    By the time we finsh painting the entire room -- two coats -- its time for a late lunch. "China Star?" Tobias asks me, I nod, happy to finally eat something. China star is my favorite restaraunt, Chinese. "Just bring me home some to-go?" My mom asks as we walk down the stairs, our feet in sync and our shoulders brsuhing. She was eaves dropping on our conversation. "Sure, eavesdropper." She has a look of mock shock on her face, "Me? Wha- no, never!" I laugh, my moms the best. 

    We get in the car and Tobias places a CD in the sterio. I raise an eyebrow at him, he grins, "Its a suprise." I laugh and when I hear the intro to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift my jaw drops. He got the 1989 album already...? Lucky. "I STAY OUT TO LATE, GOT NOTHING IIN MY BRAIN; THATS WHAT PEOPLE SA-A-A-Y MMMHMM!" We scream the lyrics, forgetting all the bad that has happened to us. Which I am thankful for, its good to be put around a positive influence. I should just shake off the past... Okay, Okay that was cheesy.

   We pull into the restaraunt and he goes to the drive-thru lane, "What are you doing? Shouldnt we get moms last..." "I'm taking you somewhere." I nod in understandment, That makes more sense. We order and he drives us through town taking us somewhere where the only being that knows it exists is him. I'm not complaining though, its cute he put this much thought into this. 

    He parks and we get out, he grabs our food and a blanket from the back of his car... Picnic? Why make me feel this way so soon, Tobias. "Awe..." I gush, he takes my hand and kisses my cheek. He leads me through some trees and there is a little lake with a dock. He lays the blanket on the dock and sets down the food. "Eh?"He spreads his arms out and I accept his embrace. I can tell he put alot of thought into this. He smells so good...

    I pull away and we sit down, "Egg roll?" He offers, I grin accepting, taking a giant bite of it, not forgeting to put sauce on it first. "Man, I love this food.." I say, he nods. "Its pretty amazing." While we eat we play twenty questions, knowing more about each other. I found out his favorite color is black, he loves the movie Hunger games, he is a total book nerd, he is a pretty great cook, ect. 

When we finished eating we layed down, his arm is my pillow and he is playing with my fingers. This is peaceful. This is what I always wanted. He turns to his side so he is facing me and he grins at me, "What...?" I laugh. he gives me his bright smile and says, "Your beatiful." I shake my head and look down, he places two fingers under my chin and makes me look at his beautiful blue eyes. "Tris..." He trails off and we both slowly lean closer, I get nervous. He presses his lips against mine in a sweet manner, but four words bink rapidly in my mind,

Abuse.

Bruises.

Catastrophe.

Divorce.

I pull away quickly and he looks at me concerned, "What did I just do..." I cover my face with my hands and shake my head. "Whats wrong Tris? Did I do something?" Tobias asks, I blow. "Whats wrong? Did you seriously just ask me that question...? Whats wrong is that I was divorced five days ago, I already fell in love with someone else, and I just kissed them... Do you not see anything wrong with that?!" He looks at me intently. "Take me home, please." I whisper. "Tris..." 

"Please! Just take me home!"
