Read author's note at the end! I don't own Divergent.

Chapter 20

TRIS' POV

It has been weeks since I have been rescued from Marcus and I'm starting to feel a lot better. My wounds have mostly healed except for the really nasty ones that still need to be taken care of. Luckily, I don't have a lot of scars on my face but there is only one scar but it's not that noticeable. Well, my friends say so but when I look at myself in the mirror, I can see the scar that lines the top of my forehead. I can cover it with concealer but it still doesn't erase the fact that it's still there. My wrist, ankle, and leg are better and I can use them again but I can't put too much pressure on it so I have to take it easy for a bit until my wrist, ankle, and leg fully heal.

I was also able to go back home with Tori and Bud and my friends would visit me often during my recovery. I would say the only thing that has been hard are my nightmares. They plague me almost every night and it's hard to go back to sleep afterwards for I'm too shaken up by them. They are always about Marcus coming back for me and finishing what he had started, which was killing me. I've been reassured many times by Tori, Bud, and Tobias that Marcus can't get me anymore but it doesn't stop the nightmares.

Marcus died a few days after I woke up. The bullet was close to his heart and when the doctors were doing surgery, Marcus's heart stopped and he died. They tried to revive him but when Marcus's heart didn't start, the doctors declared him dead. I was happy when I heard the news, knowing that Marcus won't be able to hurt me anymore. Of course, the day after he died, that's when the nightmares started. I think its Marcus's way of hurting me, even after his death.

Tobias has been very supportive and he's always been there for me. He's been staying with me a lot lately to help with the nightmares. When Tobias wraps his arms around me, I feel safe and secure and I can sleep peacefully through the night. He's been doing it a lot and we always play the 'who's going to sleep at who's house' game. My parents and Tobias's parents don't really care for its helping me get through the nights with no bad dreams or anything.

When I went back to school, I was surprised that the bullies didn't bother me. I think Tobias did something for whenever he was with me, the bullies never talked to me. Even when he wasn't with me, the bullies didn't tease me or anything. I was further convinced when I saw Eric's state and Christina explained to me what Tobias did to him. At least my life can finally get back to normal.

"Can I at least know where we're heading?" I ask Tobias for the millionth time. After school, Tobias dragged me to the car and started driving off. When we passed my house, I knew something was up but when I asked him, Tobias just chuckled and said it was a surprise.

"I told you, it's a surprise," answers Tobias.

I groan, leaning against the seat. "Do I get a hint?"

"Nope."

"I hate this." I cross my arms over my chest, pouting.

Tobias chuckles. "You're cute when you do that."

I glare at him. "You better have a good reason for doing this or else you're not getting any kisses from me tonight."

Tobias dramatically gasps. "What? You don't trust your own boyfriend?"

I smirk. "So far, you haven't given me anything to trust you."

Tobias grabs my hand and brings it to his lips, placing a kiss on it. "You'll like it, I promise. Besides, we're here." I look up to see that we've arrived at a diner.

"What are we doing here?" I ask. "Are you taking me out on a date?"

"No." Tobias gets out of the car then walks over to my side, opening my door. "Tobias, what's going on?" Instead of answering, he holds out his hand. I sigh, taking his hand and he helps me out of the car. We walk towards the diner and when Tobias opens the door and I walk in, my friends and family jump out. "Surprise! Happy birthday, Tris!" I'm shocked at first but a smile spreads across my face. "How did you know?"

"We got all your information when we adopted you," Tori says. "Including when your birthday was."

"And when's the last time you had a surprise birthday party?" asks Zeke. "So we reserved this diner for the night for you."

"How?"

"Our mom owns the diner," answers Uriah. "So when she heard it was your birthday, she let us have the diner for the night."

An older woman comes out of the kitchen with Natalie and they are talking with each but they stop when they see me. "You must be Tris!" the woman exclaims, running over to me, engulfing me in a big hug. "It's so nice to meet you. Happy birthday, sweetie. My name is Hana, mother of these two troublemakers." Hana refers to Zeke and Uriah.

"We're not troublemakers!" yells Zeke and Uriah.

"Yeah right," mumbles Lynn.

