*Tris POV
I wake up suddenly and sprint into the bathroom. I don't even turn the light on I just go straight or the toilet. As the bile exits my mouth, the light flickers on and I can feel a hand on my back. Tobias. One of his hands gently runs up and down my spine while the other holds back my long blond hair.
When the hell is over for the most part, I flush the toilet and sit down on it with my head in my hands. Tobias disappears out of the bathroom but comes back moments later with a glass of water and two white pills in hand. I smile graciously and take them from his hand. He kneels down in front of me and takes my hands in his then smiles at me. "What time is it?" I ask weakly.
"Almost 5:30," he stands and pulls me up with him into a hug, "come on, let's get you back to bed." His arm goes around my shoulder and mine goes around his waist.
We walk back into our bedroom and I crawl back under the covers and curl up next to Tobias and fall asleep again. I dream of Tobias and me together.
When I wake, Tobias still has his arms wrapped around me. I look at clock on my nightstand; it reads 8:30 a.m. I kind want to get up, but I don't want to leave Tobias' grip. I look up at him and see his blue eyes fixated on me. "Morning beautiful," he says quietly.
I smile, "Morning."
"Do you want to go get some breakfast?" I nod and get out of bed.
I get in the shower really quickly just so I can wash the smell of puke off of me. When I get out I put on some sweatpants and a tank top. I don't even bother with make up or doing something with my hair. Tobias is waiting at the front door when I walk out of the bathroom. He takes my hand and we walk down to the cafeteria silently. When we get there and he opens the door, the sound hits me and makes me hard throb. I ignore it as best I can and walk over to our table with Tobias.
I sit down next to Christina while Tobias gets us some food. "Okay don't take this the wrong way Tris, but you look like shit," Christina points out.
"Yeah? Well I feel like shit," I say placing my elbows on the he table and my head in my hands.
"TRIS!" Uriah yells as he approaches the table just as Tobias sits down with our food. I look at Uriah like I am going to rip his face off. "Man were you drunk last night! Do you feel okay?" Like he cares I think.
"Umm Uri, I wouldn't," Christina says.
"Why?" He asks carelessly.
"Because I will rip your face off!" I shout. Everybody looks at me, but I just glare at Uriah.
"Damn. Christina you were right, Tris with a hangover is a bitch." Uriah says. I turn my head and glare and her now.
"You said what?!" I yell at Christina.
She points across the table at Tobias, "Four said it first!"
I turn my head again looking at Four. He smiles weakly. "You are so lucky that I love you or else I would kill you right now!"
"Hey I only said it to get a point across to Peter and Uriah."
"And why did you have to get a point across to them?" I ask lowering my voice.
"You were there don't you remember?"
"No. I blacked out right before I dared Will to do something. Oh God! What did I do last night?" I ask knowing I probably did something embarrassing or stupid.
"Wait, you don't remember anything that happened after finishing that bottle of vodka?" Uriah says laughing with everybody else.
"This isn't funny guys! What happened?" I am really scared now.
"Well for starters, you tried to fight Peter." Tobias says.
"Oh! And you dared me to run into the pit wearing his boxers and yell, and I quote, ' I'm a pretty fluffy unicorn that lives on clouds and eats rainbows.' After that happened, at least four people asked me if I was on the peace serum,"
Will says.
"Okay that's actually pretty funny. I did anybody help me with that?" I ask and everyone shakes their heads. I laugh, "okay two things that I did. Anything else important I'm missing?
"Oh I totally forgot! Four beat Eric to a pulp." Zeke says, "that was pretty freaking awesome bro!"
"What?! I missed that? Of all things that could have happened while I was drunk off my ass, and I had to miss my boyfriend beat up a leader? What the hell!" I say really disappointed.
"Yeah, it sucks, but other than that, nothing really happened. You just kept falling asleep in really weird places." Christina says
"Like where?" I ask.
"On Zeke's counter, not the stairs, in the middle of the hall way. We would be walking, and then you would just lie down and go to sleep. It was actually pretty funny." Christina starts laughing a little bit while she is saying this.
"Then I pick you up and carry you, then you wake up and I'd put you down and you would just do the same thing." Says Tobias.
We all continue eating and talking about what Four did to Eric. I finish eating before everyone else and butt into the conversation, "Wait, do you guys really think I'm a bitch when I have a hangover?" They all pitch their fingers together which tells me yes.
When Tobias finishes eating and we go back home. I sit on the couch with my sketch pad drawing up ideas for tattoos I would like to get. "What you drawing?" Tobias asks picking up my legs and sits down with them on his lap.
"It's a surprise," I tell him.
