Tobias POV
I shake the door handle to realize it's locked. Then I grab the key and jam it into the nob until the door opens. I barge in and see her about to grab a knife. "Tris, no!" I yell and grab her by the waist with her arms pinned at her side. As I move her away from the knife, she struggles in my grasp while flinging her feet around, doing everything she can to get out of my arms.
"Tris...no....," I say between her struggles. "Tobias! Let go!" She cries. "Don't. Touch. The. Knife," I say threateningly. "I have to! Let go!" I continue to hold her. "Tris, no you don't. You feel like you do because that's what you've been doing for years, but you don't. I'm not going to let you," I say firmly. She's still struggling but not as hard.
"Please, Tris. Just stop and you don't have to do this," I say. I'm not trying to talk her out of it completely, just baby steps, just this time right now. "Please, baby. You don't need to hurt yourself. Please," I say quietly and softly into her ears.
As if my words are a trance, she slowly stops struggling and begins to be rigid in my arms.
I feel my eyes close in relief, and kiss the top of her head. She stays in the the position she's in, not facing me, her back against my chest. "I love you," I say against her head.
We go back to the room and she lays in my lap, her small head against my large chest.
I look over, relived to see Zeke and Uriah asleep, not having heard what just happened.
As another thing of thunder booms, her head buries itself farther into my chest. "It's okay. I got you."
