Tobias.
I freeze. He was so distant earlier; I was scared that he wouldn't be able to get it. I feel my muscles relax. I can finally get Tris back. If Zeke couldn't have found the serum, I'd have to make it myself. This could take years like it did for Tris. I smile and remember that she is right in front of me. And we almost kissed. I guess it won't be much of a problem now.
"What?" She sounds anxious. She rubs her sweaty palms on her thighs and breathes nervously. Her cheeks flame with embarrassment. Probably for just trying to kiss me. I feel us make a silent agreement to forget the past minute even happened.
"That was him, he said he found the serum" She looks up at me, her expression showing hopefulness and happiness. I haven't seen her look like this before. I hope I don't let her down somehow. I don't want to disappoint her. I want her to always be this happy.
"He told me to meet him at my apartment."
"Well lets go then."
"Uhm."
"What?"
"I don't think you should come."
"Excuse me?! Let's not forget that the only reason you are even getting the serum is so you can give it to me. This plan is about me. I deserve to be there."
"No, it's not that. It's just that he doesn't know what I need it for. I told him it was to do some research or something. If he knew that I told anyone about the serum's existence or that I was smuggling the serum for someone, he'd never give it to me. I'm sorry."
This, of course, is a lie. But I don't want her to be there because even though she knows a lot of private information, she doesn't know that she is my Tris. It's too risky to take her with me.
She nods her head looking thwarted but understanding. I leave the 'Dauntless club' and walk back.
"Where is it?" I say frantically, barging into the apartment room.
I see him sitting looking flustered, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah, funny story actually."
He better not be saying what I think he's saying.
"I don't really have it at this exact second." He chuckles, looking terrified.
I'm so close to going and ripping his throat out.
"But I know how to get it."
"Isn't that what you said at the diner?" I snarl.
"No, at the diner I told you I had no idea how to get it. Well now I do."
"Well then why did you call me while I was busy saying you had the serum."
"I was being metaphorical! I was just really excited."
"Ok fine. How do you get the serum then?"
"I have to steal it."
I sit down and rub my temple with my hand. How could I forget that Zeke is well, Zeke?
"Listen, I know how it sounds but I can do it. I know the building that it's kept within in and out. Including secret doors and access codes that will get me in. I leave on Thursday."
It' Monday. Normally, I would not let anyone do this but for some strange reason I trust Zeke with my life. And I stupidly believe that he can do this. Even though I know he's going to need me to go after him and save him.
"Ok fine."
He smiles and thanks me, which makes me wonder.
"Why are you doing this anyway? Risking everything, going out of your way to help?"
His face turns more serious.
"Why do you think? Because, somehow I just know Uriah is alive. And Tris is somehow linked to him. And because I'm a human. Tris and I were good friends. I don't know if you knew that. But we were close. I want her back too."
It's wrong, but jealously fills me. I had no idea they were such good friends. What else didn't I know?
"But I'll help you with Tris under one condition."
"What?"
"You need to tell her."
"Huh?"
"You need to tell Tris, everything. Before I give her the serum."
What is he even saying? Where is this coming from?
"Zeke, that won't help us at all. That will probably just completely mess everything up."
"Just do it."
"Why? I can't. She won't even believe me."
"Stop being blind, Four! It's obvious she knows something we don't. Something that will help us find Uriah. And once I give her the serum, she might forget. It's just another gut feeling. You have to tell her."
He's out of his mind. I can't tell Tris about the truth. I just can't. It's not going to help Uriah. It won't help anyone.
He looks pissed though. And I know not to mess with a pissed off Zeke.
"Zeke, telling Tris who she is will not help you find your brother. We will fix Tris, bring her memories back and then find him."
I'm still not going to tell him about my skepticism in Uriah being alive. I know he isn't. I watched him die. I killed him.
"Four, if you don't tell her I won't get the serum. I said I'd bring it under one condition. This is the condition."
I've never seen him like this. He seems so immersed in telling Tris the truth. But for a mere second, I agree with him.
Tris should know the truth. Before we change her.
"Fine. I'll tell her everything. Just get the serum."
He slams the door as he leaves.
Sorry that this chapter is a little short. The next one will be longer. But yes you heard right, next chapter Tobias will spill to Tris. What's Tris going to say? Dun. Dun. Dun. Haha. But im freaking out like I am not okay. In 50 HOURS I will be seeing the Divergent movie. And everyone in school is talking about it which bugs me to no end but im too excited to even . Im sitting here jamming out to the soundtrack. Whats your favorite song on it?
Thanks for all the reviews! They were so sweet and make me so happy so please, I beg that you keep reviewing. But I still need to answer some questions.
Angelina Roontga- When I made Tris like this, my perspective was that she really isn't Tris. Her memories were wiped and she was told by other people who she was. This means she is an entire different person than who she was in the books. But don't worry, the sweet and innocent Tris that we all love will be back. And she's a little rude because of her inner struggles. She is a very lonely and closed off person which kind of makes her a scrooge. And I tried to make you guys sympathetic to her because of it. But keep reading because her character definitely develops. And im so sorry you have to wait longer for the movie. That truly sucks. Just sit tight and rewatch trailers and clips and stuff.
Crazy4tobias- lol I kind of wanted to do that but like, where would the baby come from? I don't really want them to hook up yet and this is 5 years after allegiant so it wouldn't really make sense. Plus I have a lot more in store for Tris than a baby.
Divergent1315 & trispri0r- I don't want to spoil anything. The only thing I can say is patience. It will come. Just keep reading and hang tight.
REVIEW PLEASEE!
