*Tobias POV*
After dinner the night was pretty slow, Tris and I cuddled on the couch and fell asleep after that. The next morning we wake up because of the alarm, finally I slept in until then.
"Goodmorning Tris, how did you sleep"
"Great, you?"
"Amazing, I slept in until the alarm"
She smiles and kisses my cheek. We both get up and get clothes, we race to the bathroom, she won. So I wait in our bedroom until she's done, the compound is pretty quiet since it's only 7:00. When Tris steps out of the bathroom in her towel I have the urge to go over and take it off, but we're already late so I won't. I go into the bathroom and turn on the shower to freezing, I like cold showers, Tris doesn't. That's the reason she won't shower with me. When I'm finished in the shower I dry my shaggy hair and put on a normal black shirt and some jeans that are ripped at the knees. Tris told me I should wear something different so I got these jeans,but I'm not sure how I feel about them.
"Well hello Mr.Handsome" Tris comments "I love your pants"
"Thank you, I don't know about them though they're very..."
"Ripped? Tobias they're supposed to be" We both laugh and head into the kitchen to grab breakfast, I get a bagel and Tris gets toast. We eat in the way down to the training room, today we're doing partner fights.
*Page Break*
"Initiates here are the pairs for fights" Tris says
Rylie vs. Katherine
Derek vs. Barron
Erin vs. Quinn
Jacob vs. Fillip
Sydney vs. Teresa
I am worried about Sydney, she's barely making it, she was in the last of the ones who stayed in dauntless. Teresa is really good, Tris made the pairings for this so it wasn't my decision.
"First is Rylie and Katherine" the fight didn't last long Rylie punched Katherine in the throat a couple times and nocked her feet from beneath her. The rest of the fights were pretty predictable Derek,Quinn and Fillip won. The last fight is Sydney and Teresa. Sydney always forgets to protect her face so Teresa just punches her in the face. Teresa is just crushing her, we already know who won.
"Teresa stop, you already won" Tris says to her and she stops
"No Teresa don't stop, Sydney isn't out yet"
"Four, look at her, her lip,stomach, and knees are bleeding she's done"
"She's dauntless now she can take it and if she can't then she better go back to Abnegation" Tris just stands there stunned until she turns to leave.
"Everyone is done for today go get some food" she says before walking out if the training center. When the initiates leave I crouch down and put my head in my hands.Then I get up and follow Tris,I assume she's going to the apartment. I open the apartment door.
"Tris, are you here" I see Tris with tears welled up in her eyes.
"What was that Tobias? That was uncalled for, the girl was on the ground bleeding and you didn't tell Teresa to stop? And when I told her to you insulted her former faction?"
"Tris, if I had babied you you wouldn't be where you are now"
"Oh yeah I almost forgot, you left when I was in a fight that could've injured me so badly I would've had to leave dauntless"
"Tris! That is not what we are talking about!"
"Why not! It's the same thing, you just left her there, maybe you wanted her hurt!"
By now both of us are yelling
"I DID NOT WANT YOU OR HER HURT HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT" I stomp up closer to her "SHE WAS DOING FINE I WAS GIVING HER A CHANCE"
"WHAT CHANCE TOBIAS! A CHANCE TO BEAT HER, WE BOTH KNOW THAT WASNT GOING TO HAPPEN! YOU LEFT HER THERE!"
When Tris says that I walk out of the room afraid of what I might do if I stay there. I'm not walking anywhere in particular I just need to blow off some steam.It feels like I've been walking for 15 minutes but when I look at the clock it's been 2 hours. I walk toward the apartment and unlock the door I go over to our bedroom and the door is locked. So I walk over to the couch and lay down, I don't know why I do I know I'm not going to sleep. I lay there all night and think about what I could've done better in that situation, I really need to work on my kindness. I finally get to sleep for about an hour. When I wake up it's around 6:00 I try and open the bedroom door but it's still locked I need to shower. So I just wash my hair in the sink and change into the extra clothes from my bag. When Tris wakes up she doesn't even acknowledge that I'm there. She just walks out of the bedroom door and through the front door. I leave soon after her and make my way to the cafeteria. She sits alone and so do I, I don't want to explain to my friends why we aren't talking. I eat my breakfast in silence, it's weird not having Tris's warm body next to mine. When I'm finished I dump my trash and go to the training room we're working on fighting again. I'm the first one there so I decide to let out some anger on one of the punching bags. By the time someone walks in the door my knuckles are split open and bleeding. Tris was the someone who walked in again she is giving me the silent treatment. When the initiates walk in she starts talking.
"As a continuation of yesterday we will be fighting, today focusing on technique" she points at the punching bags "Go over to those and practice" I walk over to her
"Tris, Tris please talk to me this is ridiculous"
"Really Tobias, that was the best thing you could've said asshole"
"Tris look I'm sorry I know I was wrong I thought what I was doing was the best for her"
"Really?! You thought that letting her bleed to death was the best thing for her?! Oh but wait she's dauntless so she can take it" Tris answers mockingly "Tobias I really don't want to fight but what you did yesterday was awful"
" I know I just wanted her to do well in initiation, please forgive me"
" I know you just wanted the best for her I know, and it's okay she isn't hurt too badly"
"Thank you, I love you"
"I love you too Tobias"
I lean in and kiss her not even caring that all the initiates saw us.
