Tobias x Tris

24

I let Uriah out and only a few minutes last until another knock comes to my door. I wait for another and sure enough it comes again. I slowly get up as the knocking continues. I turn the handle to unlock it and the door flies open with Tobias. He smiles weakly and I notice a bruise is forming around his neck. He has read marks on his face and he looks sad. He has a few split knuckles and his eye is already bruised. I stare at him and he shakes his head.

"'I'm sorry" He blurts out.

"I know, I just wish you would have listened to me," I am cut off by a huge hug. He just holds me there and I begin to feel wetness on my shoulder.

"Zeke and I got in a fight" He silently cries.
"What?!" I almost scream.

"After you left I punched him and he went at me, he tried to choke me but I knocked him out" A tear forms in my eye but I blink it away.

"Why is he so mad that I'm alive?" I question and he shuts himself away. He becomes cold and there is something he's hiding.

"Shauna, Shauna killed herself after you died" He says and I feel something snap. I don't know what it is but I break down. My legs give out but Tobias grabs me and sets me in my chair. I sit there, watching the wall hoping I will wake up even though I know that wont happen. Heat surrounds me as I watch a blanket fly on top of me and I'm soon squished to the side of my chair.  I take a quick glance at Tobias before resting my head on his shoulder and he strokes my hair.

"Tfios?" He says grabbing the remote.

"Please, no" I mumble trying not to let out a sob.

"The Hunger Games?" He asks again and I shake my head beginning to avoid contact. He sits there and thinks before he turns on Netflix. He switches on friends and I smile.

I end up letting darkness consume me before they can get through the intro and I feel a weight lifted off me. I love how you don't have to worry when you sleep. Every thought just slowly lifts away from you.

I wake to sun bursting through the curtains and I squint my eyes. A hand goes in front of the sun and every memory floods in. It doesn't stop with the game last night though, it begins to flow back to when I faked my death. I begin to get flashbacks of Tobias and the gang picking on me and I remember going days without food.

I can't go through that. Tears wet my face and I try to hold everything back.

I come out of my memories and I follow the hand to Tobias. I look at him and the tears are about to break through.

"Please get out. I don't want to do this again" I mumble and he looks at me with shock, sadness and a little bit of understanding. He gets up and I curl into my chair.

"I will, just please eat, Ill check on you" He says and gets up. I silently thank him as I wander around the room. I stare at some of the new pictures I hung up which consists of my initiate class, me and the gang, Tobias' date with me and a few others of my family. I find some old boxes Tobias said were mine and I find something. It's a box marked girls. I open it and there is a tone of stuff from Marlene, Shauna, and Chris. I find the dress Shauna told me she wore on her first date with Zeke. There is also a ton of pictures of her with Zeke. I lay out everything that was hers and I begin to place the photos in a scrap book. I take an old box and paint it. I put some decorations and slip some of her clothes and the scrap book in it. I put a note on the box that says rainbows wont stop more rain from coming.

I tip toe to Zeke's dorm and knock. I set the box down and run away before he can see me. I run into my room and lay on the couch. I hear a knock and get up expecting it to be Tobias to make sure I'm eating. I open the door to a hug from the person I least expected.
