Chapter 4 – TENSION
TOBIAS P.O.V
I have no idea where Tris is and I'm starting to get worried. Before I left for work this morning she was still in bed as she it was her day off so I told her to meet me in the pit at 6pm. That was two hours ago. I've considered going to look for her but decided against it in case she came when I wasn't here.
I'm on the verge of losing my nerve when I see Tris running towards me.
TRIS P.O.V
I run towards Tobias but slow down when I see his face. He looks livid.
"Where have you been?", he nearly shouts, "I've been waiting for two hours!"
"I'm sorry, I was ziplining with Zeke and Uriah and lost track of time." I explain
"You should've told me! I had no idea where you were, you could've been dead in the chasm for all I knew!"
"I didn't plan on going", I try to stay calm but he's really testing my patience, "Zeke and Uriah asked me to go so I went, I couldn't leave a note because I wasn't in the apartment." "Besides, I can do what I want; I don't need your permission."
"Oh I do apologise for caring." Tobias scoffs
"Maybe if you started treating me like an adult it wouldn't bother you so much when I go off on my own", I say, getting frustrated, "I can look after myself."
"Tris, remember I once found you being hung over the chasm by your neck so when you don't show for two hours, I'm going to worry."
"Yes but I wasn't hanging over the chasm"
"No, you were hanging round with Zeke and Uriah, the known jokers of dauntless, and didn't have the responsibility to tell your boyfriendthat you might be late."
"Ugh this is so petty! They're my friends, they can keep me safe as much as the next guy and I'm old enough to look out for myself Four." I retaliate
"You're just a girl, Tris!"
The comment stings, I turn away in disgust and run back to the apartment.
TOBIAS P.O.V
Tris storms off and I realise that this is our first argument.
I decide to go to the chasm. I like to sit in the place where I first kissed Tris and think. Because the place holds such a happy memory for me, it helps me to think and look at things in a different perspective.
I think about the argument me and Tris just had. I realise now that I may have overreacted; I know she can look after herself but I like looking after her. It feels good to have someone in your life that you would jump in front of a bullet for. I don't want to be the controlling boyfriend that demands to know where the girlfriend is 24/7 but I do want to keep Tris safe. If anything happened to her I'd never forgive myself.
After sitting at the chasm for what seems like hours I decide to go and talk to Tris.
When I get to our apartment I find Tris lying on our bed. I walk around to her side and see that she is asleep. Her eyes are red and puffy and her cheeks are tear stained. I sigh and walk back around to my side of the bed, sit down and lift her into my arms. She stirs slightly but doesn't wake so I brush the hair off her face and kiss her cheeks, nose and forehead. Her eyes flutter open and as soon as she sees me they start to flood with tears.
"Did you mean what you said?" she asks me
"Of course not. I was mad, I wasn't thinking straight. I'm sorry I said you were just a girl. You know I think you are so strong." I tell her
"I don't want you to be mad with me" She whispers, a stray tear drops down her cheek
I reach down and brush it off. "I know, and I'm not", I assure her, holding her tightly, "I just got so worried when you didn't turn up"
"You don't need to worry, I can look after myself"
I laugh a little, "I know you can, you're a Dauntless prodigy. But just know that if anything happened to you, I'd fall apart. That's why I overreacted. So it'd be great if you could let me be the annoying, over protective boyfriend every now and again."
"You're an idiot", she smiles, "but you're my idiot."
I laugh and sit her up so I can look her in the eye. I cradle her face in my hands. "I love you, so much."
She kisses my nose, "I love you too."
AN: I hope you liked that! The next update my take a while as I haven't even wrote it yet but I know what I want it to be about and it's pretty cute ;)
