Not Giving up: a Divergent fanfiction

Chapter 9: Tris

“Everything.” He says.

“What do you mean everything?” I ask confused

“Just what I said everything. I think I can trust you. Well I-I want to anyway.” 

“Oh well shoot.” I say 

He breaths in and closes his eyes “You promise not to tell anyone?” he says with his eyes close. 

“promise.” I say with a smile

“Here goes nothing.” He says and starts talking again. He tells me how his father beats his mother and sometimes him when he's had a bad day at work or he’s drunk or because he just wants to be a complete ass. Then he goes on about how what happened in the arcade really hurt him because he really liked her but at the same time he didn’t because he liked someone else. He also told me his real name and told me he only wants me to say it when I’m alone around him.

“Tris.” He says and puts his hand on my knee. 

“That other girl that I like. it’s you.” He says looking me right in the eyes. 

I sigh. “Tobias I just got out of a two year relationship I need time first. In the process of that little time we can get to know each other better and see where it goes from there okay?” I say 

“Okay. I understand. I actually like that idea. Oh and what happened to your room?” he ask with an eyebrow raised.

“Well you when I went to Colten’s and saw him with her I came home and may have destroyed everything instead of sitting on the floor crying. Which I will never do.” I say looking around my room. 

“I really need to clean my room back up.” then I look down and notice that I’m still in my robe and nothing else. 

“I also need to put on my clothes.” I say pointing at them slightly laughing. I get up and go to the bathroom with my clothes and put them on. When I walk out and Tobias is just looking at me. Then I hear the door open then close down stairs.

“You’ve got to go” I say walking with him towards the window. He nods and climbs out.

“Goodnight.” He says 

“Goodnight” I reply with a smile.
