Faction Center: Dauntless High

Chapter 18: Titanic

I wake up with a headache. A terrible one. My temples are pounding, and when I try to get up, it feels like I'm being stabbed in the head multiple times at once. I see Tobias sprawled across his side of the bed, almost on my side. He's cute when he's sleeping, so I make sure not to wake him. I lay back down, knowing that the chances of me falling back asleep are pretty slim. I also know that I obviously can't go anywhere but here, probably from the punch last night. I cuddle up into Tobias, finding the perfect spot for my head to rest against him. He rolls over to me, half awake by now. He kisses the top of my head, whispering, "good morning Beautiful" to me. I look up into his captivating eyes, the deep ocean blue color meeting my sea green eyes that demand attention, according to him. He holds my fragile body that contains so much strength close to him. Finally, one of us makes a move. He kisses me, and I kiss him back. Our lips fit eachother perfectly, as if we were meant to be together, like puzzle pieces that don't fit with any other person.

"I love you" I whisper, our breath mixing together. He picks me up bridal style, and carries me to the couch. Thank God it's Saturday. I just hope no one noticed we snuck out of the lock-in ball. I honestly don't remember how we got out, but we did.

Tobias sets me down on his lap, casually turning on the tv. He flips through the channels, unsure of what to watch. Disappointed of the options, he turns it off.

"How 'bout a movie?" he asks. I nod in agreement. Again, he picks me up, less elegantly this time, slinging me over his back. We, or should i say he, walks to the movie room, complete with movie theater style chairs and couches. We pick out Titanic, and curl up together before playing it. The lead girl, Rose, looks so much like Jeanine, especially if they had the same hair color. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, I begin to cry. Her fiancé is horrible to her, when all she wants is Jack. I move even closer to Tobias, knowing we are the perfect distance from eachother when I feel his warmth. Two layers. I think to myself. When it is finally the end, my shirt is covered in our mixed tear stains, and Tobias looks like he is about to shed some more tears, jut like me. Since it is almost noon, and the sky demands to be seen, we decide to go to the beach. I throw on a black bikini with red fringe on the top. Tobias is in his black swim trunks, and has on a black Guy Harvey shirt that seems like it was an afterthought. He

has a a suitcase in his hands, and tells me to pack enough things for five days. I do as he tells me, curious as to why I'd need to do this. He is on the phone, and I think I hear Zeke or Uriah on the phone, possibly both. I come back with my packed suitcase, and a girls voice, noticeably Christina's, on the phone. I'm getting suspicious by now, but I trust Tobias. We get in the car after putting our suitcases in the trunk. We drive, and don't stop until we get to a...
