Hello everyone :)
Looking forward to writing this chapter very much, got some surprises for you so I hope you like them.
Enjoy!

Four pov, Monday morning:

I woke up before my alarm, grinning from the dream I had. When I tried to remember the details, they scattered, but I knew Tris was in it and the dream left me with a warm feeling in my chest. The glow inside me slowly drained as I remembered we had school again today. Groaning, I slowly rose out of bed and got dressed.

My stomach grumbled and reminded me that I haven't eaten yet, but as I looked over at the time, I realized that I had an hour before school starts. I decided I would call Tris and see if she wants to go to a cafe or something.

She picked up on the fourth ring and when she spoke, her voice was heavy with sleep.

(bold is Four, normal is Tris.)

"Hello?"

"Hey Tris, it's Four."

Her voice brightened, "Hi Four."

"Hey I'm sorry if I woke you up-"

"No no it's fine."

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere to eat before school?"

"Yes! Yeah defiantly." She cleared her throat and I grinned at her excitement.

"Great, I'll pick you up in 10."

"10? You know I'm still in bed." She said dryly.

"So?"

"10 minutes is not a very long amount of time to get ready. Y'know, time to make myself not look and smell like I just got out of bed?"

"I don't care what you look like. And you always smell great anyway." I replied while grinning and thinking how Tris could not be more wrong. She still looked gorgeous when we slept over at Zeke's and Uriah's house. I heard a frustrated sigh on the other end before she spoke again.

"Okay fine I'll be ready." I could tell she was smiling.

...

I pulled up to Tris' house on my motorbike 10 minutes later like I promised. She ran outside with her phone in her hand and her golden hair hanging gently around her face. It was a bit hotter today, so I wasn't surprised to see Tris in high-waisted denim shorts, a black singlet and her green army jacket. She looked hot... But there was a flustered expression on her face.

"And you said you couldn't get ready and look good in 10 minutes?" I teased, pulling her into my arms. She returned she hug and buried her face into my shoulder.

"Tris?" I said concerned, "Tris are you okay?"

Tris nodded and said something, but her voice was muffled by my shirt. I leaned down, my concern growing, and she whispered in my ear.

"I'll tell you later okay?" I frowned but straightened up and led her over to my motorbike. Absentmindedly, I handed Tris her helmet and clipped it up for her. Small arms wrapped around my waist and I felt Tris rest her head on my back. The bike roared and sped off towards the closest coffee shop.

Why is Tris this upset? She sounded fine when I called her... unless something happened in the 10 minutes she was getting ready? The last time I saw her like this was when she had a dream about her father. Maybe her emotions have something to do with him. Just the thought of that monster made my blood boil.

Tris and I pulled in to the cafe parking lot and hopped off my bike. She grabbed my hand and together we walked into the building. I felt a tug on my hand and looked down.

"Can we get a take away and go for a walk or something?" Tris asked me, eyes pleading.

"Of course." Okay, now I'm really worried about her. She doesn't even want stay in a public place to talk about what's bothering her.

I quickly ordered us two coffees and white chocolate muffins. Tris gave me a weak smile at the sight of the food and then returned to her gloominess. I quickly pulled her by the hand outside to an abandoned park and swing-set next to the cafe. I sat on the swing and pulled Tris onto my lap.

"Tris?" I was growing impatient, but I was willing to wait to tell me what was upsetting her.

"After you spoke to me this morning... I got another call from my mum." She took a shaky breath and continued, "S-she told me that my father has been released from jail. Mum's coming home for a few days." Tris hiccuped and a tear rolled down her cheek. I could feel red overtake my face as anger consumed my body.

"Shh Tris, Tris it's okay. It's going to be fine. I won't let him come near you." Empty words. I knew it wasn't going to be okay. I knew there is a limit in which I can protect Tris. Of course I didn't tell her the truth, the truth is raw and painful and blunt. Besides, it's not like she's oblivious. Obviously she knew the same as me, but some things are better left unacknowledged. I hugged her tighter.

"It's n-not ok-kay he's g-going to come a-and f-find m-me, Four!" She hiccuped again. I cupped her chin in my hand and gently turned her face so she was looking directly into my eyes. Even when hers were bloodshot and teary, they were still the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

"Tris."

"Yes?"

"I am not. Ever. Going to let him hurt you, okay?" I promised.

"Okay." She whispers, "Thank you so much Four."

