Authors Note: Hi, guys! I haven't had the time to write in such a long time, but this idea for a story just kind of came at me recently and I couldn't let it go unwritten! This story is going to be a countdown leading up to Tobias' wedding day with a whole lot of sadness (and possibly happiness?) thrown in the mix. Chapter One is in Tobias' point of view, but each chapter will differ in regards to who's telling the story. I also haven't given up on and i stll love him; it's been awhile, I know, but I'm hoping my muse for it will come back very soon!

Feedback is welcome, I encourage it, actually!


He's getting married in two months.

And he still can't believe it.

Tobias Eaton never thought that he would be the type to ever commit on such a level. Throughout his entire life, he had never witnessed even one marriage work out for the better.

Yet, here he found himself- beer in hand, the brightness of the television dimly lighting up their poorly lit living room apartment as he watched his bride-to-be flip through wedding magazines with heavy eyes.

And god did she look beautiful. With her auburn colored locks twisted back into a messy bun, pen dangling through her fingertips, feet crossed at the ankles, the city lights outside of their apartment window illuminating her body in just the right way.

Fuck, he was so enthralled by her.

And she must have sensed him staring, because soon she was facing him, gaze locked with his own. It was only natural now that he could feel a smile dancing on his lips.

"What are you looking at?"

She's already crawling onto his lap when he musters up an answer, her hands resting on the back of his neck.

"You," he replies lamely, his own hands finding their place on her hips. "Just still can't believe you're going to be my wife in two months."

"Well, Mr. Eaton... You best start believing it. I don't want you to be surprised on our wedding day when you find out it's me walking down the aisle to meet you."

Her laughter echoes throughout their living room, and Tobias can only smile in response. It reminds him of the first day they met, when Zeke sneakily set them up and they surprisingly hit it off. They were a mess of laughter that day.

He remembers when he first laid his eyes on her, thinking that there was no way they would hit it off. She was extremely pretty, but he could've sworn she looked more like Zeke's type than his own. And, god, he remembers feeling so stupid when she proved him wrong.

This girl was his second love, the girl that reminded him that he was allowed to move on from his first love. She taught him what it felt like to love again, opened his eyes in so many different way- made him realize that love was something much bigger than merely a passing feeling. She understood him on a level that didn't look like pity when he told her about his past. We have a lot more in common than you think, was what she had said and in that moment, fuck did he want to hurt every single person that had ever hurt her.

Tobias loved her, he really did, but always had the feeling that there was something missing. His second love was everything he had hoped for it to be, but none of that compared to his first love.

And he hated himself for even having that thought.

"I think I'll always be surprised that you're going to be Mrs. Eaton in a few weeks," he said with a small laugh.

"Mrs. Sienna Eaton. I think it has a nice ring to it,"

"Yeah. Yeah it does." Tobias says, his eyes closing tight as she presses her lips to his cheek.


Authors note: And that's the first chapter! I'm sorry that it's a little short. The next chapter will be in Tris' point of view, and it's actually already written so all I need to do is proofread it, so it should be up extremely soon!
