Tobias POV
When I wake up, I have a splitting headache. Nevertheless, she is so warm, right there next to me, that I am comfortable to simply lie there. Then I look at the clock. 11:00! She is scheduled for her job placement meeting in fifteen minutes! I gently kiss her awake. "Whaddyawant?" She groans. "Job placement meeting, Tris" "Shit!" She is suddenly wide awake. She jumps out of bed, but then almost falls on the floor. "MY HEAD!" "I know, right!" I complain. We laugh.
Somehow, we get to the meeting in time. Peter is standing with Eric, looking mad at him. Eric, though, for the first time, looks tired. We walk over. "Hey, where's Max?" Tris says. Eric looks even more tired. When he answers, he speaks to me. "He died, Four. Last night, he had a stroke. He never acknowledged the fact that he was getting a little too old to drink so much at once." "WHAAAATTTT?" Everyone jumps. "Sorry," I say sheepishly. "Well, anyway, straight to the point," Eric continues, "Max left a will saying that if he died, he wanted Tris to replace him." Tris goes very pale. I have to come to her rescue. "Tris, you don't have to..." "Thank you Eric, I will take the position." She interrupts. "Okay, you will start training tomorrow. Please report to the control room at 9:00 sharp. You are dismissed." She turns and walks away.
Back at the apartment, I cannot contain it any longer. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? YOU DISREGARD MY SUGGESTION, INTERRUPT ME AND TAKE A POSITION AS A LEADER? YOU IDIOT!" I go over and try to smack her. I want to hurt her, kill her even, and I don't even know why. But she dodges my swing. At the door, she stops and turns to face me. "Sorry I disobeyed you, Four. Are you going to hit me now, for my own good?" She turns and runs out the door, crying.