"Come on. Please." He gives me puppy dog eyes.
"Okay fine," I turn the paper toward hi showing him the infinity symbol with '6 + 4' written in one of the curves. "I want it as a tattoo right here." I point to a spot on my wrist and Tobias smiles.
"Let's do it. I'll get one too."
"Later," I say, "when I'm working so I can give it to you. Okay?"
"Deal," he says, then leans forward and kisses me.
*PAGE BREAK*
I wake up to my alarm going off. I turn it off and look at the clock. It's 7:15 a.m. on Monday morning. I roll over and look at Tobias. He is still sound asleep. I get up, shower, and get dressed for the day. I walk back into the bedroom and Tobias is sitting on the bed putting his shoes on."Morning," he says then kisses my cheek and walks around me into the kitchen.
"Good morning." I say returning the kiss. He tosses me a chocolate chip muffin. My favorite.
I look at the clock on the stove and it reads 7:56. "Crap," I mutter to myself, but apparently Tobias heard me.
"What?" he asks.
"I got to go or I'm gonna be late for work." I kiss his cheek then grab my keys and muffin and leave.
I get to the tattoo parlor right at 8:00 and Tori is there unlocking the door. "Hey Tori," I say.
"Hey Tris." she says walking into the parlor. "So I've been meaning to ask you, when does training start?"
"About a month. Is that going to be enough time to find a replacement?"
"Yeah," she says, "that should be enough time."
"Okay good." I sit in my tattoo chair and eat my muffin. When I am done I walk to the front desk and look to see when my first customer is coming in. When I open the appointment book someone walks in. I look up and see that it is one of our regulars.
"Hey Matt. What can I do for you today?" I ask leading him to my tattoo station.
"I got somethin' special for you today Tris." He says in a deep manly voice and hands me a piece of folded paper. I open it and see a very detailed dragon on the paper.
"Hey Matt, this is really cool. Where did you want it?" I say.
He takes his jacket off and points to his arm. "You want the whole arm done?" I ask and he nods. "Okay, we could probably do that. Umm hold on. Hey Tori and you come here a sec?" I yell and Tori comes walking out of the back room.
"What's up Tris?" she asks, "Hey Matt nice to see you again."
"Hey Tori. Nice to see you too." Matt says waving.
"So what do ya need Tris?"
"Matt wants this covering his whole arm, but I won't be able to do it all in one session." I hand Tori the paper and she studies it for a minute.
"Well, we have two options. Either Matt makes the scale smaller, or you do as much of it as you can and he can come back later to get it finished. When is your next client?" She asks giving the paper back to me.
"In about two hours." I say.
"Well it's up to you Matt on what you want to do, I mean it's your points you're spending." Tori says.
"I could come in next week to get it finished. Does that work with your schedule Tris?" Matt and Tori are both looking at me.
"Yeah," I pick up the appointment book and look to see if there is an open spot. "If you want me to I will do half of it today then you can come in next Wednesday for me to finish it. Does that sound good?" Matt nods. "Great! Let's get started then."
Tori goes back to her office and I get the ink ready for the tattoo.
*PAGE BREAK*
It is 9:30 when I get half of Matt's dragon tattoo done. I put the medicine and bandage on it then go to the register so he can pay. When Matt leaves I have about half an hour until my next client so I sit on my tattoo chair and doze off.
I wake up and Tobias is standing next to me smiling. "Wakey wakey Tris." he says.
"Why are you here?" I ask him.
"For my tattoo. What else? You told me to come in at 10."
"Oh my God. I totally forgot. I'm sorry."
"Its fine," I get off the chair and let Tobias sit.
He slides his jacket off and sits in the chair. I get the ink and needle and sit in the chair next to him. "You ready for this?"
"Always," he says and smiles. I draw the infinity symbol on his wrist with the '4+6' in one of the curves. When I am finished I put the medicine and bandage on his wrist and we both stand. "When are you gonna get yours?" he asks.
"Whenever I get a break." I tell him.
He kisses me. "I got to go back work. See you later. I Love you."
I kiss him back. "Bye. Love you too."
I have about six more customers for the rest of the day. All their tattoos are pretty generic. The only ones that didn't come the book of tattoos that we have were Matt's and Tobias'. I finish my last tattoo at around 5:30 and go home to see if Tobias is there yet.
When I get there, I unlock the door and there is a note on the little table next to the door.
Hey Babe. Didn't know when you would be home so went down to get dinner. Come down when you see this. Love you! 3
-T/4 XOXOXO
I walk back out the door locking it behind me and go down to the cafeteria. When I get there I go sit at our table next to Tobias and all my others friends.
