Tobias
I couldn't believe what I had really done. I couldn't believe the affect that she had on me. I just woke up, sitting on a plane to London. Everyone else is awake, and by that I mean the guys are up. I'm texting Zeke with one arm because Tris occupies my other, her head rested against it. I feel the circulation being cut off, and I can't feel my arm, but that's okay, because I love her.
I never thought I would get enough courage to propose to her on the plane. I never thought that I would make it past my own remission, but I did, and here we are, the eight of us, ready to take the next step of our lives together. Right now, Zeke and I are texting ideas back and forth. How are Tris and I going to get married?
Dude, have you thought of any ideas yet? – Zeke
Dude, I've got so many – Tobias
Lay one on me, brother – Zeke
Well, there's the idea of waiting until we get back home. You know, a small ceremony in the backyard or something – Tobias
Wait; please tell me you asked Tori and Bud's permission… - Zeke
Dude, I may not be a genius, but I'm not an idiot. Of course I got permission you pansycake – Tobias
I have to admit though, that got me to laugh a little bit. And in the efforts of my 'bro time' with Zeke, Tris stirs up and lifts her head. The girls fell asleep about two hours ago. We should be arriving in London any second now. I refuse to open my window though, sorry.
I look over to Tris, who stretches out her arms about her head and can't wipe a smile off my face. "What are you so happy about?" I ask her with a playful tone.
Tris is happy, but I never expected her to start squealing. "We're getting married, Tobias!"
Her stirring movement has woken up the rest of the group, but no one seems to mind. She presses a kiss to my cheek, and grabs ahold of my hand. She knows about my fear of heights, or so it seems.
The guys move over to sit beside me, and Tris and Christina move over to go sit with Marlene and Shauna. The guys and I are trying to come up with an idea of how Tris and I should get married, and when too.
"Dude, what about like a ceremony?" Will suggests.
"There are a ton of ceremonies they could do, Will, that's the problem." Zeke says.
"What about in Paris?" Uriah suggests. Zeke and Will look at him as if he has three heads, but he continues. "No, I'm serious. I mean, they can write their names on a lock and put it on the bridge. Zeke's got his ministry license. He could get you guys a valid marriage certificate."
"Yeah, but wouldn't that only be legal here?" I ask.
Uriah nods his head. "But you can always renew it. That way, if you and Tris want to have a real ceremony when we get back home, you can."
"Tris always wanted to marry the Abnegation way." I fiddle with my thumbs when I think about that being the number one thing on her list. It's something that I probably wouldn't have said myself – to get married. But it's perfect for Tris, and it's perfect for us.
"What does that mean?" Zeke asks, shaking his head.
I want to beat Will to the punch. He probably already knows all this information. "It means it's a typical ceremony. The bride and the groom dress up, but they sign the papers instead of saying vows."
"Didn't Tris say she wanted to say vows, as well?" Will asks.
I nod my head. "Yeah, she wants to write her own vows."
"When then why don't we do that here? Marriage licenses can be acquired anywhere. Heck, we could even surprise her with it. We can leave her like a scavenger hunt or something and the girls can distract her while we plan." Uriah suggests.
"But Tris would want Bud and Tori here. She would want Bud to give her away since her father couldn't." Will suggests.
I raise a finger. "Already took care of it. In case we did get married, I left behind two tickets for Tori and Bud. They said they could cover the expenses, but I told them they've done so much for Tris as it is, they could enjoy being treated to their god-daughter's wedding."
"Tobias, my man, you thought of everything!" Uriah exclaims, causing the rest of the group to clasp my shoulders and congratulate me.
I quickly take out my phone and decide to call Bud. My fingers are shaking so nervously. I open the blind just a little, to look out the window. We've landed in the airport. Just before he picks up, the flight attendant comes on saying that we've arrived, and thankfully we're at the front of the plane. I'm the first one off, followed by the rest of the guys. I jog a little ahead so in case Tris comes off, she doesn't hear me. The turbine wind is whipping against my loose black clothing.
"Hey, Tobias, I'm guessing you guys just landed in London. How's it going?" I hear his voice the second he picks up.
"You might want to get those tickets ready," I say. I hear Bud say something to someone in a quiet voice, and then a scream in the background. There's some shuffling, and then I hear someone against the phone.
"You asked her!" I can hear a distinct feminine voice, and I can tell its Tori. It couldn't be more obvious. I find myself laughing into the phone. "Oh my god, Tobias, that's huge! When? What time? Where? Did she say yes?"
"Tori let the man breathe. Goodness gracious you can ask all the questions you want I'm sure." I can hear Bud chuckling in the background, clattering around with the dishes.
"She said yes," I exhale a breath I didn't know I was holding. I begin to recap everything, about my speech and about how everyone surrounded us on the plane. About how I've never seen her happier in my life and how I wanted them to be here when we got married. I told them when, and where. I told them about how the girls are going to get her ready, and shop with her all day. I told them about how we're going to do it tonight, and how the guys are going to be there. I have to go shopping with the guys, and how they need to come in as soon as possible.
"Tris wouldn't want you guys to miss this. It's the biggest day of her life."
"Tobias, we have some news, but we don't know how you're going to handle it yet." Bud's tone turns all serious for a second.
"Tell me, she isn't here yet."
Tori begins to start screaming and crying and she sounds like she's rambling. "Tobias," Bud says, cautiously, "we got a letter in the mail today from Tris' doctor."
I feel like someone just stabbed me right in the gut, and I can't breathe. They're going to tell me she's going to die. I hear Tori screaming, and she grips the phone and she's laughing. That must be some sort of good news. "She's okay!"
"Wait what?" I hear shuffling in the background. I turn around, and Tris is standing right behind me. I guess she heard something. My eyes widen at her and she has tears pooling in her eyes.
Just in that second she says, "Tobias, they found it."
I shake my head in utter confusion. "What did they find another tumor?"
Tris begins to laugh at me. "No, no tumors."
I raise an eyebrow. "Then what did they find?"
Tris covers her hands over her mouth. I think she's crying. I can barely hear Bud's muffled voice. Tris snatches the phone from him. "Don't ruin it, come on. You aren't supposed to tell him yet!"
"Tell me what?" I yank the phone back from her but they've hung up. Tris grabs on to me and pulls me closer to her. She puts her hands on my chest.
"Tobias, remember how I said Tori and Bud freaked out because they said I had a migraine, and they took me to the doctor?" I nod my head, now unable to contain what bile is about to excuse itself from my throat.
"What did they find?" My voice probably sounds cracked, and I feel like I'm about to shatter. Is this it? Is the worst yet to come?
These next words will change everything. She's contemplating something in her head, and I'm worried what she says will only decrease my time with her, but I can tell by her eyes that something far beyond my control has happened.
And what she says, changes both our lives together.
"Tobias, I'm okay. I'm not sick anymore." And I watch the tears spill from her eyes, for a second, I thought the worst, and then, she opens her mouth to speak.
"And I still want to marry you." And then her lips collide with mine in the middle of the runway, surrounded by our friends who are laughing and Zeke with that damned video camera again.
So I flip him off.
A/N – YOU GUYS THOUGHT I'D KILL HER? HA!
Tris is now cured! Yes, she is cancer free!
You guys happy, yet?
Yes, I'm also aware it doesn't happen in real life, but this is fanfiction, cause you know, it's all about creativity!
