This is my new story, it's related to 'The notebook' even though I have never seen the movie, but it has a similar story line, so I don't own really anything…
"This is a opportunity of a lifetime Tris." Tobias says, delicately. Leaning in closer to me, he's frustrated, I could tell, It's quiet obvious.
"But what about me? What If we never see each other again?" I tried to stay calm, it wasn't working, tears filled in my eyes, his figure became blurry.
"I'll be back, I promise. What Jeanine did was not right, and I've been offered to be the General to track her down, do you understand how important this is?" He questions me, this could be the last time I ever see him. I feel sick at the thought. If I agree to this, then I might not see him for months, years, I may never see him again.
"I- I just don't want to lose you." I explained, I didn't try to hold in my tears, the rolled down my cheeks, the wind picked up, it was about to rain. I was being selfish, I know that. But I've spent my entire life being selfless, always thinking about others.
He pulled me in, close to him, "You wont lose me, I'll be back next year. And we can continue on, together, we'll be together, we'll get married. But all you have to do is hold off for one year. Okay?" I liked the thought of that, waking up to him cuddling me, every morning. Having a life, a family together. But what if a year passes, and he still doesn't come back? I could lose him forever.
I take a deep breath, "When are you leaving?"
"Zeke and I would board the train tonight, we have to be there by 11." He explained, not letting me go. It was already 9 o'clock. Two more hours.
"And I assume you would need time to pack, and say goodbye to everyone else." I frown, I can't even imagine him leaving, boarding the train, abandoning me. No Tris, he is not abandoning you, he promised he will be back, I just need to wait. They'll fine Jeanine soon enough, and she will be executed, and before you know it, he will be back, and we will continue life, as if this, 'pause' never happened.
"Yes, meet me here, at 10:45, we will say goodbye in private." I nodded. He kissed me on the lips, and as I separated we both disappeared.
The hour and a half went by slow, I sat in my dorm room, staring in the mirror, looking at the girl I've become, how much I've changed. I looked towards the clock, it read '10:35', just enough time to walk down to the pond, where Tobias told us to meet.
By the time I got there he was already there, he had his bags by his side, he was staring at the water, he didn't notice I there until I called his name "Tobais."
He turned around to see me, he smiled "Tris." I ran into his arms, I cried, defiantly not tears of joy. I could hear him cry too, but he was quiet, and he tried to hide them, unlike me.
We separated our hug, and kissed, the kiss felt like it lasted forever. Finally his clock beeped, it was 10:55. He has to be at the train.
We then separated from our kiss, "You have to be strong." He said. I nodded, he looked me in the eyes one more time, I saw a tear roll down his face. He slowly kissed me on the forehead. I closed my eyes, and got lost in his cool lips on my head. I opened my eyes, "Goodbye Tobias. I love you."
"Goodbye Tris, I love you too." I began to walk away, as he walked in the direction as the trains. Before I got to the door of the building I heard the train take off.
And like that, he was gone.
