Tobias' POV :

It's been a year now, since she died. I can't say her name, my fists clench and my teeth grit. Why her ? Why her from everyone ? Just why ?
People say time is the best healer. I disagree.
Every day I wake up and my stomach sinks, I remember I don't have her.

Tris.

The factions are gone , everyone free , wearing what they want and being who they want.

Christina and I are lawyers, working together as friends, with her original background of being Candor and my braveness from dauntless we make a good amount of money. I have a 3 bedroom house , even though it's just me. I haven't decorated it - probably my abnegation.
I hear the door bell.
" Tobias, are you in ?" Christina shouts.
"I need to tell you something ..." She stutters.
I realise I was still staring into space , again. I quickly get up wipe my blue jacket and black jeans , even thought there was nothing on it.
I run to the door to see Christina with red marks under her blood shot eyes. I look down and see her hands shaking .
Questions start to build up in my mind , I feel light headed and I try to sturdy myself. "Come on Tobias" I think to reassure myself.
" Whats wrong ?" I try to say as casually as possible even though I'm running short of breath .
" Caleb ... Caleb ... Caleb" she says whilst her eyes starts to widen.
" What happened to Caleb?" I say whilst my eyebrows furrow and a drop off sweat trickles down my forehead.
"I'm not entirely sure , I went to his apartment to borrow some flour , I wanted to bake dauntless cake to remind me of the older memories. The door was unlocked , I walked in to find him slouched in the corner dead with a purple needle his right arm ... His face so innocent... But then I realised that his left hands fingers were loosely on the handle of the needle... With ... With .... With". Christina says shaking again with tears streaming down her cheek.
"With what? I shout frustratedly, I didn't mean to be that loud but I just hate this anticipation.

" With a wire at the end of the needle needle connected to ...

Tris.

Tris' neck... Come with me" Christina whispers.

I don't know how to feel.

Is my Tris alive ?

Did Caleb kill himself ?
