Undying Love : A FourTris Divergent Story

Chapter 6

It wasn't a long drive. Crescent View is only about six miles away from Zeke's bar, but by the time we pulled into the driveway, I was out cold.

"Tris, we're home." Tobias nudged me but I didn't respond. "Tris? Time to go inside."

I rolled my head over from one side to the other, so I could face him, but I kept my eyes closed. My hand batted at his as he shook me gently. "I don't want to go to school," I whined.

Tobias burst out laughing. "Oh, alright. But you do need to go to bed."

"With you?"

Tobias' eyes widened as his smile slowly melted away. "Ah, I don't think that would be a very good idea right now."

A light groan leaves my lips as my head rolled back over to the other side. "I'll just sleep here then."

"Really?" he sighed, looking over at me from the driver's side of the car. "Fine."

I heard his door open and then close. The car was eerily quiet. Did he really leave me in here alone? I know what I said, but I certainly didn't mean it, nor did I think I could make it into the house myself. With a groan, originating from deep in my chest, I threw my door opened, leaned forward and fell out of the truck with an agonizing whimper.

Tobias was by my side within seconds. "Jesus, are you alright? You couldn't even wait for me to unlock the front door?"

"I thought you left me in there alone." I open my eyes to look at him, but his face is bouncing back and forth from my alcohol induce vision.

"What? Of course not." Tobias lifted me into his arms, carrying me with one strong arm around my back, and the other under the bend in my knees. He pushed the truck door closed with his foot, before carrying me back into the house, up the stairs to my room and then depositing me lightly on my bed. He pulled off my shoes, one at a time, before tucking my body under the warm comforter. "I've got to get Zeke's truck back. I won't be gone long."

Tobias turns to leave, but I grab his hand before he can even take one step. "Wait. You're leaving me?"

"Ah, just for about ten minutes."

"But I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay with me, like, forever."

Tobias chuckled. "Forever? That's a pretty long time."

"I like looking at you."

"Um. Okay. But I still need to get the truck back or else Zeke will kill me."

"Pshh. You aren't really afraid of him, are you?"

"Not in the slightest. But I haven't met his girlfriend yet, and I don't want to get on her bad side." Tobias pulled his hand out of mine. "I really have to go." He turned away from me again, but my pathetic whimper had his look over at me one more time.

"Aren't you at least going to kiss me goodbye?" I have no control over my words right now, and every random thought just spews out.

Tobias snickered. "Do you want me to?"

"Ah, yeah." Wasn't that obvious?

He pushed his lips together, pondering the consequence before leaning over my limp form and kissing me softly on the forehead. "Try to get some sleep. I'll be back to check on you as soon as I get back."

"Okay," I hum softly, enjoying the feeling of his lips against my forehead.

After I agree to let him leave, he makes a hasty retreat, clicking the door closed behind him.

I woke up about eight hours later when Tobias knocked on my door. I grunt out a reply as I sit up and my head threatens to simultaneously combust. "What?"
