Tris-

The next few days blew by in a breeze. The compound grew quiet and the initiates got their heads down. The effect on them was astounding, I knew how horrible the stimulations were so could sympathise with them. Slightly.
Today was the day of the fear landscapes and also my birthday.
I rolled out of bed and grunted slightly. Birthdays. It felt my life was passing me by and I didn't even realise. My reflection stared back and observed my body. Curvier, slightly taller but still the same. The door opened slightly and Tobias poked his head around the door.

"Oh you're awake" he pushed the door open fully and pulled me into him by the waist.

"Happy birthday beautiful" he whispered into my neck.

I drew his mouth to mine then pulled away.

"Its only another day" I murmured, brushing my lips across the hollow of his throat.

"No, its more than 'another day' Tris, its a day devoted entirely to you" his sweet breath tickled my cheek as I pulled back to look at him.

"So as its your day, I'm treating you to some well deserved quality time, just me and you". I smiled as I took in his words, after 2 years it still gave me butterflies to think of him as mine, stupid I know.

"Just me and you"

I kissed him before he pulled back

"Well for the majority of the day, Christina's got something planned for tonight"

he winked and I groaned, I knew Chris only to well and I knew she went over the top on many things. I wasn't looking forward to this. Tobias laughed before slapping my bum lightly.

"Hurry up and get dressed, birthday girl" he sang before jogging out the bedroom.
Oh lord.

The weather was delicious. The sun beamed down generously, highlighting the glorious blue sky that lay over head.

"So where are you taking me Mr Eaton?" I half joked, we sat on the train, the warm wind slightly whipping my hair back.

"you'll see soon enough" he replied, I rolled my eyes and continued to play with our entwined fingers. Within a few minutes he had pulled me up and into his arms, bridal style.

"Time to jump" he winked before leaping out of the cabin and landing delicately on his feet, barely jostling me. I laughed at the sudden rush and slid gently out of his arms, taking his hand in mine.

"Its nothing special" he said "My mom brought me here a few times when I was younger, not many people know about it" he smiled before he led me across a small field. The grass stroked my ankles as we made our way to a small clearing. A lake lay in front of us, beautiful and clear in the breathtaking weather. A big apple tree stood near the lake, a rope swing with a tyre swung from one of the strong branches over the crystal water. I sighed as I took in all of my surroundings. It was utterly perfect.

"Tobias, it's beautiful"

"I know" he replied, smiling.

He led me under the apple tree and placed the blanket down along with the food he brought.

Hours passed by in the beautiful sun and it was just me and him, like he promised, enjoying each others company. We ate till we were full and swam until our bodies were aching from fatigue. We laughed and played and it was perfect. Just me and my boy.

A/N so sorry for the lack of updates, I just don't know what to write at all. Want the good news or the bad news first? Okay well, bad news- I'm failing math and science. Good news- I'm getting A's in English. Its pretty bad really which explains my sad moods lately. But fear not my friends, I'm working on it and I WILL CHANGE MY GRADES, I HAVE TOOOOO!

MOTIVATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

Hahaha I'll let you know how my life works out in the next few updates.

Speaking of whichhhhh
