Tobias POV
Andrew shakily gets up and asks where Tris is. "The couch," I say.
I follow him to the living room and see she is still sleeping. "Can you wake her?" He asks me. I nod and kneel beside her as Andrew goes to get a water.
"Tris," I gently shake her arm. Her eyes open and stares at me for a second, trying to focus. "Hey," I say, pushing some stray hairs behind her ears. "You're father's here. He wants to talk to you."
She sits up groggily and confused as Andrew walks into the room. "Hey, sweetheart," he says gently. She smiles and hugs him. "Hey, Daddy," she says.
Andrew asks her about the beach trip yesterday while I bring her some toast. "I'm not hungry, Four," she says.
"Tris, if you don't eat breakfast, you have to eat lunch," I tell her. She agrees and Andrew grabs her hand.

"I need to tell you something, Princess," Andrew says. Tris turns to him, giving him her attention.
He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. "Do you remember how I always wanted to be in the Air Force?" He asks her. She nods her head, becoming suspicious. "Well, I got the opportunity to be apart of one," he says. "In Afghanistan," Andrew finishes.
Tris purses her lips a little, "A-are you going to go?" He smiles a small and says, "It's been my dream for such a long time. So, yes. I am going. I already signed up and everything. I'm leaving in two days."
Tris seems shocked by the news. "How long will you be gone?"
"Three years."
Tris' face drops a little, but she covers it up quickly and puts on a smile, hugging her father. "I'm so happy for you," she says.
I know Tris is happy for her father, but I see the tears welling in her eyes. She doesn't want him to leave. However, there's no way she will tell him that. She wants him to be happy. So, Tris doesn't act upset when he is in the room, but I see her lower lip begin to wobble. Tris bites it.
After a few minutes, Andrew leaves, to go home and finish packing. That way they can spend the day together tomorrow.
Once the door closes, tears stream down her face. I pull Tris to my chest as she sobs into my shoulder. My hands stroke her hair, but I don't tell her to stop crying.
Once you think you've picked yourself up again, you realize the hands that helped you up were only temporary.
