Step Up Divergent

Stay with me

Tris POV

I stand in front of the mirror afraid to remove the fog. I haven't looked at my reflection in such a long time. As many times as I try to shower I can't see the same person. I inhale a breath...I wipe the mirror with my hand. I gasp.

I look tired...ugly...I don't know what Tobias sees in me. I'm not worth his time. I study the birds on my collar that cover the hickey Drew left on me that night.

After coming out of the hospital I headed towards the tattoo parlor to get a tattoo. To bad no one will ever see the art. I duck down to grab my clothes. I think I'll have to borrow some of my mom's for today. I place it in the basket on my way out. I cut off the lights and look up. A figure sits on my mom's bed.

I swallow hard. I switch the lights on and I am relieved that it's Tobias...what is he doing here? He looks at me a little embarrassed. I try to cover most of what I'm showing. I can tell he's trying to keep his eyes off of my skin but he is a guy.

"I...I didn't expect to see you like this" he stutters. I look back into the bathroom.

"Well what else did you think...I just got out of the shower" I say.

"I thought you'd taken clothes or something" right. He stands up. I take a step back into the bathroom. "We need to talk...Tris this isn't like a movie where you walk away without speaking to me in days...I won't let you go away before you speak to me"

"Well what do y-" I stop. A door closes downstairs. I walk over towards the door and slowly open it. I close it immediately. My dads here "cut the lights" I whisper. He does so. I open it again. This time I hear footsteps.

"Run into the room" he says. I nod and pull him by the arm. He closes the door. I open the door to my bedroom. It's dark and freezing. I rush over to my closet. That's when I realize I took all my clothes to dauntless...well Caleb took it.

"Crap" I whisper. He closes the door.

"What's wrong?"

"My clothes..." I look at him "I took it all to dauntless" his lips part. He grabs the sheets off my bed "no" I say. He furrows his eyebrows.

"Tris, it's cold in here...you need to-"

"No, I don't want to" I say. I look around the room. I don't want to be in here with Tobias. He walks over to me but I step back.

"Tris...what makes you think I will do anything to you?" I look around searching for anything "I'll go get you something alright" he walks over to the door.

"Wait..." he turns around "stay with me?" He let's out a sigh. I know I shouldn't be asking this...but strangely I'm afraid of my own father but not of Tobias.

"Do you have any blankets in here" I shrug.

"My mom might have chosen a couple for me...I guess there are some" he nods. He begins to search the closet. I sit down on the ground. I close my eyes. I yelled for help but no one came...not even Peter...

"Found something" I open my eyes and he takes the blankets off of the bed. He places the new covers on the bed.

"Come lie down" I stand up and walk towards the bed. I glance at the cloth that once held me still. Somehow I'm able to sit "I'm calling Christina so she can bring you clothes...after that we can leave" I nod. He removes his jacket and hands it to me.

"Aren't you cold" I ask.

"No" he shakes his head but I can tell the tension in his body.

Tobias POV

She still hasn't covered herself. I glance at her. She seems unstable. I hate to see her this way. I stop my eyes from staring at her cleavage. I walk towards her and pull a chair up in front of her.

"Tris" she looks up "we still haven't talked have we?"

"No..." she laughs. A hysterical laugh "I still can't believe my dad hasn't cleaned this room"

"I'm not telling you to do anything but...maybe your dads hurt with what happened...he's hurting too Tris"

"No he's not...if he was he wouldn't have let me leave with you guys...he would've told me to stay with them"

"Tris, I know you've gone through so many things...and out of all those things you decide to look at the bad stuff rather then then the good things..." I laugh a little "I'm sorry to tell you this way but this is something you will live with the rest of your life...nothings going to change that...you can't change the past...but you need to understand that there are still people who love you...you are living now and you need to learn to dance in the rain"

"You realize what you're asking me to do? Don't you realize that we've only met each other like what for three months? I had a nice life till I met you" ouch.

"And even though I've known you for that long I'm still here for you...there's going to be a time where you are left alone...you still have time to save yourself from being left alone" I grab the sheet from her bed and bring it over her shoulders. She takes it "you can't be waiting for me to do something...you're alive but you're dying inside"

"I don't know how..." her voice breaks. The door opens and she wipes her eyes. Christina closes the door.

"I got in by telling him I lost an ear ring here" she smiles. It drops once she sees Tris.

"I brought you some clothes and makeup" Tris looks up and smiles. Of course Christina would know how to cheer her up.

"I think we can do the makeup later...she's cold" I say.

"Right...turn around will you Tobias" I do as I'm told.

"What's up with the underwear?" Tris says.

"Oh just put it on"

"Jeans? Seriously?"

"Yes...now slide them on" I breath out.

"Can I turn around now?" I ask.

"Yes" Tris slides her shirt down covering her belly button. She looks up.

"Can we go now?" She asks. I nod. She hands me my jacket.

"I'll go down now" Christina says. She walks out and closes the door behind her.

"Let's go" I gesture towards the door. She places on her flats. She walks over to the door and walks out into the balcony. I close the door behind us. A ladder waits for us.

"Wow you planned just about everything" she looks up at me and I smile "thanks...for everything" she smiles. I pull her against me and bring my lips to hers. She seems to pull back a little but I can tell she fights it off. I touch my forehead to hers.

"We'll get through this...together" she nods and looks up at me. I smile back when I note the color back on her cheeks. She looks beautiful. I brush her hair over her ear and plant a kiss on her forehead.

Awww...How was the chapter? Comment. Vote. This isn't the end...remember what I said...Laurens not their only problem...well she's gone now but is she really?
