Chapter 19: The Note

TOBIAS POV:

I still can't believe that she really left me. I haven't heard from Tris in a whole month and I've sunken into a state of depression without her. I've tried everything I could to find her, and I think I'm finally giving up.

I just can't do it anymore. The last thing she said to me was that I'm a monster. That I'm my father. I would rather die then be him, or like him in any way. But I am to Tris and that's the only person I want to convince I'm not.

She will never talk to me ever again. I haven't talked to anyone in a whole month and only eat a few times a week. I never leave my apartment. I can't take it anymore. I want to die. I want to jump into the chasm.

I think I will. I will jump. What else do I have to live for. Christina said I will never talk to nor see her or the kid ever again. Might as well, I'm a coward already. So I grab a paper and pencil. I write:

Dear Zeke,
Please let Tris know I'm so sorry for everything I did, including this. Give her all of my life savings please. Tell her I never stopped loving her. I would never hurt her and I'm sorry for leaving. I never wanted to. Give everything I own to her she deserves it.
Love, Tobias

I grab the note folding it and run towards Zeke's. I slide it under his door. I sprint down the hallway as fast as I can, towards the chasm. When I get to the chasm I see someone. I can't believe it.

TRIS POV:

I finally get back from the appointment, after a long thirty minutes worth of lecturing. I walk in the door plopping down on the couch, Christina following. Zeke walks in from the bedroom.

"How was it?" He asks.

"Good I guess. We will find out the gender next month." I say. I try not to look into their eyes. They would see all the sadness. I never want them to see how badly this hurts. Every time I think about the baby I think about Tobias.

When I look around the room I decide to stare at the front door. I can faintly hear Zeke and Christina talking to each other in the background as I stare at the door. Then all the sudden a paper comes sliding under the door, and I can barley hear footsteps sprit away.

I get up and start towards the small piece of paper. Christina and Zeke have stopped talking now, watching what I do. I go up to the paper and bend down grabbing it. It reads:

Dear Zeke,
Please let Tris know I'm so sorry for everything I did, including this. Give her all of my life savings please. Tell her I never stopped loving her. I would never hurt her and I'm sorry for leaving. I never wanted to. Give everything I own to her she deserves it.
Love, Tobias

As soon as I finish reading it a million thoughts flood my mind making me unable to think clearly. I attempt to think straight again and focus. There will never be anyone more perfect for me than Tobias. I can't let him do this. I dart out the door without telling Zeke or Chris where I'm going. I run towards the pit when I see Tobias and Marcus by the chasm.
