Sasha just sits there staring in the nothing. She hasn't said something in over 30 minutes and it starts to creep me out. She must be in shock. The silence is killing me. I don't know what she is thinking.
'Sasha,' I touch her shoulder and her eyes seem to come back alive. She still doesn't say a thing.
'Sasha please say something. Are you all right?' The answer is not hard to guess. Her mouth keeps shut and her eyes focused to the distance but she at least looks more human now she isn't starring like a robot anymore. I think she wants me to leave her alone. I start walking upstairs to lock myself up in my temporary room with one of her less serious books.
'Wait.' I finally hear coming from the table. I walk back surprised to see Sasha looking into my eyes. It's like there are barely any emotions in her eyes. Maybe she feels betrayed by the only person she has, me.
'Can I... Can I see your tattoo again?' I nod and take my shirt off. I turn my back to her and she gently starts following the lines on my back. Her cold fingers feel like a relievement on my back.
'It's real,' she says.
'Would you think it was fake?' I ask with almost a sarcastic undertone in my voice. I turn back around to look her in the eyes.
'No of course not,' she speaks softly. 'It makes me believe you better.' It's not an insult. She only says that to confirms the things I've said. 'An idiot would never take a tattoo this big without a personal meaning and a special effects artist is not nearly that skilled to make it so realistic.' She pauses. Her eyes stare at her feet and she takes a deep breath as if something big is coming. She looks up and her eyes pierce mine.
'I believe you Tobias. I don't understand how but I believe you.' I want to kiss her so badly but I know I can't. Not only because she needs to adjust to the situation but also because I feel guilty for Tris, the girl I have almost no feelings for compared to Sasha, but I had them, I know that.
I lay my hand on her shoulder but she immediately stiffens and brushes my hand off.
'You told me you were captured by Jeanine right? That never happened in any of the books. Is the book similar to your reality?'
I dig into my far gone memories.
'It is very similar. It creeps me out to be honest. But things are different. The war is about to start but not like in the book. The initiation was completed and everyone picked a job but no crazy simulations.'
'Is it scary to be Dauntless? Jump trains and all?'
'Not really, it seems worse than it is.'
'And you and Tris?' She hesitantly asks.
'I don't even know right now. Since I've been here with you I started to feel different.' I look away 'I didn't even think of her until you mentioned her.'
'I just...' She starts. I look up. 'I feel weird, your love has something magic, I just came between her and you.'
'You couldn't know. I have real feelings for you Sasha.'
I then realize what In all this time hasn't happened. I think back to the crazy girls in Barnes & Nobles and how they would have acted so different from Sasha right now. Sasha cares about me. Any other girl would have freaked out by now and hugged me without hesitation. They would only care about themselves and beg me to take them home. All Sasha wants is to get her facts straight.
'I'm going to my room,' Sasha says. I nod understanding that she now really wants to be left alone. She needs to think about all that had happened and right now I think that is the smartest thing to do for both of us.


Firstly: This is a short one, I know. Secondly: I'm receiving reviews with lots of hate out of nowhere and then they get deleted by either the writers or admins of this site? I don't know but thank you for hating on my writing and character! Really appreciate it... If you don't like it then don't read it.
