Chapter 2
Tris's P.O.V
I close my eyes and take a step forward, preparing for the impact that will cause my death. I close my eyes and silently apologize for my cowardice. Yet before I even fall a foot someone grabs my arm. At first I'm startled, I mean, who wouldn't be? I'm about to plummet to my death then all of a sudden I basically get my armed ripped out of my socket! After I get over my confusion, I relized that I was relieved. I guess I'm not really ready to die. I'm gently pulled over the railing and back on to solid ground where I find my self face to face with Tobias… an angry Tobias. He opens his mouth as if to yell something vile at me but before he can mutter a word I just snap. I mean total mental breakdown. Tears start to spill over my eyes uncontrollably and Tobias just looks at me, shocked for a moment. I collapse onto the ground and hide my face not wanting him to see me like this, not wanting to see myself like this.
He kneels down beside my and whispers " what in the world were you thinking!" he says it in a shaky voice that sounds like he might just brake down to which I don't understand considering he was the one who broke up with me.
"what are you even doing here?" I manage to mumble between my sobs.
"what am I doing here? What are you doing here Tris, I can't believe you!" now he seems to get over me crying and his voice becomes hard and cold.
I start to calm myself down and he looks sort of relieved that I'm not sobbing anymore.
"what"s so hard to believe I'm tired of life, I was trying to solve my problems on my own, before I was interrupted."
"you are better than this Tris! You can't just run away from your problems, the Tris I knew would never do that" now I'm angry to. The Tris he knew! Well I guess when you dump someone they change you idiot is what I'm tempted to say. But decide against it
"well I'm not the Tris you knew now am i?" and with that I get up to leave but he grabs my wrist again, gently this time.
" Tris?" he says "look at me" it was more of an order than a question but I find my self obeying against my own will. When I turn around a spare tear seems to find it's way out and I quickly wipe it away, but the gesture doesn't go unnoticed by Tobias, and his gaze softens.
"can we just talk about this?" he says in a more gentle tone
"what' I say with a sniffle. Uhhh I hate him seeing me this weak!"is there to talk about?"
"Just come back to my place, we can get something to eat and talk, ok"
I don't think I can talk but I want someone to be with so I silently nod my head in agreement
"ok, lets go" he states as he leads me back to my apartment.
Tobias's P.O.V
I can't believe I just saved Tris's life. I mean it is something I've done before and so has she but it has always been from other people. I never thought I would have to save her from herself. Now I feel even worse about braking up with her, and I really hope that I didn't cause this. We walk back to my apartment in silence but I'm just relieved she isn't crying, she's alive and she agreed to come so I can make sure she will never try any thing like that again. We reach my apartment and I fiddle in my pocket in search for the key, than feel stupid relizing I didn't lock the door. I open the door for her and she walks into the apartment easily walking into the living room considering she's been here about a million times. I feel another pang of guilt and pain thinking that she hasn't been here for over two months and enjoy the look of her sitting on my couch. I'm just kind of enjoying the thought when I'm brought back to reality by Tris coughing.
"so" I say as I sit on the couch, not to close to her because I don't want to scare her away but I wish I was sitting much closer.
"do you want to tell me what happened tonight?" I say in an instructor voice trying to calm myself as well as her down
"you were there you know just as well as I do what happened tonight" she says ovoisly annoyed by my instructor mode so I turn it off and decide to jus be my self
"Tris" I say
"I was just done, ok? I didn't want to hurt anymore and I knew no one would miss me, so why bother?"
I'm taken back by her words. Does she honestly think that I wouldn't miss her? Because she is seriously mistaken. If she died tonight I would have thrown myself over the chasm right after her.
I think I would scare her if I tell her this so instead I say "you can't honestly believe that. You have Christina and Uriah and you will always have me," realizing a little too late what I just said. Now the dreaded subject of our break up will have to come up. I don't want talk about it but if it will bring her back into my arms I'll do anything.
"Always have you? Ha!" she says looking at her feet "that not what I remember you telling me 2 months ago" at this she looks up and I see tears glistening in her eyes.
"Tris, I'm so sorry" I scoot over and hug her not as a romantic thing but more as a friendly thing. She stiffens at my touch but soon she relaxes into my embrace. It takes all of my will power not to pull her back and fit my lips onto hers, especially when I think about the dream I had tonight. I'm not aloud to do that anymore, I wish I could.
Tris's P.O.V
"Tris, I'm so sorry" he whispers then he hugs me and it feels amazing but I can't let it feel amazing I have to get over him. I do. I still don't think it's will take him very long to get over me he's probably just being nice. That's what friends do for each other. When did we become friends? Oh who cares?
I pull back and say "I have to go"
"You need to get some sleep, you can take the bed I'll be fine on the couch,"
"It's fine, I can jus…"
"Tris," he says cutting me off "just go to bed"
I walk into the bedroom as a response and pull back the covers as I slip between them. I think back on the nights events and than decide I don't want to think about it. I just inhale his scent and it slowly takes over my brain as I fall into sleep.
I'LL TRY TO UPDATE SOON! GIVE ME IDEAS BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS STORY IS GOING, SO HELP! MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!
