A/N- I'm so so so sorry for not updating in over a month.

I've been really stressed and not motivated lately, so I haven't been able to get anything decent written no matter how hard I try. I'm so sorry.

You all have complete permission to message me every day yelling at me if I don't update. I know I deserve it.

This chapter has some Harry Potter spoilers in it so if you haven't read/watched them yet (get help) and you are planning on doing it soon, I'll put that part in italics.

Anyways I hope you had a good holiday and enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer- I own nothing

Tobias' Point of View:

"Tobias?" I hear my name whispered. "Tobias, wake up." The voice whispers again, slightly louder this time.

I slowly open my eyes to see Tris' beautiful face. "Hey." I say to her as I stretch to wake myself up.

"Have you been asleep since I left this morning?" She asks with a laugh.

I shrug. "Maybe. How was school? Did you miss not having me annoying the hell out of you all day?" I say with a sarcastic grin on my face.

"Of course. It was so dreadful without you constantly bothering me." She rolls her eyes and laughs. "Our friends are really starting to wonder where you've been. They won't stop asking me about it. Do you think you'll be able to go back soon?"

"I dunno. Maybe?" I say as more of a question than a statement. "I'm feeling a lot better than I was, but still not the best."

"Yeah, you're looking better." Tris nods in agreement. "I can always get one of my dads to call the school and get you out of gym."

I smile at Tris and lean over to kiss her softly. "What would I do without you, Tris?"

Tris doesn't reply, instead just pulling me closer to her and kissing me back. She wraps her arms around my neck, and I wrap mine around her waist. Our lips move together so perfectly, just like they were made to fit together like this. The feeling of her next to me couldn't be any more incredible.

She makes me feel like I'm in that other reality I've always dreamed about. The peaceful one with the beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day and no Marcus and just a peaceful place with cute puppies and no one to judge or hurt me for who I really am. That place used to only be in the very few dreams I have that aren't nightmares. Now, thanks to Tris, she makes me feel like I'm there all of the time and it makes me so happy having her and feeling like there's no need for me to ever worry again.

Too soon, Tris pulls away from me. I smile at her and pull her into my arms, pressing my lips to her cheek.

We lay back on the couch and cuddle together. We stay in silence for a few minutes until Tris breaks it with the most random comment ever.

"What do you think Severus would've done if Lily survived and Harry and James died when Voldemort tried to kill him? Do you think he would've gone over to the Order to help Lily or stay with Voldemort because he spared Lily?"

"Umm, I dunno. Maybe he would've just done what he did in the books and stay undercover for the order but still be a Death Eater." I suggest.

Tris considers my guess for a moment before replying. "Maybe. What about Sirius? Would Lily have been able to keep him out of Azkaban? Like do you think she would've found a way to stop Wormtail?"

We spend the next half hour coming up with new theories of what would've happened if certain events didn't happen in some books. By the time Johnnie and Kyle call us letting us know that it's time for dinner, we have so many new theories that we could write many completely different full length fanfictions about the books by only changing a few small things.

"Do you think you're up to walking downstairs?" Tris asks me.

I haven't walked much since Marcus attacked me. I've gone to the bathroom that is right outside of the spare room that I've been staying in, and a little around the room with Tris' help, trying to get strong enough to function like a normal human again.

I nod. "I'll try."

With Tris' help, I stand up and she guides me through the hall slowly. She helps me down the stairs and it's surprisingly a lot easier and less painful than I thought it would be.

Kyle and Johnnie seem to be kind of shocked to see me moving but they seemed happy that I am.

Tris helps me into one of the chairs around the table and Kyle brings over a pan of homemade mac and cheese. I swear they have an obsession with it and pizza in this house.

We eat while laughing with each other. It's basically the life I've always wished I had growing up.

After dinner, Tris and I go back upstairs and lay down on the bed. She curls up into my side and we fall asleep that way.


A week or so later, I'm finally healed enough to be able to walk around by myself and I decide that I'm okay enough to go back to go back to school.

I'm kind of nervous that something is going to happen or I'm going to have to tell everyone about why I missed a few weeks of school, but Tris keeps assuring me that I'll be okay.

I don't know what I would do without her.

"Come on, Tobias." Tris calls, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I stand up and walk over to her and wrap my arms around her in a tight hug.

She briefly returns the hug before pulling me out the door. "We're going to be late." She laughs.

I climb in the passenger side while Tris goes to the driver side.

"I'll ask Uriah or Zeke if we can talk to Dan about finding us a lawyer. He quit university, but he still will be able to help us get someone good to help you." Tris tells me as she pulls out of the driveway.

"Thanks so much, Tris. You're amazing. You know that, right?"

She laughs. "I'm really not, but I appreciate you trying to be nice."

I lean over and kiss her cheek. "Yes you are."

Tris just shakes her head and turns the radio on. We spend the last few minutes in the ride to the school badly singing along to the Taylor Swift song that is playing.

Way too soon, we arrive at the school. I take a shaky breath

I get out of the car and look at the school and watch all of the students who are entering it.

Taking a deep breath, I silently pray that this day goes well.

A/N- happy (almost) New Years. I hope 2016 is great to you.

I know this probably sounds so cheesy, but for my New Years resolution (which always fail) is to write more. Even if it's just 2 or 3 chapters a week, it's better than 1 chapter a month.

All of you should make it a resolution to message me every day telling me to write. I need someone to actually force me to.

Sorry this is kind of short. I hope it wasn't too crappy.

Thanks for reading. Bye.
