Chapter 14:

Tris' POV

Last night after everyone finally left we go a couple hours of sleep. Shauna, Marlene, and I all hid our dresses in the guest room farthest away. We all thought it would be a good idea if everyone else, Christina, Marlene, Shauna, Uriah, Zeke, and Will, would stay here the night before the wedding. Each couple would have a guest room. It would be easier to get ready in the morning. We just have to ask Chris and Will, but I'm sure they'll agree.

Today, Tobias and I are headed to Abnegation to tell my parents about the wedding and engagement. I know my mom will be happy but my dad will take some convincing. I will tell Caleb later. I know he will be just as hard as dad, if not harder. I just hope, for Tobias' sake, we don't run into anyone who will recognize him, or even worse, Marcus.

I know if we run into Marcus, it will terrorize Tobias and he could hurt him or me. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if I got hurt.


When I wake up, I feel Tobias' arms wrapped around my waist protectively. I smile to myself and turn around to see my amazing fiancé. He looks so much younger when he sleeps, like he's actually his age. I look at him a while longer until he wakes up.

He opens his eyes and smiles. I kiss him lightly on the lips and get out of bed. "How long have you been awake?"

"An hour at the most."

"Were you watching me the whole time?"

"Maybe….." I say with a small smile. He laughs and says, "Stalker much?" Now it's my turn to laugh.

"Hurry up, you need to get up and get a shower. We have to go to Abnegation today." I say and he groans and covers his head with a pillow. I tiptoe quietly to the other side and rip the covers off him. "Hey!" He yells and I laugh and run into the bathroom locking the door behind me.

I get a quick shower and open the door slowly and look out the crack to make sure he's not waiting for me. I don't see him so I open the door and sprint into the walk-in-closet, but not before I feel a set of hands grip my waist and lift me up and walk into the walk-in-closet.

Once we get inside he sets me down and kisses me. I kiss back but then he pulls away. "Hey!" I yell and he laughs. "That's my revenge for pulling the covers off me this morning." He says with a smile and walks out. "Get a shower and get dresses Eaton!" I yell and close the door.

"Yes Prior!" He says and I can hear him run into the bathroom and start the shower. I smile and turn to look at my clothes. I decide on a black and grey knee-length strapless dress. I put on a shrug so I don't offend my parents. I put on my combat boots and find my pearl necklace and matching earrings. I put on my beautiful engagement ring and begin putting on my makeup. I put on my lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara, and black eye shadow.

I walk out and find Tobias watching TV, like the day before. "Ready to go?" I ask. "Yep, let's go." He says and continues watching the show he was watching. Like yesterday, I take the remote from beside him and turn off the TV. I set the remote down and run downstairs with Tobias right behind me. I grab my phone and keys and slip them in my pocket. I head into the elevator and look up to Tobias and smile. He smiles back and leans down and kisses me.

We continue our mini-make out session until we hear someone awkwardly cough. We break apart to see Max standing in the elevator awkwardly. I look down at my boots and blush. While Tobias is looking at Max, not breaking eye contact. "So, where are you two headed?" Max asks sounding distant. "We're going to be spending our day at the Navy Pier." I say while biting my lip, hoping he won't realize I'm lying. "Oh, ok, have fun." He says and the elevator door opens. We all step out and Max walks in the direction of the Pit. I pull Tobias along behind me to the trains and we jump on.


After about half an hour of talking on the train and occasionally kissing, we jump off the train and into Abnegation. We walk through the familiar streets until we reach my parents' house. I knock on the door. My mom opens the door and I hug her, surprisingly she hugs back. I let go and see my dad sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper. "Hi mom, hi dad." I say. "Hello Beatrice, what are you doing here?" My dad asks confused. "I wanted to tell you that I got engaged." I say smiling.

"To whom, may I ask?" Then he looks down at our hands linked together then rolls his eyes. "How old are you and what is your name? You look older than Beatrice." My dad says glaring at Tobias. "I'm Four and I'm 18."

My mom is smiling the whole time. "Congratulations! I knew you two would get together!" I laugh and look up at Tobias. He smiles and then my dad says something I was hoping he wouldn't say, "Four, you look vaguely familiar. What faction are you from?" He hesitates and says, "Abnegation, and before you say it, yes, I'm Tobias Eaton." He says looking at our hands the whole time.

"I knew it!" My mom screams. I laugh and roll my eyes. My dad has a look of shock on his face as if he didn't realize it was him. "Does your father know you're engaged, Tobias?" my father asks him. Tobias tenses and I squeeze his hand. "No, and I don't plan on telling him." Tobias snaps back. I rub soothing circles on his hand to help calm him down. My father looks even more shocked than before. I try my best to hold in my laughter at the look of his face.

"We better get going now, but the wedding is Wednesday, June 4th. You don't have to come but it's at the Navy Pier I say looking at my mom the whole time. "Bye, Beatrice." My mom says and bows, an Abnegation trait. We both leave and continue walking down the sidewalk in a comfortable silence, until I notice a hand on Tobias' shoulder.

He stiffens and I turn around. Marcus. Tobias turns around and stiffens. "What do you want Marcus?" Tobias says spitting out his name life poison. "Is that anyway to treat your father, Tobias?" he asks. "You are far from a father, now answer my question!" Tobias says raising his voice to just below a yell. He's in his Instructor Four mode. "I heard you two are engaged." He says.

"Where did you hear that from? We didn't tell you." I snap at him. He looks at me shocked. Then he glares at Tobias. "Andrew Prior, your father, told me. Why wasn't I aware of this?" I try to hold back a laugh and Tobias say, "Why would you be aware of this, it's not like we planned on telling you…." He takes my hand and pulls over to the train. "Don't count me out, I'll surely end up there sometime soon!" He yells back to us as we're running to the train.

When we get to the train, Tobias doesn't let go of his grip on my hand. The ride back is silent except for Tobias hyperventilating probably thinking everything through. I wish I could do something for him, but I know I can't.


When we get back to Dauntless, we jump off the train, hand-in-hand, as usual, and I see Christina sitting at a bench sipping her iced coffee. "I'll be right back, I want to see how Christina's date with Will went." I say and he nods and kisses me on the cheek and I run over to Christina.

"Hey Chrissy! How was your date with Will last night?" I ask excitedly. She smiles and holds up her left hand. "Congratulations!" I say and hug her. "Can I plan the wedding? I insist since you're planning mine." I say with a hopeful tone in my voice. "Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way, but one wedding at a time." She says smiling. "Hey Chris, everyone wants to stay the night at our place tonight so it will be easier in the morning. Are you and Will up for it?" I ask.

"Of course! We'll be over in an hour! See you then!" She says and I wave bye and head back to my apartment hoping to clean up a little bit before they all get here.

I run back and ride up the elevator in silence. Finally, the door opens and what I see leaves me speechless.
