Chapter 24:

TOBIAS POV:

Tris and I walk away leaving Marcus unconscious on the floor. She leads me to our old apartment which I unlock. She walks in and sits on the couch hands folding over her stomach.

I stand next to the door not wanting to do something she doesn't want me to and mess this all up again.

"You can sit down Tobias." She says her voice cracking on my name. I sit in the single chair by myself unsure if she would want me to sit with her.

I can see tears spill out of her eyes as I sit down. She places her head in her hands crying into them. I want so badly to hold her and tell her it's okay. But I can't, we're not together anymore. Instead I stand back up going to the paper towels, and getting one damp.

She let's go of her face and I hand her the wet paper towel and say, "It's for the cut on your head."

She nods placing it against the small cut with a steady blood flow. The towel soon turns red and I get her another. After a little while it stops bleeding.

We sit in silence until I break it, "What did you want to talk about?"

"I don't know, us." She says weakly.

I nod. Neither of us speaking again. After about ten minutes I give up on waiting for her to say something.

"Tris, I'm really sorry for that night I didn't mean anything I said. I love you so much. I really do care about this baby and I want to go to every check up and hold your hair when you puke and everything. I was being stupid and was just nervous about being like Marcus. I'm so sorry. I hope you know that." I say in one big breath.

I can see her staring at my chest. I look down and there lies her engagement ring tied to a necklace.

"You kept it?" She asks in astonishment.

"Ya it just made me feel like a part of you was still here. You took everything even your pillow, so I had nothing else." I say honestly.

"Oh." Is all she says smiling slightly.

"Ya." I mutter, taking the ring of of the necklace and holding it in my hand, feeling it.

"Tobias..." She struggles for the next words, "d-did you almost try and....kill yourself?"

"Ohh," I say looking down. "I didn't know why you where down there in the first place. I assume Zeke was the one who told you?"

"No. I have been living at Zeke's." She say.

She has moved on. And to my best friend. How could they do this to me?! If anyone I would think she would go for Uriah after me. It would be easier to kick his ass. But Zeke is stronger. And I thought Zeke was dating Shauna.

"Oh I didn't know." I say quietly, trying not to show my anger and sadness.

"Ya it was nice of him to take me in. Chris said I should stay there to hide away..." She says trailing off at the end.

"From me ya I get it. It's better then what I thought you meant." I mumble the last part.

Clearly she heard because she asks, "and what was that?"

"I might if thought you had started dating him...just for a second though." I respond. She burst out laughing. Slowly stopping when she see's my face.

"I'm sorry. I thinks that's funny. If anything I would go for Uri next...if I still haven't gotten over you." She says. "Plus both Uri and Zeke have girlfriends. Marlene and Shauna! No I would never date them I promise."

I let her finish her little ranting session. I smile slightly at the part when she said she would never and that she still haven't gotten over me. So I go bold and say, "Ya i was starting to think you are going for older men."

She laughs again. "Ya the astounding two years different is huge isn't it."

I smile. "Yes it is."

She stops laughing and suddenly gets serious. "Tobias I miss you. I miss you so much. Marlene says the baby will die within the next month if I don't start to eat more. I don't eat because I miss you. I love you and want you. I want you to help me with this baby, and help me raise him or her. Please I know I made a big mistake. I know you could never be like Marcus and I'm sorry for saying that. Please take me back." She begs, which is very unlike her. She must really want me back.

"Tris I know. I miss you too and I want all those things. You have nothing to apologize for, I'm the one to apologize. I'm sorry for saying those things that night. I promise to never drink again. I want you back. I want this baby. So I know this is the second time and we are just getting out of a break, but would you do me the honor of marrying me?" I say shaking slightly. I'm now kneeing in front of her with the same ring out in one hand.

She smiles slightly, then a big smile spreads across her face. "Yes, for the second time." She says. I laugh and she stands up while I do laying her lips on mine, feeling like my whole world was turned back around.
