(A/N: I do not own Divergent. Nor will I ever. I just own my ideas)
The next few chapters will be long per request for a detailed description of the trip. No less than 3,000 words but I will try to keep them from getting extremely boring. This will probably be one of the longer ones because it is kind of an introduction to the trip.
The Abnegation and Erudite chapter will be split into two each. Since they are both aptitudes Tris had as well as the fact that she has family there.
Here is the fixed version of this chapter. I had a couple of notes that I had repeated the abuse telling and I did read back and notice that they were correct. I changed them so now he only tells her once :)
Tobias POV
When we arrive at the Amity compound, Tris is still asleep on my lap. She looks so peaceful and I don't want to wake her up but I have to. I lean down a press a light kiss to her lips and she stirs. "Come on Tris. We're here." I say to her and her eyes flutter open. She smiles at me and I run my fingers through her hair.
Something must catch her eye because she grabs my hand and brings it to her eyes. She stares intently at the ring on my finger before smiling and looking at me. "This looks good on you," she says. I smile at her and kiss her again.
We pull away when the door to the truck opens. Tris's friend Robert glares at me as I get out. What is his problem?
I take our bags from the Amity guy and we follow Robert into the compound. There are all different types of scents floating around. There is the sweet smell of the growing fruit mixed with the rotten food that has fallen along with manure of the animals nearby.
When we enter the compound, Johanna greets us. "Four, Tris, so good to see you again. How was the ride here?" she asks, hugging us both. I notice Tris is as stiff as I am when she does so but we both know it is the type of thing we are bound to experience within the next week so Johanna is just trying to prepare us.
"It was comfortable, thank you Johanna. And thank you for allowing us to stay in the compound over the next week." Tris says and smiles at her. "It is my pleasure, dear. Please follow me to your room." She motions for us to follow her and we do.
We follow Johanna down multiple hallways that are decorated in all types of art work. When we get to the end of a hallway, Johanna takes two sets of keys out of her pocket and unlocks the door in front of us. After she has done so, she hands one of the sets to me and the other to Tris.
She opens the door to the room and motions us in. Tris enters first and I follow her. I hear Tris gasp and I am having the same feeling. The room— or should I say apartment is huge. The walls are mixes of colors that you would find in a sunset and the whole back wall is glass. "I hope you two don't mind but you will be sharing this space. And by the way, the glass is one way so no one can see in so you don't have to worry about peeping eyes." She says with a chuckle.
"It is perfect Johanna. Actually, Tris and I just recently married so it wouldn't be a big deal anyway." I say and Johanna's eyes widen. "You two are married! Congratulations. Tris can I see your ring?" she asks and Tris lifts her hand. Johanna runs her eyes along the ring and smiles. "It is beautiful sweetie. Four has good taste." She says and winks at me. I feel my cheeks heat up and I look down.
She laughs, "Well, I really must be going. Dinner is at 6pm but there are snacks in the fridge if you are hungry. Please let me know if you need anything. We will be discussing your work here with the Amity initiate instructors after dinner. You will find that there are clothes in the closet made for your specific size." She says before leaving us.
I turn to Tris and engulf her in my arms. She rests her head on my chest as I rest mine on her head. She pulls away momentarily and looks at me. "How is it that you find it so easy to say we are married?" she asks and I feel my cheeks heat up. She chuckles and I smirk at her. I sigh, "Look, Tris. I say it so easily because I hope that we will last long enough for me not to have to pretend when I say it." I am trying to get her to understand and by the looks of it, she does.
She stands on her tiptoes to bring her lips to mine. I kiss back without question. We are both expressing our true feelings as the passion builds.
I back up a little and lean against the arm of the couch. It allows me to be about the same height as her so she isn't straining. She wraps her arms around my neck and I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her into me. I fall back into the couch when she pushes me and our lips disconnect. She looks down at me and motions for me to scoot up on the couch.
