Chapter 4

Tobias POV

Where is she? She said that she wouldn't be longer than 2 hours. Maybe something happened in Erudite. I was going crazy. 'Think Tobias, just think'. I say to myself. I look at my watch. It was 6:00 PM. She could have gone to the Pit. I decide to go there with hope she might be there.

When I get to the pit, I see our group of friends sitting there. But no Tris. I sign deeply and decide to sit with them. 'Hey mate, where's Tris?' Uriah asks. 'If I'd know, I would tell'. I snap. I immediatly regret snapping at him. He can't help Tris isn't here. 'What do you mean'? Christina meddles in. 'She left for Erudite this afternoon to attend some business and she hasn't returned. I'm getting worried because she said she wouldn't be gone long'. I respond. 'She come back eventually, maybe she just stayed with her brother'. Will suggested. I think about it, it does sounds like Tris.

After sitting in the Pit for over an hour, I decided to head back to my apartment hoping she would be there. As I'm walking, I see a figure walking towards the apartment. The figure is more limping than actually walking. I know it's Tris, I would recognize her anywhere. I frown, did she hurt or something? At same time I was angry with her. Where did she stay this whole time? I follow her and make sure I stay behind here.

She opens the door to the apartment, likely hoping I'm there. I decide to say something:

'Where have you been'

Tris POV

As soon as I turn around, I see a mixed expression on Tobias's face. Anger and concern are the most evident. I open my mouth to say something, but I have no idea how to say what has happened. He'll be so angry with me if discovers I went behind his back. I take a deep breath and start explaining:

'I went to Erudite to tell Jeanine about Marcus. I just couldn't bare anymore to see you suffer and the fact that he's still the leader of Abnegation. He doesn't...,

'You did what?' I cring at the hard voice of Tobias. I knew that this would happen. 'Tris, why didn't you tell me you where planning this. I was extremely worried something would have happened to you. And now I hear that you went behind my back to tell the Erudite leader about my father. How could you?' Tobias says angry. I take another deep breath and respond: 'I only did it because I couldn't stand the thought of him being the leader of Abnegation. And I cared about you'. I said softly looking away from him. 'My father is going to replace him, Jeanine wanted that. You may not believe me but she was actually shocked. She though Marcus was a kind man'.

I looked at him. He was still angry with me. I couldn't blame him. 'Why are you limping?' He asked looking at my leg. 'After going to Abnegation, I was in a rush to get back. I jumped the wrong way of the train and I sprained my ankle, I think'. I look down. I don't want to tell how much it actually hurts. I walk, no limp up to him. I put my hand on his cheek. 'Tobias, can you please just understand that I did this for you?'. I look up at him. I can't make up the expression on his face. 'I just..., I just need time to think' He says before walking out of the apartment.

I have the feeling I'm going to crumble. Without his warmth, I feel cold. Without him, I'm nothing. I sign and sit on the bed. I put my right ankle up and take my shoe and sock off. My ankle is completely swollen up. I touch it but flinch at it. I think I may have broken it. Great, just what I need. I take my other shoe and sock off and put the covers around me. I don't bother put on my pyjamas. I turn to my side and fight the tears. away that are threating to fall. 'You're Dauntless, don't let your weakness bring you down'. I say to myself. But I can't. Tears fall as a waterfall over my cheeks. I bury my head in my pillow and start to sob.

I can't take it any longer. The pressure is too much. Tobias was right, I was putting to much pressure on myself. And now it was breaking me down. A familiar arm made it's around my waist and pulled me close. I stiffen. Tobias. Has he forgiven me already? For going behind his back? Or is he just pitying me because I was crying? I turn around. 'Tobias?' I say shakily. He has been crying to. His tear stained face shows it. 'Shhh, it's alright'. He says while pulling me to his chest. I start sobbing uncontrollably in his chest. He holds me in his strong arms while I break down. I don't know what I would do without him.

I stop sobbing and look at him. I wipe away a tear that is rolling down his cheek. 'Why have you forgiven me so quickly?' I ask shakily. He looks me deep into my eyes. 'Because I love you and you did it because you care about me. And I can't stand to see you upset'. His voice had much emotion that I have swallow the tears to come. 'Now, let me see your ankle'. He sits up and picks up a bandage. 'This isn't necessary you know'. I snort. I show my ankle and he grimaces. 'I know it, it looks bad. I think it might be broken'. I say. I flinch and bite on my teeth when he touches it. He then carefully wraps up my ankle. When he's done he pulls us back under the covers. I lean closer and kiss him. He deepens the kiss and pulls me on top of him. We pull away when we need air again. 'You know I love you right?' He looks at me sternly. 'I know you do, I love you too'. I whisper back. He smiles and pulls me back into the kiss. He puts his hand under my shirt with me not even knowing it. I was too lost in the kiss. He pulls back. 'We need to get some sleep'. He stats. I then notice how tired I was. I didn't want to tell him what happened in Abnegation with Marcus. He'll only get more angry. Not at me of course, but at his father. I sign and get off him. I put me head on his chest and soon fall asleep to the rhythmic beating of his heart.

So this chapter is rushed a little. But I wanted to update asap. For the next chapter I want to something is the POV of one of the initiates. In chapter 3 the names are enlisted. Please review in which (new) character you want a POV from. I have no idea which one to do.

P.S: I'm reading Allegiant now (finally) and I can't help feel sad for Tobias as he is going to lose Tris. I already know the ending because of the stupid spoilers -_-
