Tris and I walk hand-to-hand Christina's apartment- our walk mostly insisting of me rubbing circles on the back of her hand, me pulling her close to me and kissing her forehead, or Tris leaning into my chest. This is one of the things I miss most about having her with me.
According to my wrist watch, it's around 10:00, so Christina shouldn't be asleep yet. Once we reach outside Christina's door, I kiss Tris' hand and give it a squeeze then rap on Christina's door three times.
"What?" Christina groans and opens the door. She sees me and gives me a questioning look. "Hey, Four. What's-" Christina starts, but then she sees Tris.
"Oh my God. Tris!" Christina shouts and wraps her arms around Tris and squeals. Tris lets go of my hand and hugs Christina back, looking into my eyes and smiling. I just can't help but grin back.
"Wait," Christina starts and releases Tris. "Tell me you aren't some zombie or some ghost," she continues jokingly and tilts her head. Tris gives a small chuckle and wraps my arm around her. "I can assure you that I'm not a zombie or a ghost. I am very much alive," Tris says.
Christina looks at me and her forehead crinkles questioningly. "How are you alive, Tris? And why haven't you come here earlier? You should have seen Tobias. Man, he was a...," Christina starts but I cut her off.
"Chris. Tris has been with me, and she's going to explain how she's alive to us later. We had to get you and Zeke and, well, we came here first," I say then mumble, "I don't know why," under my breath and Tris gives me a light shove and looks up at me, her arms wrapped around my torso.
"Christina, I have a few things to tell you first. First, Uriah, Marlene, and Will are still alive," Tris starts but Christina interrupts.
"Will?! Where is he at?!" she exclaims but Tris unwraps herself from me and lays a hand on Christina's shoulder.
"I can't tell you guys, but I'll show you. Will is waiting on the train for us, but we need to go get Zeke before we get on the train," Tris says. Christina nods and bounces on her feet. "Come on, let's go get Zeke!" she exclaims and grabs mine and Tris' arms. As we make our way to Zeke's apartment, Christina lets go and asks, "So, Tris, when did you get back?"
Tris shuts her eyes for a moment and says, "Around four. Tobias and I saw each other at around five-thirty."
Christina gapes at us and punches Tris' arm. "So, did you get over your seventh fear, Six?" Tris just blushes and looks at me for help.