I do so and she moves around the arm to the side of the couch. She leans down to kiss me lightly and I pull her down on top of me. She doesn't seem to mind but I know she won't go any further. I may have not been a leader when she was in her landscape but while I finishing filling all the initiates' folders away, I saw Tris's and looked inside. She has 7 fears but one of them is intimacy. I can't risk scaring her.
Tris deepens the kiss and I comply. I run my fingers up and down her spine and I feel her shiver. Finally, when I feel like I am getting to a point when this might go further than she wants I pull away from her. She sits up, straddling my hips and frowns. "Tris, please you have to understand. If we continued, I might not have been able to stop myself." I say and her frown goes away and is replaced with a grimace.
"You know my fears?" she asks and gets off my lap. She crosses her arms over her chest and leans into her leg. I sit up and put my elbows on my knees. "Yes Tris, I do." I am sorry if you didn't want me to know them." I say, hoping she won't be mad and I luck out when she nods with understanding.
"It's okay. Curiosity can get the better of us but I am glad you know. It was embarrassing having to tell Uriah." I cringe at the name and she notices. She takes me in her arms and hugs me to her. "I love you Tobias."
"I love you too, Beatrice." I whisper into her hair and I hear her giggle. I pull back from her and look at her questioningly. "Beatrice? Really?" I smile at her. "Not good?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"We should probably change and unpack." She says to me and I nod. We both go grab our suitcases and place them on opposite sides of the bed. She is the first to go into the closet and comes out a minute later in a red flowly sundress. She notices me staring and smirks, "like what you see?" I nod and move into the closet next.
There are tons of clothes ranging from pale, almost white, yellows up to extremely pigmented reds. I grab a pair of tan shorts and a red shirt that matches Tris's dress and change. I walk out of the closet and look around but Tris isn't anywhere to be seen. "Tris?" I call out and her head pops out from the door next to the closet.
"Yes?" she asks and I shake my head. I take the rest of my stuff and unpack. There is a small kitchen table and I take my computer over to it and turn it on. The first screen to pop up is a letter from Max.
Four,
I trust that you will complete all tasks I have assigned and keep yourself out of trouble in the process. I know that since we are Dauntless that being in a place where fighting is completely forbidden but please be good. I hope that if you can't do that for yourself that Tris can help you.
You really do love her. Don't ask how I know, I just can tell. The married couple was something I actually did for you so thank me later. I hope you enjoy your stay with her while on your trip but do remember you have a job to get done.
On that note, you will find on this computer all the general information you need to know about all the factions you will be visiting. There is also your itinerary of all your meeting for each faction. Other than what is on the schedule, you are expected to do what all the other members of the factions are doing according to the specific leaders' orders.
I will start calls with you and Tris next week and they will a regular thing that will occur on the last night you are in each faction.
-Max
"I can't believe he knows about my feelings for Tris. Am I really that obvious?" I hear a chuckle next to me. "Yes, you are Tobias." Tris says to me and I curse myself. "Did I say that out loud?" I ask and she nods, trying to hold in laughter. I look over at the clock and it is 5:36. "Do you want to head down to dinner soon? I am getting kind of hungry." She nods and we get up.
I grab the keys Johanna gave me before taking Tris's hand and walking out of the apartment. We start to walk and I soon realize that I have no idea where we are going. Tris must realize this too because the next time an Amity member passes us she grabs their arm.
"Excuse me, but where is the cafeteria?" she asks and they point us down the hallway on our left. Tris thanks them and starts to pull me down the hallway. As we get further down, I begin to smell food and my stomach grumbles again.
Finally, Tris and I arrive at the cafeteria. We walk up to the line and start looking at all the food. It is similar to the stuff we eat at Dauntless, so I grab whatever I recognize. When Tris and I are done, we look around the cafeteria and see Johanna waving us over.
I take Tris's hand in mine and she smiles up at me before heading toward Johanna. We take a seat in front of her and she smiles at us. "Red is a good color on you Tris." She states and Tris thanks her before beginning her meal.
