Chapter 17
TRIS POV
After leaving Tobias house, I walk up to my room and start getting ready for bed, I am done about a half an hour later.
I walk into my room and go to close my window. but thats when I see a bloddy four with a Marcus hovering over him with a belt in his hand. Marcus hits tobias for what I am guessing is not the first time tonight then leaves Tobias laying there.
I put my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming. He isn't moving. I dont think I climb the Tree that connects our windows, I am so glad its there.
I hope its unlocked, I think as I reach his window. Thank goodness it is, I yank it open and pull myself in. "Tobias" i whisper and he turns his head round just enough so that he can see me. "Tris?" he whispers.
I nod and crouch down to him and help him sit up. "im guessing you have a first aid kit somewhere." i say because I'm guessing this isn't the first time this has happened. "under the bed." he said, his voice scratchy and barley a whisper. I nod and look under the bed, i see a box of some sort and I pull it out, sure enough its the first aid kit.
i start to clean his wounds and wrap them. when I am done I help him up into his bead. I sit on the side, I think he knows I'll want answers because he looks at me and sighs.
he sits up and looks me dead in the eye. "how long has this been happening?" I ask
"for as long as I can remember, but its gotten a lot worse recently" he says almost as if its nothing. "who else knows?" I ask and he shrugs "just you, and please keep it that way he's the freakin mayor nobody will believe me over him" he says and I nod.
I didnt realize this before but we had gotton a lot closer, are faces inches away from eachother. I wanted that space to be gone. aparently he did to cause he leaned down and kissed me, at first I'm shocked but then I start kissing him back. My hands glide through his hair and his hands placed firmly on my waist.
we pull away, our foreheads still touching and we share breaths. I look into his deep blue eyes that I could get lost in.
"Tris, I really, really like you" he says in between breaths "I really really like you to." I say and he smiles "really?" he asks "really" I say "maybe Really can be our always." i say and we laugh because we just got assigned to read a classic 'The Falt in Our Stars' "I dont think it would make a very good always Tris, but I see what you did there."
we laugh again. "Tris will you go out with me?" he asks in a hushed nervous tone. "why not." I say with a smile. and we kiss again.
"sadly I have to go, we have school tomorrow." i say and get up and leave
I have a boyfriend, is all I can think while I fall alseep witha stupid grin on my face. and he is my crush.
i smile bigger and drift off.
