Tris POV
"Caleb," I hear myself say, "What are you doing here?"
"What is he doing here? Who is he, Beatrice?" He looks disgusted at Tobias. I look at Tobias, and he is trying his best to keep his anger inside.
"Not that you have anything to do with it, but this is Four, my boyfriend." This was not how I expected to introduce my boyfriend to my brother.
"But Caleb, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in Eriudite?" I ask, confused.
"What do you mean? We are in erudite. You were shot in your ankle with an unusual bullet. And we have no idea how, but it damaged your muscles. The second bullet was a normal bullet, though, but because the bullet in your ankle ripped up the muscle you need to walk, you needed muscle-to-muscle stitching, and that surgery can only be performed at erudite" I sigh, oh goody, we'll be here for a while, now my brother can get to know my boyfriend.
When I'm finally alone again with Tobias after we talked for a while with Cara and Caleb. The first thing Tobias says is, "Did you see that? He was flirting with Cara like crazy, and then shaming you that you can't have a boyfriend because you're too young!" He scoffs."He probably said that because he thinks Dauntless are crazy or dangerous. Who am I kidding? It's probably both!" Upset, he stands up, walks to the window, stands there for a second, then sits down again.
"Tobias, he doesn't know you, and let me remind you that he put up the act of a perfect abnegation his whole childhood. But if there was one thing that always shined through the act, it was that he is very judgemental. He would judge me for not being abnegation enough. He always was and probably still is fast to judge someone, anyone, not just you." We both stay silent for a while, knowing that talking would say less than the silence.
"Tris, why you?"
"Why me, Tobias? Why not me? I'd rather have it be me being shot in my leg than that someone else, anyone, is like this or worse."
"Tris, you need surgery, what do you mean worse? What could be worse than the pain and injury you're now suffering?"
"Dead" I state simply. Before I know it tears are rolling down my cheeks,
"I could've been dead Tobias, I don't want to die!" I yell, now hysterical crying. With tears rolling down my face at record speed and sobbing so hard I barely get any air. He wraps me in his strong arms and instantly I feel a lot safer. He just holds me while I sob into his chest.
"You're not going to die," He says soothingly while planting a kiss on my head. He lays his chin on top of my head and he just holds me. And he doesn't need to do anything else. After a while, I'm a little calmed down and I realize that he is special, even if he isn't special to anyone else he is special to me. Why me? What did I do to deserve him? He had the option to choose anyone else and he chose me. Why?
"Did you know I love you?" he mumbles
With a smile on my face, I answer him in a soft whisper "Yes I know. What I don't know and want to know is what in the world I ever did to deserve you."
"Nothing. Just being you, you're brave, selfless, kind, smart, the person I fell in love with."
Wow, that's deep. After a little while of silence, I just whisper,
"I love you too Tobias, I love you for just being you and I love you for everything you've been through that made you, you."
We just lay there together, slowly dozing off. The last thing I feel before falling asleep in his arms is a little kiss placed on my temple.
Tobias POV
I hold her in my arms for who knows how long, her words echoing through my head. I feel sleep pulling at me. I place a kiss on Tris's temple before we both fall asleep. Laying here with Tris in my arms gives me a feeling I've never felt before. I've never felt this sort of feeling of belonging somewhere, such a feeling of home, because home is not often a place, it's a person. It's Tris.
Hii first of all I want to apologize for updating this late and on top of that this chapter is shorter than usual. I had a little difficulty writing this chapter. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanks for all the support and votes, it gives me motivation to keep writing. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, if you have any feedback I would love to hear it!
Be brave,
