Divergent High

Chapter twenty five

Tris pov

I lay in bed watching as Tobias does his tie over and over again for work.

I giggle and get out of bed to help him.

"What's wrong? You re-did this tie 10 times already. You normally tie it on the first." I whisper to him as I fix it for him.

"I just don't want to see our parents today. I know it's your dad's birthday but they are going to ask questions about our life I don't want to answer" he tells me

"Well maybe this is good for us, especially for you since you never want to talk about anything with me" I say

"I have to go" he says once I finish his tie.

He goes to leave but turns back and pecks my lips. I was wondering if he was going to kiss me goodbye or not.

"Come by the station for lunch, we can talk" he tells me and I roll my eyes nodding.

He sighs and walks out of our room.

I have lunch with Tobias in an hour but I had to stop by the store and pick up a gift for my dad.

The lady in front of me is holding up the line but I don't mind. Her son begin to cry which catches my attention.

"Please mommy. I worked so hard for the toy. I did really good in school" the little boy says to his mom

"I know sweetie. Next time I can get it, I thought I had enough for the toy" the mom explains and I shrug, let me help this lady out.

"How much does she owe" I ask the cashier pulling out my wallet.

"Twelve dollars" she tells me

"Here" I say handing the cashier a twenty.

"Oh Ms you don't have to do that" She tells me and I shake my head no.

"No. It's okay, you must be so proud of your boy, as a mother all you want to do is give your children the world because they deserve it" I say

"Are you a mother" she ask me as the cashier hands her her sons toy

"Yeah I am" I lie, holding back the tears

"Well your children have such an amazing mother on their hands. Thank you so much" she says and walks away so the line can keep moving.

I stare off into space but the cashier interrupts me.

"Your total is..." she says and I just hand her my card.

I miss my babies.

"Are you sure you're okay? You haven't touched your food at all" Tobias ask me as we eat lunch in his office.

"I'm just thinking of the girls. A lady and her son at the store made me think of them earlier and now they won't leave my mind" I say

"Way to ruin my appetite" Tobias says sighing

Getting up from his couch where he was sitting next to me and returning to his desk.

"Did I say something wrong" I ask him annoyed

"Tris just go. I will see you at your parents house" he tells me typing on his computer.

"Tobias, what just happened. We were eating, everything was fine until I brought up the girls. You're my fiancé I would like to think I could talk about our daughters to you" I say

"That's the thing tris. I don't want to talk about them. I just want to forget. Like they never existed. It kills me to know they are not here with us" he says
