REUNITED
It was painful watching him live without me. Watching him scream for me back and beg to go back in time. Watching him cry when no one was around, or even when people were around. It broke my heart that I couldn't reach out and tell him I was there. But his job on earth wasn't done. They needed him to help with cleanup after the war. As selfish as it sounds often I felt like I needed him more. Here, after death I was reunited with many; My mother and father, Tori, Uriah, Al, Edward and Will. I was afraid to talk to him at first, after what I'd done but my mother assured me it would be all right. Just like she promised he was kind and understanding. Many expected me to continue on with my new world, my new life. Sometimes I think I should have because when you aren't focusing on what time it is there, time flies here. When you linger and remain watching everyone back on earth it slows time down. I couldn't help it though, I missed him too much. I was happy, safe, but I wasn't free without my Tobias. On many occasions I would go visit him, mostly during the night when he was alone. He never could see me but I'm sure he could feel me. On a few occasions I visited him in dreams. Some he remembered, some he didn't. Tobias went on to do great things in the political world but he never did fall in love. Toby, Zeke, Christina, Alam, and the others remained close friends. I watched him mend his relationship with his mother and if you ask me, that's one of the biggest reasons he had to stay alive. Christina never found love either which was odd for a girl like her. I'm not saying she never dated anyone she just never married. My mother, father and I watched Caleb and Carla get married on the day of my birthday, Tobias was his best man. It was his way of having me there. I had to admit it was a huge relief when all my loved ones crossed over. It meant I got to spend forever in safety with them. My favorite reunion was with, unsurprisingly Tobias.
I knew he would be coming that day, after his illness began to take toll and his body gradually weakened. So the first thing I did was wake up, and change into something I could only hope looked attractive without being provocative, and headed down to take him to his death. As morbid as it sounds its quite beautiful. The moment when your body stops fighting, stops hurting and slips away. Everything glows more and people smile wider. Unlike many believe you can still feel here, if you want to. You can still breath but you don't have to and so much more. I close my eyes remembering the last time we kissed which causes tears to form. Not tears of sadness but joy. soon we can kiss to our hearts content.
I walked into his room and sat next to him taking his hand in mine. It took him moments to open his eyes and sit up, only his body was young again just like he was when I died. A look of confusion sprawled onto his face but before I could answer any questions I kissed him deeply. Again my senses were awakened in a way only Tobias can make me. I felt more alive than ever. When I finally pulled away he was smiling.
"I missed you." He said.
"I missed you too." I countered my fingers intertwining with his as I pulled him out of the room, wanting to get away from his lifeless, mortal body. The one left behind for the living almost in a sense a decoy. He was going to ask if he was dead but as we walked away he saw his body, and I figured he'd peace it together. Before I knew it he had his forehead pressed to mine, his arms around me, and his dark handsome eyes were looking at mine memorizing every detail.
"I was afraid I'd forget what it was like to hug you, and kiss you, and stare into your eyes. I love you Tris Prior."
"I love you Tobias Eaton." I whispered and our words were again stopped by a kiss.
The evening went smoothly, he met my parents officially and they seemed to all get along well. The only one missing was Caleb. But he had children to take care of. As horrible as this may sound I sometimes wish we all died in an explosion. Then we would've come here, and continued our lives together. However I'd been here long enough to know we live at certain times for a reason, and I couldn't be selfish about life. We all ate passing our plates to the left and serving the other; Not to mimic the abnegation but as a sighn of appreciation, and respect. Tobias's hand held mine whenever he could, like we were afraid of loosing each other again. That stuff didnt happen here though, people didnt loose each other.
As soon as the meal was over we walked to a big field and sat looking at a lake, me in his lap.
"I visited you." I whispered but there was no reason to be quiet. Except these moments felt so sacred after so long I didnt want to disrupt the peace.
"I know...I could feel you there...I remember talking to you sometimes hoping you were listening.."
"I was, and honestly sense we are being honest with each other that made me hurt so much. To know that I couldn't really answer." He kissed my color bone from behind right where my tattoo was.
"Im really sorry...Im sure it wasnt easy for you.."
"It wasn't easy for either of us." I pointed out. "But you're here now...We can start a life together. One without war, without death and anguish. Though I warn you I can still get mad at you just like I did when you listened to Nita." He smiled and lay me down so he was almost on top of me and could kiss my neck. "And im glad you talked to me. It reminded me that I was still yours. That you hadn't moved on."
"How could I?" He asked bewildered. "Tris I-"
"Do me a favor." I whispered putting a hand to his lips. "Kiss me." His kisses made me feel better no matter what was happening. I craved them so much. He smiled and kissed back. We didnt pull away until a sound of a train interrupted us. An excitement crept into his eyes and he sat up gently pulling me along.
"Ive avoided trains often without you, unless I felt like I needed to be closer to you." He confessed. "Wanna jump on this one? Together?"
And thats what we did. We jumped onto the train a surge of dauntless thrill running through us. Even though we couldn't die we can still feel pain, though its a lot easier to get rid of. And our human instincts are so strong even if there was no true risk to have the adrenaline rush would always be there. Once on the train we sat down me leaning on his shoulder as we watched a world go bye. A world we would spend together, forever. A world where there was no deaths. Just happy Reunions
