the pain, i dont know where i am running, i am just following my feet, hoping they will take me to my get away, a safe place. When my feet finally stop, i am surrounded by tall shadows and then it hits me, im lost. i ran so far, so fast, i didnt realise i needed to stop. I dont know where i am, i shouted out for somebody, but my words just echoed and faded as if they never existed. I was well and truely alone. But it was peaceful, i ecsaped my troubles, no more uriah, no more four. I can be by myself, somebody will find me, sooner or later. I sit down on a bench and put in my headphones, and listen to troye sivans song, happy little pill and without realising i let myslef slip away into the backround and fall into my own imaginations and dreams, where i dont have to listen to the fights, dont have to be who i dont want to, i can be the girl i always wanted to. Hours later i feel somebodys fist collide with my face, and i am instantly snapped back to reality. I open my eyes to see peter sat next to me
"what do you want?" i huffed with obvious annoyance in my voice. I hate what he did to me, he gave me false hope, i thought i found him again, but he shrugged me off faster than he left me in the field that day."I still care, you know, about you, your like my sister, im sorry, i never returned to you that day and im sorry i pushed you off, im an idiot, and im begging for your forgiveness, i know there isnt a big reason, but i honestly want to help you, i know more about this than you think, ive been there when you dont think i am, a protective shadow, watching over you, keeping you safe, i can help you, you dont have to be with either or those, or me, you can be what you want, im here to help" peter ends his speak and smiles weakly at me. i over think his words, especially where he said he would help me be who i want, i can be what i want, i can be the girl i always wanted to, now i have my protectioin.
"do you really mean it?" i ask him lighting up slightly.
"always, i will never lie to you again" he says to me with a very serious tone. I start to plan it all in my head before telling him who i want to be and when i finish all he does is nod and take my hand.
"wait, how did you find me?" i asked him suddenly curious.
"you know, the thing about shadows is they are never gone, they will always be there even if you dont notice, and thats what i am, your shadow" he says blushing slightly."i thought you hated me" you said
"i could never hate you" he said as we walked off "never"
