I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I'll get right to the story. I don't own anyone besides Brian who isn't even in this chapter.
There's an awkward silence between me and Tobias. Before I came here I had figured he would need some explaining and stuff, but I wasn't expecting him not letting me talk until Christina got here. A few more minutes went by in the excruciating silence until we heard a pound at the door. Tobias gets up and opens it and a very, well, I guess the only word to describe the feeling I see on Christina's face is worried.
She stops walking when she sees me.
"Tris?" she asks. I nod my head. "But, how?"
"You two better sit down. Like I said, I've got some explaining to do," I say. They both sit down with a look of shock on their faces. I explain to them what happened to me. The fringe, the many years of waiting, everything.
"Then how do you explain your dead body?" Tobias asks once I'm done, obviously still not convinced that I am real. "We spread your ashes. I jumped off a building for you."
"You jumped off a building for me?" I ask, tears threatening to spill. He nods his head.
"The body," he says.
"What body?" I ask.
"Your body. You cold, lifeless body," he answers.
"I don't know about any body, but I'm guessing it was someone who looked a lot like me. That's possible. I read it in a book once that some people have an identical match that isn't related by blood," I say.
"Then if you really are Tris, then tell me something that only Tris could possibly know," he says.
"Ok, um…," I think back through all the time we spent together trying to think of something not revealed in the merciless mart. "One of your fears was shooting some woman, but it wasn't who you were shooting that mattered, it was the action of being able to shoot and kill someone. You said you were afraid of yourself," I say.
I watch the gears turn in place in Tobias's eyes.
"Tris," he says standing up. He walks over to me and wraps me in his arms. "Tris, Tris, my Tris," I can hear the sadness inn his voice.
"My Tobias," I say back. He loosens his hold a little and looks me in the eyes before crushing his lips to mine. I can feel the pain and the sadness through this one kiss. He pulls away and looks me in the eyes again before saying,
"I love you so much. Don't ever do that again." His lips are back on mine now. I barely hear Christina when she gets up.
"I think I'll go tell the others. I'll be back Tris," she says and I hear the slam of a door.
That's all for today. Thanks for everybody who reviews! I'll post again this week. Lets see where the next chapter takes us, shall we?
