Chapter 5
Tobias's POV
"Tobias, I want to go back to the factions." Tris mumbles through light tears. I can't go back there. The factions hold too many bad memories. The closet, the beatings, Tris being betrayed by her own brother, her almost being put to death, the simulation attack. It's where my life took place. My life that turned out to be a hidden lie. Everything I once knew fluttering from my grasp. But it also holds the good ones; where I met Tris, where we shared our laughter, our smiles.
But now all of that is gone. The factions don't exist anymore. The barriers that kept us separated, yet brought us together at the same time. The walls that defined us, shaped us, but also broke us. They're gone. But which decision overpowers the other? Do I risk the chance of breaking her heart by staying for my own selfish reasons, or do I leave and put myself in am seemingly endless state of grief?
I can't disappoint Tris. But will she remember it like I do? The place where everything we thought we knew, we though we understood, we learned to love and know, turned out to be untruthful. We were experimented on for others' knowledge. But it's also where I lived. Where I thought I belonged, at least for a little bit.
" I don't know if I can Tris." As soon as I say those words I see the hurt build up I her eyes. "Please. I have to go. Just to remember. To remember what it used to be like, before..." Her voice trailed off, although I new what she wanted to say. Before war had ruined our way of life, and the bureau did nothing to stop it. " There's nothing to remember." I say, slightly raising my voice. " Everything is gone. And before the war it was already corrupt. The only thing to remember is how broken the system was. " "Its not about that, Four." When she calls me that I know I've done something wrong. " Its about...." And she cuts herself off with tears. " It's about my family. It's were they all lived. It's were my parents died." That's when I realize, that this is something I have to do. I can't turn back.
