Stay with me

Ch.16

Tris p.o.v:
"Tris do you want to look around this place?"

"That would be nice. All we do is stay on this stupid couch. Well at least I do anyway." I muttered the last sentence hoping he didn't hear it. Tobias heard it anyway since he looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Tris you know why you can't go anywhere without help."

"Yeah I know." I decide not to push it. "Let's just
leave it be."

"Tris is something bothering you?"

"No. Tobias I understand my condition. I don't want to talk about it right now. If that's what you think is wrong." I tell him. I know Tobias suspects something is wrong. Although he doesn't press me any further which I appreciate, but I know I won't hear the last of this.

Tobias wraps an arm around my waist pulling closer to him. "That's awesome Tris. I'm so glad you understand. I promise it will get better."

I don't say anything back to him. Partly because I don't believe Tobias. I mean, I'm basically helpless. I can't walk without someone's help. What if they were wrong and there's something wrong with me and I won't be able to walk ever again?
My thoughts are interrupted by Tobias' voice.

"So shall we?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Shall we look around?" Tobias asks confused. I must've been so consumed in my thoughts and our little argument, I forgot Tobias was asking about looking around the apartment.

My mouth formed into a 'o' shape. "Yeah." Tobias laughed at me at which I have elbowed him in the stomach. Tobias made a 'oomph' sound due me elbowing him.

He gets up from the couch. Tobias lifts me up bridal style and we look around the apartment. It's a one bedroom apartment. It has one bathroom. A small living room and a small kitchen.

Once we're done checking it out Tobias takes us to the bedroom. He sets me on the bed. He sits down next to me and wraps his arms around my waist.
We were silent for a while.

"Tris I'm glad Emily and Valerie did this for us." Tobias said to break the silence.

"Yeah me too. I mean they helped you when I was in a coma. They even gave us this little apartment to stay in so I can recover."

He's staring at me so I thought he wanted me to continue talking. So I did. "I'm glad they helped us and have a second chance but Tobi-". I didn't get to finish my sentence since Tobias silenced me with his lips.

"You talk too much." He said his voice husky. Tobias kissed me again. He laid us down on the bed. I cuddle up next to him.

Tobias wraps his strong arms around my waist pulling me even closer to his body.

"Tris what were you thinking about earlier?"

"Its nothing." I tell him without looking at him. Tobias grabs my chin so I look at him.

"I know you Tris. Don't say it's nothing because that means it's something. Something's been bothering you ever since Emily showed the papers to leave the hospital." I look into his eyes which were full of concern. "What is it Tris?"
