44 - Waking up alone

Tris
I wake up with a smile on my face. I roll over and search for Tobias next to me.
All i find is a cold blanket and pillow. I sit upright in bed. Where is he? He said he would be there when I wake up. Where is he?
"Tobias?"
I ask into the empty room.

No one answers. There is no noise from the shower. No noise at all.
He is gone.
Without even saying good bye. I feel how a tear wants to escape my eye and i allow it.
He is gone and i couldn't even say good bye.
I wipe my eye and stand up. I have to pull myself together! I'm going to see him in... when? He didn't say anything. I sigh and straighten my hair. He will tell me somehow why he left and when he'll come back. I just hope nothing happend to him.

Once i enter the kitchen i gasp. The table is set and the food is in one of theses erudite thingys that keep them warm for a long time.
On top of it is a note:
Good morning Tris,
I am really really sorry that i left before you woke up and i know that i said i would be there when you wake up. And please believe me when i say that i am as sad as you are that this didn't come true. But i had to go before evelyn worried and i didn't want to wake you because you slept so peacefully.
I made this small breakfast for you and hope that you can forgive me.

I love you with all my heart.
I'll be back in three or four days.
Love IV

I feel how my heart warms. He has to be the perfect boyfriend..
I start eating the still warm and - i might add - delicious food. Scrambled egg, a warm chocolat muffin and a hot chocolat.
Yup, he is the perfect boyfriend.

I step out of my apartment into the empty hallway. I pull my sweater closer around my shoulder. Maybe i should add that it actually is Tobias'. I have to smile. Thoughtfully i play with a strand of my hair.
His hands slowly stroke my hair. His fingers play with the single strands while he slowly lets kisses trail down my neck. I smile and my fingers on his bare skin seem to burn.
A squeel from the other end of the hallway wakes me out of my flashback.
My head shoots up and i see Uri and Mar at the other side. Uri is giving her a piggy back ride and she is squeeling in joy.
I have to smile.
Uri comes running towards me and stops only about two feet away. "Hey Trissy baby." He says and winks at me. I roll my eyes. "Whatever uricorn. Hey Mar-muffin." I add and grin at her.
She bursts out laughing. "Mar-muffin?!" I laugh as well. "Don't you remember when uri shot a muffin of off your head?" She laughs. "Yup I do. I kinda like that nickname." I smile. "Good. You gotta get used to that now." She shrugs and hops down from uris back.
He takes her hand in his and she pecks his cheek. They are cute together...
Oh god i am turning into chris.
"Did you already eat breakfast?" Uri looks me up and down. I punch his arm. "Yes i did." He raises his eyebrow and i punch him again. "Hey! I can take care of my own!" "Suuure you can... i promised him to take care of you. And so i will." I roll my eyes again. "Whatever. Lets go." Mar-muffin intervines.
"Where are you going?" I ask after we started walking. "Or we..." i add. Uri chuckles. "Just the pit. We're meeting zeke and chris there. They have the day of as well and we just wanted to get you so we can do something cool."
I laugh a dry laugh. "Yeah because my life is so boring right now..." Mar bursts out laughing. "Yeah you're probably right."
I shrug and grin. "Whatever. Lets just meet the others."

Zeke is the first one who notices us. He waves at us and chris turns around to see who he is waving at. Her face lights up. "Triiiiis!! Maaaaaar!!" Uri crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow. "Am i invisible?" I chuckle and wrap an arm around his shoulder. "Don't be mad. Your just a bit see through..." he pushes my arm away from his shoulders and sticks out his tounge at me.
"How grown up..." i joke and hug chris. She smiles at me. "How are you feeling?" Mar nudges chris in the side and laughs. "The whole way she cracked jokes and kept laughing and that weird smile wouldn't even leave her face." She fake whispers. "Hey!" I complain. Chris bursts out laughing. "Why are you in such a good mood Tris?" I start to blush and turn away from them.
Chris will immediatly see what the matter is and as i know her she won't make a secret out of it.
"Can we go now?" I try to lead the attention away from me but mar and chris won't let me go that easily.
"One second boys." Chris says while mar already drags me away.
I groan. "Mar! Let go!" She looks at me with a fake apologie look. "Sorry. No can do Trissy." I glare at her. "You are not sorry. Not one tiny bit." She grins. "You're right i'm not." I push her and she laughs.
"Okay and now tell us!" Chris demands.
Uncomfortable i step from one foot to the other. "I..." my voice trails off. "Okay guys can't i just not tell you that?" I want to walk away but chris holds me back. "Aww come on. Please tris. We are trustworthy." I take a deep breath and lay a hand on my forehead. I turn to them. Turn away. And back to them.
"Okay. All i'm going to say is that i had a visitor last night." Both of their eyes grow wide and they look at eachother before they look back at me.
"What?" They yell at the same time. But i already walked towads uri and zeke again.
"Wait a second." Chris now says and i feel a hand on my shoulder. I groan and turn around. "What else?" She looks on the floor and then back at me - clearly nervous. "Does-does Four know about this?" "What?" I ask completly confused. "What do you mean does..." my eyes grow wide when i realise what she means. "Christina!" "What?" She asks defensly. "Of course! You idiot!" I lean over to her and whisper, "He was the one who visited me of course! As if another boy would visit me! Are you kidding?" She and mar look at eachother and then burst out laughing. "Okay, we got that wrong." Mar wheezes out between laughs. I roll my eyes but still grin.
"Okay girls... are you done with laughing now?" Zeke sighs and raises his eyebrows at us.
Still laughing i nod. "Yeah. We've got everything sorted out now..."
Chris and mar burst out laughing again and i hook my arms with Chris' while she hooks her other with mar. "Finally..." uri says grinning. "What do we do now?" I ask.
Wicked grins creep up on Zeke and uris faces. "We got a plan..."
Chris, Mar and i look at eachother. "This is going to be interesting..."
