this is a take off of the divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth I don't own anything

The serum files chapter 35

(Tris's perspective)

Although I don't want to make a big deal out of my birthday, Marlene was right it's a celebration of the fact I'm alive that I was ever alive. Tobias should care and he should know, I don't want him to do anything or give me anything, I just want him to acknowledge it.

It's not important

I tell myself

When I push open the front door everything is as it should be expect for the fact that my boyfriend brother and five month old niece aren't here.

"Tobias?!" I call through the apartment.

There aren't many places in our apartment to look and they aren't in the living room, the bathroom door is open so no one is in there. I walk down the hall and check the spare bedroom we used to use for storage but has now become Caleb and Maddie's room. They aren't there. I check my and Tobias's room. He isn't there but the lights are on and there is a note left on the bed.

I pick up the note and read it.

Take the bus to my office

Why?

I think to myself.

I turn around and notice a note on the back of the bedroom door I didn't notice on the way in. I take it off the door and read it as well

I know you're asking yourself why, but just do it trust me.

"Am I really that predictable?" I think a loud.

When I get to Tobias's office the only person there is the secretary Becky.

"Tris" she calls me over.

I go to her.

"you have no idea how lucky you are" Becky says as she hands me the keys to Tobias's office "oh and he told me to tell you to trust him and just do what the notes tell you to"

"Ok" I reply.

What are you up to?

I think as I unlock his office door. I turn on the lights and they are on a dim setting. There is another note on his desk but this one has a rose attached to it. I smile as I pick it up. Then I realize it's not a note, it's a map. The place where the dauntless compound used to be is circled in red and at the bottom it says to take the train.

I get off the train where I jumped on the roof the first day of initiation, but the train actually stops to let me off. It's under construction now and the hole that lead to the net is bored up and has six foot fencing around it, so I won't be jumping. There's a note and a small box attached to the fence. As I walk to get the not I'm thinking about all my memories here the good and the bad and how much everything has changed since the first time I stood on the roof.

This note is anther map and at the bottom it says to take the fire escape off the roof. I take the box off the fence next. When I look in the box I laugh there is a small stuffed crow that squeaks when I pick it up.

"You think you're so funny don't you" I say as if Tobias can hear me.

The notes send me around the city to all the places where we have memories. The final note sends me home and as I get in the elevator I realize that the point of this was to send me to almost relive our time together because he knows me and he knows how my brain works, he knew that I would think about everything that has happened in the past.

When I open the door to our apartment I'm shocked. Christina must have known she said some sort of crazy romantic thing with candles and flowers.

The lights are dim and candles are lit on the every flat surface and rose peddles crate a path to our room. I can't suppress a smile as I walk the red path down the hall. The bedroom is lit only by candles and rose peddles scatter the bed.

"Happy birthday"

I jump and turn around; I didn't hear him walk up behind me.

"you're are amazing, you know that" I say as I hug him.

"so you like it?" Tobias questions.

"of course, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me" I reply "do you have anything else planed?"

"The rose peddles and mood set of the bedroom didn't give you a hint?" Tobias replies as he pulls me against him.

I laugh or at least I mean for it to be a laugh, but it comes out as a giddy giggle.

Tobias lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He closes the door as he carries me in and lies me on the bed. He kisses me and runs his hand through my hair, which is an odd length now falling just half way at my ears. Our kisses become more heated and the temperature of the room seems to rise.

I push him back panting "Caleb and the baby"

"Are staying with a friend tonight" Tobias says then he starts to kiss my neck.

"I love you" I say as his lips brush my collar bone right above my tattoo.

"I love you too" he whispers against my skin.

It's moments like this when I can't imagine why I was ever afraid of this…


I know I know i'm straying from a teen rating a little but if you're a teenager you should already know all these things, (and why Four put rose peddles on the bed) and besides I just had to!

As promised I post I chapter on holidays, and I know Halloween isn't really a holiday but, but I consider it one. so happy Halloween!

I've tried everything for some reason people still can't vote on the baby name poll. so i'm doing it through reviews instead. just send a review of witch name you like. please vote soon because I just organized all my ideas and there won't be as many chapters till Christina has her baby as I once thought, there will still be a lot but just not as many.
