Tris P.O.V
I opened my eyes to complete darkness. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I could feel a cold metal table underneath my back and my wrists and ankles were strapped down. I tried calling out for help but I had no voice. That was when the lights came on and I saw her. Jeanine Matthews. She had a syringe filled with purple liquid in her hand and I started to struggle more and more until finally I felt the prick of a needle being inserted into my neck.
I screamed as I woke up in my bed. I started reaching for Tobias when I realized that he wasn't there. I could barely pull myself out of bed I was shaking so much. I threw on a pair of black sweats and a navy blue tee shirt as I left the apartment to find Tobias. I knew there were only a few places he could be. Our spot at the Chasm, the training room, or going through his fear landscape. Since it was three in the morning I went to the training room first.
I walked in to see Tobias hitting and kicking a punching bag. He stopped when he saw me. He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he started over towards me. "Why are you up? It's three A.M. Go back to the apartment and sleep." he told me.
"I had a nightmare. I noticed that you weren't in bed so I decided to come and find you. Why are you here anyway?"
"I couldn't sleep so I came here to clear my head. What was your nightmare about?" He asked. I started shaking again at the very thought of Jeanine Matthews. He walked right up to me and grabbed my face so that I had to look at him. "What's going on Tris?"
"I had another nightmare about Jeanine Matthews. She was going to kill me with that serum. I screamed as I woke up." I told him quietly. He looked at me for a while longer before pulling me into a tight hug.
"She can't hurt you anymore. Jeanine is dead. I'll go back to the apartment with you." He told me. He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the training room together. His hand was disgustingly sweaty so I pulled my hand away. He looked at me and his eyes showed that pulling my hand away hurt him. "What's wrong?"
"Tobias...you're hand is really sweaty and it's gross." I said laughing. He smiled at me as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I put mine around his waist. "And no offense...you smell worse than shit." He laughed again as we got closer to the apartment. I opened the door and as I walked in Tobias pushed me against the wall and started to kiss me. I didn't even care that he smelled bad or that he was really sweaty, all I could think about were his lips on my neck and how much I wanted him. He took his shirt off and pushed me on the bed so that he was on top of me. He deepened the kiss and for once I didn't care. I don't know how my shirt came off, but it did and I froze. I didn't want him to see how tiny and angular my figure was.
Tobias noticed the tension in my body and looked at me. He smiled slightly as he kissed my forehead and rolled off me. "I'm taking a shower, because apparently I smell worse than shit." I faked a laugh and he propped himself up on his elbow to look at me. "I know you're not ready. But you need to know that I know what you look like, and I think that every part of you is absolutely beautiful. Why can't you see that Tris?" He asks.
"Because I'm not beautiful. I don't like like a sixteen year old girl. I'm just scared that you won't like what you see." I start blushing, but he just kisses my lips lightly before getting in the shower. I check the clock next to our bed. Four AM. I threw my shirt back on and crawled under the sheets. I heard Tobias crawl into bed with me and pull me close, and I fell asleep with my head against his chest.
