Life After Tris

The dream

Tobias returned home from an uneventful but nice lunch with Christina. The officials got the rebels under control, so their lunch was peaceful. It was now four o'clock and Tobias decided that he was going to get some much needed rest. He walked into his room and flopped on his bed. He fell asleep with his shoes still on. "Tris" Tobias says as he reaches out a hand to touch her. His fingers make contact with her shoulder, and this time she doesn't dissolve into mid air. Instead of disappearing she says "Its okay to love someone after me. Please move on I want you to be as happy as I am right now. I know you love her, and I don't want you to miss out on life because of me. I'll see you soon, and I love you so much." She blows Tobias a kiss as she dissolves into air. When Tobias wakes up there are no tears blurring his vision, but he wakes up confused and with a small heat in his chest. "I know you love her" he repeats back to himself trying to figure out who 'her' is. He has not liked let alone loved anybody after, or before Tris. He can't think of who 'her' would be. The only friend he has not cutoff is Christina, and he does not have feelings for her...right? Tobias thinks about it. "What if I do?", he asks himself. "We are really good friends and I can't ruin that by asking her out" Tobias thinks "wait, why am I thinking about this if I know I don't like her". Tobias gets up and turns on the tv. All he can think about is the warmth he felt while holding Christina. The same thing he felt while holding Tris. "It's just because we are friends, and she is the only person I trust" Tobias tells himself over and over again.
