Everyone is ready to go. 

We're attempting to pack all of our things into backpacks but it's taking longer than usual.

Tris is across the room, trying to stuff a pair of pants into her bag. I find it quite amusing but I stop watching long enough to go over to her.

"Need help?"  I ask.  It's a nice feeling; being carefree with her again.

"I could use some, yeah." she says, and moves aside.

I then grab the pants and continue trying to push them in, but it's harder than it looks. Once they're inside, I have trouble zipping it up but it eventually gives.

"There." I say, looking at her again.

But there's something different about her face.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Caleb's verdict is tomorrow and I... " She trailed off but I already knew what she was going to say.

"I'll get him." I say.

She looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Seriously?"

"Sure. He's your brother." I say. "She you want him back."

She smiles and I melt inside. "thank you." she says.

"No problem. " I say, hugging her.

Again, no book. But I really wanted to update. Hopefully one day soon I'll get back into the swing of things. Peace ✌
