chapter 47

*time lapse to day before Tris, Tobias and Uriah leave*

Tobias' POV

I still can't believe that this is the last time I am going to see my friends for who knows how long, at least the love of my life is coming with me, although we will get separated when we do different films and TV programmes. Tris has an audition for Doctor Who, but we don't know for what part, and I am going to be in Downton Abbey for an episode. We have spent all of our Summer at Tris' house and today we have decided to do something that we always used to do, so we are going to the Dauntless Diner, then ice skating, then a game of Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare. Right Now we have just arrived at the Dauntless Diner, and the waitress has come over, so I order. "ten house burgers, five portions of fries, ten slices of Dauntless cake, five cokes and five waters" she writes it all down, then goes to a different page, writes something, rips out the page and gives it to me, winking. I look and see her number, so give it back to her with a blank expression and turn and kissed Tris. The waitress huffs and walks away, causing us all to burst out laughing. We sit and wait for our meals. The waitress comes over with our drinks, and winks again, so I put my arm around Tris, then when she gives us all our food she leans down and whispers "I know you want me, and have to act like you don't for your girlfriend, so me, you staff only room in ten" I shove her away, seriously, what is wrong with you? You can see my girlfriend, who I love and you still insist on flirting, eff off!" I turn and kiss Tris until I hear her walk away. "bitch" mutters Tris. "I know, but I love you so she had no chance" she smiles and we eat.

After our meal we go to the skating rink. The song If I Die Young by the Band Perry and Tris skates onto the rink excitedly. (song on right)

If I die young,

Bury me in satin,

lay me down on a bed of roses,

sink me in the river,

at dawn,

send me away with the words of  a love song,

uh oh, uh oh,

Lord make me a rainbow,

I'll shine down on my mother,

she'll know I'm safe with you,

when she stands under my colours,

oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no,

ain't even grey and she buries her baby,

the sharp knife,

of a short life, oh well,

I've had just enough time,

If I die young,

Bury me in satin,

lay me down on a bed of roses,

sink me in the river,

at dawn,

send me away with the words of  a love song,

the sharp knife,

of a short life, oh well,I've had, just enought time,

And I'll be wearing white,

when I come into your kingdom,

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the loving of a man,

but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,

there's a boy here in town,

says he'll love me forever,

but who would have known that forever could be severed by,

the sharp knife,

of a short life, oh well,

I've had, just enough time,

so put on your best boys,

and I'll where my pearls,

what I never did is done,

penny for my thoughts?

oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar,

they're worth so much more after I'm a goner,

and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing,

it's funny when you're dead, how people start listening.

If I die young,

Bury me in satin,

lay me down on a bed of roses,

sink me in the river,

at dawn,

send me away with the words of  a love song,

uh oh, the ballad of a dove,

go with peace and love

gather up your tears,

keep 'em in your pocket,

save 'em for a time you're really gonna need 'em

oh, the sharp knife,

of a short life, oh well,

I've had just enough time,

so put on your best boys,

and I'll wear my pearls.

She finishes singing and I feel tears in my eyes. "what's wrong?" she asks. "just the thought of ever losing you" I explain. "don't worry I'm not going anywhere" she smiles and grabs my hand, I suddenly realise why, Play it again just came on and she wants to dance, so before I sy a word she is taking my hand. i laugh and look at her, and I know in that one moment, the way I acted at the thougt of losing her, I know that she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. She is the one I want to marry.

We skated for a few hours and are now sitting in the basement at Tris', in a circle on beanbags. "my turn, never have I ever... had a number for a name" says Tris, with an evil smirk. I groan and drink a shot of this really sour lemon juice, we decided we didn't want to drink alcohol because it would ruin the night. "never have I ever kissed worn a bra" I say, returning the smirk. the girls groan and take a shot, their faces scrunching up. "I'll go! never have I ever... kissed Tris" says Shauna, looking at me and Uriah, we groan and drink. "never have I ever kissed a guy" says Uriah, the girls groan and drink. "never have I ever been on TV" says Lynn. Tris, Uriah and I drink. We do a few more rounds and then play truth or dare, which was the perfect way to end a perfect day. We decide that the others will come and see us off at the airport, so we will say our goodbyes then. I fall asleep with my gorgeous girlfriend in my arms.

Oh Tobias thinking about marriage
