Tris' POV
I stand up in front of everyone and look around. Cameras are poised on me but I try not to focus on them. I look down at my blank piece of paper.
"I don't know what to say, this...this last week has been hell. I'm sad because I never really got to say goodbye." I look up at the ceiling and I know what to say. I knew it would come
"I remember the day my mum gave me the necklace I'm wearing now. She told me that once upon a time an angel had came from the heavens and it cried one tear because someone was hurting. A person caught the tear and eventually over time it became this, a crystal tear. My mother told me no matter how many tears I cry as long as I wear this an angle will cry for me. Today I'm sure the heavens are crying for her." I smile at the story and continue to talk about my father.
"My father didn't always understood me. He never seemed to grasp why I was athletic and fearless unlike him but I remember one day when I won a race and I ran into his arms he gave me the best advice I could ever ask for. He said 'No matter where you came in this race or in life. I will always be proud of you'" then I whisper "I'm sorry daddy". One tear rolls down my cheek
I step down happy I did it. I don't know why I doubted myself. Tobias stands up and hugs me. I hug back and cry into his shoulder as we sit down.
"Hey, don't cry. It was amazing, you definitely did your parents proud and you showed your strength to Caleb"
I don't say anything back I just cry harder into his shoulder, he hugs me tighter.
A few other family members stand up and say their peace but I don't listen until Marcus stands. I want to know why he wasn't there why he wasn't killed.
"What can I say. I send my condolences to every friend and member of the Prior family. In many ways I regret that I got to live knowing I should be dead, I would give myself up for every one of those people who died"
"I wish he did" whispers Tobias, I smile to myself.
"I lost my best friend, Andrew was like my brother. I know won't miss him nearly as much as his family will, but he will be missed. I pray that his friends and family learn to move on. Goodbye brother" He ends and walks off.
I could feel the anger bubbling inside of me. Why didn't he give a reason for his absence I almost scream.
We walk to where my parents will be buried. Side by side. Tobias never let's go of my hand even when I throw dirt over my parents. I want to do the whole thing but I'm not allowed. I wouldn't care if my dress was ruined or if I was covered in blisters and sweat. I think Tobias understands but he pulls me back before I punch the undertakers.
Being the Abnegation Party there is no celebration. People sit around and hug me saying they're sorry for my loss. The more they say it the more I want to run but I won't. This morning I was weak, now I am Dauntless.
I see Marcus talking to Johanna they look they are heading somewhere. I want to listen so I tell Tobias I'm going to the toilet. I see them leave so I follow.
"Why weren't you there Marcus?"
"That is none of your business"
"I need to know. Why was it only your party that was targeted?"
"If I told you, I would be telling you why I wasn't there"
"Marcus stop acting like a child"
"All good things come to those who wait"
I want to slap him. No I want to do worse. I storm back into the main room. Tobias hasn't moved since I felt him. I realise what I've done. He hates his dad and I've just left him in a room full of Marcus' friends and few remaining colleagues. I am an idiot some times.
Tobias' POV
We arrive back at school a day after the funeral. It's a Sunday night so I guess Dauntless are having some kind of party. Tris runs into Chris' arms when they see each other. I'm happy that she found friends so quickly. Chris whispers something in her ear and Tris' face lights up. Tris runs up stairs to freshen up for the party. I head over to the boys part of the house and change my T-Shirt.
I can smell fire near by which only means a bonfire.
I see Zeke and a few of my mates. I sit next to them and they quiz me about the funeral. I give limited answers. I see Zeke look up so I do to. There in front of me stands Tris. She's beautiful I don't get how Chris did it. She's wearing a short black skirt and an embellished black top. I don't know what to say. She just sits down next to me and I wrap my hand around her waist.
"You're beautiful" I whisper she blushes so I laugh.
After a while she nudges me.
"Look at Chris and Will, they're so cute together" I look up and see them making-out.
I nod "but we're even cutter". She turns her head and kisses me. It's full of passion. I set my hands on her waist and she runs her fingers through my hair. I tickle her waist with my fingers and I hear her sigh in the kiss.
"Get a room!" Someone shouts we pull apart and I pull her up with me.
"Fine we will!" I shout back in the general direction from where the shout came from.
I drag her back to my room making sure to lock the door. As soon as it's closed she kisses me.
Tris POV
All I want is him. He pushes me against the wall so I wrap my legs around his waist he holds me up and our kisses continue becoming more and more desperate. He starts to run his fingers under my top I don't care. I take it off quickly and he looks at me. I blush.
"No don't, you're beautiful" I kiss him harder. He pulls away and starts to kiss down my neck. I stiffen he looks at me and puts me down. I don't want to look into his eyes but he pulls my head to his.
"Tris, I don't care if you're not ready, I love you"
When I look into his eyes I find an emotions I'm not familiar with. I just kiss his cheek and hug him. We stay like that for a while.
"I love you to" I whisper back
In that moment we are beautiful.
