What could have happend

Chapter 4 - Job choosing

Tris POV

I wake up to an arm hanging over my waist, Tobias. Yesterday we moved my things. Everyone already got an apartment, the size you could choose was determined by your rank. Most of the initiates already bought a small apartment with the credits they still had. I carefully move out of Tobias's grasp, hoping he won't wake up. Lucky for me, he doesn't. I go to the bathroom and take a shower. Standing under the hot water I can't help but think about today, and what job I want to choose and which job I'm expected to choose.

I turn the water off and reach for the towel, shit. I forgot to bring a towel. I carefully peek my head out of the bathroom and I see Tobias still asleep. As silent and fast as I can I grab a towel and I hear the bed shift just as I close the bathroom door. Did he see me? I'm still not over my 7th fear and I'm super self-conscious. 

I hear a thud in the bedroom, as I finish getting dressed. I quickly walk out of the bathroom to see what is going on and see Tobias lying on the ground

"Tobias, are you okay?" He doesn't move. Oh no no no no no, he slipped over the wet floor there is no doubt about that and now he is lying on the ground. I rush to him and feel for a pulse, thank god. I see the corner of his mouth trembling a bit. His eyes flutter open and he bursts out laughing.

"You can't scare me like that!" I yell, tears flowing freely out of my eyes. He stares at me his eyes looking guilty. He stands up walks towards me and wraps me in his arms. I bury my head in his chest and smell his scent, the scent I associate with safety and comfort. The smell of Tobias. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you that bad" I hear him mumble. My tears flowing slowly out of my eyes. They are no longer tears of sadness and worry out of fear that I might lose him,  those tears made place for tears of relief, and joy that I didn't, I didn't lose him.

I wake up, cold, with no Tris beside me. I see the silhouette of her figure coming out of the bathroom disappearing in the darkness of the room, probably searching for a towel. When she appears in the dim light of the bathroom again, I see her figure, gosh she's beautiful. I sit up and get out of bed. I walk to the closet and feel the wet floor under my feet. I slip and land with a thud on the floor. I groan quietly and decide to trick Tris a little. I close my eyes as she walks out of the bathroom and I can almost hear her freeze.

"Tobias, are you okay?" I hear her soft voice ask. I hear her rush to me and feel for a pulse. I can't keep my mouth from trembling a bit, and my eyes flutter open, feeling guilty I probably scared her half to death. I can't help myself from bursting out laughing. It only lasts a second though, as I see her beautiful eyes red and puffy, I can see it even in the dark.

"You can't scare me like that!" She yells trying to sound angry but it comes out scared and relieved. I jump up and walk towards her, I wrap her in my arms, and mumble "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you that bad"

For the first time in two years, someone cries in my arms so that my shirt is soaking wet. The last time my shirt was wet from tears Olivia cried in my arms, now it's tris. I think of Olivia every day, I could never forget her even if I knew she was safe. Visiting day is soon, I'm going to go to the visiting day of Abnegation just to see if I can talk to Olivia I miss her so much and I'm so worried about her. I'm going even if that means running into, him.

Tris pulls away and looks at my watch, her eyes widening. "What?"

"We are going to be late, come on!" She yells panicked.  We both slip into our shoes and run together to the cafeteria.

We burst through the doors just as Max begins his speech and congratulates all initiates, who are now official Dauntless members. Tris nervously shifts her weight from one foot to the other, Christina walks to the front and presses her name on the screen. There pop up a couple of jobs you can choose from, she chooses to work as an initiate trainer and a nurse. Then it's Will's turn, he chooses to work in the control room. Peter chooses to work at the fence, and Marlene chooses to work as a nurse, just like Christina. Lynn chooses to work as a faction ambassador, which surprises a lot of us. Uriah is an initiate trainer and a faction ambassador. Then it's Tris's turn.

After Christina, Will, Peter, Marlene, and Uriah chose their jobs it is my turn. I walk to the screen wiping my sweaty hands on my pants. I tap my name on the screen and every job possible in Dauntless are standing on a list. I press on initiate trainer and I need to choose another job. I look at all the jobs, I am thinking about the tattoo parlor. What do I choose?

"Choose where your heart is" It are my mother's words that echo through my head, choose where my heart is, I want to help people but not be too important. My finger floats over the options and it lands on, faction ambassador. The same job as Uriah, which I'm happy about he has become like a brother to me since I met him. Smiling I walk off the stage, I get a hug from Uriah and he whisper yells in my ear "We work together!"

"Thanks, Uriah, now I've gone deaf" He shoots me a guilty look but as quick as it comes it disappears and makes room for his big smile.