About halfway through dinner, a couple of people come over and sit down around us and Johanna. Robert is within the group. "Four, Six, these are your fellow instructors; Amber, Sam, Robert, and Melissa. Once we are all done eating we will head off to the meeting room to discuss the plans for the next week." We nod and finish quickly.
As we make our way to the meeting room I start to analyze the other instructors. Amber is a tall blonde; she seems very peppy based on the way she walks. She and Melissa keep giggling every few minutes and looking at me and Tris. Melissa is about the same height as Amber but she has dark brown hair. Sam seems as flamboyant as any person could get. He joins in on Melissa and Ambers' conversation and walks with a hop in his step. Robert is probably the most normal one here. He keeps in step with Johanna and makes quiet conversation with Johanna that I can't seem to make out.
When we arrive at the meeting room we all sit down and I pull Tris's chair out for her. She smiles at me before taking a seat. Johanna addresses us, "Guys, this is Mr. and Mrs. Eaton or more casually known as Four and Six. They will be staying with us for the next week to learn the customs of our faction like the ones from Erudite and Candor did previously. Please in your own words, describe your life here in Amity as well as the things you do."
They all begin to explain things but I only pick up the important things. Walk with a skip in your step. Wear the faction colors. Laugh a lot. Just some basic things.
When they are all done, Johanna dismisses the others but requests for us and Robert to stay behind. She motions for us to take a seat again and we do. "I sense some tension between the three of you but more particularly between Four and Robert. We believe in healthy conflict resolution so you two must talk it out. Now." She says in a motherly tone.
Robert turns to me, "I don't like you. I don't like that you are with Beatrice. I think she deserves better." He says bluntly and I just shake my head. "I know she does but she chose me and I am giving her everything I possibly can. We love each other and you can't fight love." Tris looks up at me and an endearing look which causes me to smile. I turn back to Robert, "Why do you care so much about Tris's life anyway?" I ask and he looks down at his feet.
That's what I thought.
I stand up and pull Tris with me. I say a hasty goodbye to Johanna and make my way out of the meeting room. Once I get Tris back to our apartment, I push her against the door and kiss her. "I love you," I say when I pull away. "I love you too." She replies before I let her down.
-PAGE BREAK-
It is Thursday, day four of our trip and nothing has really happened. I am actually getting kind of bored. Yesterday, Tris and I had to learn how to work in the farms which went well until we decided to have a little fun and jump on horses. Let's just say that earned us a motherly lecture from Johanna.
At the moment, Tris and I are out in the fields picking fruit off the trees. She is sitting in a tree high up and I am standing below her holding the basket that she frequently drops food into.
"Four? Tris?" I hear our names being called out and look around the large trunk of the apple tree to see Robert heading for us. Oh Great. We haven't spoken since the meeting on Monday so there is tension in the air when he approaches us. "Johanna wishes for your presence in the meeting room. Something about a presentation on Amity." He says and I nod.
Tris looks down from her perch in the tree and based on the smirk on her face, I know exactly what she is going to do. I put my arms out and she jumps off the branch she was sitting on and into my arms. She land and we both make an Oomph noise which she giggles at.
I swing Tris across my body so that she is on my back before starting our way back to the compound building. Once we arrive, I set Tris down and open the meeting room door for her. Johanna is sitting with two people, one that looks about 65 and the other looks to be about 35. "Welcome, please have a seat." She says and gestures to the seats in front of us.
"This is Angela and Karley, they are both part of an organization we have here that we would like to make you aware to. Since Amity's manifesto is based on peace, we look at ourselves as an out cove to escape treats. I have had numerous initiates come here with a history of abuse. I know of your past, Four," I squeeze my fists tight; I know where this is going. "We would like you and Six to look for abuse while going through the initiate interviews. If you find any signs, we would like you to notify them that you understand their predicament and that Amity is a safe place if they want to get away from it all."
