I suck in a breathe and stop in my tracks. I know I've been stupid for not thinking about what I'd do when I saw him again.

"Tris, what's wrong?" Tobias asks, concern leaking out of his voice.

"Look. Bryce." I try to sound more casual than I feel but fail. He looks at him and scowls deeply. "I'll take care of him." He says in a tight voice.

"No." I say, almost surprising myself. "I can handle myself." He looks worried but doesn't protest when I pull my hand from his and start walking towards the car. After a few second he follows behind me.

"What are you doing here Bryce?" I ask. He tries to speak but I interrupt him. "No, actually how did you even know I was here? And that this was the car I drove in? This isn't even my car!"

"Look, I just want to talk to you." He says in a hurt tone, as if he expected me to be welcoming. "Well, I don't really want to talk to you."

"Tris, please." He begs. I don't respond but just keep walking towards my car. However he gets in my way, blocking me from the car door. "Move, Bryce." I command. He doesn't even acknowledge me. Instead he runs his hand down my neck, to my arm. I jerk away from his touch. He leans in close to my ear and whispers, "I don't know why you ever left me and went for that douche." He's referring to Tobias.

He's referring to my Tobias.

I pull my arm back and punch his face.

It seems my retaliation did nothing to stop him, instead he grabbed my face and kissed me. Before I could even respond I felt him ripped away from my body. I whipped my lips with the back of my hand and backed up into the car door.

I see Tobias beating Bryce, and have complete confidence in him. I take out my phone and dial the police. I tell them where we are, and that I'm not injured, just that they need to pick someone up.

After twenty minutes of waiting and watching Tobias 'guard' Bryce, the police arrive.

A man immediately runs up to us and looks at Bryce. "I thought you said no one was hurt?" I hold in a laugh. "He assaulted me, and he," I looked at Tobias. "defended me. I'd like to get a restraining order." Other officers come over and began questioning Tobias and I. After what seems like hours of interrogation of what happened and Bryce and my past relationship they have agreed to put a restraining order on Bryce. It was hard to talk with Tobias' glare at Bryce being ever-conscious when I was talking about him cheating on me.

Soon after, they left, with Bryce in tow. Tobias takes my hand to his mouth, giving it a gentle-man like kiss. "I wish you didn't have to have that creep in your life." Tobias says with self loathing, as if Bryce's existence was Tobias' fault.

"Well he won't be any more, thanks to you." I smile up and him, and he waists no time to lean down and press his lips against mine. I smile into his lips and I feel him smile back. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers into his hair while he places his hands on my hips. He cranes his head even more to deepen the kiss even further. I respond with a small groan and I feel his smile widen. He moves his hands from my hips and onto my thigh.

A loud honk sounds next to us and we release each other to see a car in front of us, with it's lights seeming to glare at us. We run out from the middle of the road and I see the driver flip us off and speed away.

okay there it is. I know, not to great or long, just a filler chapter. i could do a tris being stalked by bryce story, cause that's where this might have been headed if he wasn't given a restraining order, but that'd just be a weird story. So truth be told I have zero ideas of what to do with this story. If you want me to end it tell me. if you like it tell me. but it's kinda useless to just say that because I still have no ideas, so please help me out.
