"Hey," Tobias whispered,
"Hey," I replied. I stepped to the side as Tobias quickly slipped into the room through the room. I made sure the door was locked before drawing the blinds. Tobias crashed into my bed, I stiffened at the sound. I gave him a stern look, if we got caught, I couldn't even comprehend what our punishment would be. He stuck his tongue out at me and I rolled my eyes.
I plopped myself beside him so we were lying on my bed and facing each other. If someone from our faction would see us, they would be disgusted. I didn't care anymore, not with the limited time I had with him.
I could hear Tobias' heart beat as I was enveloped in his arms. The smell of sweat in his shirt did not stop me from burying my head into his chest. For a few long minutes we lay in bed, wrapped together like there was no tomorrow.
"I'm sorry," Tobias said, resting his chin on my head,
"Sorry for what?"
"That I'm leaving." The words struck me hard in the stomach. Although I wanted him to stay badly, I knew how much he was desperate to leave. I understood that he couldn't stand the violence his father, Marcus Eaton, had put him through. I remembered seeing him coming to school one day with a turtle neck to cover the bruises that were a hideous shade of purple,
"It's not your fault," I whispered after a while. I shifted so that I was looking into his dark blue eyes. I was immediately lost in their vastness. I just wanted to lie like that for as long as we could. He gave me an appreciated smile and brushed a wisp of hair away from my face, my skin tingled at his touch. I wanted his hand to stay on my cheek for ever but I knew that was ridiculous. For some time we continued to gaze into each eyes, I had the urge to tell him everything about how I wanted us to be more than just friends but it was hopeless. By tomorrow he would move to another faction, Erudite most likely because he's good with computers, and I would stay in Abnegation till I'm wrinkled and old. I watched him plant a kiss on my forehead and slip out the window. I already missed him.
