Tris-

The evening sun started to drift behind the trees casting shadows around us. The air was warm and sweet, fitting for an evening like this. I lay on the blanket with Tobias watching the sky slowly turn a shade darker with each minute that passed.

"Thank you" I rolled onto my belly, resting my head on one hand with my other on his chest.

"For what?" He asked, stroking my hair behind my ear.

"For today. For this" I replied, smiling. He smiled back, his eyes twinkling.

"Don't worry, we can come back here again soon but I think we need to go now. Chris told me to have you back for 8:45"

I groaned at his words, a party was not my idea of fun. Instead I decided to try my luck with seduction. I hitched my leg over his waist and hoisted myself on top, taking his arms I placed them above his head and brought my face closer to his.

"Why don't we create our own fun?" He sighed then chuckled.

"Tris, don't do this. Tonights going to be good, honestly. Besides, you'll have to try harder than that" he winked before pulling us both up, slinging me over his shoulder then jogging toward the oncoming train.

I stepped out the bathroom. The bottom half of my long blonde hair lay straight and sleek over my shoulders and down my chest whilst the top half was poofed. I wore a black dress that scooped across my chest and fastened with a tiny button at the back, it defined my breasts and waist then pleated out slighty at the bottom, concealing 1/2 of my thighs. I liked it, I felt pretty. I smiled at Tobias who was sitting on the edge of the bed putting his Jordans on, he looked up briefly then did a double take. He moved his hands from his feet and sat up, resting his arms on his legs.

"You look sexy"

his eyes twinkled as they slowly ran over me from head to toe. His words sent a shiver down my spine and I smirked. Act coy.

"When don't I?" I asked slowly strutting over to him, stopping in-between his knees. He ran his hands gently up my bare legs but I stopped him half way, pulling him up.

"Time to go" I winked before letting go of his hands then walking out of the door.

Tobias guided me, covering my eyes the whole time. When he finally dropped his hands I realised we were at the pit except it looked completely different. Fairy lights hung around the earthy walls, creating a gentle glow in the now dark hall, crowds of people were clustered together all around, drinking and eating. As soon as the doors closed behind us and all eyes found us a loud SUPRISE was chanted. I laughed and felt the heat rise to my cheeks, Christina rushed over to embrace me whilst the music pounded from the speakers. Tonight was my night. Hours passed and still the music boomed, people dancing like their lives depended on it. I'd said my brief round of 'thank you' to people all over the place but now my legs were aching.

"Sitting down"

I mouthed to Tobias who was having banter with Zeke, he nodded and smiled in reply before returning to his conversation. It felt good to take the weight off my legs, specially in these killer heels. I took a swig of my drink before standing up, as I was about to walk into the crowd of swaying bodies I heard someone call my name.

"Tris!"
I looked around and found Rosie, slightly red in the face and short of breath.
I took her hand and leaded her into outskirts of the pit. Initiates weren't aloud out this late.

"What is it Rosie?" I asked, trying not to sound to demanding yet not to fragile.

"I er- its urm, well its not that big now I'm come to think of it-" she stuttered, not looking me in the eye

"Come on Rosie, clearly somethings on your mind" she nodded then looked up.

"Tris, I'm really scared for Kat, its like she keeps thinking she's not good enough and tonight I heard her sleep talking. All she kept saying was 'the chasm' and that 'she must'. I'm so scared, she's my big sister she cant-" the worry on her face soon contorted into something much worse, pain and loss. Tears were streaming down her face and I decided comfort was what she needed.

"Come on Rosie, I'll walk you back to the dormitory, we can have a chat then"

I gently looped my arm through hers to show her I wasn't in my instructor mode then leaded her into the quiet hall.

"Look Rosie, I know what its like, loosing a sibling and all" I sighed as I reopened the wound I thought I'd closed 2 years ago.

"Do you mean...they died?" Rosie asked, almost ashamed.

"Nono, we just chose different factions. But I thought I wouldn't be able to cope without my brother, it had always been me and him then to have him taken away, it was hard"
Rosie nodded, waiting for me to go on.

"All I'm saying is, you never know how truly strong you are until you are left on your own, of course we'll have to watch Kat carefully but all I'm saying is that Rosie you are strong and soon, you will be Dauntless"

Rosie looked at me thankfully before lightly hugging me.

"Tris, honestly I don't know where I'd be without you, I'm so sorry for ruining your birthday, I forgot to say you look absolutely gorgeous" I laughed

"Don't worry, you haven't ruined my birthday, sometimes its nice to talk about things but you should probably go bed now, I'll see you tomorrow" I smiled tenderly before walking back the way we came.

I rounded the corner and almost immediately toppled into a muscular figure.

"Tris!"

"Urm Tobias" I said, trying not to laugh at the look on his face.

"I tried to find my sexy little Trissy but then Zeke decided to-"

"I AM DAH DESTROYORRR"

I turned to see Zeke sprinting clumsily toward us down the corridor, a paint gun in his hand and a bright pink paint splat right on his crotch. Tobias doubled over laughing, I dragged him by his hand and we sprinted flat out until we reached our apartment. We slammed and locked the door behind us, leaving Zeke and his stream of profanity behind. I fell into Tobias' arms, laughing and struggling to catch my breath.

"Best birthday ever" I managed to breathe, he chuckled and held me tighter.

"I'm glad you've had a good day" he half slurred, "now for your last present".

His hands lifted me up slightly, our bodies pressed closed together, our lips moving perfectly in time. Together we let ourselves go.
