Here is the anticipated next update enjoy guys.

His shirt smells of a comforting cologne and metal. My face is burrowed in his shirt as he olds me tightly. He's lost me once so his mentality is that if he holds on tight enough nothing can come between us. These moments, when I am safely protected in Tobias's strong arms, are an escape from my past. It helps me forget all the memory, nightmares and panic attacks. I guess I've never felt whole since the incident this summer, but with him it all changes for the better.

I finally feel whole again.

I pull away from his strong grasp and notice tears in his eyes. The cold tears gathering in his eyes make his eyes look darker and deeper. When ever I look into them the memory of drowning plays through my head, but not in a bad way like it usually does. I have a fear of drowning in dark deep waters, so whenever the memory of falling into the darkness of water floods my mind I am overwhelmed with depression and hopelessness. Some how, looking into his eyes is different, like drowning in a different way. I feel as though I am drowning in his personality, his eyes his smile. Maybe, just maybe this could be the way I think about drowning from now on.

I notice that Tobias's mouth is moving; I guess I got so caught up in thought that the whole world sort of fell away. "Tris, Earth to Tris", he says suppressing a giggle.

"What? Oh.....um , what do you need", I respond trying to get out of the state of my day dreaming.

"Well I kind of noticed you had cleats on, by any chance do you play soccer?", he says with a clear emotion of hope and happiness shown through his eyes. I explain to him my history with soccer and the level I play at, at the very moment. He does the same as well going into further detail about the twins that are on his team, Zeke and Uriah. We launch into a deep discussion about our interests and hobbies, and it turns out that we have a lot in common.

We hear the whistle blow; which comes from a strong muscular man in his mid age. "Hello I'm Coach Amar, I would like to start off the year with a little game of soccer" he says with a raspy voice, " Now it is optional if you want to play, if you are step forward and if not go sit on the bleachers and cheer for today. Christina, Shauna and a few other girls start to walk towards the bleaches, which only leave's Marlene, two more girls and me.

We divide into teams, and luckily I am with Tobias, Zeke, Uriah, Marlene, guys named Christian, Luke, Alex and Calvin, and Will. I think we have a really good chance at winning and I think Four thinks so too based on the fact that he is smiling like a mad man and high fiving Zeke and Uriah.

We walk on to the playing felid and sort out positions. We decide to play a

4-4-2 plus a goalie. Zeke is playing in goalie, Uriah is our leading striker, Will is defense with some other guys and Tobias and I are central mid-fielders.

We start the game and gain possession right away. We start to take it slow by passing it around but then I feel the ball at my feet. I dribble the ball and do some fancy moves to get around three players. Uriah opens to my left so I quickly give him a pass. He dribbles till the goalie crease and kicks the ball with such speed into the top right corner, putting us in the lead. Tobias runs up to me and picks me up spinning me around. I laugh and scream at him to put me down.

We continue on with the game scoring two more points, but the other team catches up. The score is now tied, and there is only five minutes until the game ends. Tobias gets the ball and dribbles it past a few players, I open up to his right side and he passes me the ball. I run with such speed, that no one dares to try and catch up. I am now face to face with the opposing goalie so I do some shoulder fakes and shoot it into the corner of the net with such force.

I scored.

Our whole team comes to congratulate me and pulls me into a big dog pile. Tobias pulls me out and looks me in the eyes panting. His mouth curves into a smile showing his pearly white teeth, "You did it", he says tilting his head.

"No we did .....", I am interrupted with his lips on mine. I'm shocked at first but deepen the kiss. I wrap my arms around him and pull him closer, I hear calls and whistles from our friends but we ignore it. We don't care. Right now, we don't give a care about everyone. The world.

All that matters is us.

All done, I might update tonight but if I don't then it will be tomorrow. The awnsers for the questions were:
