"Will, truth or dare?" Uriah asks.
"Dare." When we look at Uriah, I can see the evil look in his eyes.
"I dare you to punch Four four times anywhere but the balls because I am sure Tris wouldn't be happy and this is Four's revenge not hers." Will looked at Tobias scared but he just nods and they both get up. Will punches Tobias four times on his left arm but he didn't even move.
"That really wasn't bad but it is a good job you didn't hit the other arm though." Tobias said as he sat down. I looked at him, wanting an explanation and he sighs before carrying on. "When you dropped the note, me and Zeke dived for it and I landed on that arm when Zeke landed on top of me. I got it checked and it isn't broken but I have to be careful because doing too much could cause problems but don't worry I will be fine." He said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Anyway, Christina, truth or dare?" Will asks.
"Dare."
"I dare you to let everyone ask you a question whilst you are under the truth serum." She just nods her head, thinking about what questions we might ask. I know it won't be too bad since she speaks her mind and used to be in Candor but I can tell she is still nervous. Zeke comes back and injects her with the truth serum and we wait for it to go into effect. "Okay Christina who do you hate most in this room?"
"Eric." She replies then she looks scared but Eric just laughs.
"If you were alone with Will what would you want to do with him?" Uriah asks.
"Kiss him until we can't breathe and then chill until I fall asleep in his arms." Christina answers whilst blushing. Will just smiles as we continue the questioning.
"If you had one wish what would it be?" Marlene asks
"To be dauntless."
"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?" Shauna asks.
"My fears."
"What are your fears?" Zeke asks with a sly grin.
"Moths, killing Will and Tris and my family and a few more that I don't want to say."
"Fair enough. Give your opinions about everyone in the room." Eric asks.
"I love you all so much." She says smiling.
"It's worn off now so it is your go Chris." I say as she starts looking around the room. Her eyes land on me and I am scared of what it is going to be.
"Tris you know the question." I wish it was anyone but me.
"Dare." I try to sound confident but I don't know if it works.
"I dare you sit on Four's lap." I just nod and go over. He kisses me on the cheek.
"Eric, truth or dare?" I ask. I don't know why but he doesn't scare me much but then again, it may be because him and Tobias are close and I know he won't do anything to me.
"Dare." He said confidently. I smile evilly and he shrinks back a little.
"I dare you to eat a whole loaf of amity bread." I said and he nodded. I suddenly felt my head start hurting so I fell against Tobias' chest and held my head with my hand whilst I closed my eyes.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Tobias asked, clearly concerned.
"Nothing I just got a bit of a headache but I will be okay in a minute. It happened all the time before I moved here and I got checked up multiple times but I am fine so don't worry about it." He sighed with relief and kissed my forehead. I kept my eyes closed and soon enough, I fell asleep against Tobias.
Tobias POV
Everyone just talked with each other, waiting for Eric and Zeke to get back from Amity. Shauna came over and sat beside me and we started talking about random things until she looked down at Tris and smiled. I looked down to see her asleep. I didn't want to leave my friends but I wanted her to be comfortable so I lay her down on the sofa behind me and covered her with the blanket on the back. Soon, the guys returned with the amity bread and came back to sit in the circle on the floor. They look over at Tris and smile.
"Hey, if you want, we can continue another time." Zeke says.
"No its fine if she doesn't wake up in an hour we will go back." He nods and we continue with the game. When almost everyone is out and we are just about to start a movie, I feel a small hand on my back and I know Tris is awake. I turn to see her smiling with her eyes still closed.
"Hey Tris. You fell asleep but we carried on playing. Sorry if you wanted me to wake you up but you looked so peaceful that I couldn't." before I can say anything, she silences me with a kiss.
"Its fine don't worry. Do I still have training tomorrow since we are technically members now?" I had made an agreement with Eric that we would train her separately so she can train when she wants to. Perks of having the head leader as a brother I guess.
