Chapter 9

After dinner Tobias and I go to my apartment and start to pack everything up. We start with my clothes and within two hours the place is all packed up. We decide to move all the boxes tomorrow and just go home.

Tobias unlocks the door and I don't even look at where I am going. I am so tired that I just walk into the bedroom take off my shoes and climb into bed. I can feel Tobias pulling me closer to his body. I rest my head on his chest and drift into a deep sleep.

I wake up, Tobias still holding in his arms. I look over to my night stand to see what time it is. 8:37 a.m. glows in big, bright blue colors. I slowly wiggle out of Tobias' arms and walk into the bathroom.

*Tobias POV

I hear the shower turn on and when I open my eyes, Tris isn't next to me. I get up and get dressed in a black shirt and pants, then go sit in the living room until Tris gets out of the shower.

She comes out of the bathroom about twenty minutes later looking beautiful as ever. "You wanna go get some breakfast?" She asks me.

"Yeah sure," I say taking her hand and walking out the door.

We walk to the dining hall and zit at our normal table. I go get Tris and I some food and when I get back Christina, Will, and Uriah are there. I decide not to sit next to her for some reason, so I sit next to Uriah.

"Uh Four are you feeling okay?" Christina asks.

"I'm fine. Why?"

"You're not sitting next to Tris. Ergo something must either wrong with you, or you two are having problems."

"Christina why would we be going through any problems when we decided to actually move in together?" Tris says. I can tell she regrets it immediately because her face reddens.

"WHAT!" Christina practically screams, "when were you going to tell me about this?!"

"Hopefully never," I mumble, but I know that it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I'm serious Four."

"I know, but Christina, you need to learn to keep your big candor mouth shut." I almost spit out, but was rough enough for her to get mad at me and storm off.

"Would it be bad to say thank you?" Uriah asks.

Tris just glare at me. "What," I say.

"Did you have to be so mean?"

"I'm sorry I wanted to keep one moment between me and my girlfriend to myself, besides, it wasn't like she was crying or anything, she was just mad," I say as nicely as possible, because I don't want Tris mad at me too.

"I know why you did it, but you don't have to be so rude."

"Mom, Dad, can we not fight at the table?" Uriah says.

"Shut up Uriah," Tris and I say in unison.

After a few minutes everybody calms down and stops fighting. I finish my breakfast and decide to go into the control room. "I'm going to work bye," I say and kiss Tris' cheek then leave.

*Tris POV

Tobias goes to work and I go to my old apartment and take the boxes to Tobias' and now my apartment. It takes about half an hour to transport all the boxes, but I did get Will to help me about half way through.

When we are all done he sits on the couch with a big 'huff' and go into the kitchen to get us a couple beers.

"Thanks again for helping me," I say handing him the bottle of beer.

"No problem. That's what friends do right?"

"Is Christina still mad?" I ask changing the subject.

"Not sure. Haven't talked to her since she stormed out of the cafeteria, but I'm sure she is better by now. Hey do you know what time is?"

"11:00 why," I ask taking another sip of my beer.

"Oh, I got to go, Christina and I supposed to do something," he says as he puts the bottle on the coffee table and rushes out the door.

"Bye," I say just after he leaves as if trying to get him to say it to me.

I go into my bedroom and unpack my clothes. I then notice that I have about three times as many clothes as Tobias, and I didn't wear half of them. I put the ones I didn't wear in a box and decide to take them to Christina later to see if she wanted them. Not like she needed them.

Once I'm done unpacking all my stuff, I lie on the bed and drift to sleep. Thinking about what Tobias is doing right now and how much I love him.

*PAGE BREAK*

I wake up screaming and Tobias runs into the room.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

I just pull my knees to my chest and start crying. "Hey, hey," he says in a soothing voice as he sits on the bed and pulls me into His lap, "it's okay. I was only a dream. Do you want to talk about it?"

I shake my head and continue crying as Tobias holds me and rocks ever so slightly.

"Hey, look at me," he pulls my face up with his hand, "it's going to be okay. I promise."

"You promise?" I sound like a child.

"Yes, you just tell me when you want to talk about it okay?"

"Okay." Tobias continues to hold me until I fall asleep again, and when I wake up again, I am still in his arms.

"No nightmares?" I shake my head and he smiles, "do you want to talk about it now?" He asks softly.

I sit up, "I was about you. We were here and we were just sitting on the couch laughing and talking when a guy bursts into the room with a gun in his hand. You stood up off the couch blocking me from him so I wouldn't get shot. The guy told you to move, but you wouldn't because you couldn't allow me to get hurt, then that's when he shot you and ran out of the room. I watched you bleed out on the floor and tried screaming for help, but nobody would come. You died in my arms and there was nothing I could do about it." I begin crying again and move closer to Tobias.

"Shhh, it's okay. Hey look at me," I look, "I promise you. I am never going to leave you. EVER."

"I'm going to hold you to that okay."

"Okay. Do you want to go get some dinner? It's almost 7:30."

"I'm not that hungry, but if you are we can go."

"Good because I haven't eaten anything since breakfast."

"Why not?"

"I came by just before, and that's when you woke up screaming, and after you fell asleep again I didn't want to leave you in case it happened again."

"You are truly the best boyfriend ever." I say kissing his cheek.

I get up and put my shoes back on and Tobias and I walk down to dinner hand in hand. When we get there I see Christina and Uriah sitting there eating. "Be nice." I say to Tobias.

"I will if she doesn't get nosey."

"Tobias."

"Fine! I'll be nice."

We walk over and sit down. "Why are you guys so late?" Uriah asks.

"I was asleep." I say.

"Oh, well you just missed everyone else. They left about ten minutes ago."

"It's okay. The only reason we came down here was one, I'm hungry, and two, I as bored." Tobias says stuffing a cheeseburger in his mouth.

"Hey Tris, are you okay? Your eyes look a little red," Christina says.

"I'll tell you later." I reply.

"Okay, so, what are you guys going to bring to Zeke's party?"

"The party," Tobias says.

"No, I mean what booze."

"Oh, tequila, beer, I don't know."

Tobias finishes eating and we go back home. We watch TV for a little then go to bed.
