Tris POV

I finally push past Tobias and grab the doorknob, only to find Zeke standing there with a pillow.

"What do you need?" Tobias asks sounding a little mad.

"Shauna kicked me out tonight" he said.

"What did you break this time?" Tobias asks like it happens often.

"Does this happen often" I asked kind of confused and concerned.

Tobias looks at me and says " every once and a while Zeke breaks one of shauna's  things and gets kicked out for the night" he says trying not to laugh.

"Yeah.... this time I snapped the heel of her favorite pair of shoes" he says while scratching the back of his neck.

Tobias gives me a look like he's asking permission for Zeke to stay even though it's his apartment, but I nod my head anyway.

"Come on Zeke, you have the couch" Tobias says.

" you two are sleeping together?" He says, trying to pretend like he doesn't already know the answer.

I throw a blanket at him and Tobias turns off the light.

Half way through the night I wake up to a snoring Zeke. So I end up never going to sleep. Then Tobias starts shaking slightly and I nudge vine slightly. He still doesn't wake.

"Tobias" I whisper trying not to wake Zeke up. But he still doesn't respond.

"Tobias" I say a little bit louder. Finally getting him to wake up.

He finally looks at me and swings his feet over the side of the bed and breathing heavily. I get up and walk to the other side of the bed and sit next to him.

I rub his back gently and tell him it was just a dream. He's still shaking slightly when I ask him softly " You know sometimes it helps me to talk about my nightmares"

He sighs and looks at me " Well it was Marcus he was in abnegation and I was in dauntless, but you went to visit your parents in abnegation. You ended up not coming home so I left and went to your parents house and asked for you, but they said that you had left hours ago. But that's when...." he started to trail off.

" but that's when what?" I asked him.

"But that's when I went to check my house. I walked in and Marcus had you tied up and he was beating you" he said with his breath shaking.

"It's ok" I say trying to calm him down.

" it's just I never want you to have to go through that." He looks at me and kisses my temple, then moves down to my lips and we kiss for a few minutes and the sun starts to rise. 'I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.'

See what I did there. I hoped you liked that quote this is my first story so sorry for the typos but I hope you like it.
