Sorry for not updating in a while. I cringed when I looked at the last day I updated. School has been very hectic and I haven't been very inspired lately. Please tell me anything you'd like to see in the next update. Maybe I'll update today with a short chapter. But it will be by Friday. Hopefully. I've been active on my Instagram thefirststiff but I have been writing this for about a week and I finally finished it. I feel like crap today and tomorrow I'll be out of town so I might not update. Don't worry though. I got ideas for the next update. Please review!
"Are you okay?!" I ask panicked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she says although she's breathing heavily
"I was just scared for a moment" she continues
"I wouldn't let you die Tris"
"Sometimes I wonder why you like me so much. I'm nothing special. Just another girl."
"Tris, I have seen so many girls that were prettier than you, but they weren't. You stand out to me. You're so brave, and have the most amazing eyes. I love you Tris. You're not obligated to say it back if you aren't in love with me, but I think that you should know my feelings seeing as we've known each other for years." I finish.
"I like you Tobias. I am not in love with you yet though. But I love you as a friend." She says.
"I know I said it was too soon a few days ago, but honestly I couldn't wait any longer."
Tris's phone starts ringing like crazy, its Uriah, just give me a second." She says
The only thing I hear is 'SHE'S DEAD?!' from Tris.
She cons back with tears evident in her eyes.
"Marlene's dead. She was in a car accident." She says
I lean over and hug her.
I start whispering random soothing things in her ear trying to calm her down.
"Do you think it was that guy that almost hit us?" I ask
"You mean Caleb? He probably wants to hurt all of my friends. I'm scared Tobias" she says crying
"You're okay Tris. He's not going to hurt you" I say soothingly
"But what about you? He could kill you. You're my best friend."
"I'll be fine Tris. He's not going to hurt me." We sit in silence not talking.
"Can you bring me home?" She asks
"Yeah, it's getting pretty late" I start the car and pull out if the lot we were in.
When we get to her house I walk her up to her door.
"Goodnight Tris." I say
"Can you stay with me tonight? I'm scared he'll come for me." She says fear in her eyes
"Okay." We both walk in
"I'll sleep on the couch" I say
"No, you're sleeping wherever I'm sleeping so you can keep me safe." She says
We sit down on the couch all cuddled up watching tv, and sooner or later its midnight
"I say we call it a night. Goodnight Tris" I say kissing her forehead
I hear Tris's steady breathing and soon fall asleep myself.
When I wake up Tris is still sleeping cuddled up against my chest, I honestly want to wake up to her every morning.
I snap out of my thoughts when she starts to move.
"Morning" she says looking up at me
"Morning." I reply
"Do you have to do anything today?" I ask
"No." She says looks at me like she's trying to read my mind
"Well, then you're going to the gym with me" I say
"Nooo, please Tobias. I don't want to do anything productive" she whines
"How about we go shopping then?" I suggest
"Okay, that's better than the gym." She says.
"I need new clothes anyways" I chuckle
"Yeah, you need other things beside jeans and black T-shirts." She laughs
"Hey, I have other things" I state
"Yeah, like what? Gym shorts?" She says eyeing me
"Maybe." I mumble under my breath.
"You're such a dork" she slaps my arm playfully
"And you're a blonde" I state
"I'm a brunette you blind idiot" she says walking out and getting in my car
God, do I love her.
I'm gonna see if she'll be my girlfriend again.
"It's a good thing were going out today because tomorrow's thanksgiving and then there's Black Friday" I say getting into the car
"Crap." She says
"What's wrong?" I ask
"I usually have to go to my parents' house for Thanksgiving because they 'have to see me on holidays'" she says using are quotes.
"I could go with you if you want" I say
"You don't have to, they'll probably just be asking why you're friends with me if you do." She says looking at me
"I don't care Tris. I don't want you to go there alone. You're my best friend." I say
"Fine. You can come."
"I have to ask you something first though Tris"
"What?"
"Will you be my beautiful girlfriend again?" I ask pulling up to the mall
"It depends"
"On what?"
"Do you promise not to cheat on me?"
"I promise."
"Do you promise not to pressure me into anything I'm not ready for?"
"I promise"
"Do you promise that you won't hurt me?"
"Yes Tris. I'd die for you. I made a mistake. Now will you please answer me?" I ask getting impatient
"Yes Tobias. I'll be you're girlfriend" she say reaching over and hugging me
When she touches me its like I'm on fire. She ignites me.
We pull apart and walk into the mall together. I don't grab her hand because I'm not sure if she'd want me to, but my question is answered when I feel her warm hand fit perfectly into mine like a puzzle piece.
I am determined not to screw this up.
I am pulled from my thoughts when she pulls me into the first store.
Aeropostale.
She walks us over to the men's and starts handing me clothes.
"So I don't get a say in any of these clothes?" I ask jokingly
"Get whatever from that you want. I'm just showing you stuff I like." She says looking at me. When she's done and I put almost all of that back she heads to the women's.
She scans through a rack of shirts and picks out 2. Then grabs three pairs of jeans. She sees something and heads over to it so I follow. It's a maroon lace dress with half sleeves.
She grabs it in her size then grabs a sweatshirt.
We head over to the register and I pay end up paying for her stuff after arguing.
We go to a few more stores so she can get clothes for tomorrow.
When we head outside to leave I realize its pouring out so I cover Tris in my jacket to keep her dry.
We dash out to my car and I throw the bags in the back then get in.
"That was fun"Tris says laughing
"Do you want to go home or stay at my house tonight. I could sleep on the couch." I offer
"I guess I could go to your house because I got clothes for tomorrow and I bought a curling iron and makeup while we were in there." She says
"Okay" I say and we head to my house.
When we get there I tell tris to go inside and I'll grab all the bags.
Once I grab all the bags I go inside and put them down.
THANKSGIVING DAY (sorry if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving)
When I wake up I notice that there has to be food cooking.
I walk out to his kitchen and see Tobias slaving over the hot stove making chocolate chip pankakes (don't ask why but I spell it like that.)
"Morning" I say walking over towards him and hopping on the counter
"Morning sleepy head, what time do we have to go to your parents" he asks
"Around 12 we can leave." I say and he turns off the stove and hands me a plate of pankakes
"Thanks" I say hopping off and heading to the table.
We eat in silence together till I decide to tell him that I'm gonna take a shower.
"Okay" he says grabbing our plates and starting to wash them in the sink.
I head over to my bags and grab some clean underwear, a bra, some spandex, my dress, and makeup. Then go into the bathroom and start to shower. I do my normal shower routine but skip shaving because Christina made me get my legs waxed with her. NEVER AGAIN.
When I get out I get changed into my dress and do my makeup.
Natural smokey eye.
Small winged eyeliner.
Mascara.
Nude lipstick.
I walk out if the bathroom with my hair up in a towel.
"How did you shower so quick?" Tobias asks
"I'm magical" I say
