I see it. I see a bomb. I also see fire. I see Tobias running for me. I see my dad running away. I see my mom screaming and crying. Then I see nothing...

------------------------------

I wake up on the cement. I look over and see police. What just happened? Tobias is crying and looking at the house.

It's burned down. I start to cry. I sit up and notice a few burns. Why am I here. Then I feel dizzy and get up.

I try to walk to Tobias. I fall and he runs over.

"Tris!"

"Tobias, what's going on."

"Your dad threw a bomb at the house. You were staring out the window and I ran to you. Your mom was really upset. I ran you out here and my mom... she didnt survive."

"Why did you rescue me?"

"That was what first popped into my head. I couldn't let you die."

"Thanks... sorry about your mom."

"That's ok... Let's just not talk about it."

"Ok."

We walk to the police and Tobias tells them everything. They drive off to find my dad.

"No!" I scream.

"Tris!? What's wrong!?"

"My dad... They can't arrest him. I still care about him. I mean... he is my dad and all."

"Yeah, I guess so, let's just go to bed for now."

"There is no bed."

"Where are we supposed to sleep then?"

"Under the stars."

"Sounds good... I love you Tris."

"I love you too Tobias."

We both lay down and fall asleep.
