| TRIS POV |
It's been two weeks since the incident. I was discharged the day after since my 'surgery' was done 'skilfully'. Peter, Eric, Jeanine and Caleb were imprisoned. The Erudite disbanded. The chip was returned and then destroyed by the government, finally realising its not smart to place all your information in one thing. Evelyn's funeral was two days ago as Tobias only got discharged last week. He's been distant. I mean I'm practically living with him back in his mum's house, but it is so big, sometimes I won't see him all day until we go to bed. He's spoken a bit but he's still mourning. We're planning on returning to Los Angeles tomorrow, my parents are worried shitless and so are my brothers.
The reading of the will was yesterday and everything Evelyn had belongs to Tobias. This house, the company and everything that comes with it. I don't know what Tobias is going to do.
I finish cooking the only thing I can cook alright, bacon and eggs. I hear Tobias's footsteps slowly becoming louder. I feel his warm embrace from behind.
"Good morning." He says sadly before giving me a quick peck and taking the food I made him.
"How are you feeling?" I ask
"Good." He lies.
I arch my eyebrow at him.
"I-I don't know, I just miss her, the more I stay in the house, the more I am reminded of her and then I just- I don't know." He explains "I just don't know."
"I'm always here is you need me." I say.
We eat the rest of breakfast in silence before he offers to wash up.
"Tris." He says softly
"Mhhmmm." I hum as I wipe the table.
"I-I think I'm going to staying here."
My eyes widen and my head snaps to look at him.
"It's just, the company's here, all her stuff is here and" he takes a deep breath "I'm taking over the company."
He looks at me with glassy eyes.
I take a deep breath.
"Are you sure you want this for yourself." I ask softly avoiding eye contact.
"Yes."
"You just accepted into your surgical registrar."
"It's just every time I see blood all l see is…her." He takes a deep breath "It's fine though, I mean I finished with a business minor and Johnson's Enterprises is thriving well, it's doing well in manufacturing and investments."
I take a deep breath.
"What does this mean for us?" I ask
"Tris." He says
I feel my heart start to crack
"You're going to need to focus on school to get an internship into prestigious law firm, then become some hotshot, successful lawyer, you're not going to have time to see me in Chicago." He continues "I'll have to learn how to run the business, then actually begin to run it, hopefully expand it, I have some moving to do and some figuring out of my life."
"I guess it's just time for us to part." I finish for him.
"I will always love you." He says kissing me on his forehead
"I will always love you too."
A/N: That's a wrap. I'll most likely write a sequel ;)
