Tris goes into the bathroom and I sit there. I pull a muffin out of the bag and take the wrapper off. I take a huge bite, eating almost half of it, and then someone knocks on the door to the bedroom.
"It's Christina!" Christina shouts and I scramble to my feet. I pull the door open and see Christina standing there with a hunk of shirts and pants and other stuff. "They're Uriah's. I found them in his room thingy." She shakes them at me, not really paying attention.
"So . . . what do you want me to do with them?" I ask looking back at the locked bathroom door. Christina peers around the door and looks at the bathroom. "Who's in there?" She asks but then she says, "I thought you were, well are, insane and maybe you wanted them for Uriah just in case you want to take his dead body too." She says it like a joke.
The bathroom door opens and Tris walks out in the clothes, fitting her form perfectly. "Thanks Four! They're perfect! Who was at the do–" she stops when she sees Christina and drops my clothes on the floor. "Tris?" Christina breathes, and drops Uriah's clothes.
Tris looks down shyly and then looks up again. "Ta-da! I'm alive!" She throws her hands in the air on 'ta-da'. Tris laughs and Christina comes racing in and throws herself at Tris. "Oh my god, you're alive!" Her voice is choked with tears and she picks Tris up and squeezes her . . . hard . . . "Too . . . tight!" Her voice is strained and she is captivated in Christina's grasp. Christina drops Tris and takes a long, deep breath. "Oh my, I'm so so sorry!" Christina yells and grabs Tris' arm.
It's a funny sight. I burst out laughing and have to go sit on the bed. I hold my stomach and after a moment, Tris and Christina do the same. "I'm sorry, Four, that I didn't believe you and I'm sorry, Tris, for almost killing you." She wheezes. We're still laughing after about five minutes, and my stomach hurts really bad.
After a while, Christina leaves to go tell the others and leaves me alone with Tris. Tris takes a bite of a chocolate muffin, and she sighs happily. "This is good." She takes another bite and she eats the top of the muffin first. Then she takes the wrapper off and bites into the the bottom part of the muffin. "Why do you eat it like that?" I ask curiously. "Like what?" She asks, taking another bite of the muffin.
"Like that!" I exclaim, pointing at her muffin. "You eat the top of the muffin first and then you eat the bottom!" I laugh and she tries not to choke on her muffin. She swallows hard and says, "Because I like to eat it like that and that is how I've always eaten it!" She laughs and slaps my arm with the back of her hand. I put my hands up in defense and watch her shove the rest of the muffin in her mouth. She reaches for another muffin and smirks, biting into the fluffy top.
I roll my eyes and stand up. "I'm going to be right back, I need to do some laundry." I smile, taking my clothes and her dress and some other laundry and walk out the door, winking at Tris as I go. I walk down the hallway to see Caleb running towards me at full speed, and we collide before I can't stop. We smash into the ground, his face banging against my neck and my nose slams into his forehead. "Hey! Watch it!" I say, not as angrily as I want it to. He scrambles to his feet and holds out his hand. I grip it and the laundry and get to my feet.
"What do you want Caleb?" I question, picking up a pair of Tris' underwear that fell. I can feel Caleb's nosey eyes eyeing the underwear and whispers, "Is she? Is she really alive?" I give him a pointed look, and grab his arm. "Come with me." I drag him behind me to the laundry room, and throw the clothes in and start the washer. He looks at me weirdly, "She's in here?" He looks around like an idiot. The idiot he is.
"She's not in here. But she is alive. She's in my room, thinking that I'm doing laundry. Be patient, Erudite." I spit, turning away and focusing on the laundry. He stands, rigid, and silently waits.
I walk out of the room and he follows me, still saying nothing. I reach my door and push on the handle. After it opens, I motion Caleb inside and look around for Tris. She isn't there, so I call out. "Tris? I'm back." I hear some rustling in the kitchen and then hear a sizzling. "Just making some brunch!" She yells back to me and I see Caleb's mouth drop. I walk into the kitchen with Caleb 5 feet behind me. She has some French toast stuff out and a pan, making French toast for me and her. I smile, and wrap my arms around her, resting my head in her neck. I kiss her neck slowly and she inhales sharply. "Tris?" Caleb's voice is strained and he stares at her in unbelief.
"Caleb!" She exclaims and hands me a soaking piece of toast and runs to hug Caleb. I stare at the toast and drop it onto the pan and listen to it sizzle. I watch them share a long hug and he pulls away. "Oh my god, how are you alive?" He asks, while I see two more pieces bread on a plate and figure I should make those too. I drip then into the bowl of French toast stuff and she pulls him so they sit on our made-tight bed.
"I don't know really. I think it was the serum that Peter injected me with a little while ago. It was blue and very liquidly. The one Peter injected me with slowed my heartbeat to one per minute so I seemed dead. It was for my execution and he only injected a little into me and it lasted about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. But he, the man that healed my bullet wounds, injected the whole thing into me. It lasted for about 9 to 10 hours and I woke up. That's all I really remember. I woke up, got out of my box, and came into the hallway, saw T-" she cuts off, and clears her throat. "Four, and came back here." Caleb stares at her for a minute, then pulls her into another hug.
"Ahem." I clear my throat and they pull apart. "Do you . . . uh, want to stay for brunch?" I motion to the cooked French toast and smile. He smiles but shakes his head. "Nah, I'm good. I already ate. Thanks though." He nods his head and walks out of the door. I finally am starting to like Caleb.
I smile at Tris.
She lights up and wraps me in her arms.
"I love you."
"I love you, too, Tobias."
