Tris POV
I walk into the hallway with Christina and I'm trying to focus on what shes saying to me but, all i can think about is Tobias. "Hello Tris..TRIS!" She says to me as she waves her hands in my face to get my attention. "Did you hear me" she asks. "Yeah yeah totally" i say and i know shes not convinced that i was listening to her one bit. "Sooooo that means we're on for shopping right now" she says. I forgot Zeke is having a party. Everytime he has a party she wants to go shopping to get something new. I know we havent been great lately because i spend so much time with Tobias and she wants to hang out with me too. So i agree ... I mean how bad could it be?
I told Tobias what i was doing with Christina and it took some convincing but, he finally was okay with me going. Not in the 'will you please let me go with Christina' way but, the 'are you fine with me going' kinda way. I dont know if other people realize but, we're not that type of couple.
We reach the store and we walk towards the cash register and I have no idea why. I mean if you are going to shop wouldnt you think we would be by the clothes? As im thinking this I see the lady pass Christina a pile of clothes. "What's this" I say confused. "I came here before I went to grab you because I realized I needed your opinion before I bought them." She says. I get it now...i think. "I grabbed some stuff for you too" she says passing me what im assuming is my "pile". We try all the clothes on and as usual i like them all but, the trying on clothes part just doesnt suit me.
We buy the clothes and leave to her apartment to get ready for the party. I ended up buying two dresses one black, one red and, a pair of black skinny jeans. I had most of the things i tried on already so i Just bought whatever i thought i would actually wear. She bought too many things to count so I'm not even going to try. We reach her apartment and put the things on her bed and put our outfits together. We both decide that since we are most likely going to play Candor or Dauntless that It wouldn't be a smart idea to wear a dress.
I walk back to my apartment because I want to wear layers for the party and a lot of the clothes Christina has are...let's just say Christina clothes. I knock on the door because I forgot my key and Tobias said he would be here. No one answers but, I hear whispers and I'm able to make out what one of them says. "Be quiet she can't know we're here" I can't figure out who it is but, the voice is recognizable. Another person says "she has a key she's going to get in one way or another" who the hell is in my apartment. We leave a key on top of the door frame for emergencies and I don't feel like running back to Christina's apartment to get mine so I just use the spare. When I get in the apartment I see Tobias tied to a chair but, he's not harmed. I see no one else but, he's trying to tell me something through his eyes. He's trying to warn me about something so I turn around and see Cody. Cody did this. Why would Cody do this.
He starts fighting me and I know what his weaknesses are when it comes to fighting so this is ultimately pointless. I knock him to the ground long enough to grab a emergency gun that all dauntless are required to keep in their apartment. I grab it and hold it to his face. "What is this" Is all I manage to say. Referring to Tobias being tied up but, he doesn't say anything. "Come out" I scream because I heard multiple voices from the apartment and I know it wasn't Tobias so someone else is here. "Come out or I'll shoot" I say and then I hear footsteps coming out from the bedroom. It's Amber and Brittany I should have know.
"So all this time you were just pretending we were friends and what to help Amber and Brittany" I say as I use one hand to untie Tobias and one hand keeping the gun aimed at them all. I can't even wrap the thought around my mind that everything was a lie. "No, okay I love you and I would never hurt you but, Amber and Brittany want Four and I want you...it was the perfect plan." By the time he's finished Tobias grabs the two girls and yes he's strong enough to take both of them. He leads them out presumably to go to Max and I wouldn't expect them to be showing up any time soon. Cody's about to say something to me as he walks over but, I don't want to hear whatever bull he has to say so I just knock him out unconscious.
I hear footsteps coming from the hall and I see Christina come through the door. She sees what happened and probably pieced everything together. She's smart in that way. She runs over to me and gives me a hug and usually we don't but, I hugged her back as if it was Tobias. It's silent like this for a while until Christina breaks it by saying "so maybe you should have gone with 'Christina clothes' after all." She says this and I laugh as she refers to her clothes the same way I do.
It's a couple hours later and Tobias is still held up with Max about the whole situation. Word spread around Dauntless pretty fast and that pressured Zeke to change the date of his party because no one would've showed up if he hadn't. So he changed it to tomorrow and, at least then this whole situation wouldn't be stuck in everyone's head. Christina stays with me at the apartment helping me clean anything that was ruined or used to tie up Tobias. We don't need those kind of reminders around the apartment.
As we sit watching TV and wait for Tobias to show up I end up falling asleep before he comes back. I don't remember what happens after that...
