Authors Note:

Hi guys! I am so sorry it has taken me a week to update. I had this whole week off of school, I must thank the past Presidents for that, but I still had so much to do. I went camping with my best friend (Hi Isabelle :P). I'll try and get the next chapter up by Monday. But in the mean time, enjoy this chapter!

Before on Soldier Boy:

"Do you remember when you told me that everything would be okay?" He nodded so I continued, "Well now i'm making the same promise to you. Everything will work out Tobias, i'll make sure of it. I promise." He looked at me and a saw a slight smile form on his lips before he turned his attention back to the road.

Chapter 10

Tris POV

We got back to Tobias's place, or I guess you could say our place now, about half an hour ago.

Tobias went straight to his room and laid down. I gave him some time to be alone but now I'm walking in so see how he's doing.

I see him on the bed laying on his side. I go up and wrap my arms around his waist and kiss his cheek. He smiles slightly and turns to face me.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. I furrow my eyebrows together, confused.

"Shouldn't I be asking you if your okay? You just saw your terrible excuse of a father and you beat the shit out of him. So I want to know how you are." He just avoided my eye contact as I was ranting. But then brought them back to meet mine once I finished.

"I'm fine. But did Marcus hurt you? When he grabbed you. I'm sorry I didn't stop him sooner, I was just so frozen. I should have stopped him, then you wouldn't be hurt. It's all my fau—" I stopped him right there.

"There is no way in hell I'm letting you think this is your fault. Because one I'm not hurt and two because everything that happened earlier was Marcus's doing, not yours so don't you go thinking anything else." He smiles at me and kisses me gently on the lips and whispers a quiet, "thank you," against them.

In response, I kiss him again, harder until things start to get more heated.

After we finished with our little initiate moment, I decided to text Christina, the girl that I met in court.

Tris: Hey Christina, it's Tris. I just wanted to see if you wanted to get together tomorrow to get to know each other a little more.

She responded within 5 minutes so I wasn't waiting long.

Christina: Hey Tris! That sounds good, do you want to meet at my place at 12 o'clock?

That gave me time to sleep in and take a shower once I got up.

Tris: That's perfect I can't wait.

Christina: I think we are going to be the best of friends ;)

I couldn't help but smile. I haven't had a real friend since I met Peter so I was so excited for tomorrow.

After telling Tobias about my plans with Christina tomorrow, I went and got ready for bed. I knew Tobias would be okay with out me for a couple hours but I was still worried about him after the run in with Marcus earlier.

Once I was in my Pajamas I curled up next to Tobias on his bed and slowly drifted off to sleep. I felt Tobias turn and kiss my forehead, while whispering goodnight to me but I was too far gone to reply.

It was now 11:58 AM and I had two minutes to get out of my car and knock on her door. I do have to admit, I'm a little nervous. I don't want to mess this friendship up. A minute later I work up the courage to go to her front door.

I slowly brought my hand to the door and curled it into a fists to bang on the door. Just 8 seconds later Christina was there smiling at me and pulling me inside.

We sat down on her couch and had the normal small introductions all out of the way in just a few minutes. And then we decided to talk about her other friends.

"Ya so my boyfriend, Will, he works for Apple. He is really into that kind of stuff. Don't ask me why because I have no clue." I laughed at that. "But I also have a friend Marlene who is dating my other friend Uriah. They have been together since middle school and he finally popped the question a couple weeks ago. You should meet them sometime they would love you. Uriah likes to play…"

She went on and on for a while talking about each of her friends. Her little group of friends consist of herself, Will, Marlene, Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, and Lynn. Which I later found out that Zeke is the same Zeke that was the first cop to come to my parents house during the little Peter inccident. He is also brothers with her friend Uriah and as I found out by Tobias, Zeke is with Shauna. The last girl is said to be sisters with Shauna. So they are kind of all related in some way besides Christina and Will which is cool.

They all sound really fun. My mind starts to winder if Tobias has met any of them since he is close friends with Zeke. But I turn my attention back to Christina and continue talking about my own life with her.

"I really don't have many friends actually. It is really just Four. He was in the army but he just finished his last tour so he is no longer deployed. Which I am very thankful for because with out him I probably would be dead." I try to smile and Christina can tell it is a hard subject for me to talk about so she quickly changes it back to herself.

An hour later I finally decide its time for me to head back to Tobias and I say my goodbyes after promising to see her again in a few days.

I put my key in and turn the knob. I walk in and see Tobias sitting on the couch and once he sees me he gets up comes over to me. I smile at him.

He pins me against the wall and kisses me hard and I kiss back just as fiercely. He pulls back and smiles at me. "Don't ever leave me here alone for that long again. I couldn't stand not kissing you for three hours."

I don't respond. I just kiss him again and wrap my legs around his waist, smiling into the kiss. He made it all worth it and I couldn't thank him enough.
