Chapter Twelve-
"Get away from her." I say cruelly to Marcus.
"Beatrice! How nice to see you again! I hear you and Tobias are close, how is he?" He asks with a happy tone that seems manufactured.
"I said get away from Lacey. Lacey, go back inside." I instruct and she looks confused.
"But I want to talk to Mr. Eaton." She says confused and Marcus smile's a sickly sweet smile.
"Get the hell away from her. I know the truth about you. You never loved him, and you don't care how he is. Not all Erudite's reports are full of lies. The scars on his back tell the whole story." I say and Lacey looks alarmed.
"You foolish girl, do you really be-," I cut him off.
"You are foolish if you think I'll actually believe you. Lacey go inside now." I command and she walks to her door.
"Look, the only reason I haven't come down to Abnegation and beat the bloody pulp out of you is because he's the one who should get to do it. You are nothing but and arrogant lying piece of trash and you deserve to die. Shut up or I'll decide I know longer care who beats the crap out of you." I say turning on my heels and going into Lacey's house.
"What's going on Beatrice?" My mom asks sweetly.
"This isn't my story to tell. Maybe another say I'll explain it one day." I say and she nods knowing it's an emotional topic that I don't want to talk about.
"Well it was nice to meet you Lacey and I would love to see you again. I have to go back to Dauntless because I was supposed to be at training for the transfers two hours ago." I say before walking out.
I'm almost at the door when Lacey runs up and hugs my knees.
"Good bye," She says a tear rolling down her cheek. I get on my knees and hug her tightly.
"Goodbye doesn't always mean forever." I say and I leave.
Once I'm at the compound I decide to jump instead of going through the back entrance. I step on the ledge laughing as I fall down and drop onto the net. I crawl out to see Uriah staring at me in shock.
"Where were you? Everyone's looking for you." He says urgently and I laugh a little.
"I told Four I was going for a walk. I found a little Abnegation girl wandering around the Dauntless compound and then I took her home. While I was there I just ran into my parents and yeah." I say and he sighs.
"Let's go." He says gripping my forearm and dragging me to the dining hall. I look at the time and see its five fifteen. We get inside and everyone stares.
"Where were you?" Christina asks flustered.
"I went for a walk, I told Four." I say motioning to Four who's standing right behind her.
"Walks don't take five hours." Four says and I laugh.
"Well mine usually do." I retort. He shrugs and we both sit down. Uriah and Christina stay standing.
"Seriously Tris do you know how worried we were?" Christina says and I shrug.
"A lot apparently." I say and she rolls her eyes.
After a very awkward diner me and Tobias head back to his apartment. I am nervous for the conversation about to come. I have a bad feeling about this.
We get inside his apartment and I kick my shoes off. He opens the fridge and grabs two water bottles. He hands one to me and I try to smile but I'm too nervous so it comes out crooked. He takes one look at me and starts laughing. I feel myself start to blush.
"What's so funny?" I ask feeling myself turn so red.
"You just look so panicked it was a little funny. Calm down Tris." He says and I nod.
"So what do we need to talk about? I mean I want to tell you something but I guess it can wait." I say and he nods.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to move in." He says looking at his feet, he looks embarrassed.
"Wait so you got me so panicked when all you wanted was for me to move into a place I basically already live? I mean I have a dresser here for god's sake I thought like you were dying or something!" I say and we both laugh.
"You need to spend less time with Christina; you're getting a little dramatic." He says still laughing.
"Okay so I wasn't really on a walk all that time." I confess.
"No," He says sarcastically.
I explain to him about Lacey, Laiken and my parents. I pause a little when Marcus comes in though.
"Then what?" He asks curiously.
"I saw Marcus." I say and he gets this expression on that he only makes when Marcus is mentioned.
I explain to him how Marcus was bothering Lacey and how I threatened him. By the end Tobias has a wide grin on his face and his eyes look wild.
"That's my girl; tough as nails." He says and I can't help but giggle.
We spend the rest of the night talking and kissing and apparently falling asleep.
I wake up to Tobias' alarm clock and groan. I roll over and see Tobias awake and smiling.