"Who had to bail you two out of mail?" Hana asks them. "I swear, I'm worried what will happen when you two go off to college."

"All right, let's not talk about college," says Natalie. "This is Tris's day."

"Yeah, come on, Tris," Christina says, grabbing my hand and pulling me over to the table loaded with lots of food. That day was the day I'll never forget.

FIVE YEARS LATER

I'm standing on the balcony of the house, staring at the sunset. I can feel the sun on my face as I close my eyes, breathing in the fresh summer air. A kick makes a smile spread across my face. I open my eyes and look down, rubbing my swollen stomach. "I can't wait to meet you, little one," I tell my unborn child. "I hope you look just like your father."

"I disagree," a voice says. I turn around to see Tobias standing there, a smile on his face. "I hope the baby looks like you." He walks over and wraps his arms around me, holding me as close as he can.

Tobias and I got married two years ago after three years of dating. I'm now official Mrs. Tris Prior and for now, I'm going to be a stay at home mom. Tobias is a history teacher at the local high school in Coal City, IL. We decided to move from the big city to a small town. There isn't much to do here and we are just surrounded by corn fields. But it's very peaceful here and there isn't a lot of commotion that goes on in Coal City. Plus, the school isn't that far from where we live so we can walk our kids to school.

"What are you doing out here?"

"I'm just enjoying the sunset." I turn back to see the orange-pink sun setting behind a group of trees. The sky is decorated with pink, orange, and purple colors. "It's pretty."

"You should probably get inside. I wouldn't want you to catch a cold."

I raise an eyebrow at him. "It's the middle of July, Tobias. I think I'll be fine."

"Still, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you or the baby."

"Tobias, I'm fine." I place my hand on the side of his face. "I promise I'll let you know if I feel anything." It's getting close to my due date and Tobias is freaking out at the tiniest of things like if I feel a hard kick or if I'm walking up and down the stairs and I slip a little. I catch myself but Tobias starts freaking out and I have to reassure him I'm ok.

"Ok, I just want to be sure."

I smile. "You're going to be a great dad."

"And you're going to be a great mother." I've had my doubts about starting a family for I fear that I'm going to end up like Marcus but Tobias has reassured me numerous times that I'm nothing like that monster. When I ask him how, he says he can tell by the way I interact with the baby. I always talked to the baby and told the baby many stories about our lives and how he or she will like Coal City.

"Tobias, I never did thank you," I start, staring at him.

"What are you talking about?" asks Tobias.

"If you hadn't come and see me that one day five years ago, I would still be stuck with Marcus or worse. It was because of you that I have the life I'm living now." I smile brightly. "I love you, Tobias Prior."

Tobias smiles. "I love you too, Tris Prior." We share a kiss and walk back into the house, hand in hand.

That is the end of this story! Now, before any of you ask, there is a town called Coal City, IL. It's actually where I lived for most of my life. :)

Anyway, I would love to thank everyone who has read/favorited/followed this story. I especially thank everyone who has reviewed this story. I would not be here if it wasn't for you guys. You are all amazing! Now, I've gotten questions from viewers saying if I'm going to stop writing. Not in a long shot! I will still continue writing. However, I do have some news...depending on how you take it, it may sound like bad news.

After I finish Searching for You, I'm taking a break from writing Divergent fanfics. Before you all freak out, I have a good reason. I find it extremely difficult to write two stories at once when I'm at college. For those of you that remember Bittersweet, you know what I'm talking about. So, after Searching for You is done, I'm going to work on my Ronin Warriors fanfics. I finished the first book, Never Alone, last week and I have two more books planned. I'm going to write those two first and then come back to Divergent. I do have a Divergent fanfic in mind but I would rather get my Ronin Warriors fanfics done. If any of you have heard of Ronin Warriors, go check out Never Alone. It's my first book of the trilogy.

Please don't ask how long I'm going to be away from Divergent. I honestly have no idea. It all depends how long it will take me to finish my other stories first. I promise I will come back but I have other priorities first. I love all you guys; you are amazing! Again, thanks to everyone who has stuck with this story from the beginning. I shall return with a Divergent story in the future but in the meantime, please check out my other stories! Also, don't forget to leave a review! Peace out, mis amigos! ;)
