Chapter 4

Hey guys! Heres the new chapter sorry it took so long!

Tobias pov

I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to. I couldn't stand another beating, when we moved away I was getting 2 a week because I was so mad at my father for making me move that I wouldn't listen. By the second month I learned my lesson. I would still get at least one a week for whatever reason my father came up with. I was walking back from tris' when I noticed that my dads car was in the driveway which meant he was home early. That was never good.

I walked in the house trying to think of a reason my father may have to whip me but couldn't come up with one, except of course if he's drunk. I heard noice coming from the kitchen and assumed that that is where my father was so I quickely climbed the stairs. When I was just at the first landing I heard him yell to me.

"TOBIAS EATON GET DOWN HERE NOW!" I didn't have any other option but to go to him.

"Where have you been? " He said calmly although I knew that calm was never good with Marcus. He will act calm but deadly for a certain amount of time then he will start yelling, I'm ashamed to say that is one of the few things I get from him.

"I was at school then I went to Tris' place to hang out" I said shakily.

"You went where?! Why would you go see that Bitch? She cheated on you! Did you know that? It was right before we came back, her father called telling me to tell you but I didn't. I thought it would be better for you to find out." The evil monster known as my father yelled. I was so close to snapping at him for insulting Tris but I knew better.

I didn't say anything waiting for him to just cut to the point, which is always the same. He is drunk and bored and wants to beat me.

1hour later

I was in unbarable pain. He had beat me, locked me in a closet, verbally abused me and then locked me outside. Luckely I always had my phone so I called Tris.

Tris: Hey Toby! What's up?

Me: Tris...Tris I need help. Now...Marcus beat me and has locked me outside. Can you come? I don't think I can make it all the way there.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

(end of call)

Not ten minutes later did Tris show up all ready to tend to my wounds.

This is what life should be like, happy, people loving you, still with pain. But hey that's the difference between a dream and reality.

Tris pov

As soon as I got the call from tobias saying that AGAIN marcus had locked him outside I ran around the house gathering as much medical equiptment I could and raced out the door to help Tobias. Marcus had never been a very nice man to anyone except when he had a image to uphold, so everytime we were in public.

"Tris...please...help" I heard Tobias whisper horasely from the position he was in on the ground, I ran over and knelt down to help.

Forty minutes later had tobias's back cleaned bandaged and had given him pain meds. Once they had started to kick in we headed to my house so we could go in the treehouse. We didn't worry about Marcus or my parents noticing because Marcus never bothers with Tobias once he's outside and my parents don't care as long as i remain on our property.

Once we were both on the cot in the treehouse we both layed down ready to sleep but first I had to ask tobias,

"Toby why did your dad beat you this time? I mean I know you were home on time and You cleaned the house the other day, so why?"

"He was home early, knew I came here, I can't be seen here." He said shamefully which I couldn't understand why?

"Toby why is that a abad thing that he knew you were here of all places? I understand that he found out that you were going out when you were supposed to be home but wh yis here so bad? " I questioned

"Because I'm putting oyou in danger too" He said. Suddenly we heard someone climbing up thw tree to our hideout.

" Hello...son"
