What Next

13|"...Who's First."

<Tris's POV>

I wake up on Four's hard chest. A smile stretches across my face. "Good morning."

"Good morning," he answers with his eyes closed. I kiss his cheek softly.

<Tobias's POV>

Her soft lips kiss my cheek. Chills run up my back. I see she retrieved her shirt in the night because of the cold. She gets up and puts on her shorts and shoes.

"Where are you going so soon?" I ask with great curiosity.

"I have to do my morning workout," Tris tells me. I laugh. "What?" She asks with a look of utter confusion.

"You work so hard, all the time," I tell her. She is so admirable.

"Why don't you come with me?"

"Maybe I will." I get dressed and Tris goes to her apartment to change into better workout clothes. When she is done we meet at the training center. Without saying a word she walks to the punching bags and gets right to it. I watch in admiration and then make my move.

I walk up to her and put my hand on her abdomen. "Remember when I did this?" A memory must flash through her head because she stops punching.

"Four this is serious, I have to stay fit now be a good boy and do your own workout!" I smile kiss her cheek and then go and do some pull-ups.

<Tris's POV>

He is so cute, but I have to stay fit. After our workout I decide that I will go hang out with my friends. I feel like I have been so involved with Tobias. It's really important that I stay in contact with my friends.

Tobias and I go our separate ways. I start to look for my friends. I look into the tattoo parlor and see Lynn, Marlene, and Christina looking at tattoo patterns. Marlene sees me and waves me over.

"Hey Tris!" She says happily.

"Hey, getting tattoos?" I ask. Maybe I should get a tattoo.

"Ya you want one?" Lynn asks rolling her eyes.

"Maybe." I start to walk around the parlor to find a pattern I want. Only one pattern catches my eye. It's a little more than a dozen small birds flying up. The only thing I can think of that it could mean to me is that the birds are flying up which symbolizes that thing can go up. In other words things will get better or stay strong. I take the pattern and bring it over to Tori.

"I want this one," I tell her sternly.

"Go sit down then," she says. I follow her orders. Tori walks over to me and asks me,"where?"

"On my lower arm," I answer. She gets everything ready and then gets to work. When she is done my arm stings lightly.

"Where to next?" Lynn asks us.

"How bout we ask Uriah if he wants to go zip lining with us," Christina suggests. I get excited fast as I think of the last time I soared through the air.

"Let's do it!" Marlene announces. "Where's Uriah?"

"I think he is-" Lynn starts to say but she is cut off my the one and only Uriah.

"I heard my name so here I am!" His famous smile flashes across his face.

"So you were eaves dropping?" Christina says smirking.

"Well um yes I mean no um maybe." We all start laughing. "How about we bring Will and Four with us so I'm not the only boy."

"Four is um busy," I say. Four isn't that busy. I just know that he happens to hate heights.

"Maybe Zeke?" Marlene suggests.

"No way! I need some time away from my brother," Uriah states. We nod and then go to find Will. Once we are all together we start running to the location of the zip line. By the time we get there it's about 3:00. We open the door to the top of the building. The wind is strong up here but the crisp air makes me smile. I breathe it in like I haven't been outside in months. We walk to the edge.

"Alright who's first?" Will asks. Christina's hand shoots straight up.

"Alright then step right up," Uriah announces gesturing for Christina to step up to the harness. "By the way we have new harnesses. These models have breaks on them so you can stop instead of drop." She nods and climbs in the contraption.

Uriah fastens the belts that go around it. They're are tears in the belts but Uriah let's go of Chris before I can say anything.

"No Uriah!" I scream. Christina starts to zoom off until one of the belts snap. "Pull the break!" I yell to her. She does.

"What happened?" Will asks with all the color drained from his face.

"The belt snapped, and the other belts are going to do the same. If we don't get her off of there she could fall and we all know she won't survive that drop. We will loose Christina forever."
