I'm sooooooo sorry. I have not posted in a long time. I could probably make up a million reasons why, but you probably won't care, more explanations at the end of the chapter. Thanks for reading. I don'town any of these characters, all rights go to Veronica Roth. :)
I feel hot air blowing against my neck, so I open my eyes and turn to see Tobias sleeping peacefully next to me. His arms are wrapped around my waist, pulling me close. His warm embrace should calm me, but my pounding headache from last night is still present, making me just want air.
I push Tobias's strong arms off of me, careful not to wake him, and head into the living room. I open some ceiling to floor curtains, which to my surprise reveal a huge beautiful balcony. He's afraid of heights, which is probably why he keeps it covered it up. I open the door, and step out, letting the cool air swirl around me. I can already feel my headache decreasing.
"The view out here is amazing," I whisper to myself, as I look far out into the city. Where the happy memories were replaced by the terrible ones. In my head, I play through the events from last night. Everything was fine in till I saw, Mathew. And for the third time, the horrifying vision poured into my mind. I shut my eyes tightly, as I grasp onto the railing of the balcony, carefully caching my breath. Will I be able to get used to this new life of, comfort? I feel a drop of water hit my shoulder, then another one on my forehead, but I don't care. I let the rain fall on me, gradually growing harder. It doesn't take long before I'm completely soaked, my wet clothes sticking to my skin. I hear a soft knock behind me, and turn to see Tobias. His hair is ruffled, and the corners of his month are turned down, frowning at my shivering body.
"You'll catch a cold if you keep standing out there," he says with concern.
"I'll be fine," I sigh, before turning back to face the city. Without my permission Tobias just scoops me up in his arms and runs out of the rain.
"I thought I would save you, he says into my hair. Not feeling like saying any words, I just smile and bury my head in his shoulder, my soaked hair leaving wet spots on his shirt. Tobias walks over to the couch, sitting down, leaving me on his lap. Not wanting the moment to go away, I try to go as long as possible not saying anything.
Tobias sighs, "Okay, I know it's going to take some time getting used to this new situation, but I have something that might help your transition."
"And what might that be?" I question.
"There is a military training program coming up for some of the smartest strategists in the country, and I get to pick from the top students, who will become one of the next leaders. Would you be interested?"
"What will this program be like?" I ask.
"A lot like the dauntless initiates training program. In fact it will even take place at the old dauntless building, one of the new military training buildings."
"I will have to think about this."
"It would be a peace of dauntless cake, you already know the things there teaching. Your going to be the best one for sure!"
"This all just feels so sudden," I say starting to feel frustrated.
"It starts next week, so you'll have plenty of time to think about it. I can even ask Christina to do the course with you, she's been meaning to do it anyway. I might even volunteer to teach part of the course, it will be just like old times." Tobias reassures me. Am I ready for this, or do I finally just want peace and quiet this life has finally given me?
So I've been suffering from a serious and REAL disease, it's called writers block (and laziness). DUN DUN DUN! I've also been debating if I want to continue the story, cause I got a lot going on right now. The answer is YES! So after Insurgent came out, and I saw it, the inspiration just hit me in the head. The first book is my favorite, so I wanted to go back to the awesomeness of that book. The next chapter will be a lot longer, and I WILL post in the next few days. I 3 you all, for being such wonderful readers! Thanks. ;)
