"Tobias?" We were lying on our bed but he was nearly a meter away from me. I couldn't remember the last time we had snuggled together. He didn't move so I contemplated whether I should go back to sleep or go for a walk through the pit. The latter won out and before Tobias could even breathe I was out of the apartment in one of his large and baggy t-shirts.

The sun was peeking over the horizon when I got to the chasm edge, where Tobias and I had kissed after going through his fear landscape.

It had only been a few minutes after I had arrived at the chasm when I heard foot steps approaching me. I sat on the edge of the rock cliff and waited from him to sit next to me and leave a meter wide gap between us. Surprisingly, he sat right next to me, our thighs touching. I felt a burst of electricity in my leg and my heart started to race. If my surprise showed on my face he didn't react, all he said was "I'm sorry, Tris"

I looked away from him and replied "What for?"
He grabbed my chin and turned my face towards him. "Everything, I'm sorry for everything that I did that hurt you over the last few months. I'm sorry that I kept my distance, I just thought you'd be safer" I saw a tear start to trickle down his face and before I knew it tears started to fall on my own face.

"I'm sorry too, for losing the baby, for the pain that I put you through" I sobbed and looked up into his eyes.

"Don't be sorry, it was my fault- I blamed you for losing the baby and I lost you in the process. I don't need a baby to love you, I already love you so much" I kissed him with all the passion that had been locked up for the last few months and he did the same in return.

"I love you too but we could always try again couldn't we?" I smile up at him and tug his hand , pointing to the direction of the apartment.