Tris takes my hand in hers and gently rubs her fingers over my knuckles until it relaxes it enough for her to intertwine our fingers together. "How do you know about Four's past?" Tris asks. "I am trained in finding signs of previous abuse. I can see the pain in your eyes that doesn't seem to go away even when you are at your happiest." She says I am surprised. Am I that readable?
"We'll do it," I say quickly before standing up, releasing Tris's hand. I leave the room and head down the hall. I don't hear Tris's quiet footsteps but I don't care right now. I make it back to the apartment quickly and I throw myself on the bed when I get there. I don't know what urges it but I let everything out. I cry into the pillow, hoping to muffle my sobs.
After a little while I hear the apartment door close and feel a hand rubbing my back soon after. Tris whispers soothing words into my ears until I get my breathing back to normal. I turn over and face her and she has a couple tears on her cheeks. I reach up and brush them away with my thumb but continue to rub her cheek when their gone.
"Why are you crying?" I ask and she shakes her head. I move onto my back and pull her down so her head is lying on my chest. I run my hand through her hair as hers plays with the fabric of my shirt. We are quiet for a while until Tris breaks the silence.
"You know that I love you right?" she asks and it surprises me enough that I sit up and she turns to look at me. "If this hurts you so much, why did you agree to help Johanna?" I shake my head, "Look Tris, those parts of my life were the worst I have ever been through. I needed support and somewhere to go to get away from it all. Since I didn't have any of that, I think others deserve it." I say and she pulls me into her arms.
"That is so sweet, I love you so much." she says and I kiss her lightly.
-PAGE BREAK-
Dinner is uneventful and I tried this new food called broccoli. Which was actually pretty good. Since Tris and I don't have any meetings, I take her back to the apartment. When we get in she does something unexpected. She backs me up to the bed until the back of my knees hit the edge and I fall. She smirks at me and climbs on top of me.
"Uh, Tris? Watcha doin?" I say trying to hide the want in my voice. "I wanted to try something," she says before leaning and smashing her lips to mine. I am startled but kiss back. She starts to run her tongue over my bottom lip and I let her enter. Her tongue slithers in and mashes with mine. Her hands start to roam down my body to the hem of my shirt and I get the idea. I sit up, not detaching our lips, and pull the shirt off quickly before reattaching myself to her. I run my hands down her back and cup her rear which she doesn't seem to mind. I start to get bored in the position we are in so I keep hold of her with arm and flip us over. She giggles against my mouth and I smile. I start to roam my hands up her sides until I get to the sides of her chest. At that point, she pulls away from me and moves my hands back to her hips.
We are breathing heavy and I turn and collapse next to her. I turn my head so I am looking at her and her eyes find mine. "You wanted to see how far you would go until your fear came up." I say already knowing that it's right. She nods. "You also got nervous when I started to take control." I states and she nods again.
Tris sits up and I stay on my stomach for a moment longer before doing the same. "Tris, can I tell you an observation I've made?" I ask, taking her hands in mine. "Of course Tobias." She says and it urges me on. "I don't think you are actually afraid of… sex… I just think you are afraid of not being in control. You seemed fine until I took over. You are afraid of someone taking advantage of you." I say and look at her hands. The ring on her left 4th finger makes me smile.
She moves so that she is sitting astride my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. "I think you right." She whispers into my neck.
We fall asleep in this exact position.
-PAGE BREAK-
I wake up before Tris and slip out of bed. I take a shower and get dressed and by the time I'm done, she is still asleep. I walk over to her and crouch down beside her head. I watch her for a moment, the way her hair that is over her face moves when she breaths and the light up and down motion of her shoulders. I don't want to disturb her but this could be fun.
I go down to the end of the bed and grab the end of the sheets. Quickly, I pull them off in one motion and I hear Tris moan. "Leave me alone Tobias. Let me sleep." She says through the pillow. I step back a few steps before running and launching myself onto the bed. I must hit hard because Tris goes flying into the air and onto the floor.
