| TRIS POV |
I sleep on the very edge of Tobias's bed wearing my crop top from last night that he didn't even bother to take off. I lone tear falls down my face. Everything hurts. He basically used me last night and couldn't give two shits if I was alright or not.
"Tris?" Tobias ask gruffly
I don't respond
I hear the sheets ruffle and sense him coming towards me
"Tris, baby." He says placing a hand on my shoulder
"Don't touch me." I say
"Look, I'm sorry, about smoking, about using you as a distraction, it was-it was-everything was just too much for me to handle." he stutters
"Life is too much to handle, get used to it." I snap
I sit up planning on leaving. Tobias grabs my arm; he looks at the bruise he gave me last night from pinning my hand down onto the bar.
"Di-di-did I, um, do this to you?" he says with a shaky voice.
I silently nod.
It was quiet for a moment before I felt water drop onto my wrist. He was crying.
"Tobias?" I ask
"I'm just as bad as him, he was right, I am a monster, just like him, Evelyn was right too saying that I'm growing more like him every day." he rambles on
His father abused him and his mother.
"Tobias no-." I say but was cut off
"Tris just break up with me already, leave me, hurt me, don't ever talk to me again, stay away from me, I'm a monster, I'm just like him and all I'm ever going to do is hurt you-." Tobias cries
I slap him
"Tobias, stop, this fucking act right now, you are not him, you will never be like him, you are the man I love and you are a good man,"
"Tris, I hurt you,"
"And I just hurt you, am I a monster?"
"No, never in a million years,"
"Tobias, you are a good person, last night you were just more rough than usual,"
"Tris, I'm sorry,"
I take a deep breath "It's fine but that will never happen again, I'm not your little play thing that you can just dispose of like a one night stand, I'm your girlfriend," I say
"And I agree, I love you so much." He says before giving me a light kiss
"I love you too," I say "I have to go finish packing since our flight is today.
"Thank you." I say to the flight attendant as she checks my boarding pass.
I walk down the aisle and settle into our business class seats. There were two on one side and two on the other. I got placed next to Tobias. It was a four-hour flight.
"You realise that this isn't going to work," he whispers into my ear.
"And why is that?"
"Because you know you're irresistible in that short dress,"
I was wearing a black slip dress that stopped just above my knees.
"Tobias, now's not the time, Zeke is literally across the aisle," I whisper back
"He's on the window seat, he'll be too distracted with the view," Tobias whispers so close to my ear I can hear him breathe.
"Leave it alone Tobias." I respond as I shift my body so I can try and sleep.
We arrive about dinner time.
"Kids," my mother squeals rushing to us and giving us a group hug including Tobias.
"Oh my Four, you've grown haven't you, I don't understand how you gain more muscle every year," my mum gushes as she pats his solid and bulging bicep "You should take Ezekiel and Uriah, they need a bit of a workout,"
Mum pokes Zeke and Uriah's bellies as Tobias flashes my mother a large smile.
"I am flattered, Hana," he replies
"Tris, I hope you're keeping up you're grades," my father says as he hugs me and gives me a kiss. "I've missed you around the house,"
"Even when I was misbehaving," I ask with an arched eyebrow
"Even when you were misbehaving, you're quite a joyful and spirited young lady," he says
"How are you Four?" my dad says
"Great, you Sir?" Tobias replies
"Well now that my children are here and please, if you call my wife Hana please call me Jason," my father responds
"How's med and business school," my father asks with interest.
"It's going well, I just passed my MCAT with 525," Tobias boasts with a charming smile
My father whistles "Three questions off full marks, you're going to be one hell of a doctor," my dad says with approval "Uriah and Zeke should follow you around more,"
"Hey!" Zeke exclaims
"We're standing right here," Uriah says "And why aren't you bullying Tris,"
"Because I know that Tris can pass her course with flying colours," my father says with pride.
I shine a big smile before hair flipping in front of my brothers.
My brothers look at me with distaste
"Intelligence runs in her genes, Caleb is doing genetic science," Mum says bring up my biological brother.
"Damn well it does," I say before hopping into the Bentley.
When we arrive home, I stop and look at the house that I grew up in. I feel Tobias standing next to me.
"Come on, let's go," I say as I enter
"Okay kids, you just settle your stuff into your rooms," Mum says
We walk up including Tobias.
"You have a room here?" I ask
"Yeah, your mum turned one of the hundreds of guest rooms into a room for me because I was over so much, she's a really sweet person," Tobias says.
When we reach the top of the stairs Uriah and Zeke part one way while Tobias and I part the other.
"Come on," I say as I drag Tobias into my room and he drops his duffle bag and my luggage.
I push him onto my round bed and straddle him. I lean down and begin to kiss his neck. I sit back up to find him giving me a weird look.
"What?" I ask
"Why the sudden change of heart, on the plane you said no and now you're all over me," he asks
"Haven't you even fantasized having sex on your childhood bed," I whispering his ear before biting his lobe and trailing down.
"Tris, you're whole family is in this house, we're going to get caught," Tobias says pushing me off him.
"Have you seen the size of this place, no one is going to hear us," I say
"No, I have to unpack and maybe you should have a taste of your own medicine," Tobias says with a cheeky smile as he takes his duffle bag and walks to his room.
| Next Morning |
I feel Tobias kiss my cheek.
"I'm not in the mood now Tobias," I groan rolling over
"Tobias?" I hear my mother's voice say
My eyes shoot open and I sit up.
"Hi-uh-morning mum," I say
"Who is this Tobias, that you speak of,"
"No one,"
"I sense you're lying," my mum says "And does this Tobias wake you up every morning with kisses,"
I stay silent
"And why exactly are you not in the mood for," my mum asks clearly knowing the answer
I stay silent for a bit longer.
"Can you just leave it alone mum?" I ask
I hear her sigh.
"Just be careful, okay, I want to see you in a white dress before I see babies running around," she clarifies.
I let out a small chuckle
"Does Zeke know?" she asks clearly aware of Zeke's overprotectiveness.
I look down and shake my head.
"It might be a good idea to tell him if this Tobias is going to stay around for a while.
"Yeah, I've been meaning to tell him but I'm scared of how he'll react," I say
"He may not be your biological brother but he is your brother and he will always love you no matter what," my mum reassure before she kisses me on the forehead.
On her way out she tells me breakfast is ready.
