Sorry I took so long. Thanks guys for following me even though i have been inactive for a while.
How does this man know my name?
He hugs me tightly, his smell seems familiar – musky and sweaty.
"You're safe now." He says, but I don't feel safe. Not at all.
He starts kissing my neck and I push him away.
"Tris, what's wrong?"
"How do you know my name?" I demand
"What are you talking about? It's me Tobias. Your boyfriend."
My boyfriend?
"I've never seen you before in my life." I say.
"Stop it! You know who I am." Tobias shouts.
"I don't know you, I swear." I confess.
"Yes you do!" He shouts.
I just shake my head. I can see Chloe behind him giggling, she obviously finds this hilarious but I seriously don't.
He steps towards me and starts pleading with me to remember him. He touches my shoulders and starts shaking me and yells, "You used to love me so much. You would die for me and I would for you."
"Leave me alone! I don't love you, I've never seen you before." I shriek.
He looks hurt, heartbroken even. He starts crying and turns on Chloe.
"What did you do to her?" He shouts.
"She chose to wipe her own memory, I guess she wanted to forget you."
I wiped my own memory? Why would I forget him? My whole family are dead and it would be so much easier to forget them but I know that I would never be able to. They are a part of me and I won't erase that. I wouldn't erase anything.
"You're lying! Tris would never do that!"
"She did!" Chloe shouts.
"Come on, Tris. Let's go!"
I just stand still. I don't want to leave with a man I don't know but I am supposed to love. I don't want to stay here with Chloe, who said she would kill me.
I figure I'm safer with Tobias, he said he loves me, you wouldn't hurt someone you loved. I walk a few steps forward, to Tobias' side.
"You aren't leaving. I'm going to kill Tris. Then you and I are going to go somewhere private."
"We are going right now and you can't stop us." He says.
"Yes I can." Chloe smirks.
She reaches into her pocket and holds a controller in her right hand. She presses a random sequence of buttons and is about to press what I assume is the activation button when I shout at her to stop.
"You don't have to hurt him. Please. Just kill me instead." I shout.
I can't let him die. There's this connection between us, it's like electricity. It makes me brave.
"Tris. Stop it. Let me handle this." Tobias says sternly.
"Guards!" Shouts Chloe.
People flood into the room dressed in camouflage from head to toe. There is about ten of them, each with their individual guns. They restrain Tobias and semi-circle around me. I want to run but I know that they could easily catch me. I wouldn't even make it to the door. Chloe walks out the room and we follow her down the hallway. We stop outside the room, there are two doors.
"Put Tris in the left, Tobias in the right." Chloe commands.
Tobias tries to escape from their grasp but they are too strong and push him closer to the door.
He looks straight at me and says, "Be brave Tris."
I don't have time to respond, we are both pushed into the separate doors.
The guards wait outside the locked door. The room is separated into two by a glass wall. Tobias is in the other side. An invisible speaker says we have 60 seconds before extermination.
I have 60 seconds left to live. I feel faint, my palms are sweaty, my heart is thumping and I can hear my own quick breath.
Desperately, I frantically whack the glass with my fists, it doesn't even move. I give up and go to the front of my tank, the Tobias does the same. Our faces are a few inches apart, divided from the glass.
I want to remember him.
"Did I really love you?" I ask.
"Yes."
"I can't remember you," I mumble.
"I know, I'm sorry,"
15 seconds left.
"I wish I could remember you," I say.
"It's not your fault." He says honestly.
5 seconds left.
"I love you Tris."
