What the hell is that sound? I slowly open my eyes, even though they are screaming for me not to. My eyes finally adjust to the light and I look around. Where am I? Right, I stayed the night in the guestroom. Lukas, he is the one making that noise then. What time is it? I find my phone on the floor and check the time. 1:48. Oh great, one or two hours' sleep. Poor Four who has work in the morning. Maybe I should go and asks if he needs help?
I stand up and walk towards the crying sounds. I knock on the door and open it carefully. Four has his back towards me, but Lukas looks up at me when I come in.
"Hey," I say and Four turns around to look at me.
"Hey, I didn't mean to wake you up." He replies and I nod.
"It's no problem, can I do something to help?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"No, please, just go back to bed, I would feel bad if I keep you awake any more than what I have already done."
"You know it's totally fine by me, Four," I say, and he looks at me with a weird expression. "What?"
"You just called med Four." He replies and puts Lukas done into bed. He mentions for me to walk out of the room again, and he follows me. I stop right outside the door, while he closes the door, making sure that Lukas doesn't hear us.
He walks towards the living room and sits down on the couch. I follow him and sit next to him. I put my legs in a cross and turn my body, so I can look at him.
"You don't want me to call you Four?" I ask, and he looks up at me and down at his hands.
"You want to call me Four?" He asks back. I don't know what to reply. Of course, I want to call him by his real name. But I don't know if he wants me to do that.
"Of course, I want to call you Tobias, but no one else calls you that, so what am I supposed to do. Anyway, I want to know what you want."
"I don't want people to call me by my real name. I want you to do it. I don't tell people my real name because I just don't feel like it. And I told you. I told you, Tris, so yes, I want you to call me by it and not Four." He says, still looking at his hands.
"Okay then, I'll call you Tobias," I tell him and put my hand on top of his. He looks up at me and I give him a small smile. "Now, I think we should try to get some sleep." He nods and I stand up.
I start walking towards the guest room when he grabs my hand. "Tris." I turn around and look at him.
"Yes?" He looks down at the floor and doesn't let go of my hand.
"Nothing, just, good night." He says, let's go of my hand, and walk towards his room.
I go to bed and try to let sleep overcome me.
I wake up the next morning, by the light that comes in through the curtain. I sit up and look at my phone. It's 6 AM. I know I won't get any more sleep and decide to get up. I pick up my jeans and put them, realizing that I am still in Four's t-shirt that he let me borrow last night, I change back into mine.
I walk out of the guest room and towards the kitchen. No one seems to be awake yet, but decide that I can heat up some water. After putting the water on, I move to take out a cup from the cupboard.
"Hey." I hear behind me.
I turn around and find Four behind me, no I mean Tobias. I need to get used to calling him, Tobias. I like it though. The name fits him. "Hey," I tell him smiling.
He seems to have just come out of the shower, with his wet hair dripping down on his shirt. "Want some breakfast?" He asks coming towards me.
"No, I am fine," I reply. "Don't you have work?"
"I do, but I do have time to make breakfast for you if you want?" He says and I smile.
"No, that's not necessary. I will get something when I get home." I tell him. Hearing the water boil, I pour it into my cup and add the tea bag. Pouring some icy water into the cup I start to take a sip, loving the taste of the tea.
"Okay, if you are sure. I am just going to get Lukas ready and then I am ready to give you a drive home."
"I can grab a taxi, it's okay, you don't have to." Not wanting him to take up any more time on me. He has work and Lukas to take care, he doesn't need to take care of me too, even though that would've been nice. Keep dreaming Tris. Yeah, maybe I will.
"No, I promised you last night that I will drive you home, and I will. Just let me get Lukas ready, okay?" He said. I took another sip of my tea and gave him a nod.
"If you are sure you have time for it," I said, and he gave me a smile.
"Absolutely." He left and I moved towards the living room with my tea cup in hand and sat down on the couch. Checking my phone, I find that I have a message from an unknown number.
I reread the text, I don't know how many times. I can't believe she got my number. How? And why would she text me now? I just got back to the norm. I can't, I can't –
"You ready?" I look and find Tobias holding Lukas with a bag on his other shoulder. I nod. I take my now finished cup of tea to the kitchen and throw away the used tea bag and put the cup in the sink.
Getting on my shoes, not being able to think about anything except the text.
"Are you okay?" I hear Tobias ask in the background. I only nod, not wanting to say anything.
After putting on my jacket, I ask Tobias if I can help with anything, and he asks if I can take Lukas' bag with things he needs during the day and I nod. We walk towards the elevator together and get to his car. Putting Lukas in his car seat and getting ready to drive me home.
A place that should feel like home, but doesn't right now.
AN: Hey people! I know it's been a while, but I hope you guys can forgive me! I know this is just an excuse, but I have had problems with both of my hands, which has made it really difficult at school and daily life. I haven't been able to do any writing at all for the past five to six months and it's been driving me nuts. Anyway, I am back, but my chapters will be shorter, plus I'm with family right now, and I only get to see them twice a year, so I don't know when the next chapter will come, but I know it will come soon. I not that happy with this chapter, but I hope you guys enjoyed it :) Please review, favorite and follow :P
