Divergent High

Chapter 75~ Water Tower Marking

Tris POV
It's Wednesday morning, two days left of high school. Tomorrow night is prom, and Friday is graduation. I'm in the kitchen getting breakfast together for Tobias and I, while he went to shower and get ready. "Hey." I say to him as he walks into the kitchen. He comes up behind me and plants a small kiss to the top of my head and reaches into the fridge to get the juice out.

"What's that?" I ask Tobias as he sits at a bar stool by the island we have, in the kitchen. He brought out a black notebook it looks like and is writing in it with a blue pen. "It's a notebook." He says not looking up from the page. "Yeah I got that." I say and pull two plates from the cabinet.

"What's it for?" I ask dishing up the food. "For our notebook love story." He says and I place a plate next to him. "You were really serious about that?" I ask remembering him mentioning it last night.

"Yeah I was serious." He says looking at me now. "Okay, well read some to me." I tell him popping a grape into my mouth.

"This is chapter two." He says and puts his pen down.

"They met again at a party, a party filled with booze and crazy dancing. Though she never bought into any of it."

As he reads I can't help but smile. I can't tell if it's because of the memories in my mind, or that these are from his.

"She soon had no choice but to talk to him. A small closet, that would've been scary for him, but having her in there with him, well he wasn't scared. Not one bit."

It had never crossed my mind that he would've been claustrophobic in that closet, even after I knew about his fear. But he wasn't scared, because I was there. That's when my eyes get teary.

"They fell in love that night. He had already been in love with her, but know he knew that she felt the same. And that made him fall even more." Tobias reads. He reads without taking his eyes off the words, reading each sentence, each moment with the same loving emotion just as much as the next.

"That's the night, he had something he never had in his life, before that night. He had hope. He had hope for the future, hope that things would be better because he had her in his life." Tobias reads and then look over at me, I'm assuming now done with the chapter.

"I didn't know you felt that way." I say. He smiles lightly, "Yeah, I just never told you." He whispers.

"Well you should've. Because this makes you seem less... what's the word lone wolfish." I say, and he chuckles. I scotch over to sit one his lap, and he wraps his muscular arms around me, Holding me tightly.

"You're no lone wolf, you need me." I say looking up into his beautiful blue eyes. "That is true." He says smiling at me. "And you need me." He adds. I smile back at him. "That is true." I say and pull him into a kiss.

"We're skipping the last two periods." Uriah announces at lunch. I can already tell the Zeke's on board and I'm guessing Shauna is too. "Why?" I ask taking a drink of water.

"We found this awesome water tower, and we're gonna climb it." He says and I feel Tobias tense up next to me. "Yeah zeke and I packed tons of spray paint in our trunks, so we're all set!" Uriah chimes in.

"I'm in." Chris says and Marlene agrees too. Will does too, and Tobias and I are the last to agree. "I'll go." I say and I can feel Tobias's gaze on me.

"Four buddy, you in?" Zeke asks. I notice Tobias gulp, being put in the spot for something I know he doesn't want to do. "I'm in." He says and everyone starts talking about it.

"You sure?" I whisper so only he can hear me. "I don't want to, but you'll be with me." He says and I smile. "Hey if a pregnant woman's going, so can you." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Come on!" We hear Zeke yell from mid way up the steps. We're here at the rusty, white water tower, and to be honest.. its higher up than I thought it would be. "You gonna be okay? "I ask Tobias sliding my hand into his. Everyone one else is already climbing, Tobias and I are still on the ground.

Tobias takes a large breath before answering that question. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He says and half of me believes him and the other half definitely doesn't.

I grab hold of the railing with my free hand, my other one still in Tobias's. Soon we're climbing, and soon very high off the ground. Looking down, everything looks so small.

"We made it!" Uriah yells. And it's true, we're at the top and ready to mark on the town's water tower. "You okay?" I ask Tobias and he shrugs, knowing that he's not.

I see zeke checking on Shauna, and it's sweet. Everyone gets cans out and some are already painting.

"What should we write?" I ask Tobias. He smiles and grabs a can of blue spray paint, opens it and starts to spray without letting me see or know what he's writing.

Soon he's finished and I look.

You are, and always have been, my dream. ~ Tris and Four- A love story that will never end

I smile at the reference and what he wrote about us. "I love it. And I love you." I say and he turns to me, wrapping his arms around me.

Our love stories our own, nothing can change that. And I have to say, I think our love story is the best out there.

And then there, up hundreds of feet we kiss.
