Divergent: Come Back to Me

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

TOBIAS POV:

My eyes blur in and out as I glare at the clock on the wall, my head still pounding even though it's already one in the afternoon. No matter how many bottles of water I gulp down my brain is still pissed at me for drinking so much last night when I normally never take a sip of alcohol. I sigh, knowing it's going to be a while until I get off work, although I'm glad it's my lunch break.

I stand up and walk to the mini fridge sitting in the corner of my square office. I reach in and snag the white bag full of my home made lunch, even though I don't feel very hungry. While walking back over to my desk, a knock sounds on the closed door.

"Yeah?" I call out as I sit back down ripping open the bag in front of me, carefully pulling out the sandwich and salad.

The door swings open and Zeke tumbles through it, two bags in one arm and a soda in the other, "Hey man. It's your lunch break right?"

Without me even answering he sits in the chair across from me, plopping the two bags in front of him. He takes a long drink of the soda, raising his eyebrows at the food in front of me.

"Yeah it is. What are you doing here?" I question as Zeke rarely ever comes to the office during lunch breaks, although I know his job allows him to break whenever he wants.

"Well, I wanted to hang out with my friend, is that a crime? Also I'm glad I came because that is a depressing lunch, here."

He tosses one of his own bags at me, and I peer into it, french fries and a burger. I half smile at him, showing him my appreciation, it does look and smell amazing. Also in the bag is a plastic baggy that holds two pills, I grab it and look at Zeke as I hold it up.

"For your hangover. Christina called this morning, she said she was worried about you."

"Christina's always worried." I sigh, praying that she just talked to him about my hangover, though with the mouth on her, I doubt that's the case.

Zeke sits forward in his chair, taking a big bite out of his own burger then says, "And she should be. You're not necessarily known for being a happy-go-lucky person."

I grunt, annoyed that not only do I have Christina prying into my life, but now Zeke too. Why can't they just stay out of my business, yesterday was a hard day, but I don't always act like a suicidal widow.

"Listen dude, I know that you have a right to be upset still, especially yesterday, but it's a little ridiculous that you still don't wanna talk about it."

I roll my eyes, the movement causing my headache to pulse, "Not you too. Why can't I just be a private person. Privacy is still a thing right?"

"Not when you can't even tell your bestfriend that you lost your virginity." Zeke mumbles, popping a fry into his mouth.

"Are you serious. Why the hell would she tell you that? And why on earth would you think that's any of your business?" I nearly yell, beyond angry that Christina doesn't known the meaning of a secret.

Zeke throws his arms in the air, frustrated with me, probably for some dumbass reason, "Because I'm your best friend! Remember when Shauna and I had sex for the first time? I came straight to you to tell you all about it, it's what friends are supposed to do."

"You're turning into Christina, Zeke. Besides it didn't matter anyway because it was the night before everything happened." I state, bluntly with my Four voice, trying to push away all the thoughts that threaten to consume my mind.

Zeke completely ignores my tone and continues to fight me, "But you led me to believe that my friend was a 21 year old virgin."

"I didn't lead you to believe anything, you just assumed."
