ANOTHER CHANCE (Divergent Story : After Allegiant)

CHAPTER 15 : Feelings

Tobias  P.O.V.

I hear someone ask behind me, “Four, what happened?” I turn around at the voice, relief flooding through me. I have no words for the feelings I am feeling right now at that voice. The next minute, I am on my feet, running to her and embracing her. I start to cry harder when I feel her in my arms. She puts her arms around me, holding me like a lifeboat. God, I have never been more happy to see her than I do now. She is here, in my arms.

Tris….

Safe….

I pull away and kiss her feverishly. I can’t stop kissing her, and she has to break away for air. I place my forehead against hers, before she speaks again.

“Tobias, what is going on, you are scaring me.” she tells me, clear panic in her voice. I take a deep breath and start, “I came home after work and saw the door broken, standing open, the place destroyed and you missing. I thought The Bureau took you again. God, I was so scared Tris. I am just so happy you are okay.”

She looks at me and says, “Sorry, I didn’t think to call you and thought I will be home before you. I remembered Caleb just before the weapons lab incident and I needed to know if it was real or not. You weren’t here so I phoned Caleb and he picked me up. We spoke for a while and unfortunately it went longer that I thought.”

“I am so happy you were out and you remembered him. That might just have saved you from this. It is clear that someone was looking for you. I am just so happy at the moment.” I tell her, giving her another kiss.

“I am not letting you out of my sight till we catch whoever did this. You will go into the office with me for a while. I will get someone to fix the door and we will clean up later. I just want to hold you now. I love you Tris.” I tell her. I really do love her and can’t imagine my life without her. I will do anything to protect her and keep her in my life. I swing the front door closed as much as it can and lead her to the bedroom. I clean everything off the bed and lay next to Tris, holding onto her as if my life depended on it.

I stare at her face for a few minutes and she reaches out to touch my cheek. I can just imaging what I look like. I have been crying for what felt like hours before she came back. I stifle a sob, thinking that I nearly lost her again.

“Ssshhh, I am here Tobias. It’s okay. I am not going anywhere if I can help it. I am sorry I didn’t let you know before I left, that was my mistake. Maybe if I did, you wouldn’t feel this way. I am so sorry,” she says, her voice breaking at the end.

“Don’t be, it is not your fault. I am just a bit emotional at the moment, it will pass. I am going to take a quick shower, then I will phone the building maintenance people and we can perhaps get some of this stuff cleaned up.” I tell her, rolling off the bed and going into the bathroom.

I take a quick shower, just to calm my nerves and get dressed in some shorts and a t-shirt. I head out towards the bedroom and don’t see Tris. I hear someone busy in the sitting room. I go in finding her cleaning some of the stuff off the floor and setting the coffee table right again. I go to the phone and phone the repair guys. After I hang up I speak to Tris, “He will be here in 30 minutes to fix the door for us.”

“Okay,” she says while giving me a smile. I go to her and give her a hug from behind before starting to help her clean up. The repair guy come and fixes the door, I pay him and lock the door when he leaves. I am not going to make a charge, as I am not hundred percent sure who it was, even if I have a theory, and nothing was stolen. We will get the Bureau back for what they did.

We finish up throwing the last of the broken stuff away. It is already past dinner time, so I order some takeout for us. Tris seems fascinated that people deliver to your door. I wait for the food to arrive while Tris goes and takes a shower. She’s just finished when the food arrives, I pay the guy and set the food on the table. I get plates and juice for us with the food. We sit down and talk about little things, not really about what happened today.

I am just so glad she is here and that nothing bad happened. We finish and decide to watch some TV before heading to bed together. I have been sleeping next to her since she asked me to and I am all but happy to do it. I love to have her fall asleep in my arms and wake up to her beautiful face every morning.
