Tris's POV
I wake up on the couch wrapped in Toby's arms. I smile and hear my phone ring.
I grab the phone and answer it. The words are hard to make out, but all I hear is...
"He... Dead... Car... Your dad!"
I walk over to the couch and sit down. I process every word. Then I realize what just happened.
My father is dead. A car killed him somehow. I let a tear drop down my face. I slap myself.
I am Tris prior. I am selfish. I am brave. And I dont cry. I wipe the tear and go to the bathroom.
I look at myself in the mirror and clean my face so I dont look like I am upset.
No one will know about my father and no one will feel sorry for me. I dont need pity.
I hear a yawn and I jump. It was so quiet I didnt remember that he was in my living room.
I walk to the living room and see Toby looking at me. I think he knows something.
He walks over and looks at me again. I get nervous and turn around.
"I can tell something is wrong. I know you dont want to cry and that you dont want anyone to give you pity... so tell me and I will keep it a secret."
Oh my gosh! How does he know all of this. Is he a mind reader?
"Umm... I dont know what you are talking about, but I dont know for for sure... I just know that..."
"That!?"
"My father is dead and that whatever happened to him involved a car and I got a call earlier. I will not cry and I will not accept pity."
"You can cry in front of me."
Toby's POV
"You can cry in front of me."
I see one single tear fall down her beautiful face. No more tears. Just one tear. I feel bad for her. I know she is tough, but losing family is something no one should have to go through.
I remember when I lost my mother. I cried every day. I locked myself in my room.
"No! I have to stay strong. I will not let anybody look at me with pity. I will not cry. I will not remember anything, because I... I am selfish, I am brave, I am dauntless."
"I know you think you need to be brave, but you..."
She cuts me off by running into her room. She locks it. She is gonna be in there for awhile.
I text Uriah and Zeke.

Give her time. Marlene was doing the same and Uriah got over it - Z

I put my phone down and laugh. I am glad Uriah and Marlene are doing good. I wont tell them what really happened, because I promised her.
I look at her door. I decide to peek through the door lock to make sure she is ok.
I peek through the door and see her cutting. Oh my cheez-itz! She is cutting. I need to stop her.
I knock on her door and hear the knife drop.
"Go away Four!"
"No, I will camp outside your room if I have to."
Silence. Thats never good. I see her grab the knife again and bury it in her dresser. Then she lays down and falls asleep.
Well, I guess I am sleeping right where I am...
