Hi everyone, this is my first ever FanFiction on this site. Please leave a review on how you think this chapter is and how you think it could improve. Yes, it is a little bit of a short chapter but I am very excited to be posting it.

Chapter 1: The Vial
TOBIAS POV
I stare at my reflection in the mirror, thinking about the possibilities. I feel the small glass vial in the palm of my right hand, it feels slightly cool. I don't know why I would want to continue on my life like this. Tris is gone, she was the only one who could make me feel brave and fearless. She always made me stronger no matter what I did. I don't know if I'd rather forget everything than live with the grief and pain that her death caused me. I loved her more than I think anyone could imagine. I remember the first time I ever saw her, the beautiful and insistent eyes staring at me after I had helped her up from the jump. The Stiff, who jumped first.
I take a deep breath, and begin to bring up my arm from my side. Do I really want to forget my memories? I can't imagine life without Tris. Loving another woman, marrying them even. It's crazy, how would I do it?
If I don't remember Tris, maybe I could get by and have a normal life. Maybe I could have children and a family. I switch my gaze from the mirror to the smooth glass vial in my hand. I uncurl my fingers to reveal the liquidy substance being held inside. I am going to do it. The grief ends here. No more suffering from the past. Only the present. That is all I will have. Right now, it's all want.
As I carefully squeeze the cap off the vial, I am stricken with a sudden wave of nausea. My knees feel weak and my hands are shaking. Goodbye, Tobias Eaton. This is the end. I lift the vial of liquid to my mouth, and before let it drip in my mouth and down my throat, my last thought is the single word "Tris".
