Reunited (FOURTIS)

Chapter 2

Tobias.

My face scrunches up so tight my muscles burn around my face. My feet are searing with pain. A weird growling noise leaves the back of my neck, for a moment I didn't even know I made it. Which made goosebumps prickle on the back of my neck and back. I kick away shards of the broken beer bottle, limping my way back to the couch I always sit in. It was torn and old but I couldn't get rid of it.... Me and Tris shared a few kisses on this. The nice nights when I had my arm slung around her. Now it's just me. In a pitch black apartment that hasn't been cleaned in who knows how long, a mini fridge beside me running on electricity and a few packs of bud weiser stacked and a fresh bottle of wine. I don't drink wine but if I run out of beer I will drink it. To drown my grieve in alcohol. It's silent for a minute while I wrap an ace bandage around my leg the pain blinding, slow and silent tears escape my eyes one on one creeping down my cheeks. The silence is almost more deafening then screaming. It's lonely. I'm lonely. That's when there's a soft knock on the door. If I wasn't careful I wouldn't of heard it. I don't know who it is but I had my suspicions it was probably Zeke. He always comes over trying to get me to party with him or get out and do something, but I reject every time and make up a reason I can't go like.. "I'm sick" or "I'm too tired". I peak my eye out the peep hole to see... Christina?. I shrug my shoulders and unlatch the one lock on the door...

"Hey... Christina?" I almost ask even though it was obviously her with her short dark colored hair and piercing brown eyes. She's exceperienced almost as much pain as I have. So I respect her for still being here and healthy.

"Tobias!" She yells happily her arms instantly wrapping around me.

I hesitate. My eyes open wide and it takes me a few seconds to wrap my arms loosely around her waist.

"I have so much to tell you Tobias. I've missed you...." She trails off at the end and I knew she was hiding something but I was to afraid to ask.

"Why... Don't you come in... Just to warn you my place has seen better days" I state it as a clear fact my hand scratching the back of my neck awkwardly.

She nods and laughs a little but it sounded more forced.. "YA so has mine believe it or not." With that she pushes past me and steps into my cluttered apartment. Her face doesn't show disgust or anything but I know she's probably screaming "HELP ME!" In the back of her head.

She stands, awkwardly, we don't seem to communicate the same, she seems nervous around me. I wonder why....

"Please... Sit" I motion to the couch, I sit on it casually and she finds her way sitting next to me.

She looks like she is thinking for a minute, and I feel like she is just trying to get me to feel anxious. She tucks in a piece of stray hair behind her ear and clears her throat while I squint my eyes concentrating on her face.

"Tobias... I'm GONNA be straight forward.. I didn't come here to just see you and catch up. I know your hurting and I am to but the real thing I need to tell you is... I think Zeke may of been captured".
