A/N Hello dear people who clicked this story. So this is going to be a short random thingy because I'm bored. In fact my computer at home is broken so this is being typed at the library. So yeah. Anyway this is probably going to be short but I got this random idea a couple days and I just feel like writing. So enjoy!
It's been four years since the war. I'm twenty now and Tobias is twenty two, we're engaged and everything has been okay. I see Caleb every now and then. He got asked by some former Erudite's to work as a scientist and I'm pretty sure he loves it. I also see Christina who eventually got together with Mathew and are happily married and expecting their first child. Peter even seems happy even though he lived his first year in Chicago in a constant confusion. I on the other hand have been alright, despite my legs. For the first year after getting out from the hospital I was wheelchair bound.
David, a man I once trusted, tried to kill me along with dozens of other people. He shot me three times. Twice in my sides and once in my spine. After months of trying to wiggle my toes and balance on my own feet, I can finally walk now. With the aid of a small metal cane of course. Everything changed for me but I'm used to it now. And I can walk farther and longer without the cane everyday. Right now though, I focus on getting dressed and putting my makeup on. Once I finish, I slowly walk out of my room clutching my cane in my right hand.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Tobias says leaning over the counter and placing a light kiss on my cheek. We've stayed together all this time and I can't describe just how grateful I am. He's gotten closer with Evelyn and I have to admit she's grown on me. And I think she's accepted that Tobias loves me. I give Tobias a small smile and grab an apple from the basket on the island.
"Morning," I say.
"How'd you sleep?" Tobias asks looking up from his coffee. I shrug.
"Okay, I guess. Nightmares of course, though." I mumble. Tobias and I both have old memories that haunt our sleep. They're both vastly different. Tobias nods to my words.
"I could tell. You kept muttering something but I couldn't tell what." he tells me. I nod and he hands me a cup of coffee. He begins to tap his fingers on the counter and avoid my eyes. He always does this when something's bothering him.
"Hey," I say and he looks up at me. "What's up? You seem...different." He shifts a little and takes a deep breath.
"Do you ever want to have kids?" he says quickly. I scoff and shake my head.
"Where's this coming from? I though you never wanted to have kids." I say tilting my head a bit. He sighs walks around the counter to stand in front of me.
"I don't know when I started thinking about it, but I just...I don't know. But don't you ever think about it? Like having-"
"No." I interrupt. "I never think about it because I never want it to happen." I know I sound harsh but it won't-can't happen.
"Tris, why can't you do this one thing for me?" he asks getting noticeably angrier.
"I'm sorry Tobias but no. I mean what if...what if we can't handle him or her? Or what if he or she just- no I-I can't." I stutter.
"That is the worst excuse I've ever heard." he rolls his eyes and looks away from me.
"Tobias I'm sorry, but no." for a moment I think he's anger's stalled and he'll calm down, but I'm wrong. He turns back to me and suddenly slams his hand on the counter.
"Tris, I have done so much for you. Can't you do this one thing for me?!" he shouts. I jump away from his sudden outburst.
"I'm sorry but listen to me." I say quietly.
"No Tris, I- Actually, never mind." he straightens and I fear what he's going to say next. "You know what, I've wasted four years of my life dealing with you and all of the shit that came with it and I'm done. And you know, if I hadn't helped you during initiation God knows you would've failed. Plus during the war I should've just let you kill yourself with all of those ridiculous stunts you tried." he finishes talking and when he doesn't immediately apologize I know he's serious. I can feel tears burning in my eyes and I nod.
"You're right. You should've. And if you hate me that much, be my guest and walk out that door." I shove past him and walk towards our room. Right before I close the door I turn and find him already looking at me. "And you should know these four years haven't been very enjoyable for me either, bitch." I slam my door shut and lock it. A shatter comes from outside my room so I suspect Tobias broke something. He usually does. I slide down the wall by the door and release a sigh.
Everything Tobias said back there was true. Even I know that I would've failed initiation if it weren't for him. Or I would've been killed if I hadn't known what to do with my Divergence. I shake my head and look down at my hands where my small black engagement ring sits on my finger. I slide it off and throw it across the room which I'll probably regret later. Footsteps comes from the other side of the door and I look up to make sure it's locked. The door knob shakes a little indicating he tried to open it.
"Tris," he eventually says. I don't respond, just remain silent. "Tris, I'm sorry I...I didn't mean anything I said. I was just...just angry, I guess." when I don't respond again, I hear him sigh and sit on the carpeted floor. "I swear I didn't mean a word I just said. It was all-"
"My brother says whenever people are angry they're more likely to tell the truth." I interrupt. "And it's okay, what you said was true. I would've failed initiation, and you should've let me die during the war."
"No-No don't say that, that's not true. Okay? Listen, I'm sorry." he says, his voice slightly muffled by the door. I go back to silence and I think Tobias does to. After a couple hours of sitting on the floor, I crawl across the floor to the dresser and use that to help me up. I don't feel like doing anything anymore so I just stumble towards my bed and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
A/N Was it good? Decent? So I know the characters seems a little OOC so sorry. So anyway like I said ^ up there this is just some random idea I had so I have no idea how far I'm going to go with it. Anyway please favorite, follow and review! :) Ily and DFTBA!