I look over the bed and see Tris face down on the floor. "Come on Tris, get up. You didn't hit the ground that hard." I say but she still doesn't move. I hop off the bed and kneel down beside her. I run my hand down her back and feel her shiver under the touch. "Tris, now I definitely know you're awake." I say and she groans.
I flip her over on her back and she glares at me. I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder. "Tobias! Put me down." She yells but I just shake my head. Luckily I make it to the bathroom before she breaks out of my hold. She stands in front of my and glares. I just shake my head and point into the bathroom and she doesn't argue.
I go out into the kitchen and check the fridge. I decide to make Tris a traditional Abnegation breakfast. I grab all of the ingredients out of the fridge and go over to the stove to start on the scrambled eggs. Once they are in the pan and starting to cook, I move over to the coffee machine and start it. As I am doing so I feel two small arms wrap around my waist and a head on my back.
When I am done with the coffee, I turn quickly and move so that Tris is against the counter. She looks up at me surprised and I kiss her forehead. "Go sit down, breakfast should be done soon." I say and she complies.
5 minutes later I am walking over to Tris with 2 plates and 2 cups of coffee. "Enjoy," I say as I set the plate down in front of her. She takes her fork and digs in. I watch her for a moment before starting on my own plate. "Is there more?" she asks. I nod and she rushes to the kitchen. I laugh to myself. Tris comes back with a full plate of eggs and inhales those too.
When she is finally done, she sits back and rests her hands on her stomach. "That was so good. I haven't had scrambled eggs since I switched factions." She says and I smiles, thinking the same thing. "Well, I believe we have the day off to just wonder around the compound and live like Amity. At least that is what Johanna said." I say and her face spreads into a smirk.
She moves her chair out and stands up. I raise my eyebrow when she begins to walk over to me, swaying her hips a little more than normal. When she gets to me she pushes my chair back and climbs on top of me, straddling my waist. She leans down and kisses my lips. I don't hesitate to kiss back.
When she finally pulls away she smiles at me. "I feel so free being here. I can kiss you whenever I want." She says and I nod in return.
Right then, a thought pops into my head. "Why don't we go on a picnic?" I ask and her eyes lights up. She jumps off and runs to the bathroom yelling, "Yes!" as she goes. I smile at her running figure before getting up and heading to the door.
When I arrive at Johanna's office I knock and the door swings open. "Four, nice to see you. What can I do for you?" she asks with a permanent smile. "I was actually wondering if I could take Tris out on a picnic and if so, if you had a basket and a blanket that I could take with me."
"Of course you can, I will have the people working on lunch create a basket for you. I'll put a blanket inside as well. Taking people out on picnics is a common thing in Amity so please enjoy yourselves." She says and I thank her before heading back to the apartment.
When I get there the door is locked and I feel around my pockets for my keys. Crap, I forgot them. "Tris? Can you let me in? I forgot my keys," I call out while knocking. A minute later, the door opens to Tris wrapped in a towel with her wet hair sprawled out around her shoulders. "You really need to remember your keys. I was trying to get ready." She says before closing the door behind me.
"I know. Also, wear some type of dress, it will be more comfortable." I say to her and she raises her eyebrow. "When did you start to make my clothing decisions?" I know she is joking based on the look on her face. "Today, my love. Today" I say and she blushes. "I like that name," she says while looking down at her feet. I smile to myself, "Good, because I like it too, love." I say and she stands on her tiptoes and places a kiss to my cheek before walking into the closet and closing the door.
She comes out a little while later, her hair in cascades down her back and a bright yellow dress on her body. "You look beautiful," I say and kiss her quickly before turning toward the door. "Shall we?" I ask and she nods.
We walk down to Johanna's office and pick up the basket and blanket before heading out of the compound. I take Tris down a path toward a large patch of green grass and large trees before putting down the basket at the base of a large oak tree. I lay out the blanket and she sits down. I decide to leave the food packed in the basket for now since we only ate an hour ago.