"Were you watching me sleep? Because no offense that's a little stalkerish." I say and he laughs.
"No I just woke up and the alarm clock hadn't gone off yet so I just waited." He says and I nod sitting up.
I walk into the bathroom and take a shower. I get out and comb my hair, still in just a towel. I'm still combing my hair when I hear a knock on the front door.
"Could you get that? I just got out of the shower." I call out to Tobias.
"Sure, make me do it for you!" He yells back sarcastically. I hear him open the door and some indistinct chatter.
I slip out of the bathroom and grab a shirt from an open drawer and put it on over my head. It drops to my knees and I laugh as I realize it's Tobias' not mine. I slip on some really short shorts and run to the door. I see and Erudite boy about my age standing in the doorway. Caleb.
"I'm sorry I was looking for Beatrice Prior, I must've got the wrong house number. I'm, um, sorry, for, uh, coming." He says looking at his feet.
"Wait are you talking about Tris Prior?" He asks amused by the fact that I'm eavesdropping.
"Uh, yeah, I guess," He says.
"Oh she's here then." He says amused by Caleb's shocked face. I walk to the doorway.
"Hey Caleb! How are you?" I say wrapping my arms around him. Tobias clears his throat and I start laughing.
"Four, this is my brother Caleb." I say and he laughs a little.
"Hi," Caleb says shoving his hand out reluctantly.
"I'm Tobias Eaton, Tris' boyfriend." Caleb looks up with wide eyes.
"How old are you?" He asks and I start to giggle.
"I'm nineteen." He says and Caleb rolls his eyes.
"Don't you think you're a little old for my little sister?" He asks.
"God what is with your family with age?" He asks me and I laugh. Caleb frowns.
"I thought the same thing." I explain.
"Can I talk to her alone?" Caleb asks and Tobias rolls his eyes.
"Go away." I say pointing out the door.
"Are you kicking me out of my own apartment?" He asks mockingly.
"No as of last night, I'm kicking you out of our apartment." I say smirking.
"Whatever," He says and he kisses the top of my head before walking out.
"Do you know who he is? He's Tobias Eaton! He was abused! He could abuse you too! I suggest you break up with him right now. I just don't want you getting hurt." Caleb says and for a second I'm glad he worries for my safety and then the second ends.
"Do you think I don't know that? His back is covered in scars! It's obvious! But I know Tobias, he wouldn't do that. I know him better than anyone else. He doesn't want anyone to know his real name because he doesn't want people pitying him. He doesn't want pity, he wants love. And I love him." I snap at him.
"But I am willing to bet that he doesn't love you back. He's going to hurt you Beatrice; trust me!" He shoots right back at me.
"You clearly don't know him; he was the first to say 'I love you'. He said it to me right after initiation. I haven't truly said it and knew what it meant until yesterday when I said it back. We aren't like everyone else in Dauntless, we don't use meaningful word without knowing the true meaning." I spit.
"Trust me Beatrice." He says and again I feel that flicker of worry in his voice.
"Get out." I say pointing to the door.
"Beatrice don't do this to yourself! I hate being like this but I don't want him to hurt you." Flicker.
"Out." I say flatly, opening the door to reveal Tobias leaning against the wall waiting for the conversation to end. Caleb walks out.
"I'm sorry," He says before walking down the hall way.
I feel my eyes start to fill with tears and Tobias wraps his arms around me. Out of the corner of my eye I see Caleb staring. Good, I think, know he'll know that we truly love each other. Tobias strokes my hair and I bury my face in his shirt.
"He think's you'll hurt me." I choke out and he pulls back a little bit so he can look at me.
"I promise I will never hurt you in anyway. I would hate myself so much if I ever did. I love you and it hurts to see you like this." He says softly and pulls me back into a hug.
"I love you too, I know you would never hurt me, but Caleb just doesn't get it. Not everyone understands our relationship." I say and he laughs.
"Half of the time the people of Dauntless are just shocked I can actually have emotions." He jokes and I laugh lightly.
"Christina surely was." I say and he laughs.
This is what our relationship really looks like.
This is who we are.
Added more Fourtris stuff... I love all you guys sooooo much! -Sway Sway