"No the others do but Eric wants to train you separately because you are pregnant. You will be doing the same things but at different times so that you and the baby are healthy because he knows who the father is and since he is here, he is permitted to make sure you are both safe. Also he really likes the father and knows that he can beat his butt even if he is a leader." Everyone starts laughing apart from me and Eric. When I look over at him, I see him glaring at me and I can't help but laugh.
"Okay well we will watch a movie and then we will all go and get some sleep. Deal?" Zeke asks and everyone nods in response. We watch a movie called 'The secret place' and then we all leave to go to our apartment and dorms.
As we walk out, I scoop Tris up in my arms and run towards my apartment. She keeps laughing and when we get there, she fishes the key out of my pocket and opens the door. When we get in, I close the door with my foot and run to the bedroom with her. Before she can stop me, I run to the bathroom to get changed and when I come back, she is already changed into one of my shirts and sat reading a book in bed. I go and sit next to her and pick up my own book.
"What are you reading angel?" I ask. She giggles and shows me the front cover. It is a book I wrote when I first became a member and I published it under the name of Theo JE. It is what Tris called me after she first met me and couldn't remember my name and when I asked her why, she said it was because she could remember the T and that I had a pretty name.
I start to laugh and she looks at me questioningly. When I finally calm down, I decide to play a little bit.
"Do you like it?" she frowns at me. I can tell she is wondering why I was laughing when I saw what book she was reading but she answers anyway.
"Yes it is the best book I have ever read and in fact I have re-read it eight times now. This is my ninth time." I smile so wide, my cheeks start to ache. "What is wrong with you tonight? You laugh when I show you what book I'm reading and when I tell you how much I love it, you smile so wide I think your face might break." I laugh a little and she frowns again. "Tobias." She scolds. "What's up?"
"That is my book!" I say and burst out into laughter again. She frowns more and looks at me questioningly.
"No it isn't! I brought it from abnegation and it was really hard to keep it hidden." She says, clearly confused by me.
"No! I wrote the book!" she just sighs as I try to stop myself from laughing again.
"No it was written by someone called Theo JE and this is way too amazing to be written by you. No offence." She says and it makes it harder to avoid laughing but somehow I manage it.
"I am Theo JE! I didn't want to publish it as Four because it would ruin my reputation and I couldn't release it as Tobias because people would find out who I was so I had to think of a new name. I remembered that the second time I met you, you forgot my name and called me Theo and when I asked why, you said because you remembered the T and knew it was a pretty name and Theo and Tobias are the only two nice T names and you decided to go with Theo." When I finish, a look of realisation flashes across her face and she laughs.
"Oh my god! I can't believe you wrote this and I said all that directly to you." I laugh with her until she speaks up. "I cannot believe my husband didn't tell me about being the most famous fiction writer ever! Christina will freak out!"
"No don't tell her and I will sign her a book if she wants but I only want you to know because I haven't even told Zeke." She hugs me tightly and covers my face with kisses as I laugh at her enthusiasm.
"You HAVE to write a sequel Toby. Please. For me?" she continues to kiss me as I laugh and when I calm down, I scoop her up again and take her to my office. I had it hidden when I first moved here so it is hidden behind a wall in the living room. To get there, you have to slide the bookcase out of the way and go through a door that looks like it is just a painting on the wall.
When we walk in, I turn the light on and she stops dead in her tracks. At first I think there is something wrong until I see her smiling. She seems hesitant to move so I go over to her and show her around.
"It is nothing special, it is just hidden and it is yours as well as mine so you can come in whenever you want as long as no one else sees it so just make sure to put the bookcase back. Here this is what I brought you for." I lead her over to the computer where I have the sequel written. "It is the sequel and if you want to, you can read it before anyone else. I am getting the prototypes tomorrow and I will get five books so if you want, you and Christina can have them signed. I will let you have five questions and then we will go to bed." I know she will want to know a lot but I am also really tired.
"Will the others ever know?"
"Yes"
"When?"
"When I end up telling them in truth or dare if it ever comes up."
"Can I bring it up?"
"Go ahead"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot and when I did remember, I thought you would find it funny and think I wasn't being serious. Final question."
"When did you start writing it?"
