TRIS POV
I look at myself one last time in the mirror before I walk out of the house. Tobias is going to pick me up and bring me to the concert, which is tonight. I'm pretty nervous because the whole school is going to be there and listen to me while I sing. But I'm glad that me and Tobias are going to sing together before I sing my solo so that I will warm up to the stage a little with him by my side.
I can now see Tobias' car getting closer and closer. I'm standing on the pavement as he stops the car in front of me. Before I even get the chance to take a step he is out of the car and opens the passenger door for me. I smile at him and thank him and he smiles back as I sit down on the passenger seat. He closes the door and runs to the driver's side and just as quick as he came, we are on our way to the school.
"You look nice" he says after some silence. I'm wearing black skinny jeans with an white crop top, with black flowers on it. I have my black converse on as well. My makeup is pretty simple, eyeliner and mascara, and my hair is in nice waves.
"Thank you" I say and he gives me another smile. I'm happy that he liked it because I did it all by myself, without Christina.
The ride to the school is quiet, except for the music from the radio. Right now Whitney Houston's nice voice is playing and it relaxes my nerves a little bit. Four doesn't talk either. I guess he is nervous, too.
Next thing I know we are at the school and Tobias opens the door for me, again. There are alot of cars parked on the parking lot and it only reminds me that it will be many people tonight and my heart starts to beat fast again. Was this a stupid idea maybe?
Suddenly I feel a warm hand on my lower back, touching some bare skin, but calming me.
"It's going to be alright" Tobias whispers in my ear. "Imagine that it's only you and me on the scene and that nobody else is there" I immediately can feel my breathing slowing down, just by his voice. But then I think about when I will sing alone.
"What about when I will be alone on the stage?" I ask and turn around to look at him. His dark blue eyes are staring right in my greyish blue eyes and I can't look away. I forget for a minute what is going on around me, about the concert, that we are standing in the middle of a parking lot, just staring at each other.
"Just find me in the audience" he says and I smiles, still looking in my eyes. Then he starts to lean in, like he is going to kiss me and I realize that I want him to kiss me so I lean in a little bit, too.
"FOUR!" Someone shouts and I quickly take some steps back, cheeks burning. I look up and see that Tobias is blushing as well. When I look in the direction where the shout came from I can see Zeke standing there with Shauna by his side. She gives him an angry look and hits him on the arm.
"Ow!" he says and Shauna just rolls her eyes. "What?" he asks her, rubbing his arm. She whispers something in his ear and his eyes widen. He looks over at us and does a face palm before Shauna drags him inside.
"Maybe we should go inside" Tobias says and when I look at him he is rubbing the back of his neck. I give him a small nod, feeling a awkward tension between us. I start to walk, Tobbias following me. As we walk to the concert I wonder what would have happened if Zeke didn't interrupt us. It's now that I realise that I wanted him to kiss me, to feel his lips on mine. I also want him to hold my hand, whisper sweet things in my ear, showing me a side of him that he has never showed anybody else before. I also want him to trust me, to respect me. But the world is not a wish granting factory and I would be happy just if I could call him mine.
Before I know it we have reached our destination, the concert. We are early so many people hasn't arrived yet. Everything looks amazing, the light, the scene, the chairs, everything! I hope that this night will be good.
"Welcome, everybody!" I hear Tori say in the mike, which means that the concert has started. She talks for a while and the audience laugh at her jokes and shout happily when she says something good. This school is crazy.
"Give a big applause for our first participants; Tris and Four!" I quickly make my way to the stage and Tobias follows me. There is loud sounds from the audience but I only hear what Tobias told me earlier. "It's going to be alright" he said "Imagine that it's only you and me on the scene."
I take the microphone from it's stand and look at Tobias. He's already looking at me and when my eyes meet his he gives me a smile. It gives me enough courage. I take a deep breath before I start to sing.
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh, well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public. Excuse me
For wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
When I blew; see, but it was confusing...
It feels amazing to sing with Tobias, he relaxes me more than I thought that anyone could do. I have forgotten that the whole school is watching us. It's not until we are done that I remember that they are here. Everybody stands up and cheers for us. Tobias and i wave before running to the back stage.
When we are of the scene Tobias scoops me in his arms and gives me a tight hug. His arms are around my waist and mine are around his neck and I feel something flutter in my stomach. I love that feeling.
"You did great" he says, still with his arms around me. I never want him to let go of me.
"You did pretty great yourself" I say and smile. He pulls back a little so he can see my face. His smile mirrors mine.
"I wanted to ask you" he says, looking down on the floor. "I have been wanting to ask you for a while actually if you wanted to-"
"Trissy!" I hear someone shout behind me. Tobias has an annoying look on his face and I sigh. Interrupted again.
We let go of eachother and when we turn around we see our friends standing behind us. The girls come running to give me hugs and to tell us how great we were and the boys do the same. I smile and thank them.
"You guys can go and sit down, it's soon my turn again" I say and they pile out one after one. Tobias is the last one so it's soon only us two left.
"Good luck" he says. "I'll be there so if you feel nervous just remember that. You know if you want to...you don't have to I just meant-" I interrupt him by laughing. He is so cute when he is nervous.
"I will remember that, thank you" I say and he gives me a smile with red cheeks before leaving. Tobias, Tobias, what you can do to me...
I sit there while the person before me makes a great performance, hoping that mine will be just as great. Then Tori calls my name and my legs start to move and then I'm sitting in front of the piano with everybody's eyes on me. My hands are shaking and I look up, searching for a pair of dark blue eyes. When I find them they smile at me and my shaking immediately stops. I start to play and then I sing, thinking about Tobias.
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines...
I look at Tobias almost all the time, trying to give him my message and hoping that he will get it.
I close my eyes when I'm done while the audience erupts in applause. When I open my eyes Tobias is gone. Why did he leave? Did he get the message? Is that the reason why he left?
I suddenly doesn't feel that great but I force out a smile as I make my way from the scene. I wish that Tobias wouldn't have left just like that. But my thoughts doesn't go any longer because when I get to he backstage Tobias is standing there. He wears a big smile on his face and I can't help but smile just as big. I walk up to him and throw my arms around his neck. He seems a little bit surprised at first but I can soon feel his arms around me.
"That was amazing, Tris" he says to me after we pulled back. Our faces are only a few centimeters apart.
"Thank you for helping me through the evening" I say and smile. He moves his face a little closer to mine.
"I'll always be here for you" he says and then he kills the space between us. The kiss is sweet and full of sparks. I press my lips to his and put everything I feel for him in the kiss. It feels like my heart is going to burst in any moment and I can't help but smile against his lips. I feel him doing the same thing as he pulls me even closer. I have been wanting to feel his lips on mine for so long and now that I finally have I never want to go without that feeling.
We pull back when we need air. He takes my face in his hands and put his forehead against mine.
"Thank God the Pedrad brothers wasn't here" Tobias says and I laugh a little. I look into his eyes and I almost forget what is going on.
"Well, I can't see them now, either..." I say. trying to give him a hint. He smiles at me before pulls my lips to his and kisses me again. We stand like that for a while, kissing and lost in each other.
A/N: Chapter 10!
Sorry that I haven't updated in forever! I don't really have a good reason why I haven't but I have been in a reading slump so I didn't feel like writing or reading...
I hope you will forgive me because this is the longest chapter and FOURTRIS! I actually knew from the beginning that Fourtris would happen in chapter 10. Because 4+6=10=Tobias+Tris=Fourtris :D
I also put a Tfios quote in this chapter (The world is not a wish granting factory) because it's one of my favorite quotes:)
Whitney Houston is also my favorite singer :)
