A/N: Yes I know I rewrote this scene based off the book but its needed. I do not own divergent or any property of Veronica Roth.

Dauntless headquarters 0100 hours (one hour after simulation)

Tobias spun, the left heel of his boot came crashing into my shoulder. I grit my teeth, ignoring the pain that felt like someone had shoved a burning knife into my shoulder. "Tobias." My fingers close around the gun tucked in my belt.

"Tobias, it's me." I level the gun. Could I really pull the trigger?

Before I can react he's on me again, his fists seem to come from all directions. I wince as I catch another left jab in the shoulder followed my two more expertly thrown punches to the stomach. The gun falls from my grasp. For a second I look at him, his conflicted dark eyes as he lunges for the gun.

I kick out catching him in the chest, he several pounds heavier but I manage to throw him just far enough to use my other leg to kick the gun out of his reach.

Get up tris, get up. I force myself to my feet, my legs feel like lead and my arms feel like they've spent a day at a badly trained acupuncturist. Tobias is already up, circling me. I aim a punch at his jaw followed a high kick. He weaves past the first and catches the heel of my boot with his palm. I force more strength into my legs but it doesn't move an inch. I see the gun behind me, if I could just reach it. He raises his fist. In desperation instincts take over, I let gravity do the work and fall, tucking into a back roll. My foot is pulled free, pulling Tobias forwards. Caught out by this he stumbles a few steps.

I reach for the gun just as he moves.

I just manage to grab the gun as his foot makes contact with my jaw, my forehead snaps backwards as I'm thrown into a wall behind me. I cry out as a sharp pain pierces the back of my skull. My vision in no longer clear, I fumble with the gun but somehow I manage to level it with Tobias, either that's Tobias or a pillar I can no longer tell the difference. It won't matter, I can't shoot him, and I'd never shoot him. I loved him too much or at least I think that's why, if someone beats the living daylights out of you and tries really hard to kill you and you still can't shoot him then you either love him or you're nuts.

"Tobias, I know you're somewhere in there." He's inches away from me now.

"Tobias, don't" Just as he goes for the gun I scythe his legs from underneath him. Panting I press the gun to his head. I can't do it. Hot tears stream down my face.

I do the craziest thing in my life; I press the gun into his palm. He presses the barrel to my temple, The bullet clicks in the chamber I could hear the soft metallic tinkle of lead sliding down. Tobias he scowls at me for a second the iron grip on the trigger falters. He flings the gun across the room, before I can stop him he gives a roar of confusion, his hands are clutching his head like he's suffering from migraine.

"Tobias?" He barrels past me towards a window, it shatters as he hurls himself out of it into the night, I see a receding shadow race across the next building.

BANG BANG BANG. The door is practically hammered off its hinges as Caleb comes bursting into the room an assault rifle in his hands.

"Beatrice?" he asks lowering his weapon.

"Did you find Four?"

I look at him and then at the Tobias shaped hole in the window. I didn't know what to tell him, my mind was still trying to comprehend the events that had just transpired. I wiped the tears from my face. I slump against the wall. I remembered the look on his face, something had snapped. "I think." Caleb sat down beside me , his assault rifle forgotten by his side. "I think I may have just broke my boyfriend."
