Again,this chapter is short but I was really flustered this week with three frickin birthdays in the one week and this just slipped my mind.

Tris POV
Me and Tobias are on our way to the pit,where a going-away party is being thrown. I am wearing the same outfit I wore this morning.
I didn't bother to change because there's no point. This party won't be will be binge drinking,fast food and bad dancing.
Tobias' grip tightens on my hand and I look down at it,then up at him. He is smiling,almost grinning at me. I know what will happen at this party. Tobias will go with Zeke,Lynn and Marlene to get drunk.
I will sit with Christina,Will and Al to eat food and talk.
Tobias stops as we turn the corner. Some people are dancing in a big group in the middle,while other are standing and talking or sitting down and eating. I look back at Tobias and he leans down slightly and kisses my lips softly.
"Woo! Yeah,get in there Four!" We break apart as Zeke's voice reaches us. My cheeks are burning with embarassment but Tobias just chuckles and says. "Shut up Zeke." He kissed my cheek quickly before leaving with Zeke.
"Tris!" A voice calls,I spin around,trying to find were it came from. I finally see Christina sitting at a table with Will,waving frantically. I make my way over and sit down,smiling.
"So Tris,Are you and Tobias staying together in Marcus' house?" Will asks,before digging into a pile of fries.
"Yeah." I say cheerily,but my mind is grim.I wonder how Tobias will act towards Marcus,or how should I act towards him. "Are you guys staying together?" Will and Chris look at each other briefly and shake their heads.
"Nah,Maybe next year." She says as she takes one of Wills fries. He doesn't seem to notice so I take the risk and reach towards the plate,My eyes on the prize.
"Hey!" Will smacks my hand and my burst in a fit of laughter before her allows me to take one.
Tobias POV
The party has been going on for a few hours now and people are only now getting into the spirit of it,even so,I may go back to the apartment soon. I say my goodbyes to the group with a pat on the back and hug,before I get up to go look for Tris. The Dj is playing the only slow song of the night,and I want to dance with Tris I push through a few people to the dance-floor and find her dancing. With Will. I feel a spark of jealousy inside me and I'm shocked. Why should I be jealous,It's Will,he has Christina and I guess it was my fault for being gone all night. But still,I feel like Will's hand is too far down Tris' back.
I stand at the side until the song is over and until they break apart before approaching the group. Tris smiles at me and I get a casual 'hey' from Will and Christina.
"Are you ready to go?" I ask Tris.
"Yeah,I am." She says,relief showing on her face,as she hugs both Will and Christina,whispering things during the hug I can't hear.
She breaks away from them and takes my hand,as we turn and push through the people. We climb up the stairs to our apartment and she lets go of my hand to go and flop onto the bed.
"Tris,I want to talk about tomorrow."
"I know you do."
I sit on the edge of the bed,thinking about how to start this off. "Tris,When we get to Abnegation,I'm going to try and give Marcus a clean slate,and I want you to also."
"I'll do my best,Tobias." She says,her voice soft.
I kiss her cheek then get up off the bed to go to the bathroom. While I'm in there,I take my shirt off and throw it in the laundry. I walk out,shaking my hands off. "And Tris-" I stop,seeing her eyes closed and her chest rising and falling slowly.
I slowly and gently unlace her boots and slip them off,then I peel her jacket away from her body. I pull the blanket up over her and then slip under it myself.
I don't sleep for at least an hour,trying to remember happy memories from my child-hood but they all include my mother,I can't think of any with Marcus.
Then another question rises in my mind ; Marcus or Dad? Would Dad feel wrong leaving my mouth after all these years?
These thoughts plague my mind until I finally drift into a heavy sleep.
