(A/N: I do not own Divergent. Nor will I ever. I just own my ideas.)
So let's get some things straight here before you start to read.
This was always going to turn into a FourTris story. I already had my mind set on it since I started writing it.
There are 3 possible fanfics coming up in the next 6 months.
Zeke x Tris
Uriah x Tris
Peter or Eric x Tris (haven't decided yet
I have been thinking of deleting my other story "One Choice" because it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of likes or reviews. If you have read it or if you want to read it, please tell me if you want it to continue, continue but end quickly or continue at its pace.
Thank you for all the support I have been getting on this. This story is a huge accomplishment in my writing career. I've been trying to figure out a way to get my style of writing out without having to create a whole new book just yet and this has allowed me to do so.
Now on with Lost Love
Tris POV
I wake up and shiver. I pull my sheets up to my neck and turn on my back. When I do, a little note on the pillow next to me catches my eye. I grab it and read it:
Tris,
I've gone home to finish packing. You seemed like you were pretty much done when I left this morning so I thought I would let you sleep. I will be back up at 8 to get you for breakfast.
Love you
Tobias
I sit up and scan the room, when my eyes get to the door, I see a grinning Tobias. I look over and see it is 8am on the dot.
"Good morning," he says sweetly and walks over to me. I didn't realize it before but there are two cups of coffee in his hands. I reach out and he hands one to me. I smile at him appreciatively and take a long gulp, letting the feeling of the hot coffee running down my throat wake me up.
"So, are you going to finish packing soon because we have to meet with Max at 10am before leaving." He says and I groan. I totally forgot about the trip until just now. Tobias comes over to me and kisses me on my forehead. "Do you want me to help or get you the rest of your breakfast so you have more time to pack?" he asks and I tell him to get breakfast.
He leaves me a minute later while I am still sitting on my bed. I place my coffee down on the table beside me and get out of bed. I walk over to my suitcase and look through it to see if I am missing anything. I actually didn't pack it; Christina did when I was with Uriah. I gave her my spare key and told her to pack whatever but to understand that I wouldn't be wearing my normal clothes most of the time. She was so excited to pick out my clothes she nearly sprinted to the elevators.
I chuckle at the thought and walk into the bathroom. I turn on the shower and strip. Before I get my top off I realize that this isn't my shirt, but Tobias's. I feel my cheeks heat up at the thought of us both sleeping in the same bed half dressed.
I shake off the thought and hop into the shower. I take longer than usual because I decide that I should shave because it might be a while till I get the luxury of a nice long shower.
After I'm done I step out and wrap one towel around my body and another around my head. I step out into the bedroom to go to my closet but Tobias's presence on my bed scares me and causes me to back up into the door.
"You scared the hell out of me Tobias." I say holding my towel to my body. He looks at me smirking when he realizes that all I have is a towel on and I throw the nearest thing to me at him, which happens to be a book. He catches it and drops it on the bed. "Perv," I say under my breath before going into the closet and shutting the door.
I stand in the closet for a minute, debating on what I am going to wear. I want to make a good impression on the other factions so nothing too tight or too short. I finally decide on a pair of black shorts, a grey and red lace top and black sandals. Before I walk out of the closet though, I grab my leather jacket because it is my signature thing.
When I walk back into my bedroom Tobias is reading the book that I threw at him. "What is that book anyway?" I ask and he looks up. "It's a book on all the faction manifestos. I've seen it before in my bedroom, I think all the leaders have one." He says before putting it down and walking over to me.
He wraps his arms around my waist and gently rocks us back and forth. "You look good Tris." He says and it reminds me of the time he was drunk and said it.
I smile at him and pull away and walk over to my vanity. Now that I know what all this stuff does, I apply eyeliner and mascara. I don't know where we are going so I don't want to put too much on. When I'm done I turn toward Tobias.
"Can we go see Shauna before we leave?" I ask and he scratches the back of his head. I frown at him and walk over to him. "What's wrong?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Shauna isn't awake right now. She went back into a coma last night. The doctor said there is bleeding in her brain." I gasp and start for the door. "We have to go see her immediately!" I say but Tobias grabs my arm. "Tris. They don't know if she is going to wake up." He says and I feel the tears spring up into my eyes.
