Chapter 37
Tris' POV
When I turn back to Tobias and Teigon, tears are brought to my eyes. I have never realized how lucky I am to have the life that I have. I have a loving husband, a beautiful child, a nice home, a great job. My parents are alive, my brother is better than when I was in initiation, he's more accepting of my choices.
I reach my hand out and wipe the traitor tear from Tobias' cheek, only to bring my hand down to Teigon's cheek, softly stroking it. A tiny smile forms on his face, and his gums show for a fraction of a second. Tobias laughs a little, sniffing right after. I finally let my tears slip, and my shoulders shake with my silent sobs. I let out a deep breath.
" I don't deserve either of you," I say just above a whisper. "I have done so much recently I can't even imagine what you were going through. I just-" I begin to cry and feel Tobias come near me, stretching one arm around me in a hug, with Teigon up against my chest.
I wrap my arms around him and Teigon, my head resting on his chest, his perched on my head. I hear Shauna's door gently shut as I cry into Tobias' chest. After a couple minutes I feel a tear hit the top of my head, and Tobias' chin moves.
"You do deserve us, you deserve me." He says throatily, "We deserve each other. Everybody deserves to be with someone they love, to be with someone who loves them. And that's exactly what we have, and Teigon is a product of our love." He takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly, "I love you tris, and what you did wasn't necessarily okay, but I understand why you did it. I just wish you told me. I know you weren't expecting to have it happen then and that you tried to leave a note, but you could've told me about your plans beforehand so I would've had some general idea on where you were. Not knowing what happened to you, whether you were kidnapped or left me for someone else..." He breaks down, crying into the crook of my neck.
I grab Teigon from him, allowing him to wrap both of his arms around us; one at my waist, wrapping around to the small of my back, and the other wrapped around Teigon and my arm, resting on the tips of my hair on my shoulder. As his tears drop onto my shoulder and his hot breaths hit my neck, tears begin to slip down my cheeks at a more rapid pace.
"You know I'd never leave you or Teigon, I love you guys too much." I say barely above a whisper.
I ignore the throb in my shoulder and the burning of my muscles. I ignore the slight ringing in my ears. I ignore the faint footsteps from nearby hallways. I ignore the cheers of joy coming from the cafeteria. I ignore everything, and just hold my family.

So I might make another chapter since this was kind of short, by its probably be posted later this week since I like to write in my 6th period. But over the past week I met Bebe Rexha and went to her concert, got checked out early to hang with a friend before the concert, and saw panic! Live with my best friend. He was SO GOOD. I've seen panic! Twice before but this time was the best time ever and I was so close to his wife too. He hit this note in golden days near the beginning of the concert and I died 10 times. Quite literally. I also made some friends with random people at Starbucks, including TH worker, and someone from Idaho who came down for the Bebe concert alone since his boyfriend had to work. Like is that being social or is that being social. I'm practicing socializing😂 like and comment as you please. Love you initiates!
QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do with you best friend(s)?
A: I love going on long, late night drives with my two best friends (one can drive so no adults) where we just eat, jam out to the music that's blasting, and get lost two hours away from home.