I sit down beside her and lie down on my back. This prompts her to move slightly so she is lying perpendicular to me with her head on my chest. I absentmindedly run my fingers through her hair and she lets out a content sigh.
For a while we just lay there in comfortable silence until she finally breaks it. "This is perfect. Not having to worry about anything and just lying here with you." I smile to myself; she really does enjoy the peace. "So if you enjoy this so much, why did you choose Dauntless?" She sits up and looks at me. "I honestly choose Dauntless because I couldn't be peaceful all the time. I love Dauntless because of the rush and the hustle and bustle that I experience every day." She says and then smirks. "You're a perk too."
I laugh loudly and sit up. "Can I tell you something?" I say suddenly serious. She nods. "I was going to leave Dauntless and become Factionless. I didn't think I belonged in Dauntless. But that was until you came along. You made me feel like I could finally fit in. I love you so much Tris!" I say and she crashes her lips to mine. I am taken back by the force but immediately kiss back.
I move down her neck and she pushes me back and straddles my lap. "Are you okay?" I ask her and she nods. I continue down her neck to her collarbone and press wet kisses along it. She tries to suppress a moan but I hear it. I smile to myself and start to move back up her neck to her lips. I capture hers with mine again and it takes all my strength not to flip us over. Because if I flipped us over, I would be in control and she would stop.
She bites my lower lip and I groan. I can feel the smile on her lips through mine. This time she flips us over and I give her a questioning look. "I trust you to stop when I tell you too." She says quickly and then locks our lips together again. She moves down my face this time and presses chaste kisses along my jaw up to my ear.
I know my breaking point and this is it. If she continues like this I might not be able to stop myself. I pull away from her slightly and she frowns. "Sorry Tris. It's not you, I just might not be able to stop soon." I say and she nods before flipping us over again and lying down on me. He head resting on my chest.
"I love you Tobias." She says quietly.
"I love you too, Tris." I respond with a smile.

Sunday finally came and I was ready to head to Erudite. Although this week has been peaceful I am ready for a little normality, or at least as close to it as possible. Tris and I haven't had to do much these last couple days. I took her on another picnic yesterday and she really enjoyed herself. I know she enjoys not having to hide our relationship here.
It's about 3 in the afternoon when Tris' computer starts to make an odd noise. I walk over to it and open it. There is a video chat call from an unknown source. I decide what the heck and hit accept. It takes a second but when it finally loads, Uriah's face pops up.
"Hey babe, how are… oh, hey Four. Where's Tris?" he asks. I turn around and see Tris lying on our bed, asleep. We worked out in the fields this morning and she needed a nap. "She's actually asleep right now. She worked this morning and needed a nap. How were you able to get clearance to call her anyway?" I ask somewhat annoyed.
"I asked Max and he told me it was okay. Let her know I called." He says before hanging up. I shake my head and walk over to the bed. Leaning down slowly, I settle onto the bed and pull Tris to me. She stirs slightly but doesn't wake up.
I slowly drift off to sleep.
-PAGE BREAK-
I stir awake to a pressure on my lap. I open my eyes and see Tris staring down at me. "Hello Tobias," she says while smirking. She leans down and kisses me quickly before hoping up off me. I groan and turn on my side. She is leaning against the bathroom door frame and staring at me.
"Tease," I mumble and she laughs before closing the bathroom door. I hop up and look outside, the sun is just starting to set and I feel my stomach growl. "Hey Tris, do you want to go to the cafeteria or whip something up here for dinner?" I call to her while she is in the bathroom. "Cafeteria," she yells back a minute later.
I move into the closet to change and come out in a pair of khakis and a sunset colored shirt. Well that fits. I move out of the way when Tris comes out of the bathroom so she can get changed. She is about to take her towel off when she looks at me. "Leave," she says quickly and I put my hands up in surrender before leaving.
She comes out a minute later in red shorts and a yellow shirt. I take her hand and we walk out of the apartment and toward the cafeteria. When we arrive, we grab some random food off the line and head over to the table Johanna is sitting at.