"The first one, as soon as I got a computer because missing you was driving me crazy and I started writing them for you and when I got the prototype, people stole it off me and started to read it and when a lot of people wanted one I published it. I started writing the second one four months ago and I suddenly got a lot of ideas when I was thinking about you and finished it a week ago. I started the third one two weeks ago and I am nine chapters in."
"Wow I never knew you were so talented!" I pretend to flick my hair over my shoulder and she laughs before she yawns. I wrap my arm around her as I guide her out of the room. As soon as we lay down, she rests her head on my chest and we fall asleep.
Tris POV
I wake up and remember what happened last night. I still can't believe that Tobias is my favourite author. He has changed so much but he has also stayed the same. He hasn't even told Zeke so I know that he must see me as special. I turn over to see Tobias still asleep. I sit up in the bed and grab my book. It is called 'The Different One' and it is about a boy and a girl who meet and they fall in love but one day, the boy has to leave and he is heartbroken. He shuts down and doesn't stop thinking about her. One day, he can't take it anymore and he goes back to find her. When he does, he realises she is famous and believes she won't take him back but is surprised when she risks everything to get him back.
I read the book till the end and go to get ready. When I come out, Tobias is sat up on his laptop. He looks up at me and smiles before carrying on with what he is doing. I sit next to him and rest my head on his shoulder with my eyes closed. When I open them, I see him writing something and at the top, it shows that it is the third book.
"Do you want to read it?" he asks, kissing my forehead.
"No I need to read the second book first and I was thinking of how you can announce it to our friends." he nods, telling me to carry on. "I can say that I have met the author and have signed stuff and that I am close friends with him and I chose his name and then you can join in and when they ask if they can meet him, we say they have and then you pull out the second book which you will sign and they will all be shocked and we laugh and life goes on." When I finish, we both burst out laughing and continue with the plan.
When it gets to lunch, we meet the others in the cafeteria and sit at our usual table. We start talking about random things and because we don't have anything to do, I take out Tobias' book which came this morning. I didn't even think about it as I started reading. I caught Tobias watching me with a huge grin on his face. He leaned down and kissed my forehead and I looked up from my book. As I did so, I noticed everyone staring and Christina was the first to speak.
"What book you reading Tris? And why are you grinning like your face is going to break into two?" she said pointing at Tobias. Everyone nods in agreement to her question and it just makes me smile. I close my book and turn it so they can see it.
"OMG! Theo JE has published another book? And it's signed?! When did you get it signed, have you met him?" Christina squeals as Marlene and Shauna start squealing too. Tobias and I laugh and they continue to stare, awaiting an answer.
"Yes and so have you." I reply and confusion flashes across everyone's faces. I open my bag and pull out three signed copies of the book. The girls all squeal and pull me into a bone-crushing hug. "This hasn't been published yet, there are only five copies in the world at the moment but more will be published in a month from now and he is also writing a third one now." I say. I laugh as they all look confused.
"What do you mean we have met him? How do you know about the third book? How did you get these and get him to sign them?" Shauna asks and everyone at the table nods to back up the question.
"Well the author is sat beside me now." They all look at Zeke.
"What? You know for a fact that it isn't me!" Zeke says as he backs away from the stares. Everyone suddenly switches their gaze to Tobias and we burst out laughing. "Dude, is it you?" Zeke asks for everyone.
"Yes it is and my name is not Theo but that is a different identity." Everyone looks shocked and they all rush to him. He gets hit on his right arm multiple times and I can tell he is in pain but when everyone backs off, Zeke smacks his arm and he winces. It is only then that I remember him saying about the slightest thing can cause problems so I get up and grab his hand. "Where are we going?" he asks.
"Infirmary. Your arm." I state and he sighs and follows me. When we get there, we ask the receptionist to be seen and she leads us to a room where a doctor sits at a computer. He looks up and gestures for us to sit in the chairs beside him.
"What's wrong?" the doctor asks, looking up at us.
"He hurt his arm and I think it might be broken because he winces at the slightest movement." I tell the doctor and he just nods, types something into the computer and tells us to follow him.
