"Beatrice Prior! what on earth are you doing?"
Tris POV
I awoke to my mothers voice. I quickly realized my head was on Fours shoulders and pushed it off and sat straight up. Then I noticed that his arm was around my waist. I carefully pulled that off too, only to notice he was slumped against me. Just to prove to my mom that he was just a friend, I shoved him onto the other side of the couch.
"Ouch,"
He sat up rubbing his head as my mom said again, "What's going on here?"
I sighed, they would find out sooner or later, "He came over to do a school project. We finished early so we decided to watch a movie. He's just a friend, mom, I promise." She glanced at Four to see his expression.
"Alright, just be glad I'm not Caleb. Who, by the way, will be here in 30 minutes." She winked and walked away.
I smiled at Four and said, "You and I are so lucky that wasn't Caleb. He would've gone nuts!" I decided he probably heard my mom say my name so I should probably tell him. I walked up the stairs, gesturing for him to follow.
When we arrived I said, "Okay, I know you heard her. I know you know who I am."
"You're... You're Beatrice Prior?" he paused for a second, "Oh, I can totally see the resemblance now."
"Yeah, just don't tell anyone, including our friends, I want to make sure my friends like me for who I am. Not just because I'm famous. Don't worry, I plan on telling them eventually."
"Oh, there true friends alright. You'll never be able to get rid of 'em." I smiled to myself, I can see where he's coming from.
"Just promise you won't tell okay."
"I can do better than that' a secret for a secret."
"No, no," I said, "you don't have to."
"I want to," was all he said. He pulled of his shirt in one swift motion.
"What are you..." He cut me off when he turned around, revealing many scars all across his back.
"Who did this to you?" I asked as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
"My father, Marcus Eaton."
"You're Tobias, Why? How?" I could believe that someone could beat their child like this.
"After my mom left, he began beating me with his belt. Then he would hang me off the roof or lock me in the upstairs closet for days on end. And yes, I am Tobias. Call me that when we are alone. It's good to here someone say my name." he said sadly. "How do you do it?" He asked.
"What?" I asked genuinely confused.
"You don't look at me like a kicked puppy."
"You aren't one," was all I had to say.
"Thank you."
"For what?" Now I was really confused.
"You're the first person I've told and you don't look at me like some weirdo." I smiled at him.
I heard the door open and Caleb shout, "I'm home!"
"Shoot, sorry," I said. I whispered for him to climb out my open window and jump down. It wasn't that far so he should be find. He turned around and smiled at me one more time before disappearing. "Goodbye Tobias," I whispered.
I sighed and lay down on my bed. I closed my eyes letting sleep take me.
Sorry guys, for the shorter chapter. I had a really busy day yesterday and couldn't write as much. Thanks for everything, follows, favorites, and reviews. Here's a question for you, should the next chapter be in Four's POV? I think that may help clear up his feelings for her . I did have fun writing the FourTris moment. But just to clarify they are NOT together yet, but I plan to get them together soon. They will be admitting that they have feelings for each other soon. Always remember, I ship FourTris also so they WILL get together, I just don't to rush their relationship. Thanks to my editor, HazelandAugustusForever. R&R,
