Hello! So I rewrote what I had of this story, Someone From The Past. I didn't like the way it was going, so I kinda rewrote it all. I also edited some grammar stuff. But here's the rewritten version! I hope you like it! Btw, I deleted the old chapters! ~justagirlwritingfanfics
Tobias' POV
"Come on, Ashton!" I yell into my 8-year-old son's bedroom, "We're going to be late for the party!" Today we are going to one of his friend's birthday parties. All I know about his friend is that he doesn't have a dad, and I've never met the boy or his mom. Ashton comes out of his room, putting on his jacket, and we go outside into the 40-degree air. I take my keys out of my pocket and get into my red pick-up truck with Ashton.
"Daddy, hurry up!" he says, trying to hide a smile while glaring at me. I laugh and drive to his friend's house.
When we get there, I walk up to the door, and ring the doorbell. A woman, who looks about 27, my age, answers the door.
She has blonde hair, and blue-grey eyes that remind me of a girl I used to know until I left Chicago 10 years ago. Beatrice. I immediately shake my head clearing my thoughts. It can't be her. I moved away because I had to escape from my dad and I wanted to start a new life. I tried to convince Beatrice that she should come with me all those years ago, but she didn't, she said she needed to stay with her family. I had finally worked up the courage to tell her 3 simple words: I love you. But I never got the chance because my flight was early. I went to college and made some bad decisions, but they resulted good and bad. I got a girl pregnant because of a drunken one-night stand gone wrong, but ended up with Ashton. The woman looks at me curiously, but snaps out of it almost immediately.
"Come on in, Justin's in the living room." She says, opening into the door wider and Ashton runs in, and I smile at the girl with the blue-grey eyes.
She blushes and looks down. "So, I have to ask you something…" she begins and I nod. "Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar… " She asks, avoiding my gaze.
I nod, "No, I'm sure I've never met you before. My name's Four." I say, extending a hand.
She shakes her head. "I'm Tris. And could you stay for a bit? I don't think 10 little boys are going to listen to me by myself, and I think you could be a big help."
I nod, following her as she leads me to the kitchen.
"I baked Justin's cake, do you want to see it?" She asks me, looking down as she tries to hide the blush creeping up on her face.
I nod, and she opens the box holding the cake. I gasp; it's blue and has the entire Marvel superhero pack made out of fondant. "It's amazing." I say. She blushes and mumbles a quiet thanks.
"Boys, do you want to eat?" Tris yells.
"Just give us 5 minutes, Mom!" Justin yells back.
"Okay!" Tris says, walking back into the kitchen. "Shit." She says under her breath.
"What?" I ask, concerned.
"I forgot to order the pizza." I sigh. God, she scared me.
"I think I might have some left at the Fire Station, Uriah's girlfriend runs the Pizza place in this town. You might know her, her name's Christina?" I ask, pulling my hoodie on over my head.
Her face lights up, "Yeah, I know her, we were roommates in college and have been best friends ever since." I smile politely.
"So do you want me to get that pizza?" I ask, and she smiles.
"Yeah, yeah." I nod, and she hands me $20.
I furrow my eyebrows, "What's this for?" I ask her.
"I'll feel like I owe you if I don't give you some money for it." She says, her hand still holding the twenty-dollar bill.
I shake my head, "Really, it's fine."
She sighs and push her outstretched hand towards her. "Okay, so could you be back here in 10 minutes?" I nod and leave the house.
When I arrive at the Fire Station, I go in and see Zeke and Uriah about to open the last full pizza. "Wait!" I yell, jogging towards them.
I grab the pizza that's still in the box, thankfully, and leave. "What the hell, man?" I hear Zeke yell, but I ignore it and run out the door to my truck.
I drive back to Tris' house about 5 minutes later. I knock on the door before walking in. "I'm back!" I yell, walking into the living room.
"Oh my God, thank you so much!" Beatrice squeals, walking towards me.
"You're welcome." I reply, setting the pizza down. We sit in a terribly awkward silence until the boys all come downstairs.
"Daddy, why are you still here?" Ash asks me.
"Well, I just got back from getting the pizza for you guys." I explain.
"Okay, who's ready to eat?" Tris says, opening the box. A chorus of me! s fills the room and Tris serves everyone pizza.
The boys all start talking, and Beatrice asks me, "So, Four. That's and odd name. What do you do?"
I take a bite of pizza before replying, "I'm a firefighter. What do you do?"
"I own a bakery. Three Little Birds. It's a little local shop about 10 minutes North of here." She says, pride evident in her eyes. We spend the rest of the time talking about our lives as we finish our pizza.
We serve cake, talk and all the boys eagerly eat the cake mumbling to each other about Superman vs Batman. Suddenly, the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it!" Justin yells, and Tris smiles.
A few seconds later Justin comes back to the living room, "Mommy, who's Peter?"
Tris' face goes pale and her body tenses up, "No one, baby. Just tell him to go away."
He nods and goes to the door. "Mommy, he won't go away!" Justin tells Tris. Tris sighs, and walks over to the door. I walk over with her and see Peter talking to Justin. "And that's why your mommy is-" he stops talking the seconds he sees us. "Hello Bea, it's been a while."
Tris' POV
I shudder when I hear him say my name. He places his hand on my shoulder and grabs it firmly.
"Don't call me that." I say through gritted teeth.
"Aw, come on. We both know that you still have a inner slut, I can tell, based on the fact that you have a new boyfriend." I look behind me and see that Justin has gone back into the living room. Good, I don't need him hearing this.
"I'm not a slut, and I never have been. And, he is not my boyfriend!" I yell through gritted teeth at him.
"Oh, come on babe, just admit it, you're a slut. I mean, look at how low the dress you wearing falls."
"Peter, just go away!" I yell at him.
"By the way, cute kid we made, huh?" he says before hopping into his black and silver mustang.
I sigh and walk back into the house, "Mommy, mommy! Can I open my presents?" Justin asks me, holding a blue bag with grey tissue paper sticking out.
"Yeah, sweetie, let's go into the living room first though." I say, closing the door behind me.
I walk into the living room with Tobias and Justin starts talking to his friends about stuff while walking through the house. Justin walks over to the big pile of presents with all of the other boys, and starts to open them.
"Wow! A superman action figure!" Justin exclaims. I smile; that's the present I gave him.
Next he opens the present from Four and Ashton, "Oh my gosh! A gift card to Toys 'R' Us!" Justin squeals.
He opens the rest of the presents, loving every one of them.
Four checks his phone and frowns, "Well, I think Ash and I better get going. Also Tris, I got a text from the guys telling me that I have to work double shifts because Zeke's girlfriend is pregnant, so he's going to be taking some time off." I nod; trying to remember when Shauna told me she was pregnant.
I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. "Okay, well bye then." I say, standing up.
He walks over to Ashton, "Come on, Ash. We have to go now."
Ashton shakes his head, "Daddy, can I stay here for a sleepover tonight?" he asks, pulling on the bottom of his dad's shirt.
"No, bud. I'm sorry, but I don't know his mom that well…" He says, looking over at me.
"Alright, well I'll see you around." He says, heading out the door.
"See you." I say, closing the doors behind him and watching his truck as he
"Mama will you read me a story?" Justin asks as I'm tucking him in bed later that night.
"Maybe tomorrow. Mama's really tired right now." I say making up an excuse. I kiss him on the forehead, "Love you. Night." I say, closing the door.
I walk upstairs towards my bedroom and get under the sheets. As I drift away, I think about the guy who claims he's not Tobias. Four.
Okay, so was the rewritten version better? Please tell me in the reviews!
