What up bros! It's AnonymousFanDude! I'm starting a new story. This is an original idea I came up with. Hopefully there isn't one like it yet. Most of you guys are gonna hate this story but will read it anyway because it's interesting. I hate writing it too. So please read the summary, it explains it all. Also, THIS IS A NORMAL LIFE AU. EVERYONE IS 27! Don't hate me forever. Leave a review telling me what you think and enjoy chapter 1. Hopefully.

Tris POV

All I can smell in the kitchen is cleaning product and chicken. Tobias will be home soon and I need everything to be perfect. Taylor—our four year old daughter—is asleep in her room and Troy—our ten year old son—is reading a book in the living room.

I leave the kitchen and walk over to Troy. "Troy," I say. He looks up at me. "Dad will be home soon. I suggest you go to your room incase he's mad."

"What about you, mommy?" he says.

"I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about. Remember Tuesday?"

He looks scared for a minute before running up to his room. On Tuesday Tobias came home drunk and he hit Troy in the head and he passed out. I get scared when Tobias is around the kids. I just don't want them to grow up the same way Tobias did. Or Marcus.

I sigh before checking on the chicken. It's done. I finish preparing it and put it on plates. I just finish setting up the table when the front door opens. It's Tobias.

"Tris! I'm home! And dinner had better be ready!" he calls.

"It is, Honey! I just set it out!"

I run up to him and kiss him. Then I go upstairs to get Troy and Taylor.

I knock on Troys door. "Come in," he shouts. He knows it's me because I knocked. Tobias doesn't knock, he just comes straight in.

"Dinner's on the table. And your father's home," I say. His face shows pure terror.

"Okay, mommy."

"Don't worry, Troy. I won't let daddy hurt you."

"Don't call him daddy. Call him either dad or Mr. Monster." I laugh at his comment.

"Okay. You'd better go downstairs before 'Mr. Monster' get angry." He nods and runs past me. I collect Taylor from her room and walk her down the stairs.

When I get down there they are both sitting in their spots at the table, Troy drinking cordial and Tobias is drinking beer. Just perfect.

I sit Taylor down in her chair and serve dinner. I then sit down myself and we all eat in silence.

Then Tobias speaks up. "So, Troy. How was school?"

Troy nods his head. "It was great. We got to do creative writing and the teacher said mine really stood out." Troy smiles before adding, "How was work, daddy?" Troy says daddy in front of Tobias because Tobias doesn't like just 'dad'.

"It was great," he says. "I saw someone rob a petrol station and the man behind the counter looked so scared. It was hilarious." Tobias works at Chicago security. He's one of the people who looks at the cameras all day. So he will know if I went somewhere I shouldn't have.

We finish dinner and I put the kids to bed. Tobias is drunk and passed out on the couch. I do the dishes and go to my room to sleep.

I wake up a couple hours later to my bedroom door opening. "Hi, Honey," Tobias says with an evil smile. And I know tonight isn't going to be pretty.
