Life After Tris

Waking up alone

"Tris" says Tobias as he reaches his hand out to touch her. His fingers hit her shoulder and she disappears into small fragments. Tobias sits up and takes a deep breath as hot tears run down his face. He has had this dream since the day he released Tris' ashes off the zip line. Three months he had been having this dream, and has been waking up to hot tears blurring his vision. In three months a lot has happened. Tobias has lost touch with all of his friends except for Christina, who was taking the death of Tris a lot better then Tobias was. He only leaves his apartment to go to work and then he returns straight home. He has lost all emotion except for sadness, and he has forgotten the feeling of happiness. Tobias takes his blankets off and slides out of bed. He sluggishly walks to the bathroom and goes to get in the shower. He turns the water on and starts to take off his pajamas when a he heard a knock at the door. He sighed, turned off the water, and put his pajamas back on. Tobias thought, "Anyone who knocks on my door at seven in the morning will have to deal with me in pajamas". He walked out into the living room and opened his door. Christina stood there with blood shot eyes and blood covering her arms. "What-" Tobias began, but Christina ignored him and pushed her way inside.