I hesitated. I could trust her, couldn't I? Of course I could, just tell her Four!

"Tobias."

"Excuse me?"

"My name... It's Tobias. Tobias Eaton."

Her jaw dropped and she reached up a hand to cup my chin.

"Tobias." My name sounded amazing coming out of Tris' mouth. She lightly grazed her lips on mine and whispered against my mouth my name over again. I pressed down firmly and her eyes flickered shut as we kissed, pouring all our emotions through the simple, yet loving, gesture. A cool breeze drifted across the park, making Tris shiver. I pulled her jacket tighter around her while gently pulling our lips apart so our foreheads rested on one another.

"I like it." She said warmly, referring to my real name. I grinned and stood up with Tris still gathered in my arms.

"Tobias, put me down." She said sternly. I smiled even more at the use of my name and shook my head.

"Nope." I said, popping the 'p'. Tris squirmed in my arms but I held on tight and strode towards my bike. She eventually gave up and slumped back, kissing my cheek as she did so.

"This reminds me of yesterday." I said to Tris, sitting her gently down on the back of the motorbike and hopping over onto the front.

"Seems like an eternity ago." She laughed and wrapped her bony arms around me, resting her face against my back. Immediately I felt electricity pulse through my body and I smiled at the effect Tris still had on me. We sped off into the direction of school, her clinging to my back, and me enjoying her touch.

...

Tris pov:

We walked into art class hand in hand, me earning a couple of death glares from the girls who have been all over Four- Tobias- since they met him. I spotted Christina, Will, Zeke and Uriah in the back of the class, staring at our interlocked fingers. Uriah absentmindedly held his hand out to Zeke and he placed a $10 bill there.

"You guys have been betting on us?" I asked them, frowning and breaking them out of their trance. They suddenly sprang into action and I was pulled to the side by a squealing Christina.

"TRIS! De-tails I need DETAILS!" She screamed at me. I glanced over at Tobias to see he was in thee same position as me except the boys weren't screaming and jumping up and down. Our eyes made contact and I rolled mine, gesturing to Chris. He smirked and turned back to talk to Uriah, Zeke and Will.

"Uh, well we went on a picnic near a lake... and we kissed?" I said it hesitantly, like a question.

Christina sighed and made an 'awww' sound, "That's so romantic. I personally think..."

Have you ever heard the term 'saved by the bell?' Well I was spared from Christina's blabbering about my love life when the second bell rang loud and clear through the room and Tori walked in. Exhaling slightly in relief, I plonked myself down in a seat. Tobias lowered himself down into the one next to me and took my hand gently in his as Tori began talking.

"Okay... class! Last lesson was just an introduction to art, however this time we need to start assessments." Everyone in the room groaned. "I know, I know, but this assessment is pretty cool. You have to draw a symbol for a trait. Example kindness could be two people hugging, or meanness could be a thunder cloud. Your choice. Oh, and you get to work in pairs." Tori finished abruptly and lay back in her chair.

In my peripheral vision I saw Chris and Will nodding at each other and taking out their sketch books. They were obviously working together. Someone gently nudged my shoulder and I turned around to see Tobias grinning at me.

"Partner?"

I smirked, "You sound like you're in middle school."

He pouted dramatically, making me laugh.

"Well now you look like you're 3." I told him, still laughing.

He gave me a confused look and said, "But... I'm four!" Which made me laugh even harder.

He grinned and asked again, "But seriously, do you want to work with me?"

"Yes of course." I replied, and together we pulled out our sketch books.

"What should we do?"

I pondered the question for a moment before answering, "Knowledge... uhm... bravery and... selflessness. Two more."

"That sounds good. Um kindness and honesty." Tobias fired back at me. We grinned.. Half the task was done already.

"Okay but you can draw." He said poking me in the side. I smiled.

...

TOBIAS POV:

Tris and I strolled hand in hand through the hallways on our way to English. Our conversation flowed naturally until we came to a stand still in front of a group of girls who were glaring at Tris and smiling 'seductively' at me. I instantly recognized the leader of the group as Lauren, and the two girls behind her, Molly and Myra. Lauren was once in our group, but she left after two new students came; Molly and a boy named Peter. They were siblings and they welcomed Lauren's bitchy personality, unlike our group. There were rumors she still had a crush on me, and by the way she acts, those rumors seem true.

"Four!" Lauren's squeaky voice drowned out her loud, hot pink outfit. She swished her fake blond head batted her eyelashes at me. "How are you baby?"

