Tobias's POV

"Tris!" I snapped at her at the table. She flinched back slightly, and I looked at her quizzically.

Why did she flinch? She never flinched anymore. And why did she flinch at my voice?

She must have just been surprised, I brushed it off as nothing.

"You alright? You faded out for a moment there." I asked.

"I'm fine." She said stiffly, not quite meeting my gaze. I furrowed my eyebrows.

What was wrong?

We were at Amity, to escape all the Erudite and Dauntless traitors, we had arrived last night, yesterday was when everything had happened, the attack on Abnegation, Tris's parents dying.

Right now we were eating dinner, with Christina sitting across from us and Marcus and Caleb next to her, with some girl that Caleb seemed to know with them.

I reached out to touch her cheek to see if she was alright when she flinched back.

I froze.

She had never flinched back when I touched her. Ever. She knew I wasn't going to hurt her.

Did she?

She stared at me in shock for a second, before hurriedly looking away at her hands, refusing to meet my glance.

"Tris?" I mumbled to her quietly, hurt.

"I'm not feeling to well, i'd better head off to bed." She said, ignoring me and addressing the others.

They all mumbled in agreement and continued eating.

I stared in shock as she walked off.

What was that all about?

She had been scared of me. Scared I was going to hurt her. Guilt flooded my senses as I watched her walk out. Why was she scared of me? What did I do?

She knew I'd never hit her. She knew about my father, and how I had vowed never to hit someone in anger of any kind. She knew how important that was to me.

I looked at my plate, not hungry anymore.

I need to go find her. I need to find out what was wrong.

I got up and everyone looked at me in surprise.

"I'm not hungry, I'm heading to bed." I said, pushing my plate away.

Caleb looked suspicious while the others just looked down, continuing to talk quietly among one another, finishing their food.

I quickly walked out of the room, getting a lot of stares from the Amity.

Of course they stared at me. They were the complete opposite of me. I was so different compared to them.

They wore bright colors I wore black clothes, they were happy and I was, well, stiff. And I was cold and 'mean' as they said.

Yeah, I heard some talk around about me. It didn't really bother me though.

I quickly walked through the many hallways to the room Tris and I were staying in.

I paused at the door.

What should I say?

I sighed, it doesn't matter, as long as you get to the bottom of this, I decided.

I turned the knob on the door quietly and opened the door, walking in.

I looked around the small room for Tris and was surprised to find her on the bed, her face against the pillow, shaking.

"Tris?" I asked quietly, shocked.

She jumped slightly and turned around to face me. there were tears in her eyes, but none had left them yet. She furiously wiped at them, trying to get rid of them but it only made it worse.

"What's wrong?" I asked, moving forward towards her and reaching out to her.

I stopped when she flinched back for the second time that day.

"I'm sorry Tobias!" She cried when she saw my hurt and angry expression. "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!" she cried, putting her head in her hands and sobbing.

I quickly moved towards her and wrapped my arms around her, feeling her stiffen when I first touched her, but then gently relax.

"Tris? Why are you scared of me? What did I do?" I asked, desperate to know why she was acting like this.

She sobbed.

"It wasn't you're fault Tobias, you couldn't help it."

I froze, suddenly realizing why she was scared of me. Of course! I should have realized sooner!

I backed away from her, disgusted with myself.

How could I do this to her?

"Its because of what happened when I was under the simulation, isn't it? When I almost killed you."

"No! Tobias, it wasn't your fault!" she sobbed a little more and looked at me. "You were under a stimulation. You couldn't help it."

I stared at her.

"Let me see them." I said suddenly.

"See what? Tobias, what are you talking about?"

"The bruises, where I hurt you." I said, breathing heavily. Realization crossed her face and then she slowly shook her head.

"No."

"Just let me see them Tris!" I said loudly, feeling my emotions start to take over.

She flinched in fear and I breathed deeply.

"I'm sorry, just, please Tris, let me see them." I pleaded with her.

"I can't let you do that to yourself Tobias." She said, looking me in the eyes. "You'll beat yourself up about it and I won't let you do that."

I breathed out deeply.

"I need to see them tris. It will help me. Please." She stared into my eyes before slowly nodding.

"Fine. But if you even start to feel bad I will kick your ass to the ground." I chuckled lightly at her choice if words but stopped when she started to lift up her shirt.

I sucked I a breath as soon as some of her skin became visible.

It wasn't bad, just a light bruise on the left side of her stomach. But I felt awful.

I had given it to her.

I started to reach out to touch it before I stopped and looked at her for permission. She nodded ever so slightly and flinched when my cold hand touched her stomach.

Tears came to my eyes and I started sobbing uncontrollably. She quickly drew down her top.

"Tobias, stop, it wasn't your fault, I knew I shouldn't have shown you."

I said nothing, but I pulled her towards me, ignoring her slight flinch when I did.

I folded my arms around her small body and hugged her tightly as she snuggled into my chest.

"Thank you." I whispered in her ear. She hummed an answer and snuggled in deeper.

"I promise I will never do it again." I mumbled against her hair.

"It wasn't your fault, you didn't do it, it wasn't you, they had you under mind control, you couldn't resist." She said.

"I'm just scared I'll turn out like him." I said, referring to Marcus.

"You will never turn out like him." She said fiercely, before reaching up and kissing me. I kissed back and soon fell asleep in each others arms.
