Love Goes On
Chapter 11: Speaking with Evelyn
Tobias and I are at our apartment, cuddled on the sofa together. A week has passed since Shauna and Zeke got engaged. Christina is now twenty seven weeks pregnant. I am still mental.
Forty Seven weeks until I get married to the love of my life.
The phone rings and Tobias picks it up, putting it against his ear.
"Hey, Evelyn… Yeah, she's hear with me now… Sure." He gives me the phone and I reluctantly take it from him, placing it against my ear.
"Hey, Evelyn." I say.
"Hello, Tris. Look, I just want to say that I'm sorry, about everything I did and said during the war. I just wanted Tobias to myself, since I only just got him back, and I took it out on you. But now I realise that he isn't going to leave you, and that you love each other. Nothing can break true love. So, I'm sorry. And I understand if you don't forgive me right away, I understand if you don't ever. But I want to be a part of yours and Tobias' life. I want to be there for you. I know how hard life is when your parents aren't there with you. But I'll help with everything, I promise. I'm here for you."
"It's okay. I understand. I forgive you. Thanks." I say as tears fill my eyes but I push them down.
"That's okay. I can't wait for the wedding. When's it going to be?"
"In forty seven weeks."
"Oh. Have you picked out a dress yet?"
"No. My maid of honour is pregnant and she insisted that we have to get the bridesmaid dresses and my dress together. So we have to wait for her to have the baby, but she's due in like thirteen weeks. So we'll be going shopping soon."
"Well, whatever dress you get I'm sure you'll look beautiful in it."
"Thanks. How are you?"
"Oh, I'm fine, but I can't wait to get back and see you and Tobias. How are you?"
"I'm okay, I guess."
"Tobias told me what's been going on. You don't have to lie to me, Tris. I know you're far from okay. But I'm here, if you ever need to talk or whatever. I'm here for you."
I notice Tobias is no longer in here, with me, and a tear slips out of my eye.
"No, I'm not okay. I'm happy, to be with Tobias and that I'm marrying him. But I'm scared. And I don't know what to do. I miss them so much. All of them. I still need them. And with everything going on I want them more and more. I just…"
I start crying more and I hear her telling me soothing things, like what my mother would say to me when I was hurt, or sick, or had a bad dream.
"Tris, it's okay. I'm here. Tobias and I are your family now. We're here for you. I promise."
"I know. Thank you. I, uh, have to go now." I say as Tobias walks back in from the kitchen. I give him the phone and just sit there, crying. He soon says goodbye and puts the phone down before wrapping me in his arms, holding me into his chest.
"We'll be okay. I promise." He whispers to me.
"I know. I'm sorry."
"You have no reason to be sorry. I love you."
"I love you, too. Can you sing to me, please?"
My mum used to sing to me when I was sad.
"What do you want me to sing?"
"Surprise me."
"When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you."
I'm smiling by the end of it because I know it's true. He will do anything for me. He is my light to guide me home. He will do anything he can to fix me.
I know he will. And I will for him as well.
Also, he was really good at singing.
I love him.
Hey Ravens, how are you?
I will update again when I can.
Please review!