"Evening Johanna," Tris says and she nods toward us. We eat in silence for a while until Robert arrives. "Hey guys, you ready to head home tomorrow?" he asks and we shake our heads. "We aren't going home; we leave for Erudite tomorrow morning. But honestly, I love it here." Tris says and looks toward me. That reminds me.
"Tris, Uriah called earlier. You need to call him back." I whisper into her ear. She turns toward me with her eyebrow raised and I just shrug.
We finish dinner quickly and let Johanna know that we will see her before he leave in the morning. I take Tris back to the apartment where she goes straight into the bathroom to change. I go over to the closet and take off my shirt and shorts before walking back into the room. Tris walks out of the bathroom wearing some short-short yellow shorts and a red flowy tank top.
"Ready for bed?" she asks me and I smirk. I am not really tired. I go over to Tris and pick her up, throwing her over my shoulder. "Tobias!" she screams but I don't put her down. I run over to the bed and toss her down before jumping on with her. I move myself so that I am between her legs and I am hovering.
"So, are you tired?" I ask and she bites her lip before shaking her head. I smile before leaning down and encasing her lips in my own. She doesn't hesitate to kiss back so I pull her closer to me, although still being careful not to crush her. I move my lips down her neck straight to her collarbone and she moans.
I am about to try something but she stops me by involuntarily pressing her hips into mine. "Tris," it comes out as a breathy sound but she seems to enjoy what she does to me. I move my hand down her body until it goes to the bottom of her chest. She pulls away and looks into my eyes before nodding.
I move my hand over her chest and move my hand around. She moans in response and I smile wide. She starts to move hands down my chest until I stop her at my stomach. "Tris, we both know you're not ready. Let's stop now before we do something we regret." She nods bashfully before turning over on her side.
I move so that I am lying face to face with her and take her face in my hands. "I love you so much. Please don't think that I need this to be satisfied. I am perfectly fine with waiting."
"I know," she whispers before closing her eyes and moving her head till it's on my chest. She is out like a light within a few minutes and I follow not long after.
-PAGE BREAK-
I wake up a couple hours later to two voices. One is Tris and the other I can remember. I look around the apartment until I spot Tris on her computer, talking to it.
"I know Uriah, I miss you too. It really is a good experience to be out here and learn about all the different factions," she says.
"I know but I miss you so much. I can't see you at all can I?" he says through the computer. "No, but I will be home in three weeks."
"Okay, I'm going to go to bed Tris. It's 2:30 in the morning and I know you leave tomorrow for a different faction. I love you," he says to her and I feel a pull at my heart. "Night, I love you too." She says back before closing the computer and walking back to bed.
When she settles in, she turns to me and snuggles into my chest. "I know you're awake Tobias and I know you heard me. You know I love you, I just have to keep up with the act with him until I can get back and break things off." She says and I nod.
"I love you," I say before drifting back to sleep.
-PAGE BREAK-
It's 10am and Tris and I are handing our bags over to an Erudite man. I turn to Johanna.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality. I hope to see you soon." I say and she pulls me into a hug. "My pleasure Four. I hope to see you and your wife soon." She whispers in my ear and pulls away. She then turns to Tris and hugs her. When she pulls away, Tris's face is crimson. She must have said something to her.
Robert comes up just before we start over to the car and hugs Tris. "Nice to see you again. I hope you and your husband have a good life together." He says loud enough for me to hear. "Thank you Robert. We are very happy together and can't wait to start our lives together." Tris says to him before moving over to me and entwining our fingers.
"Ready?" she asks. "Ready." I reply before pulling her into the Erudite car.
Hey guys, sorry that way so gosh darn long. Please let me know if you don't like the long chapters because I can shorten then or split them into multiple chapters.
Again, I just want to make note that Erudite and Abnegation are both going to be split. They are going to be more in-depth than Amity and Candor.
Feedback is very much appreciated! Love you all.
