Hey guys(: here is chapter 13.

Thank you guys for reviewing and the private messages, I love hearing from you all.

I had so much more written but it sadly got deleted when my computer spazzed and randomly restarted.

Chapter 13

Tobias POV

I stare at the large bruises that cover her body. Each time I glance at them the beating and screaming corrupts my mind. Peter and Marcus reappear in my mind and the scene I was forced to watch. I look away quickly and focus on the black tiles covering the bathroom floor.

I glance back to Tris who is attempting to crawl out of the tub. I stand and offer her my hands for support as she begins to stand. She cries out as the pain overtakes her. I quickly bend and carefully pick her body up out of the water to hopefully ease the pain. The water drenches my shirt but I don't pay attention to it. I grab a towel off of the stack on the counter and lower Tris back down.

She stands and wraps the towel around herself. I walk back into our bedroom and grab a shirt of mine. I walk back into the washroom, I find Tris sitting on the counter. She stares down at her arms and legs and examines the bruises. They are purplish blue and look swelled. She moves one of her hands onto her arm, her fingertips brush over the cuts that have been stitched up. She looks up at me, then moves her hands away and grips the towel to cover her.

I walk to her and run my fingers through her soft blonde hair. "They're looking better," I mumble looking down at her arms. She nods and takes the shirt from my hand.

I walk to the kitchen and take a chocolate muffin out of the refrigerator. I pour a glass of chocolate milk and prepare a damp cold rag. She hasn't eaten for a while and even though she says she isn't hungry I can tell that she is.

I walk to our bedroom and find Tris lying on the bed with her small hands covering her face. I set down the food and crawl into bed. I wrap my arms around her body, I hug her body tightly next to mine, I don't want to let her go.

"Tris, it will be okay." I look down at her and kiss the top of her head.

"Don't ever leave me Tobias." She mumbles.

Even though our conversations have remained short recently they still hold lots of meaning. I reach across the bed and grab the food and rag. I hand her the muffin and place the rag gently on her forehead. She whimpers a quick thank you and begins to unwrap the muffin. She finishes eating then rests her head on my chest. She pushes herself closer against my body and I hug her tighter.

I wait until she closes her eyes and she is safely asleep cuddled against me. I glance towards the door to make sure it's locked, then I let myself go.

_Wait break_

My eyes fly open at the sound of screaming. Tris is shaving violently and tears fall from her eyes. Her screams become louder and I hold her closer and whisper that everything is okay into her ear.

Her eyelashes flicker then her eyes open, she shivers and stares at the wall. Tears begin to again slowly roll down her cheeks and fall onto her chest. I hold her close to me, "Is was just a dream, you're okay, you're with me, Tris you're safe." I whisper into her ear.

She nods and remains staring at the wall. "It seemed so… so r-realistic," she whimpers through tears, "and… Peter and Marcus…-"

"They won't ever touch you again, I promise." I kiss the top of her head. "You can go back to sleep, I'll fight away all the bad dreams."

She nods and moves in even closer to me.

A/N, hope you guys liked the chapter. I'm sorry, it wasn't very long either. I actually had written a lot more but it got deleted so I just wrote something a bit shorter.

If I get 15-20 reviews I'll write a 2,000-3,000 word chapter and update it quickly leave reviews!
