Tobias
She looks down shyly, trying to avoid eye contact with me. Gently I lift a shaking hand and my thumb runs under her eye. She winces but tries to cover it. She takes me hand and takes it away from her eye.
"Tobias-" She starts
"Who did this to you?" I growl lowly. My fists clench. Someone's hurt her and their gonna pay. She looks at me for a moment and is about to say something but then turns and starts walking away. I grab her wrist.
"Wait!" I say starting to become desperate. I've lost her once, i can't lose her again. Never again.
"Get off me!" She yells back. I take a step back.

This is Tris. A tougher more shut out version of what I had a few months ago. She's looks harder to crack then she did last time. Tougher. And the walls will be so much higher. So high that I don't even know whether I can climb them or not. We look at each for a few more moments. Then stone silence as she turns and walks away again.

You idiot! Go after her. A voice in my head yells. I can't move. I stand there and watch her disappear into the crowds of people. A hand claps on my shoulder.
"Was it her?" Uriah asks. I glare at the floor.
"Yeah" I spit.
"Did you go after her?"
"No" I growl because I'm an idiot. I tune out while Christina yells at me for being stupid. Telling me that I need to go after her. That she needs to talk to the gang. She also tells me to man up and do it.

Like I don't that already.
"Go after her! Do it! Go after Tris! She needs you! You need her! Four! Four listen to me!" Christina yells. I snap my head to face her.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" I spit. Zeke rubs the back of his head and Uriah shifts from one to the other. Christina glares at me.
"Because of the way your acting." She crosses her arms "you know it as well! Fours here not Tobias. Tobias would never act like this. Cold. Angry all the time."
Lynn steps forward in between me and Christina.
"Alright! I think that's enough. Miss Sarcastic and Mr Angry. Let's go sit down and talk it through you idiots."

We walk back to the diner and sit back in our original seats. It's silent for a few minutes until Lynn breaks it again.
"So what are we going to do about Tris?" She asks. I shake my head and look out the window.
"Well she didn't very happy to see us did she?" Uriah says and wraps his arm around Marlene shoulders. You don't know how much self control I had to stop my self from kissing. That's all I've wanted to do for the past 6 months. I just wanted one final kiss with Tris. You don't know how badly I wanted wrap my arms around her. To tell her I'm here. That she's ok. The bruises on her face show how bad she must have it there. It must've been her dad. It had to be her dad. She told me about the things he used to do to her. It sickens me to my stomach. How dare he. How freaking dare he!
"Well what are we going to do about it Four?" Shauna asks. I shake my head.
"How about we just get off her back and leave her alone!" I say forcefully. Those words were forced. They all say nothing.
"I'm going to do something." Christina says louder then me. A chorus of
"Yeah me too"
"I've missed her"
"We need her back."
They all look back towards me.
"So what are we going to do?" Zeke asks more forcefully then me. He wants me to get Tris back.

Tris
I wonder if the whole gang saw me? What if they did. There would be questions and... No it's only the girls and Tobias that know. Well that's over half the group. They will find out someway. Won't they? No they won't. I won't let them into my world and they won't let me back into theirs. I will keep them shut out and hopefully they will do the same. Just forget about me. Let me fade into the back ground.

I walk through the older bit of town. Down a grubby alley and then I pull myself over a rickety fence. There's a grey cobbled yard. The other side of the court yard is a fence saying trespassers will be shot, Survivors will be shot again on it. I climb over the fence again and finally get to the warehouse.

I push the old door open and sigh. Within the first day of coming back here, they find me. It could've been anyone else by that window. But it was them. They found me. I was lost and alone. I still am and I always will be. I can't let them back in, because if I do people get hurt.
