Tris’ POV

-

I wake up to the sound of a laugh.

A deep laugh.

Tobias’ laugh.

I jump up from bed and see him standing there with Shailene…

But

His arm is gone.

Tears fill my eyes.

“What did you do? Why did you never send me letters, or tried to stay in touch? What happened to your arm? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” I say so fast I don’t even think it sounds english.

He looks right at me and I swear my knees melted and my heart fell into my stomach.

He has his hair cut like in Abnegation, and his smile is sad.

“I’m sorry.”

Is all he says.

I start to go to hug him but-

“Mommy wake up,” I hear Shailene’s voice “Please momma!”

I blot up in bed and look around.

I see Shai.

I’m cold.

It was all a dream.

What the hell kind of dream was that?!
“Mommy someone is at the door!”

I hear a hard loud knock.

I get up and walk to the door.

I unlock and open

And a pair of Deep Blue eyes meet mine.

The kind I could stare at all day.
