Hey guys! I totally forgot about the disclaimer last chapter. Oops. Just pretend I had it in there. Thanks to all those who favorited, followed or reviewed. Shout out to the two reviewers that replied to my question about Four's POV. They are Someone The World Forgot and Mango Juice Rocks.
Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent, but I do own this glass of lemonade. :-)
Fours POV
I very carefully jumped out of the window and landed on the grass.
She whispered something like, "Bye Tobias." I like how my name sounds when she says it. I can't believe I just told Tris. Alright. I think I know why I told her. I think I like Tris. I just need to know that she feels the same. I'll ask someone for help. Maybe Zeke. I'll send Zeke a text soon. I think I remember something about a party on Friday. Zeke always plays Truth Or Dare at his parties. Maybe he can help me figure out if she likes me too. Besides, he owes me, I helped him with Shauna. I like her because she was right, she is different from other girls. She doesn't care as much as some girls when it comes to looks. She's not one of the girls that cakes her face with makeup. She is beautiful, selfless, brave and smart. My train of thought is broken when I see my house, 6464 Divergent Road, up ahead. Wait a second. There's a car in the driveway. Does that mean that Marcus is home? I walked through the door as quietly as possible. As soon as I stepped through the front door the smell of alcohol hit me like a brick wall.
"Tobias? Is that you?" Shoot, he heard me. I just kept walking. As my hand touched my door knob I heard the six words I have come to dread. "This is for your own good." he said, belt in hand. I knew the drill, I pulled off my shirt and let him hit me. "You," slap, "Are," slap, "Worthless," slap, "Ignorant," slap, "Not," slap, "Worthy," slap, "Of," slap, "Being," slap, "My," slap, "Son," slap, "And" slap, "The reason," slap, "she," slap, "Left," slap, "Me," slap. At that he walked out the room and left me laying on the floor. I crawled into my room and laid face first on my bed to avoid aggravating the cuts. Tris. Tris. I can talk to Tris! I am really happy that I asked Christina for her number earlier today. She did look at me a little weird though. I grabbed my phone and sent her a text.
Four- "Tris?"
Tris- "Who is this?" I think about that for a second before deciding that she will know it's me if I say Tobias.
4- "Tobias"
T- "Oh, what do you need?"
4- "It's Marcus."
T- "Oh no, do you need help?"
4- "Yeah, tonight's was pretty bad?"
T- "Can you make it over here or do you want me to come over."
4- "Could you come here?"
T- "Of course. What's your address?"
4- "6464 Divergent road."
T- "Okay."
4- "When you get here, come around to the backyard. The first window on the right. Just climb through. It's unlocked. Don't worry about bringing any stuff, I already have it."
In a matter of minutes Tris showed up in my bedroom. She climbed through the window and saw me laying on my bed, back bleeding.
"Oh, Tobias," she said in complete shock. She got to work immediately. First she cleaned my cuts, the she applied some cream to help heal them, and finally she bandaged them up.
"Thanks Tris," I said when she had finished. I looked at the clock, It was only 7:30. "Do you want to do something?" I asked hopeful.
"Sure," she said happily. Right when I was about to reply, her phone went off. She reluctantly glanced at it. "That's my brother, he wants to know where I went." She texted him back.
"What did you say?"
"At the batting cages, practicing for tomorrows tryouts."
"Oh, I guess you've gotta get going then," I said hoping she didn't notice the dissapointment in my voice.
"Sorry," she said. Darn it! She noticed.
"Good luck on your tryouts," I said.
"Thanks, bye." she was about to leave when I heard a voice from the basement.
"Tobias? I hear another voice." I panicked
"Nope it's just me up here."
"I'm going to check up on you." I practically shoved Tris out of the window. She didn't want to leave.
"Run!" I said. She seemed torn trying to decide whether or not to go.
"Be brave," she said before dissapearing out the window. Huh, we're going to have to work on the whole exiting each other's houses thing. I don't think that windows are the best exits. Marcus came up the hall and looked in my room. When he didn't see anyone he just grunted and walked away.
I sent Tris a quick text-
4- "Thanks for helping me tonight. Don't worry, he came up and didn't do anything. I'm fine."
She sent a text back a minute later-
T- "Good. It's nothing, I'll come over anytime to help. Caleb bought the batting cages story and so I'm fine. :-)"
I decided I should text Zeke asking for advice.
4- "I think I like Tris, can you help me out?"
Z- " Of course man. I owe you from when you helped me with Shauna. This is great! I can finally stop trying to set you up with girls. My little Four has a crush! I'll do truth or dare at the party on Friday."
4- "Okay, can I invite her to come. I can text her."
Z- "Tell her Zeke asked you to do it. How did you get her number?"
4- "Christina"
Z- "Ok go text her now"
I sent a text to Tris-
4- "Zeke asked me to invite you to his party on Friday."
T- "Ok, I'm sure Christina would practically drag me there on Friday anyway."
4- "Great, see you tomorrow."
T- "Bye"
I went back to Zeke
4- "She said yes!"
Z- "Okay, good luck with her. See you tomorrow."
I turned off my phone and lie down on the bed. I might as well do some homework. I finished my math, english, science and social studies in the next hour. Then I decided to go to bed early.
I closed my eyes. Only two more days until I can find out if Tris likes me came quickly and my dreams were full of Tris.
Thanks for reading guys. I finally got Toby to admit his feelings. I have some questions for you. Should Tris decide she likes Tobias before Truth or Dare or during. Also, I am going to need a lot of dares/truths for the game. Review or PM me with answers or Truths/Dares. Truth or dare will not be the next chapter but the one after. I will try to include them all. Thanks to my editor HazelandAugustusForever, you guys don't have as many errors in these chapters. R&R,
TrisTobyUri