"You have to be kidding me? Tobias, please tell me your joking." I say gripping onto his arms. He shakes his head and pulls me into his arms. I start to cry. The tears just flow out of my eyes like a dam just broke. Tobias just holds me and rubs soothing circles on my back.
Finally after what seems like forever, I run out of tears. I wipe my eyes and look up at Tobias. He lifts his hand up and wipes a stray tear off my cheek. "Come on, we need to get going soon. It's already 9 and we need to eat before we leave." He says and pulls me into the kitchen. There are two plates of food on a tray from the cafeteria sitting on the counter.
I pick up a plate and take it over to the kitchen table and sit down. I finish the food quickly and put my plate in the sink before walking back into my bedroom. I grab the last minute things Christina told me to pack and shove them in my suitcase. I zip it up and take it out into the living room.
Tobias comes over to me and grabs the suitcase. I smile lightly at him and he returns it. We walk over to the elevator and get in. He puts his keys into the apartment slot and we stop at his floor. He must have planned this because his suitcase is sitting right next to the door and he reaches out to grab it before the doors shut again.
We ride down to the bottom floor and get out when the elevator stops. I look down at my watch and see it says it 9:30. I turn to Tobias. "I'm going to see Shauna before we meet Max. I don't care if you follow me but you can't stop me." I say sternly and walk toward the infirmary. I hear him sigh behind before footsteps fall in line with mine.
When we get there I don't bother asking if I can see Shauna, I just go right in. When I get to the door I take a deep breath before opening it. Shauna lies there pale and Lynn sits next to her holding her head in her hands.
She lifts her head up when I enter and her face is streaked with tears. I walk over to her and hug her. I know it's not something we would usually do but right now, she needs it. She cries into my shoulder but I only let a few tears slip, I have to be strong for her. Shauna is her sister after all.
She pulls away from me and looks toward Shauna. "They say she still has a chance." She says trying to be hopeful but I can hear the fear in her voice. "She will survive. She took a bad beating but she's a fighter." I say and Lynn's eyes widen.
"Do you know what happened to her? The doctors told me she slipped off one of the ledges of the Pit but I didn't believe them." She says and I bite my lip. "Please Tris. Don't lie to me to save my feelings, just tell me." She pleads and I take a breath.
"She was beaten last night. She was just trying to help a friend and they turned on her and beat her. They didn't know what they were doing because they were drunk but—" I say but she cuts me off. "Who Tris? Who did this to my sister?" she asks menacingly. I look away from her. I can't tell her it was Zeke because she would murder him. "It isn't my place to say." I say quietly and make my way out of her grasp.
I walk over to Shauna and look at her. She looks so helpless but she is strong. She will fight.
-PAGE BREAK-
Tobias and I sit with Max in the cafeteria. No one is here because breakfast is over so we just decided to talk here. He asks for us to put our wrists on the table and we both comply. He reaches next to him and pulls out two silver bracelets. One is smaller and has small gems going around a dauntless symbol that is in the center. The other one is larger with the dauntless symbol engraved into it.
Max puts the smaller one around my wrist and the larger one around Tobias's. "You are not to take these off at any time. They are water proof so you can wear them in the shower. I am giving you these for multiple reasons. A) there is a tracking chip within the inside of them so if for some reason I need to track you two down I will have access to do so. B) You two will be able to communicate through these if you have the need to do so. If you look on the side of the bracelets, there are two buttons, the larger one is to allow communication and the other one is an alarm. If for any reason, you feel endangered you are to press the button. It will link you to the computers here and you will be able to signal for help. Finally, I just wanted to give you two a constant reminder of where you both belong." He says with a smile before going back into his bag.
He pulls out two small items and places them on the table. They are rings and from the look of them, they are wedding rings. "Max what are these for?" Tobias asks the question I was thinking. "These are your wedding rings. You will be posing as a married couple while on this trip. Due to some of the polices within the other factions, Abnegation for example, you are not to share a room unless you are married, therefore you are married." He says pointing to the rings.
