If I had met you in grey

Chapter 57

Tris POV
"Tris." I hear tobias says as I put my dirty clothes away. "Hey." "Can I show you something before we go to bed and while there's no one here?" He asks. "Sure." I tell him and he smiles slightly. He walks over to his bed and I sit across from him. He begins to take off his shirt. "Woah! You said showing me something not undressing!" I joke and I hear him chuckle. He takes his shirt off revealing a back full of swirling ink. It's mesmerizing and beautifully done.

"The factions." I say touching my fingertips to the dauntless symbol and moving down to the Abnegation. "Why do you have all of them?" I ask looking at the eye representing erudite. "I don't want to be just one thing. I can't be. I want to be brave, I want to be selfless, intelligent, honest and kind." He says and turns to look at me. His eyes are matched up with mine and looking into the sea of blue I see all he has inside of him. Love, pain, kindness, sorrow, selflessness, scars from his past.

"It's a beautiful tattoo." I say and he smiles. "Thanks." He whispers and our lips touch. I don't know how long we stand there together but soon people start to trickle in and start to find there beds. We had pulled back when the first person began to walk in, "Hey tris!" Chris says waving to me as she walks to her bed. "Hey." I respond. I see Zeke and uriah talking with tobias probably giving him a hard time for not going zip lining. "Ready for tomorrow?" Chris asks. I almost forgot, it's my fear landscape tomorrow. "I guess." I say swallowing my nerves. "You'll be fine!" She try's to reassure me. I laugh a little and soon everyone is starting to fall asleep or at least in bed. The lights turn off and I'm soon out as well.

••••••••Time lapse+ Tobias POV••••••
"I've given you everything!" He screams. "I tried to teach you!" I feel the belt connect with my back with a rush of searing pain. I moan out and drop to the floor. "Your worthless! Your worthless! Your-" I jerk awake covered in sweat and shaking. "Tobias are you okay??" Tris whispers. I hadn't noticed her sitting up looking my way. "I.. I.." I stutter. Tris gets out of bed and takes my hand. "Come here." She whispers and I follow her. We walk to the chasm and sit where we did the time we kissed here. "Nightmare I assume. What was it about?" Tris asks looking at me. She shows signs of concern and sympathy. "It was Marcus." I mumble and tris tilts my chin so I'm looking at her.

"He kept yelling things at me, and the belt still flew the way I remember." I tell her and she touches my cheek with her thumb. "Your okay now. He won't hurt you anymore. Even in nightmares and your fear landscape, he can't hurt you anymore." She says. "How'd you know he was in my fear landscape?" I ask her. "Well if he wasn't I'd be surprised. I had a feeling he'd show up though, it's not something you can't really go through life forgetting." She says. For the first time in my life I fell like someone understands, She gets me, she understands. Even though she doesn't know the pain, the horror, she understands.

"Thank you." I tell her and she smiles. "I love you Tobias and I won't let him hurt you anymore. You won't have to see him let alone feel his touch ever again." She says. I know the last part about seeing him she can't promise but it doesn't matter. "Thank you tris." I say again and she kisses me softly. "Come on. Let's gets some rest." She says and we walk hand in hand back to the dorms.
