Stay with me

Ch. 12

Tris p.o.v:
When I open my eyes, I notice that Tobias still has his strong arms around my body. We must've fallen asleep. Tobias is still sleeping. He probably didn't get a lot of sleep when I was in a coma.

I watch him sleep.  He looks so peaceful. All the stress he feels when he's awake is gone.  I look at his features of his face. From his eyes to his cheeks to his lips to his stumble in his chin.

I place my hands on his chest.  I look up at him but only focus on one thing.  His lips.

Tobias begins to stir. He slowly opens his eyes. Tobias sees me looking at him and a smile starts to grow on his face.

I place my hand to his cheek.  "Good morning, handsome." I smile.

He smiles.  "Good morning, beautiful. Oh, Tris you probably should know something." (A/N: italics is Tris's thinking) I wonder what it is? Is he hiding something? Was it something about when I was in a coma? Is he breaking up with me?!  No this is Tobias Eaton were talking about.  He pauses before continuing,"I woke up a little while ago and couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't want to wake you up, so I just stared at you for while. I finally decided to rest my eyes. And that was around the time you woke up."

He gives me a smirk. Tobias whispers the next part. "I could feel you looking at me with my eyes closed."

"Then why didn't you open you're eyes if you knew I was looking?"
"Tris I wanted to spend time with you before I have to go get the doctor. Plus, I wanted to mess with you." Tobias shifts so he's laying on his back.  He's not smiling anymore. 
"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"Tris, when I didn't open my eyes when you woke up, how did you feel? Sad? Depressed? Wanting to touch that person just one more time but you know you can't. That's how I felt every day for four weeks."

"Tobias I knew you would wake up soon. But I guess your right on the wanting to touch the person. Tobias I wanted to touch so bad when you were sleeping.  I just couldn't because I didn't want to disturb you." 

I start to cry. Tobias wipes the tears off with his thumb. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up."

"No it's fine. I want to know how you feel."  Even though I pretty much saw him in pain because of me.  I can't bring it up now since this isn't a good time. I will when I see when the conversation is turning in a way in my advantage. Tobias lifts my chin, so I have to look at him. 

"Tris, it's okay I got you now. You're never leaving me again."  He pulls me towards his body and I let my body lean into him.

My stomach starts to growl. I groan and clutch my stomach.  I didn't realize how hungry I am.  Tobias notices and gets up from the bed. 

He looks down at me.  "I'm gonna go to the cafeteria to grab you some food. Okay, Tris?"

He's still looking down at me with a concerned face.  He's probably still leery about leaving me alone since he thinks I'm too weak to defend myself if someone attacks. I can protect myself.  I smile up at him and nod.

"I'll be back as quick as I can." And with that Tobias goes towards the cafeteria to get food.

Tobias p.o.v:
I go to the cafeteria to get Tris food. I get her a banana muffin, toast, a carton of milk, and an apple. The lunch lady gives me a bag to carry it.
I head towards Tris's room.  I turn the corner to the infirmary and I bump into someone. I quickly say sorry.  I start to walk around the person, but she grabs I wrist.
