The struggle is real

Chapter 33: Thinking out loud

Tris pov:

After recording those songs all day today, I feel like I need to wash my mouth out with soap. If I were a parent with a teenager, I would never let them listen to this filth that I just sang out of my own mouth. Out of 12 songs on the new album, eight of them are explicit.

"Tris, we should have the name of the place your tour will start off by the end of the day. I will call you when I get the news." With that I nod and walk home in a bad mood.

VvV

I lay on bed lazily strumming my Ukulele.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me-I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

You've gotta love Ed Sheeran. I can't help but think of Tobias when I hear this song. I usually call him at least once a week, but I'm nervous to do so, after what Sam told me. But I shouldn't freak out, I still don't know if it's even true yet. She's so young. Yet, something in my gut is telling me she is right.

I hesitantly grab my laptop and slide it towards me so that it is in front of me. I go onto Skype and push Tobias's contact. It starts ringing and I compose myself.

"Hey Beautiful." I hear Tobias say as his face flashes on the screen.
"Hi handsome." I say with a soft smile.
"How has your day been." He asks.
"Terrible, since you're not here, but it's better now." I say and here "awes" in the background. "Idiots, I told you to be quiet." Tobias says looking over towards something off screen.

All of a sudden Zeke and Uriah appear on the screen. "Hi Trissy!!!!" They both shout. "Hey Pedrads." I say with laugh.
"Guys move she's my girlfriend! Go to your own home." Tobias says kicking them out of his room as I just sit there laughing. He comes back to sit in front of the camera by his window sill.
"So anyways how have you-" I hold back a laugh as Tobias speaks because through the window, I see Zeke and Uriah have climbed the tree outside, up to the second story and are waving at me and making faces behind Tobias's back.

As Tobias is still talking, I burst into laughter when both Zeke and Uriah lose their balance, and fall out of the tree. "What's so funny?" Tobias asks in confusion. I calm myself down and shake my head. "Nothing, sorry I got a bit distracted, could you repeat the question?" I say now giving him my full attention.

"I asked my how Sam is." He said.
I feel my cheeks warming up.
"Oh Sam, she's fine, I hung out with her last night and she asked where you were and I had to tell her that you went back to Chicago." I tell him. Technically I didn't lie, I just didn't tell him the part about him proposing.
"Oh okay, well tell her I said hi." He says and I just nod with a forced smile.

"So how is everything there?" I ask him. He shrugs. "Nothing special without you here. It's all just school, school, and more school." He tells me.
"I miss you." I say.
"I miss you too Tris. I can't wait until after graduation, when I get to see you." He says.
"Me too. Tobias. Me too." I say.
"TOBIAS!" Marcus screams slamming the house door.

He sighs and looks at me. "I've gotta go, I love you Tris."
"I love you too Tobias. I'll talk to you later." With that I hang up knowing what is about to come next for him.

I hear my phone ring and I pick it up and see that Max is calling.
I push answer and hold the phone up to my ear. "Hello." I say.
"Tris! Good news, your first stop for the tour will be Chicago."

Hey initiates! Sorry that this was a bit of a short chapter, but it was kind of just a filler. But, oohhhh Tris is going back to Chicago!!!!!
