Hey guys I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update. I have been so stressed and have been trying to think of where this story would go. I got an idea and had nothing to do today so I wrote it for ya'll. Yes it's short, but I hope you like it and don't hate me. Here is:
Chapter 41
The music cuts off and I am staring at my mother. It takes me a while to remember where I am.
"Everyone out!" I scream as loud as I could.
No one moves.
"He means it. Everyone get the hell out of here!" Zeke yells from behind me.
Within about 30 seconds, my house is empty leaving me to face my mother and my friends to just sit there and watch.
"Oh Tobias, you didn't have to get rid of your little party just for me." Evelyn says with a grin.
"Don't call me that. I go by Four now. What are you doing here anyways?"
"Can't a mom stop by and see her dear son?"
"Yeah, but you are not a mother to me. You stopped being one year's ago."
"Now Tobias, that is no way to speak to your mother in front of your friends? I don't believe I've met any of them." She says shifting to where she can see all of them. Aren't you going to introduce me?"
"No. All you need to know about them is that they are people who actually care about me. And you never answered me, Why are you here?"
"I'm here to talk to you about your father." She says walking over and sitting on the couch. Her face is serious now.
I tense every muscle in my body before saying, "What about him?"
"I just wanted to remind you of the date that he gets out."
"I haven't forgotten. He gets out May 19th 2014."
"No he doesn't. He gets out this year. They changed it."
All of a sudden I can't stand up straight. My knees get weak. Tris can see that and is by my side holding on to my arm to help comfort me.
"When does he get out Evelyn?'
"December."
"December what?"
"De…December 28th."
That's exactly a month from now. My dad gets out of jail in only a month. My eyes go wide and I can't move. I just freeze.
"Four."
I can hear Zeke, but I can't answer him. My mouth isn't working.
"Four."
Uriah this time.
"Tobias!"
Tris. I need to answer them. I need to say something. I get my mouth to open, but nothing comes out. I try again and nothing. I then realize that I'm not breathing either. It seems like I'm standing there forever. Tris stands in front of me. I can tell she is screaming, but now I can't even here her. Then, everything fades to black.