An hour later, Tobias has had an x ray and had his arm put into a cast. It isn't badly broken but it is fractured so he had it put in a cast so he can't damage it more.
Tobias POV
It has been two hours since we got to the infirmary and now I have a stupid cast on my arm which I have to keep on for three to six weeks depending on how fast it heals.
We are now making our way to our apartment where the others are waiting because Tris texted them to tell them to meet us.
We walk in and everyone rushes to me when they see my cast.
"Back off! He is fine apart from his bad mood and he will be even worse if you pity him!" Tris yells at them. I smile at her and wrap my arm around her waist the best I can. She giggles at my attempt and I shoot her a playful glare.
"Right all of you sit down." I say and they do so. I sit on an armchair with Tris on my lap. "I am fine. It is slightly fractured and they put it in a cast so it won't get worse because they know I have to help train Tris and if I knock it too hard then it will get worse. If any of you laugh at me, I will kill all of you and if any of you even try to look at me like I am a kicked puppy then I will personally break one of your bones to see how you like it." I see Tris trying to hold in a laugh but the others just look scared.
"Okay we get it. How come you never told us about you being an author?" Zeke asks. I look at him, grateful that he changed the subject.
"Because I didn't want to ruin my reputation and didn't think it was that good but when I heard the things Tris said about it, I realised that it wasn't that bad and she convinced me to tell you." I reply.
"What did Tris say?" Uriah asks. I see Tris go red with embarrassment at the thought and we both laugh.
"I believe she said she has re-read it nine times and it was the best book she has ever read and also that it is too good to be written by me." everyone starts laughing and it continues for a minute before Christina speaks up.
"I have exactly the same thoughts!" she said and I start to smile. "So why Theo JE?"
"Shall I tell them?" I whisper quietly in Tris' ear.
"Its up to you Mr Eaton." She whispers back.
"I think it is about time. Shall I?" she nods and I turn to the others. "Well when Tris and I met for the second time, she came up to me and said 'Hey Theo' and I asked her why. She said that she remembered the T and that I had a pretty name and the only pretty T names are Tobias and Theo." I say.
"Your name is Tobias?" everyone said at the same time. Me and Tris laugh.
"Yes I am Tobias James Eaton and the JE comes from my real name. I don't like people knowing because the reports Erudite released were true and if it wasn't for Tris, I would have died multiple times. When I was 10, I was close to death and she saved me and she continued to be there for me and I can never thank her enough that is why I would die for her and also why I am becoming a leader." I say and everyone looks shocked. I looked down at Tris and saw tears streaming down her cheeks as she smiles. She knew the reason I didn't want to become a leader so she must be wondering what made me change my mind. "I want to be with Tris more and I can work at home as a leader and also I get more points to spoil her with and Eric and I will be working closely to protect everyone."
"Why does Eric like you so much?" Tris asks. I get my phone out and text Eric to come over.
"I will let him explain but when he gets here, you all have to go. I'm sorry but Zeke will tell you the basics." He nods and they all leave.
"What's going on?" Eric asks, coming through the door.
"It's time." I reply
"Time for what?" Tris asks.
"Tris, did you parents ever mention an older brother other than Caleb?" Eric asks sitting on the chair opposite us.
"What does this have to do with anything?" we both shoot her a look and she sighs. "One day I heard her talking to dad in the middle of the night. She was saying how she wishes her first born could be with her and see his little brother and sister grow up. Why? Why did you ask?" she says.
"Beatrice, I am your older brother, Eric Prior. Mum and dad had me when they were young and Erudite wanted me dead so they covered it up and I came to live with mum's family in dauntless so I was safe and no one else knew they had a child early." Tris starts to cry and I hug her tightly. "I know this is a lot right now but that is why me and Four are so close. I gave you free training rather than training with the other initiates because I didn't want you to have to fight with them so instead you will be fighting me or Four which is harder but we know you won't get hurt. I will leave you two now and if you ever need me Tris, I will always be here for you." He gets up and leaves and Tris just cries into my shirt.
