Tobias POV
I wake up to find Tobias not next to me in bed. I become concerned then look around for him. He's not in the bathroom, the bedroom, or the kitchen. I start freaking out and start shaking. I try calling his phone and he doesn't answer. I yell out for him and left the compound and run over to Zeke's room. I enter the room and run into something, an invisible wall. "Agh!" I yelled. I turned around and saw the last person I wanted to: Marcus. He had a long black belt and he hit me with it. It struck my skin roughly and my abdomen, where he hit me, started bleeding as I fell to the floor. I look up at him and see Tobias behind him with a gun to Marcus' head.
"Get away from her." He spoke in his instructor Four voice.
Marcus looked startled and turned around. They both laughed with each other and then Tobias pointed the gun at me instead. So many thoughts run through my mind; like how he would ever side with his father, and more importantly, why he would attempt shooting me? I looked pleadingly at him but he still looked cruel and cold, his stare blank. He pulls the trigger…
I'm shaken awake with Tobias straddled over me with his eyes glassy. I move back against the headboard breathing heavily. I don't know if I was dreaming or what happened, but I'm terrified to see Tobias near me.
"Tris! What happened a-are you okay?!" He said almost screaming still holding me tight; his voice is shaking.
"Is he here?" I say
"W-What? Tris, is who here?"
"HIM!" I yell and start sobbing into my hands. He understands what I mean and a tear rolls down his face.
"T-Tris he's not here but-" He keeps speaking with a shaky voice.
I jump onto him with my arms around his neck sobbing into his bare chest. He held a hand at my waist and one petting my hair. He kisses me softly and places my head on his chest leaning his head onto mine.
"Tell me what happened." He said through my hair
"I-I saw him," I shuttered when I spoke, "h-he did what he did to you, but to me." His grip on me tightened when I said this. "Then you came and you had a gun to his head," Tighter, "then you laughed with him. Th-Then you shot me!" I cried into him. He pulled away from me and kissed me, passionately, almost hungry. When I pulled away for air our foreheads connected.
"Tris… You know I would never do anything to hurt you." He lifted my so I looked dead in his dreamy eyes, "I will never let him-come near you. If he does I'll kill him."
"I love you Tobias."
"I love you too, Tris"
He kisses me and I turn facing him. The last thing I see before I drift off are his eyes looking at me dreamily.