Tobias picks up the ring that has a 3 diamonds on the top, 1 larger black one and 2 small grey ones. He inspects it and his eyes widen when he sees something inside. He moves it so that I am able to see the inside and my eyes widen as well. Inside is a small engraved
4+6
I look toward Max and he smiles. "I thought you would like them to be a bit personalized." He says and reaches out to show me the same engraving on the other ring. I take it from him and turn to Tobias. He reaches out his hand and I get the idea. I give him my left hand and he slides the ring on my finger. I look into his eyes as he does so and I a longing expression. I repeat the same motion with him before we turn back to Max.
"Now that's all over, here are you computers for the trip." He says handing each one of us a laptop case. "These computers hold everything you need to know for the faction you are going to along with your agenda for the trip. You will be visiting Amity first, than Erudite, Candor, and finally Abnegation. I expect full reports from both of you when you return." He says before standing up.
We follow him out of the cafeteria and out of the compound, luggage in tow. I absentmindedly play with the ring on my finger. It feels foreign.
Before we enter the hallway that leads to the exit I hear my name being called from across the Pit. I turn around and see Uriah running toward me. I look toward Tobias pleadingly and he just shrugs. He takes my suitcase and continues to follow Max.
I turn back to the direction of Uriah and see him standing right in front of me. "Hey sorry I didn't stop by earlier, I meant to but I've been dealing with Zeke all morning." he says and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back and he pulls away from me. "I'm going to miss you. Will I see you at all in the next month?" he asks and I shake my head. He sighs before putting his fingers under my chin and pulling my lips up to his.
He kisses me and I force myself to kiss back. I chose Tobias and now this seems wrong. He pulls away and hugs me one last time before letting me go. "Call me?" he asks and I nod. The least I could do is call him. He takes my hands in his and I see his eyes go wide. He pulls up my left hand and looks at. Crap, I forgot about the ring.
"What is this Tris?" he asks, trying to control himself. "It's a wedding ring. Four and I have to pose as a married couple to comply with some of the other factions' rules. It means nothing to me." I say and I feel a twinge of guilt in my stomach. It actually means a lot to me. "Whose idea was it?" he asks and I tell him it was Max's. He nods before kissing me one more time.
As I walk away I turn back and smile at him. He returns the smile but I can tell it's forced. I hate myself for leaving him but I am going to hate myself even more when this trip is over and I will most likely have to crush him.
I walk outside and take my spot next to Tobias as a man takes our bags away. While they are getting loaded, I feel Tobias slip his hand into mind, entwining our fingers.
Another man steps out of the truck and as soon as I see him, I recognize him immediately. "Beatrice?" he says and walks toward us swiftly although when he sees my hand linked with Tobias's his steps slow. "Hello Robert, how are you?" I ask and I feel Tobias chuckle beside me and I know why. Asking people how they are is an Abnegation tendency.
"I am good Beatrice. How are you?" he replies. "I am good but please, call me Tris." I say and he nods before turning toward Tobias. "Hello, my name is Robert. My I ask who you are?" he asks and stretches out his hand. A Dauntless greeting. Tobias takes it, "I am Four. Tris's husband." He says it like it's no big deal.
Robert looks between me and Four a few times before shrugging his shoulder and walking back toward the truck. Max walks up to us and puts a hand on Four's shoulder. "You two be good and stay safe. I should be in touch soon." He says before walking back toward the compound.
Tobias then to the truck where one of the men is holding a door open. I thank him and climb in, Tobias following suit. We start to move and I try to comfortable in the chair but it isn't soft so it's nearly impossible. Finally, I decide to turn around and lie on Tobias. I rest my head in his lap and he starts to play with my hair. I soon fall asleep to the soothing feeling.
A/N: So how do you guys want this trip to go? Do want it to go quick with very little detail or do you want a chapter on each faction? I was already planning on making a whole chapter on Abnegation but what about the other ones? Let me know in the reviews.
