Tris's POV
I woke up at 6 o'clock sharp being so uses to meeting Tobias before training starts. I get off my small bed and stretch my tired limbs making my night shirt rise a bit. I could see the wrap still around my ankle reminding me of my new tattoo. I took the wrap of carefully and slowly making her not to wake anyone up and look at my Farris wheel tattoo touching it lightly thinking about Tobias and myself. I sighed and got up decided to take a shower; I grabbed my black dauntless clothes and walked to the women's bathroom farthest away from the dorms forgetting that it was located across Tobias apartment.
Standing under the burning hot water was heaven I could feel my tense muscles relaxing while the water washed away my washed my problems and worries. I was so relaxed I didn't even relies I was singing and swaying to the imaginary beat
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Misplaced trust in old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my...
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh, oh
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven
I finished the song not realising tears where rushing down my face and then I heard clapping coming from outside the showers I grabbed the towel I brought and raped it around my body before wiping the tears still falling down my face. I pull the lower curtain to the side and shocked at who I see
Tobias POV
I have always been an early riser and today was not an exception, I woke up 40 minutes before 6 o'clock and got dressed in my work out clothes and started my morning ritual of beating the crap out of my apartment punching bag. Every time I would punch the bag I would see Marcus's face telling me I'm not good enough and see flashes of him whipping me causing me to punch the bag harder.
Around 6:10 I stopped hearing the voice of an angel singing, breathing heavy I walked to closer to my door to hear better
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
I was mesmerised by whoever's voice it was singing that I didn't even realise I walked out of my apartment and into the woman's bathroom where the showers where just staring at the shower Curtin wondering who this angel was
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, no

You are my heaven
I guessed it was the end of the song when I heard sniffling, all of the sudden I start clapping not even realising how creepy it would seem. I heard her shifting around then I saw her pull the Curtin aside with wide eyes
"Tris" I says surprised "umm hi Four" she says with an awkward wave I look around not knowing what to say or do "umm what are you doing In the woman's bathroom" she asks after a few minutes breaking the awkward silence "i...i...umm I heard you singing" "you have a beautiful voice" I say smiling a bit "thanks" she says smiling back, just then I notice her blotchy face and red swollen eyes "are you ok" I ask concern clear in my voice "yeah I'm fine" she says wiping her eyes and walking to the bench where her clothes say, I forgot she was only in a towel
"Umm do you mind" she asks "no not at all...I'm sorry I walke..." I stop when I see the Farris wheel tattoo on her ankle the dream I think "so that's the new tattoo you got" I saw staring at her ankle "yeah" she says checks turning bright red "does it have a special meaning" I ask walking closer curious to hear the answer "I guess you could say that" she says "it's the Farris wheel at the pier right?" I ask trying to get more information out of her "yeah...why are you asking so many question" she asks tilting her head to the side "it's...it's" I stop don't sure if I should tell her "you can tell me anything Four, I won't judge you if that's what your worried about" she says placing a gently hand on my shoulder making me tense not being used to such gentleness she removes her hand but still has a comforting look in her grayish blue eyes. I take deep breath "I had a dream last night... about you and I at the pier climbing the Farris wheel, it felt like a memory for some reason" I say looking down then in Tris eyes to see if it sparks anything and it does her eyes grow big in shock and her mouth hangs open
"What" she asks shaky
"Does this mean anything to you...to us" I ask wanting to know why I dreamed about her and why it felt like it was real, or maybe I just wanted it to be real I thought
"It... it, I don't know what to say Tobias" she says but right after puts her hand to her mouth "I mean Four" she mumbles out "you could start by telling me how you know my real name" I say angry "you wouldn't believe me if I told you" she says looking down "try me" I say "could we talk about this in private please" she says while looking around "my apartment is across the hall we can talk there" I say she nods "let me get dressed and then we'll talk" "ok" I reply walking outside and back into my apartment to give her some privacy.
Tris's POV
I quickly get dressed and was about to walk to Tobias apartment but I felt frozen in place what if he doesn't believe me i think. I can't lose Tobias not when I already lost me once, I take deep breathes please please let him believe me i pray. After I calmed down the best I could I walked out of the bathroom and walked in to Tobias apartment not even bothering to knock as soon as I walked in I was hit with the musky earth smell I missed so much, I stood there just inhaling Tobias's smell "are you going to come in or are you going to stand there all day" I hear Tobias say I blush and walk to the sofa taking a set across from Tobias "are you going to answer my question" Tobias's says folding his arms, I take a deep breath "I knew you in the past" I say "you knew me in abnegation" he asks I shake my head no "no i... I'm from the future" I spit out, he starts to laugh "it's not funny, it's true" I say he must of saw my face was serious because he stopped laughing "your serious...that's impossible" he says "yes I'm very serious" I say "prove it" he asks "your real name is Tobias Eaton your father is Marcus Eaton, they call you Four because you only have four fears heights, small spaces, killing, and your father" I say while watching his face turn to shock "how did..." cut him off "you showed me your fear landscapes once" I tell him "I did" he says shocked "yeah were a couple, I guess" I say "we were together, as in boyfriend and girlfriend" he asks, I nod "then what happen why aren't you in the future" he asks "lots of things happen... but I died, and got a second chance" I say a tear falling down my face "Tris" he says wiping my tear away I jump up off the sofa " I don't even know why I'm telling you this... I should go" I say walking away Tobias stops me "your telling me this because you care about me like I care about... I felt a connection to you the moment you fell through the net" he says bringing me in for a hug "I know what you mean I felt it the first day I saw you too" I say "then what's the problem" he asks "the problem is that future you probably hates me right know for dying when I promised everything will be ok and that we would have a long and happy life together... and every time I see you I think about my Tobias and how upset and mad he must be feeling" I say more tears falling down my face "I'm sure future me will understand" Tobias says "you don't understand I wasn't supposed to die my brother was but I couldn't let him do it has much as I hated him for what he did he was still my brother so I went in the weapons lab knowing I might never come out... it's my fault, I left you all alone and I feel like a horrible person" I say needing to get that off my chest Tobias traces calming patterns on my back "I don't know what happen since I wasn't there but from what you told me I could tell you're a hero Tris, you saved you brother the pain of dying that is pretty heroic if you ask me" Tobias whispers in my ear before placing a kiss on my temple "we will figure this out together, I promise" he says I nod and pull away from him "thank you" I say smiling "your welcome" he says and then kisses me with lots of passion, when we pull away we are both breathing heavy "maybe reliving the past won't be too bad" I say "yeah" he asks "as long as I have you I'll be fine" I say before kissing him again and tighten her arms around him.
