-TL

I was just leaving MMA class when my phone started to vibrate in the back pocket of my jean shorts.

(Tris,Tobias)

Hey. Meet me at the rock.

Why? Is something wrong?!

No, stop assuming the worse and just get here.

Fine, be there in 10.

I put my IPhone 5s back in my pocket and climb onto my baby. It's a silver Honda's 2014 CB500F with red detailing on the front sides. I got it for my sixteenth birthday as a present from my dad. He's always buying me things to try to make up for the time he's not around, which usually always. But unlike the other gifts (bribes) I actually enjoyed this one, and have no problem with keeping it, the rest I sent back to him.

It's almost dark by the time I get to the rock. This place brings back a thousand memories, like the time Tobias and I were six and we decided it was a brilliant idea to climb the tree right next to it and then jump out trying to land on top of the rock. All I ended up with was a scratched up everything and a week of my mom pouring alcohol on them, NOT fun. Unlike me, Tobias not only landed on the rock as planned but landed on his feet! Now that I think about that it wasn't a good idea to begin with.

As I near the rock I see Tobias' 2010 red Camaro parked next to the tree we climbed, so I park my bike and get off to go look for Tobias. I don't like being out here at night and Tobias knows that. Usually he's waiting by his car for me but tonight he isn't. The sound of the leaves crunching under my shoes doesn't give me the best of feelings.

I creep around the huge rock hoping he's standing behind there but of course he isn't. I decided to give up and just call him, but as I reach into my back pocket to grab my phone, a hand wraps around my head, covering my mouth. Without thinking, I slam my elbow into the person's rib cage. Their grip falters so I grab their arm and throw them over my shoulder, THANK GOD for MMA classes. As soon as their on their back in front of me I go to kick them in the side but before I can they speak:

"What in the hell was that!?"

I know that voice, "Tobias? What do you mean what the hell was that? Why did you scare me like that! Asshole!"

I hold out a hand to help him up but instead of grabbing it, he pulls me down, too. Now I'm on my back beside him. He rolls over so he's on top of me, "Tris Prior, haven't you learned not to use your MMA tricks on me?" He's so close I can feel his breath against my face.

I try to control my breathing as I think of a smartass comeback. But I can't seem to think straight with him on top of me. "I.. uhh.. ummm… Do you think.. uhh you could get off of me now?"

Tobias looks me in the eyes and says, "Nah I think I like it better this way."

He leans in ever so closely, I can see the freckles splattered across his nose and cheeks now. The closer he gets the harder it is for me to control myself. You see ive kind of had a crush on Tobias for 3 years now and I have no idea what to do about it. I don't think he knows, and lord knows he wouldn't ever like me back. I'm his best friend, and all he sees me as is one of the guys.

He gets up and offers his hand to me, I take it.

"So why did you want me to come here?" I wrap my arms around my midsection hoping to stop the chill bumps; I don't know if they're from having Tobias that close to me or the fall air, but I'm going with the latter one.

"I don't know. I just figured we could hang out before we start back school. You know once it starts back I'm going to be busy with lacrosse and soccer and you with MMA and gymnastics and cheerleading, we'll never have time to be Tobias and Tris." He looks so sad, and I realize why now, this is his senior year, he's leaving after this. No more Tobias and Tris time. Who knows where he'll be off to, while I'm stuck year for another year?

I don't want him to leave without knowing how I feel and I want to tell him now but I don't want to lose my best friend so instead I say, "You're right. We need more best friend time. You'll be leaving me … I mean you'll be leaving Chicago soon." I can feel the heat in my cheeks from my slip up. He either didn't catch it or chose not to bother with it because he doesn't acknowledge it.

"This is our last year together Tris, I'm going to miss you."

I can't take it, I can't talk about him leaving because I can't deal with it. I feel the tears in my eyes, instead of saying anything back I run. I run to my bike, and hop on, pulling my helmet over my head. Tobias is almost as fast as I am but he doesn't make in time. I'm speeding out of there by the time he's by his car. The tears blur my sight, I can't see where I'm going. I know I cant go to my house because that's the first place he'll look for me. I make a sharp right instead of going straight, I'm going to Christina's house instead. Christina is my best friend, I met her in sixth grade when she moved here from New York.

I pull my back into her driveway and run to her front door and bang, screaming, "Christina! Christina!" all while sobbing. I hear her run down the stairs and pull open the door. I fall into her outstretched arms.

"He's leaving Christina. He's going to leave and not come back. What am I to do?"

"Tris you've got to tell him. Tell him, show him that you don't want him to leave. Tris, he's in love with you too. You don't see the way he looks at you when you're staring off into space, or how he looks at you when you're talking about something you love. He's always staring at you with this sense of admiration and caring." As she's talking I hear the soft purr of Tobias' car pulling into the driveway. I wipe my eyes with the heel of my palms as he's gets out of his car.

He runs over to me with a scared and worrisome look, "Tris!? Are you alright? What happened back there? Why'd you run away from me? Was it something I said?" He pulls me into his arms, running his calloused yet soft hand over the top of my head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I.. I just don't want to think about you having to leave. You're my best friend Tobias. You know everything about me. And I know everything about you. I've known you since I was 2! I don't want to lose you." I feel the tears coming back.

"Oh, Tris, you're not going to lose me. I'll visit every chance I get, we'll Skype every night, I'll call and text. And still that's a year away."

"I know but still. It's all anybody talks about now. You're lacrosse scholarship to Brown. Do you realize how far away Brown is? You'll forget about everybody here, including me." I know how insane I sound right now but I don't know what else to say. I'm worried.

"You know what I'm just going to go home. Bye Tobias. Bye Christina, sorry I woke you up."

As I'm walking away Tobias grabs my wrist. "Tris don't. Let me drive you. You're in no condition to drive, especially a motorcycle."

"Fine." I walk to the passenger side of his Camaro and slide into the leather seat. He stands there and talks to Christina for a minute, but I can't hear what they're saying. Before he gets into the car, I fall asleep.

I really hope you guys liked it, and if y'all have any ideas on how to make this story better, please review and let me know!
