Tris's POV:
So we do, and my heart is beating so fast I forget to breathe.
Tobias looks over to me, I know he looks over to me no matter how dark it is. I know this because I was looking at him for an answer. But none come out of his mouth.
"What are you two doing out after curfew? Don't you both know that you can't be out after curfew if there is no adult around." The man says, he sounds like he's in a uniform.
Tobias raises his hand, "I'm eighteen." The man seems to study him. Then he studies me.
"Why are you out with a thirteen year old?" I seem to grab the urge to speak again.
"Umm sir, I'm actually sixteen. So if you could not judge me by size." The man studies me some more.
"Okay, you two kids have a good night." How can I when we just got pulled over?
Tobias has the courage to respond, but I don't, "Okay."
When he walks away I start to speak again, "How could you face him without throwing up?"
"Because, I've faced much worse." I think back to his dad, and he probably thinks to his dad too.
"Oh." Oh was all I was able to manage, he has it worse and I feel bad for bringing it up. I just stand there and he starts to walk off.
"Tris. What are you doing? Come on lets go."
"I'm sorry I brought it up." I feel the tears on verge of coming to my face.
He laughs a little. "Its okay, lets just go." I nod even though he can't see my see me and I follow him.
He puts his arm around my shoulders on the walk to his house. We're at his window in no time.
"Come on, I'll give you boost." He puts one hand down in a cupping shape and does the same with the hand on top of the first hand. I put my left foot into his hands and grab whatever I can to climb into window. My bag of clothes and shoes was thrown in after I made it in.
Once I finally get inside I look around and realize this is where we first kissed. This is where we decided that I would move in with him.
I like him a lot and I'm scared of what will happen next.
Tobias enters the house minutes later and sees me looking around the room. "I'm sorry to be so curious."
"Its fine Tris. This is your home now, its okay to be curious." I smile at him and this time he sees it. Thank goodness for even lighting.
I sit down on the bed and ask, "Is there an extra mattress?"
He shakes his head.
"How about a lot of blankets?"
Another shake of his head.
Fantastic.
"Well, where an I going to sleep?" He looks at me for a second and pats the bed.
I gawk at him. That's not going to happen.
"Umm, Tobias this isn't such a smart idea. I should really go back, I don't feel comfortable sleeping in your bed." He just looks at me, surprised by my second decision.
"Tris, its fine, I'll sleep on the ground. Or if you feel like it, you can. Which I don't like the idea of that. Then, once you feel comfortable we can share the bed, because the ground isn't comfortable."
I laugh. A lot of the same word, repetitive. Comfortable. Its a weird word if you just think about it for a while.
He smiles and lays on the ground. "Good night Tris."
I don't reply because I don't know how to respond. I don't like saying the same thing, even if its just changing a name, its still saying the same thing.
I just drift off to sleep, not worrying about what my step dad will do. Not worrying that the mayor will find out I'm here. Not worrying about anything except my head resting on this pillow.