"Um excuse me, but who are you?" Came a voice to my right. I looked down in shock, completely forgetting Tris was still here. She was looking vaguely amused, with her eyebrows raised and the corners of her mouth turned up. Lauren switched her gaze to Tris, mascara-covered eyes looking her up and down.

"Who are you?" Lauren replied, "you look like a little girl." I frowned at Lauren. Tris was beautiful.

Tris didn't seem fazed by the her remark, she just said, "I'd rather look like a little girl than a bimbo. So tell me, did you actually apply your makeup or just dip your head in the bucket?" There was a murmur of 'oohs' and 'burns' through the crowd that had formed around us. Shock flashed across Lauren's face but she quickly composed herself.

"Uh Four's girlfriend. Duh." She smirked and Tris barked a laugh, looking up at my bewildered face. Where the hell was Lauren getting this from?

"O-kayy well then I guess your 'boyfriend'", Tris said, putting quotation marks with her fingers around the word boyfriend, "is cheating on you." She held up our entwined hands and grinned. I smiled at the look on Lauren's face; pure jealousy.

"Pfft with someone like you? A 16 year old in a 12 year old body! Bitch." Lauren hissed. She glared at Tris and winked at me, before spinning on her heel and strutting off. I felt a tug on my hand and looked down at Tris. She was looking as dumb-struck as I probably was. It was a minute before she found her voice again.

"That was odd."

...

English was possibly one of the most boring lessons I have ever been in. By the looks of it, Tris was as bored as me, and we both gazed out the window watching the sky turn overcast and grey. Rain drops began falling, splatting against the window and then dripping down the glass to form a puddle at the sill.

I was broken out of my daydream by Tris throwing a piece of folded up paper at my face. I scowled and she smirked and I opened the note up.

Tris' neat cursive slanted across the page in one sentence.

T- why do we have to do this class, I already know how to speak English.

I grinned and scrawled down a reply.

Me- I know, this teacher is killing me. Longest hour and a half of my life. Cute butt by the way ;)

Folding up the note, I watched Tris read what I had written and blush a deep scarlet. I stifled a laugh at her reaction. She glared at me playfully and I started to smile when a sharp pain came from my temple. I winced and whispered to Tris, "I have a headache, be right back." She nodded in understanding so I stuck my hand in the air.

"Yes, Four?"

"Can I please use the bathroom?" My headache pounded more urgently now.

"Yes of course, here is your leave pass." Mrs Matthews handed me a blue slip and I rushed out of class into the hallway. I came into sight of the men's bathroom and my pace quickened. Just as I was about to step foot in the bathroom, though, a fake blond head flicked towards me and I ended up face to face with a caked-face-bitchy-beauty-queen I never wanted to talk to again.

"FOUR! Nice to run into you again!" Lauren squealed. Ugh, her voice was really not helping my headache.

"Yeah... Lauren, listen I really have a bad headache so can you get out of the doorway to the men's room please?" I was really trying to be nice. I was. Although, that didn't change the fact I wanted to smack her in the face with a chair.

"I think I can fix that..." She whispered, winking, and leaning in close to my face.

Oh God.

...

Tris pov:

I looked at my watch with concern. Four-Tobias, has been gone for 15 minutes! I guess I better check on him.

I raised my hand slowly and Mrs Matthew's eyes flickered towards me.

"Tris?"

"May I please use the bathroom?" I asked politely. She sighed and handed me a blue slip wordlessly, gesturing for me to leave. I hurried out the door, turning into the hallway. The most likely place he would be is the men's room to get a drink, so I headed there.

I really hoped he was okay, I don't like seeing Four who is usually so strong, in pain. He is the best boyfriend to me, and he doesn't deserve it.

Turning into the corridor that held the toilet, I stopped in my tracks. Everything inside me seemed to collapse and my shoulders deflated and sagged. The air went out of my lungs in a shaky exhale. My eyes teared up immediately at the sight in front of me.

Of course I'm not good enough for him. Of course! Why did I even put myself in a position like that where I could get hurt so easily? Of course I never expected to see this, I never expected Tobias to do this to me.

But seeing is believing. And what I saw was Four. My Tobias. Lauren. Lips locked. Eyes shut. In each other's embrace.

Kissing.

The same word echoed in my brain over and over and my knees gave out beneath me.

...

Ohh cliffhanger.
