Tris POV: 

"Tris, I'm sorry." She says while I cry on her shoulder. 
Today, five years ago, Caleb died. 
"Christina, I'll be fine. Go ahead to school." I say sobbing. 
"Tris, I can stay if you want." She says. 
"No it's okay. Just go." 
She nods and walks out the door. 
I put my head back on the pillow and cry. 
After thirty minutes, I put on a gray shirt, a black hoodie, black jeans, and my black combat boots. I walk to cemetery and hug Caleb's grave cryng. 
"Caleb." I say sobbing. 
I sit against the tree his buried next to and continue crying. I take the pocket knife out of my pocket and begin carving in the tree. When I am done, the tree says, 'Caleb Prior.'  I begin crying again and it starts raining. 
The heavier the rain falls the harder I cry. 
"Tris." A voice says. 
Tobias.
"Go away." I say.
I see his tall figure come closer. 
"I said, Go away!" I say a little louder. 
"Tris, you know it won't work."
"I know."
"Then why do you do it all the time." 
I say it to you all the time because I want you to get closer. But I don't say anything.
He picks me up bridal style and I cry against his chest. 
"I could've been there. I could've saved him."
"But you weren't and it's not your fault he died. You didn't kill him. You could've been there, but you weren't. It's not your fault." 
"I could have."
"I guess we'll never know." He say and presses his lips to my forehead.
