Divergent: The Flip Side

Chapter 14

Tris POV:

I am sat in the lunch hall, with the girls trying to comfort me. The boys are trying to distract me from what has just happened by being stupid. But, all I can think about is Tobias.

It's my fault that all of this happened. I should have let Tobias come along with me, then Eric wouldn't have gotten the chance to do anything to me. But, I didn't. So now, Tobias is in loads of trouble, and I feel terrible.

We have been waiting for ages for Tobias to return from the principles office, and I'm beginning to get worried.

"I'm just nipping to the bathroom" I lie.

Christina instantly jumps up saying, "I'll come with you"

"I can go on my own" I reply while pushing Christina back down into her seat. She eyes me suspiciously as I walk out, I forgot that she can tell when someone lies! At least she didn't call me out on it.

I walk straight to the principles office, but when I look in, Tobias isn't in there. Instead, it's Eric and Peter, who both look very rough and annoyed.

I walk the long way back, going outside, incase I see him anywhere. As I am walking back, I see a figure hunched over, sitting in the football stands. I make my way over to it, hoping it's him.

Tobias looks up at me in surprise as I near him, letting me see that it is definitely him. I run up to him, into his arms, with tears rolling down my cheeks.

He just hugs me, patting my back in a reassuring way for a few minutes, before whispering into my ear, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let this happen to you!"

I reply, "There was nothing more you could have done, you saved me from him, you're my hero"

He smiles, then explains, "I couldn't bear to see you being hurt like that, just seeing another guy kiss you broke my heart, and it was even worse that he was forcing you! I felt so angry, I shouldn't have beat him up that badly, I should have stopped myself. I'm just like Marcus!"

Shocked, I reply, "No you're not, you're nothing like Marcus. You have a heart and can love people. Also Eric deserved it and I am so grateful for what you did for me!"

"I love you, you do realise that?" He asks, while kissing me on top of my head.

I smile back and say, "I do, and I love you too" Then I kiss him on the cheek.

He brushes his lips against mine, while muttering, "I love you three"

I reply back, "I love you four", then I realise what he just did and complain, "You did that deliberately!"

"Yes, yes I did" he says, before caressing my cheek and slowly leaning in to kiss me. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back, forgetting about all of my worries from today.
