After Allegiant

Chapter 17

Tris

He moves slowly, insisting he can move and walk without a wheelchair or cain.

I follow him.

He stops and sighs. I hand him the cain. "I can do this on my own!" he yells.

Christina turns the corner and faces us. "Four is in a good mood!" she says with a sarcastic grin.

"Shut your mouth," he commands in a deadly voice. She looks down.

"Uriah is almost ready. He went to the kitchen to get some food for the journey."

"I think we should delay the trip for a few days. T-Four..."

"I can do this!" he yells again.

"No you can't," I say firmly.

He turns his body to face me.

"I have had worse injuries than this. I will survive," he says as calmly as possible. His voice rattles. I can hear his teeth chattering in anger.

I turn my head back to face the opposite way, not wanting to see his painful glare. I hear a vibrating BAM. I turn my head to see Tobias leaning against the wall in pain.

Peter turns around the corner, heading towards his new office I suppose.

"Do you need help sir? I could escort you back to your room. Are you lost? Do your remember anything?" Peter asks with a snickering grin.

Tobias clenches his fists.

"Here, let me help you," he says as he wraps his arm around Tobias' shoulder.

Tobias grabs Peter's arm and yanks it forward bringing Peter flipped over like a hamburger. Tobias kicks him in the throat.

I don't stop him. Peter did antagonize him.

Tobais begins to limp in my direction.

"We will all meet by the main entrance in ten minutes," I say as we part ways.

We slowly head back to the hotel in silence. Tobias grabs the knife and gun he's been hiding near his mattress, and I grab my mother's journal.

We walk to the main entrance in silence and sit next to the door on a bench.

They come around the corner. Peter, Ray, and Caleb follow.

Uriah, Christina, Tobias, and I stand in a line waiting for the goodbyes to come.

Caleb hugs me tightly, but I hesitates to hug him back.

"I can't tell you how sorry I am. I almost killed you. Mom and Dad would be proud of you," he says as he digs into my shirt to hide his tears. I wrap my arms around him, but I can't say anything back. I just nod. he backs away. I nudge Tobias and he holds out his hand. Caleb goes straight for a hug. Tobias's mood changes, so he hugs him back.

"Take care of my sister," he says as a tear falls out of his right eye and glides down his face.

He shakes Uriah's hand and waves at Christina.

Ray walks towards me and hugs me. After a moment, I try to pull back, but he doesn't let go.

"You can let go now," I say.

"What if I don't want to," he whispers.

"You're not mine," I whisper back.

"But I will be," he says as he hugs me tighter. He kissed my neck harshly. His rough tongue grabs my neck and few strands of hair cling to his saliva.

I pull back and slap him.

"Get your hands off her!" Tobias commands and yells.

"Fine," he says as he walks over to him.

He whispers something into his ear that I can't hear before turning back to Caleb.

Tobias's expression makes it poignant to everyone that he feels angry and worried.

"Bye," Peter says abruptly.

I wave back at Caleb. One tear flows down as he smiles.

I walk out the door and don't turn back.

OMG 6k! Tell your friends!

So tbh I don't know where Tris and Tobias are gonna go. I gotta think about the possible places and worlds that could be around in the future.

Maybe the giver?

Maybe they'll go to the hunger games?

Maybe there is a peaceful world with good living?

Maybe a dictatorship that's still like America?

I don't know. any ideas?

Thanks guys!
