Life after Allegiant

24:Let The Paint Fly

Tris pov

I wake up with Tobias' arm thrown over my chest. He likes a lot of room when he sleeps and will do anything to get it. I turn my head to look at the time. 10:34. Oh my gosh I never sleep in this late, and Tobias does only occasionally. We have paintball at 7:00pm so we better get up.

I throw tobias' arm off of me and he groans.

"Get up"

"I don't want to, please let me sleep Tris. I am hurt badly."

"Nope. You told me to stop babying you and I am. Get up we have paintball at noon."

Tobias shoots up from bed and runs across the hall and into the bathroom. At first I am confused to what he is doing then I hear the shower start.

"Hurry up Tobias! I need a shower to."

I go into the kitchen and put some eggs in a frying pan and a couple pieces of bread into the toaster. I hear the water stop and the bathroom door open. I sprint to get in the shower. I see Tobias taking his time leaving so I push him out of the way and say "eggs and toast in kitchen, finish cooking them." before he has time to respond I am in the bathroom with the door shut and most of my clothes off. I undress the rest of the way and get in the shower. After about 9minutes of washing my hair I get out and dry off. When I leave the bathroom all I can smell is smoke. I run to the kitchen and see Tobias attempting to put the fire out on the stove with a rag. I walk to the cupboard and pull a for extinguisher out. I push Tobias out of the way and spray it. The fee immediately goes out.

"Umm yeah tris don't trust me to cook."

"Never again." I give him a stern look and then the toast pop out. "Hey at least you can make toast." I pull the toast out and butter them handing a piece to Tobias.

"Ready tris? It is 11:30"

"Sure lets go."

(Time laps to paintball.)

Uriah yells "I call the orange paintballs! No one lay a finger on them. Christina picks a gun up and one orange paintball.

"Christina don't you dare." exclaims Uriah. She puts the paintball and shoots Uriah in the leg.

"Hey no shooting! we haven't started!"

Tobias speaks up "Everyone get a different colored paintball. So we know who shot who and the person with the most shots wins the game."

I grab the red paintballs, Tobias grabs the blue, Christina grabs the pink, Uriah has the orange, Zeke has the green, And Shauna has yellow. Even though Shauna is in a wheelchair, she is an amazing shot.

We all fill our guns and Zeke ask. "Where Would you like to play?"

I speak up first "navy pier, where the Ferris wheel is"

"Alright sounds good."

We all leave and go to navy pier. Once we are close enough we all split apart. Uriah said we have five minutes to find our places then we start. At first I don't know where I am going, but then I do. Of course the ferris wheel. I start jogging in tat direction. I check my watch and see that it has been 6 minutes. Let the paint fly. After a few more feet of jogging I See Christina ducking behind a trash can looking the opposite way. I accidentally make some kind of noise and duck beneath a bench. I see Christina looking around.

"Who is that? Is that you Uriah? don't be messing with me."

I guess Christina was right because Uriah pops up from behind a cart and shoots Christina in the leg Christina draws her guns and shoots him in the shoulder. I listen to their conversation.

"Uriah seriously you scared me."

"That's what I was trying to do."

Then something crazy happens. Uriah gives Christina a kiss on the lips.

"Uriah not here, what if someone sees us."

And someone did. I saw it. I lean out form behind the bench and shoot both of them.

"Hey who was that"

At first I think they could never figure out who shot them because I ran and thy didn't see me. The. I remember the paintballs. I specifically have red. They will know I saw them.

I kept running towards the ferris wheel. I plan to go into the platform and shoot from up there. It is high ground so it is an advantage point. When I get there I start climbing. I can't hear anything because of the wind. It is blowing in my ears. When I get high, like 20 rungs from the platform. The wind pushes me to the left. At first I think I wish Tobias was here to hold my hip again, but then a hand grabs my waist. I look down and see Tobias smirking at me. Why hasn't he shot me?

"What are you doing Tobias?"

"Following you like old times."

"Okay whatever." I turn back up and keep climbing. I finally reach the platform and let my feet dangle. Tobias leans up against a bar behind me. One rule in our paintball game is whoever got shot has to wait five minutes before they can shoot. That could give me enough time to shoot Tobias and leave. Should I shoot him though? I guess he had the same though because I feel a sharp pain in my back.

"Sorry love, I just need to win."

"You suck....."

He stands up and climbs down the ladder. I don't follow him because it should take him about five minutes to climb down the ladder. I turn the my watch and wait for five minutes to hit. Just as it does I can see Tobias walking away from the Ferris wheel. I lift my gun and aim it at his back. I breath in and breath out. I pull the trigger and the paintball hits him right in between the shoulder blades. He turns around and either gives me a thumbs up for my aim or the finger for shooting him. Is stay on top of the Ferris wheel and wait. We said we give and hour to play. It is getting dark so I start I climb down. Before the end of the game I shot Christina again, Zeke, and Shauna. My watch says 8:00 so the game is over. We all meet at the end of the pier and count how many shots we made. I had 6, Tobias had 8, Zeke had 6, Christina had 4, Uriah had 5, and Shauna had 11.

We all look at Shauna in shock. For being in a wheel chair she had killer shot.

We make our way back to the center of the city, where our apartments are. Everyone is walking and Uriah and Christina walk a little behind. I else their pace so I am standing next to them. When they see me they seem nervous.

"So why weren't you telling anyone ."

"Because they might have thought we were going to fast."

"Well you should tell them. I can guarantee they will be fine with it"

I walk back up to Tobias and jump on his back. He wraps his hands around my legs to hold me there.

"So was that a thumb or a middle finger?"

"I guess no one will ever know."

I give him the death glare. "I'm kidding of course it was a thumbs up.....maybe"

I punch his arm lightly. "and maybe I was kidding about getting engaged." I raise my right eyebrow.

"You wouldn't"

"Would I though?"

We get into out apartment door and he sets me down on the couch.

"Tobias?"

"Yes?"

"When are we going to get married?"
