Hey! I know you guys have been waiting for this chapter and finally it's finished! Thankyou so much for all the reviews you are all so so sweet and I love you all. Thankyou so much for giving me so much support to continue this. So here is chapter 10!
Chapter 10- Tris
I hold the letter in my hands and reread the ending. Wait… Tris? But that's my name. Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be me, this isn't me. I probably read it wrong. I look down and read it again.
All my love,
Tris.
Oh my god, I wrote this.
I feel my eyes fill up with tears, but I don't understand why. I am filled with so many different emotions and I don't understand any of them. This is my connection to Four, I'm his other half.
I must be crying louder than I thought because Tobias opens his eyes and stares at me. He looks down to the letter that I still hold in my shaking hands and back up to my face. He climbs out of the bad and wraps his warm arms around me.
I don't move. I don't want him to hug me. I want to run away and hide somewhere. I don't want his kindness or his love nor do I deserve either. After all I've done to him and put him through, how can he still love me?
"It's me," I sob into his shoulder, but he doesn't loosen his grip.
"Do you remember?" He asks, almost too scared to hear the answer and I can't blame him, I'm scared too.
I squeeze my eyes shut. I probably could remember him. Remember everything we've been through. It's all there now; I can feel it, just sitting at the back of my mind. I know I should grab at the chance to remember everything again, but I can't help not wanting to.
I shake my head, trying to clear the flashes of images running through my head. "Do you remember the fairest wheel?" He asks quietly. Flashes of me climbing up a fairest wheel in the dark and flashes of me falling and his warms hand reaching up to steady me. Slowly I feel things coming back to me. No, no don't come back.
Another flash, this time I'm lying on a huge net in a room. There is a huge hole above my head and I pause to look up into the sky where a huge building towers over. Did I just jump off that? I would have fallen face first into the floor if he had not caught me. Taking his hand, I climb down. "My name is Four." He says.
I cry out and pull away from him and crouch in the corner covering my ears although that won't make them go away. I don't want to remember. "Tris, what is it?" Four crouches down in front of me. He stares at me.
"I don't want to remember." He looks like I just stabbed him straight through the heart. I quickly continue, "It's not that I don't want my old life back. But it's just after reading that letter…" I can't explain it.
I just read a letter where I confessed my love for Tobias and said that I cannot live without him and this last week I have spent with Tobias I realise he loves me just as much, maybe even more. How can I live up to that? What if I remember and I cannot love him as much as she loved him? What if I can't be that Tris for him anymore?
He stops looking at me and turns away. "What if I can't be that girl for you anymore? What if I can't be her?" I cry.
He looks back at me and holds me tighter. "Tris, you don't have to try and be that girl for me, because you already are. That girl that wrote that letter, I loved her because she didn't think she was worth it, but she was worth everything and even more."
I look up at him and he wipes my cheek, "I just can't understand how someone like me can love you as much as she did, because I don't think I can."
"Tris, I never stopped loving you even when you looked at me and just saw a stranger. Even when you forgot, I still loved you. And you don't need to try and be someone you already are, you just need to remember.
He leans down so his forehead touches mine. "I know you're in there. Come back to me."
Okay so there you go. It's not over yet but the story is getting close to finishing now, so not much longer to go. Please tell me what you thought, and I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks again, and don't forget to keep reviewing!
