Chapter 20

We sit there in silence. Tobias Eaton. Four, is Tobias Eaton. I thought he looked familiar. He is Evelyn Eaton's son. The famous actress's son. That also means that she walked out on Tobias and left him with his father. His father is Marcus Eaton. The abusive husband and father that is in jail. No wonder he didn't want anyone to know his real name. I have met him before. He used to live in California. After his mother left and his father went to jail, he moved here with his older sister. I was in first grade with him and had a major crush on him too. His big sister Alexis loved me. She used to babysit Caleb and I all the time. How could I not figure this out?

"Tobias?" I say barely over a whisper.

"Yeah Tris."

"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I don't want anyone to know my real name. They'll treat me differently if they knew. I hope you don't since you knew me when I was little."

"Of course I won't treat you differently. Do you still live with Alex?"
"No, but her, her husband Josh, and Samantha all live up here. My house is under my mom's name. I live their alone though."

"Oh" is all I can say.

I pull into the driveway of his house.

"Please don't be mad at me." He says looking at me.

"I'm not. I'll see you tomorrow Four."

"Don't call me that." He says smiling and getting out of my car.

I drive home and plop down on the couch. My mom comes and sits in the chair beside the couch.

"What's that matter sweetie?" She asks moving the hair that was in my face.
"Mom do you remember the Eaton family? Tobias and Alex?"

"Of course. They were so sweet. Why?" She asks confused.

"Well Tobias goes to my school. He has been this whole year."

"And you just now figured that out?"
"He doesn't go by Tobias. He goes by Four. He said he doesn't want anyone to know who he really is because he thinks they will treat him differently. The only reason he told me was because I'm going to the movies with him and Alex's daughter tomorrow."

"Well I don't blame him. I've always liked Tobias and so did you. You had the biggest crush on him, it was so cute."

I laugh, remembering everything about Tobias from California. I can't believe that he's Tobias. It makes since now, why he saved me from Peter at the party. Wow.

Four is Tobias Eaton.
