For You Chapter 10
Tris POV
{Week Later}
It has been week since the major attack on us. One week since I got together with Four. And it has been the greatest week of my life. So far, 8 people have been caught, trying to kill us. So only 29 people left, or 30, if you count my father. I am spending time with Four, Percy, and Ana. I run to the bathroom. When I come out, I hear crying. I walk up to the door, to see who is crying. I hear Ana and Percy is crying. I press my ear to the door.
I hear them crying, but I also hear four trying to calm them down. I hear Ana's voice break through it all. "I just want a dad!" that breaks my heart. Percy and Ana, they never had a real mom, and their dad was a psycho. I then hear Fours voice. "I will be your dad now." I open the door a crack, and see Percy and Ana, in His arms, him, kissing their heads, my kids fall asleep. He sets them on his bed. I smile, but I am also angry.
"Four? Did you lie to them?" I ask quietly. His head shoots up. "About what?" he asks, I guess he doesn't know I heard. "About being their Dad?" I say. He shakes his head no. "No, they are the kids I always wanted." He says, pulling me into a hug, and kissing my forehead. I look down, he is perfect, why would he want me?
Four must notice my change in demeanor. "What's wrong Tris?" he asks, I look up at his gorgeous blue eyes, which are now clouded with worry. "Why do you like me? I mean, every girl likes you, and you choose me? The ugly damaged girl, who has nothing special about her." I say, looking down again. Four grabs my chin, and tilts my head upward. "I reject that out of hand." (TIFIOS REFERENCE) "Whoever told you that, was lying. You are beautiful, and you are special." He says. I blush. He smiles. "Oh, since we are telling each other things, I need to tell you all something." He gently rouses Percy and Ana. They smile, and wrap their arms around him. He wraps his arms around them, and kisses their heads.
"My name is not Four, obviously, my name is Tobias, Tobias Eaton." He says. I smile, "Just don't call me that in front of others, just when we are a family." He says. I smile, at the thought of him being the dad. I realize we should say our real names as well, his real name was on the Kill List, but no one remembers. "My real name is Beatrice, but don't call me that. Percy is Perseus, and Ana is Annabeth, but we prefer our nicknames." I say, he nods.
"One more thing." He says. I look at him, as do Percy and Ana.
"When you guys came to our house for the first time, I noticed scars on your back, and arms. I know Tris has some that she inflicted on herself. But those scars are from abuse, a belt to be exact." He says. I stiffen, where he is going with this, I don't know.
"I have them too." I did not expect that. "My dad abused me, up until I was 12, I ran away. I am originally from London as well, but I lost my accent. My Father is Marcus Eaton." He says. I pull him into a hug. He smiles, and looks at the clock. It reads 11. "Time to go to sleep, you guys take the bed, I will take the floor." He says, while grabbing a blanket, and putting it on the floor. I look to Percy and Ana, and they nod. We know what we are all thinking. "Dad?" Ana asks. Tobias looks up. I speak up. "Since we are a family, you will take the bed with us." He smiles widely. He climbs in next to us, sandwiching Percy and Ana in the middle. He wraps his long arms around all three of us, and pulls us closer. I take my hand, and put it on his waist. We have Percy and Ana in a life preserving prison. I fall asleep, feeling safe, for the first time in a long time.
That safety was shattered, when I heard the screams from Uriah's and Marlene's room. Another attack.
I turn 13 tomorrow, Yay June 1st!
