Chapter 10

Tobias POV

“Are you sure Beatrice?” I sat in the next room over, where they thought I was still asleep but really I was eavesdropping.

“What do you mean?”

“Are you sure about… you know.. Tobias?”

“Yes, mom he couldn’t be more perfect.”

“Its just i’m not sure about him… he seems different, distant.”

“Mom, please remember that he is very close to the place where his uh difficult childhood occurred.”

“I know and he seems very kind but I just want you to be careful around him.” I heard silence and then a chair scrape angrily across the floor.  Tris’ soft voice got louder at that moment.

“Mom, I love him. Just like you loved dad and Caleb maybe will love a girl one day. If you don’t accept that then I am fine with that but don’t be expecting an invitation to the wedding!” I slid back to the bed and pretended to be asleep. Tris slammed the door open and shook me “awake”.

“Hey Tris...What’s wrong?” I pretended to be groggy and still have asleep.

“Oh shut up! I know you heard all of that… We’re going home.”

“Um ok… you mean right now? Are you sure?”

“Coming back home was a bad idea.” She grabbed her duffle bag and tossed me mine, she was clearly fuming and steam was practically pouring out of her ears.

“Ok… well its about 11:00 right now so there is a train coming in about ten minutes.”

“Come on we can’t miss it, the initates need us to finish up their training for the day.” Tris dragged her bag out of the room and I rushed to catch up to her. Mrs. Prior watched as Tris opened the door and walked straight out without a second glance.

“Uh Thank you Mrs. Prior and I hope to see you soon.”

“TOBIAS GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE!”

on the train on the way back to Dauntless

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“No… I just want to sit here in quietness and enjoy the peaceful moments.” Tris was sitting across from me, her knees against her chest, her face covered in tears.

“Hey Tris come here.” I held out my arms to coax her to me. She stood carefully up and then came to sit as close as she possibly could to me.

“Tris it will be ok. I promise.” I brushed some of her blonde hair out of her face, and kissed her forehead gently.

“I knew she wouldn’t accept you.”

“Its ok, as long as you still do.”

“Forever & Always Tobias" she smiles and i kissed her again, this time on the lips. That led to her kissing me back and then us just kissing over and over. Eventually the train began to pass through dauntless territory and it was time to jump. First Tris, then our bags then last but not least me.

“So Trissy poo what would you like to do?”

“Well Toby I would like to get some lunch because I am starved and haven’t eaten all day."

"Perfect, I'll try to cook again!" I exclaim.

"Uhh no that's ok.. I think the cafeteria will still have some stuff left over."

"No! I can cook!" I took Tris' hand and practically dragged her towards our apartment.

Back at the apartment

"So Trissy poo what would you like me to make you?"

"What can you not screw up?"

"Grilled cheese."

"Then I will take a grilled cheese sandwich and while you’re making that I will go get some cake from the cafeteria."

"That sounds good." I began to move around the kitchen grabbing the ingredients I needed and listened to Tris as she opened and then shut the door.

Tris

The only thought on my mind as I walked down the long corridors of dauntless was Tobias. His sweet crooked smile and his flop of dark hair. The way his lips pursed when he was trying to concentrate and the way his abs rippled when he was working out.

"Hey Tris! I thought you were at your mothers?"

"Oh hey Christina.. We left my mothers cause she was being uh difficult."

"Oh... Where are you headed?"

"To the cafeteria. I am getting some dauntless cake for Four and I."

“Oh ok… well I guess see ya later.”

“Wait Christina! I forgot to tell you but…” I held out my hand to show her the sparkling engagement ring.

“OMG TRIS!!!!!! WHY WASN’T THE FIRST TO KNOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?”
“I am sorry but you are like the second person i’ve told not counting all the people in the restaurant.”

“OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!!!....Wait can I plan it?”

“Of course!! but you do have to get approval from both me and Four before you make any decisions. We will set up some free time so we can talk through it and plan it.”

“Ok that sounds good!! I will see you later.” I walked quickly to the cafeteria and back to the apartment with two slices of cake in my hand. Before I unlocked the door I smiled to myself and thought that everything was good and I was hoping it would stay that way.
