Tobias~

Finally school is over and we can have our summer holidays. I've been waiting to spend some time down at the beach with Tris. We had a visit from her parents last Monday, Caleb wasn't there but her parents were glad to see her.

I turn around to see Tris peacefully sleeping, her face looks innocent while she sleeps, I can't help but smile to myself. I shift closer to her, embracing her warmth. Her eyes flutter open showing me her light blue eyes still awakening with sleep.

"Morning beautiful" I whisper softly.

Her cheeks warm up and turn a rosy colour, "Morning Handsome".

"What do you feel like doing on this fine summers day." I say.

"Hmmm, do you have anything in mind four?" She replies.

"Maybe go to the beach or lake or something? We could also go to the lodge so it won't be a long drive home?" I suggest.

"Well are we waiting for?" She jumps out of bed and tugs on my hand, "Let's go!"

I stiffly rise and meet my eyes with hers, " I love you six " I kiss her forehead and she slips her cold hands around my waist.

"I love you too, four" her hands find mine and we go down the stairs hand in hand.

Zeke and Uriah sit at the bench both eating chips, yet again. "Do you guys ever stop eating chips" Tris asks. "Nope" they both reply.
The wooden floor feels cold beneath my feet, I glide over to the cupboard and pull out some cereal for Tris and I. We join the brother and take our sit next to them.

"Tris and I will be going to the lodge tonight." I say to them.

Zeke laughs and whispers to Uriah, they both start giggling and look over to us.

"What's so funny?" Tris asks.

Uriah gulps but Zeke continues laughing and says "Last summer, Tobias took a girl to the lodge. And my she was hot. Anyway let's just say Tobias came home a happy man after that." Zeke goes to continue on, but I cut him off.

"Zeke that's not true" I say.

Tris gets up and runs up to the room, I race after her but the door slams shut before me. I hear muffled cries behind the door, I knock and say "Tris, it wasn't me I swear. Even if I wasn't with you then I wouldn't never do that. You have to trust me on this, Tris. I love you and only you, don't forget that."

I hear quiet footsteps and the door slowly opens. My arms collide with hers and I hold her tightly. The last thing I want to do is hurt Tris, after leaving her family. Her eyes find mine and they are red from tears. I tuck a strand behind her ear and smile.

"If.. If.. It wasn't you then who was it?" She whimps. I shake my head in reply and rise, " I'll be right back." I say.

"No. Wait, I coming" she replies and she wipes the tears from her eyes.

Zeke and Uriah sit in the same spots as before. "It wasn't me, idiots" my hand smacks the back of their heads.

"Ow" Uriah says. "Well then who was it?"

We all look at Zeke, "Wait you guys think it was me?... Actually come to think of it I do remember going into the lodge last summer." He laughs a little.

"Idiot" I say.

"We should probably go get packing" Tris says.

"Are you sure?" I say, as we both walk up the stairs.

"Well you didn't do anything wrong and why not have some fun, since it's our holidays."

I nod in agreement and we both start packing. We finish in about 5 minutes and load our bags into my new black ute. We wave to Zeke and Uriah and start the hour and a half road trip to the lake.

Tris and I talk for a while but she soon is too tired to talk. Her head rest against the seatbelt and she takes small breaths of air. Tall towering trees surround the gravel road, mountains in the distance covered in green grass. Occasionally I might see a interesting bird or bunny, I would show Tris but I don't want to disturb her.

We come into the entrance of the lodge and the lake where Tris and I will be staying for a while. The ute purrs while I sit in the carpark, debating if I should wake Tris or not. I can't help but see those beautiful eyes again so I gently push her shoulder until she awakens.

Her eyes take in the surroundings, it really is a beautiful place. She gasps in amazement, "This is amazing" a small smile takes over her lips. We both hop out of the car and head over to the dark wooden lodge, I point things out to Tris, I show her the lake, cafe, restaurant and so many things.

We both dump our bags on the bed and run outside. Even though we both jump into the lake without a care in the world.
