Pain In The Ass (Eric Divergent Fanfic)

Let Loose

*If you can't see the music video, it's a cover of the song Echo, and it is sung by AmaLee

I take a deep breath, and Isaiah smiles as I sing.

'The clock stopped ticking forever ago.
How long have I been up?
I don't know.
I can't get a grip, but I can't let go.
There wasn't anything to hold on to though...'

I find Eric's face in the crowd, and he seems pleased. I blush as I look at him.

'Why can't I see?
Why can't I see?
All the colors that you see?
Please, Can I be-
Please, Can I be colorful and free? What the hell's going on?!
Can someone tell me, please --
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV!
I'm black, then I'm white!
No!
Something isn't right!!
My enemy's invisible!
I don't know how to fight!
The trembling fear is more than I can take when I'm up against the echo in the mirror!
Echo!'

I smile as I dance around a bit while I sing. The crowd of people are dancing and laughing, and some are cheering. Eric stands with his arms crossed, but the small movement of his body indicates that he's tapping his foot to the beat.

'I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black.
I'm gonna run away now and never look back.
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black.
I'm gonna run away now and never look back.
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black.
I'm gonna run away now and never look back.
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black. I'm gonna run away now and never look back.
I'm gonna burn my house down and never look back.
And never look back.
And never look back!'

I step off if the platform and make my way to Eric. He raises an eyebrow as I play with the strings on his hoodie.

'What the hell's going on?!
Can someone tell me please--
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV!
I' black, then I'm white!
No!
Something isn't right!
My enemy's invisible.
I don't know how to fight!'

Eric's hands go to my waist when I turn and rock my body against his. He smirks when I look up at him, and he moves his body the same way I do.

'What the hell's going on?!
Can someone tell me please--
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV!
I'm black, then I'm white!
No!
Something isn't right!
My enemy's invisible.
I don't know how to fight!
The trembling fear is more than I can take when I'm up against the echo in the mirror!
The trembling fear is more than I can take when I'm up against the echo in the mirror!'

I'm left breathless as the song finishes. I pass the microphone to the next person who wants to sing, and the song changes. Eric keeps his hands on my waist, and he kisses my neck as I continue to dance against him.

"Girl, you know how to work that body! I saw you grinding against Eric!"

"Isaiah! Keep your voice down!"

"Your voice is really pretty. Why didn't you tell us you can sing?"

"It wasn't really something I did all the time. I used to sing to my brothers to get them to sleep."

I poke at my food with my fork, and I look over my shoulder at Eric. He isn't looking at me, but he holds little to no emotion on his face as he listens to Max, another Dauntless, speak. Eric suddenly gets up from his seat, stabs a knife into the wooden surface of the table, and heads for the door of the cafeteria. He roughly taps my arm as he walks by, and I get up to follow him. I look over my shoulder at the table of leaders to see them all watching me. I hurry after Eric.
