Sorry for the short chapter! I will update a new one ASAP! Enjoy anyway!
Four POV.
We walk in silence, until we reach the little open space a little outside campus. We lay down in the grass, looking up in the sky.
"Such a beautiful night" She sighs, resting her head on my chest.
"Do you know what day it is today?" I ask, even though I know she has no idea.
"I'm pretty sure that it's Friday" She says.
"Ha-ha. Very funny. Today is exactly 2 years ago I asked you to be my girlfriend, officially. I was in love with you in a while before that" She raise her hand to look at me.
"When did you know you were in love with me?" She put down her head on my chest again.
"July 23. You know how I remember?" She shakes her head against my chest.
"You remember the day Molly tried to kiss me, well when I was talking to her I didn't want to look her in the eyes. So I just focused on the calendar on the wall behind her, so the date sort of just got stuck in my mind" She laughs at the memory, and place a kiss on my cheek.
"When did you know you were in love with me?" I ask, stroking her cheek.
"I knew it the moment I met you" She says, and I look at her in surprise.
"Really?" She cracks a small laugh.
"No"
I push playfully, laughing as well.
"To start with I thought you were a pain in the ass, making fun of me, being a terrible coach and just a real jackass" I start to laugh harder.
"This is one fucked up seduction" She slaps me in the chest.
"I'm not done yet. Then you started to show me a side of yourself, the real you, and that's what I fell in love with. I'm kind of glad you're not my coach anymore" I check my watch, I probably can take a shower now without anyone being there.
"Let's get back to the party. I will take a shower, you know, there is no one there now" I get up, pulling her with me. We walk back to the locker rooms, and we are about to say our goodbyes when she takes a firm hold on my hand.
"Thank you for remembering this day Tobias. I kind of feel bad for not remembering it, well I just assumed we were already a couple and…" I stop by pressing my lips to hers.
"We were already dating, it's just because of my freaking insane unsureness, that I remember the date. My plan was to take you to the Farris Wheel, but it's closed"
"They closed the Farris Wheel?!" She says with fake horror in her voice. "Then you have to go zip-lining with me instead" I can't really tell if she is joking or she is being serious, so I just slip out of the situation.
"Well I am going to take that shower, I will just meet you in there. Don't do anything stupid" I say kissing her on the forehead.
"Tobias, I will only be alone for 20 minutes" She sighs. I smirk and turn around on my heels, looking over my shoulder.
"Exactly"
I'm looking into the mirror, looking at myself. When I look at myself I see a normal young man, well trained and nothing to be embarrassed about. I turn around and look over my shoulder, looking at my scared back. I now see the little 12 year old boy hiding on his room, being terrified every time there was someone on the stairs. Suddenly it feels like my father is standing in the room, but I know I am just hallucinating.
"You can run, but you can't hide Tobias"
"I'm not hiding from anything"
"You will always just be a damage kid, no one cares about you" I don't have a count on how many times he has said this to me. I just stare into the mirror, starring into my own eyes, starring at my dark side.
"No, you don't get to hunt me forever"
I put on my shirt and walk out, knowing what I have to do.
I'm going to put myself out there, out where I am most vulnerable.
Tris POV.
I'm standing at the bar with the others, and unfortunately Jack is in the bar. He is looking at me.
"So where is old lover boy?" He says smirking.
"Yeah, where is Four?" Zeke adds.
"He is coming. Just taking a shower" I say taking a long sip of the beer in my hand.
"Why is he never showering or changing with us?" Zeke asks, eating a handful of peanuts.
"Is he embarrassed of his pathetic body?" Jack says which gives him a few laughs.
"I think he is afraid of you getting a feeling of inferiority"
"Oooh" I hear people say, mostly girls.
"We need some details on that!" Chris and Marlene shouts almost at the same time.
"Details on what?" Tobias is a few feet away, looking at us. I see Jack moving out of the bar, I see the evil look on his face. This is not going to be good.
"Your girlfriend is just bragging about how well trained you are, in fact she says that's the reason why you're not showering with us" He says moving closer to Tobias, people have stopped talking and are now forming a circle around the two of them.
"So is that true?"
"Something like that" Tobias says, not showing any kind of emotions.
"Then why don't you show us you're perfect body? Huh? Superman, shirt off" Jack gets a grip on the hem of his shirt, and tucks in it. Tobias bats his hand away.
"Don't touch him!" I say about to step into the circle. Tobias' eyes locks with mine.
"Tris, don't. I got this" He says firmly.
"Needing help from your girlfriend, oh how very masculine" Jack's little brother yells.
Tobias frowns, still looking at me. He grabs the hem of his shirt, starting to pull it up.
"What are you…." I don't get to finish my sentence, I'm being pushed away by people who want to enjoy the show. I push myself into the circle again, and what I see surprises me.
Tobias is standing shirtless in the middle of the circle.
