A/N- HI! THANK YOU ALL SOO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEWS. I HAD A FEW SAY THAT IT WAS CONFUSING SO I'M GONNA TRY AND CLEAR THINGS UP…
TRIS DIED AT THE END OF ALLIGENT.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GOVERNMENT FAKED HER DEATH SO THAT THEY COULD USE HER TO SORT SOME STUFF OUT HIGH UP IN THE GOVERNMENT.
TRIS WAS UNDERCOVER FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
HER PARTNER WAS JACK AND THEY PRETENDED TO BE A COUPLE.
THEN SHE COMES BACK FOR A REASON I CAN'T TELL YOU YET.
THEN JACK FINDS HER FOR ANOTHER REASON THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU YET. (SORRY)
WE ARE NOW BACK TO WHERE THE STORY IS NOW.
I HOPE THAT MAKES THINGS A LITTLE CLEARER… SORRY IF IT DOESN'T…
ANYWAY HERE IS CHAPTER 8!
Jack's POV
Oh! Thank God! I had found her! I had been looking for over a week and had come up with nothing until I actually decided to get into her head. Then it took me all of 1 hour to figure out where she had gone. She smiled at me as she opened her eyes.
"Jack." She whispered. I breathed a sigh of relief. I took in her healthy face and the strong sound of her voice even when she was half asleep. The sound of her voice saying my name was enough to make my heart leap with joy.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she came to her senses. I saw her eyes flash over my shoulder and she tugged her hand free of mine. I didn't know what she was looking at that would make her react this way so I turned around, to see the man who had opened the door. He was staring daggers at me and even in the dark which made it so I couldn't see his expression clearly I knew she was seemed angry. As he took step towards us it was easy to tell I was right and he wasn't happy.
"Tobias," Tris said trying to keep her voice calm. She got up off the sofa and walked towards him cautiously. "This is," she paused and turned to me for a moment. "Jack. We worked together." I cleared my throat,
"Work." I corrected her quietly and she gave me a look that could kill. I was not helping the situation obviously. "sorry." I mumbled so that only she could hear me.
"I see." said the man bitterly.
"Jack, this is Tobias. My," she took his hand and he pulled it away gently,
"Friend." Tobias finished for her. I wasn't quite sure what else to say. The silence was awkward and heavy. I ran my fingers through my hair, it was what I did when I was stressed or confused and out of the corner of my eye I saw Tris wipe her palms on an old hoodie. I recognised that old habit.
Tris's POV
My palms were sweating and my heart was beating so fast and so loud that I could have sworn the whole room could hear it. What was Jack doing here? How had he found me? I could feel a lump rising in my throat. It was getting harder and harder to swallow. How would Tobias ever believe me now?
"I think I'll leave you two to talk." Tobias's voice was full accusation and I knew what he was thinking. He was wrong. Jack and I were the ones who were just friends. I didn't feel the anything for him and nothing other than love for Tobias; I couldn't imagine him hating me for something that wasn't real.
"No." I said firmly before he had a chance to leave the room. The last thing I wanted was to be left alone in a room with Jack right now. "Jack can we help you with anything?" Jack shook his head.
"No, I just came to find you Tris. You left and-" oh great, here he was giving the impression that he needed me; which he did, but not for the reasons that I needed Tobias. Not a reason that I was meant to share.
"You left?" Tobias said and I was a little taken aback. I hadn't expected him to say anything, let alone without shouting.
"Well, yes. Obviously sense I'm here with you." I let out sigh not knowing myself how this was going to work out. Tobias seemed to think over what I had said even though it wasn't very complicated.
"Tris, I really do need to talk to you." Jack cut in just as Tobias was about to speak, his expression was serious, but now wasn't the right time to talk about the past.
"Please, Jack I think you should leave for now. Maybe we could talk tomorrow, when I'm not so tired." I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. I pleaded with my eyes as Jack went to object and he quickly closed his mouth.
"Fine, I come back tomorrow." but he didn't move, no one did.
"Okay," he finally started to turn away. Suddenly my muscles relaxed and I was able to move. I led Jack back over to the door. When he was gone I turned around so I could look at Tobias. My stomach was in a knot as I saw his pained expression.
"Tobias I-"
"Don't." I stopped talking and shut my mouth trying not to cry.
Tobias's POV
I didn't know what to think any more. All she seemed to do was lie and keep secrets not just from me, but from everyone. I couldn't decide whether this was a lie or just a secret kept to protect her and until I knew I was I going to stay calm.
"Tris?"
"Yeah?" her voice was weak and I couldn't bear it.
"What do you want?" I didn't ask it angry or said, I just asked. I had to know. She didn't hesitate she didn't tremble. She responded strong and sure, leaving behind the girl. No doubt in her voice and it made me smile despite how I was feeling.
"You." I didn't respond at first. I was just drinking in her small build, and beautiful eyes.
"Then come here." and she did and I kissed her and she smiled and I was complete for a moment.
