*Tobias POV*

After dinner Tris and I decided to go for a walk down to the chasm. As we're walking back we hear a blood curdling scream coming from the dormitory. Sydney. I run as fast as I possible can, leaving Tris behind. I open the dormitory doors and turn in on the light.

"Shhh Sydney, it's okay don't worry" I hear a young voice say.

All the initiates are crowding around her "Move, move, move! Sydney!" Her arm is injured, possibly stabbed or shot. I pick her up and hurry to the apartment.

"Tris grab some cloth!" I yell behind me I open the door to the apartment and lay Sydney on the couch. Tris gives me the cloth she found and I apply pressure to her arm to try and stop the bleeding. It's good that the wound isn't too deep, she won't need stiches.

"Four?" Sydney says in a scared voice, she scoots away from me and toward the other side of the couch.

"Sydney I'm not going to hurt you, I'm trying to stop you from bleeding to death" I touch the cloth to her arm again

"Stop! Go away!" She yells at me

"Sydney what am I doing wrong" Tris comes back from the bathroom with another wet cloth.

"Four, please leave she doesn't feel comfortable"

"Oh fuck this" I throw the cloth down and walk out the apartment door.

*Tris POV*

"Hey, shhh it's okay" I say to her in a calm voice "Can I put the cloth on your wound?"

She nods 'yes'

"Okay" I put the cloth on her wound, most of the bleeding had stopped since it wasn't too deep. "So Sydney what happened?"

"I...I woke up and just saw a shadow figure with a knife and then they struck me I guess, it all happened so fast"

"Oh" I begin to think about Edward and how that happened to him, and, and Al.

"Six, are you okay, you're crying"

"Oh" I wipe the tears from my cheek, I barely cry infront of Tobias never mind am initiate "Sorry"

"You're okay..."

I get up and clean off the bloody cloth. I go into the drawer of medical supplies and grab a bandage and some gauze.I put the gauze on her wound and then wrap it up.

"Here, you can sleep here for the night I'll grab you some blankets" I go and grab a black fleece blanket from a box. "Night"

"Night Six thank you"

Once I'm finished with Sydney I go and find Tobias. It's been about 20 minutes so he couldn't have gone far. I walk down to the chasm where we were earlier, I see him sitting there with his head in his hands.

"Tobias? Are you okay?" I see him wipe a tear from his cheek.

"No"

I put my arms around him and sit next to him.

"I've turned into my father, a girl is so afraid of me she can't even look at me"

"Tobias don't say that, you are nothing like him"

"But I am Tris, I let her get beat up, I didn't say stop"

I move his face so I can see it, I wipe away the tears with my thumbs. He turns his head away so I can't see him crying. I've never seen him cry before.

"Tobias, it's okay to cry, it's okay to be vulnerable"

"No it's not, I'm supposed to be strong, I'm supposed to comfort you and keep you going"

I kiss him and hug him tighter, I never want this moment to end.

"Where is Sydney?" He asks me

"I'm letting her sleep on the couch tonight"

"Oh, I will just leave early in the morning so she won't see me until training"

"Tobias..."

"Tris, she's afraid of me and there's nothing I can do"

"I know baby and I'm so sorry"

I'm not sure how long we stayed there, maybe 20 minutes maybe 4 hours. But we just stayed there comforting each other, both of us are still teenagers but we've been through hell.
