This is a long chapter, one of my favourites to write! Enjoy!
Four POV
Previously:
I drop my phone on the ground, I go to pick it up when I hear someone enter the same change room as me and closes the door. I turn around. "Tris" "Four" we both say shocked.
She turns around and tries to open the door but it won't bust. I go and try to help but when I do the knob comes off.
"Shit" I say.
"Great" I her tris mutter.
" No need to get mad at me, I'm not the one that came waltzing in the change room that was already occupied." I shout at her. I hate rising my voice but she deserves it
"It's not my fault, you left the door open. Not everyone wants to see you naked!" She yells back at me. "I'm not going to argue you with you but do you have your phone with you I left mine with is.. " she mumbles the last part. Which I didn't hear.
"Yeah" I say. I grab and start dialling Zeke's number when I do my phone shuts off. "Dammit" I say through my gritted teeth. "What happen?" Tris asks really politely.
"My phone died " I tell her. She starts banging on the door. "Help,Help!" She screams. I see a tear flow down her cheek. It breaks my heart. I know I want revenge but it's not worth it, why ruin her life. It for sure won't make happy. I gently pull her away from the door. "Shhh, we will get out from here. Don't worry" I assure her. Then her eyes turn into hatred and she pushes me.
"Don't touch me four. " she spits out like venom.
"Sorry" I mumble. She really must hate me, even though she has no reason to. "Why?" I ask her looking her dead in the eyes.
"Why what?" She ask, staring at me with hatred.
"Why do you hate me! I never did anything to you! If any one should be mad, it should be me! You put me in jail for a crime I didn't even commit!" I yell at her.
"You're a criminal! You stole money from the government! And you're just a player who doesn't care about anyone but themselves!" She yells back.
"You know nothing about me. You don't what I have been through. I don't need to steal money from the government, I have my own money that I worked hard for. " I tell without yelling this time. "What proof do you have saying that I stole the money?" I ask.
"Let me tell you, first you have the mayors cards, his security number,bank number and you had his government badge number so you can use to enter the vault. Marcus, all he has ever done for you is praise how great your business and how he helped you get started but you go and repay him by stealing from him and the government. Then in your car I find your transaction receipt, you withdrawal $500,00.00, who does that?" She tells me. "Also I found a written steps of how to get in the government secret vault. Then I found my dad's file in your closet, then you had sculpted the president's thumb. You're crazy." She says.
I stare at her confused, "I never wrote steps of how to break in the vault. I never did want to steal from the government. The cards are my father" I says his name like venom. "I have his cards, so I could trace what he does..." Then it clicked. "Marcus, he is the one who keeps stealing the money. He framed, my house was broken into a few days before I met you and I didn't come back from my trip until the day before I saw you at my office. He must have planted all that evidence in my house, so he could throw me to jail. Me going to jail was his revenge, for me leaving. " I say, mostly to myself.
"You"re not Marcus' son and he is nice man, unlike you. " she tells me.
I grab my wallet and pull out my license and show her the card.
"Okay so you're his son that doesn't prove he wanted revenge on you. " she says and this time in her eyes I don't see hatred but I see her look defeated.
" I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I guess I trust you. " I tell her. I do trust and apparently with all my life.
"My name is Tobias Eaton, son of Evelyn and Marcus Eaton. Marcus would beat my mom up all the time, for the littlest things. When Marcus would be gone for business trips, she would take me to the park and we would run around, play tag, eat so much ice cream . "I smile remembering my mom, I miss her. "One day Marcus found out what we would do behind his back when he would be gone, it got him so bad that he threw my mother down the stairs, I remember seeing her head bleeding, I just stood there not knowing what to do, I was crying, crying for my mommy to be okay. Marcus got so mad that I wouldn't shut up, he slapped, that was the first time he hit me when I was 6 years old. He saw how much my mom was bleeding and I think he felt bad for a moment, he quickly rushed her to the hospital. They said she was fine that they stitched her up but that was a lie, a year later she died because of brain cancer, it started the day my father pushed her down the stairs. She tried fighting to live for me but one day the cancer won and took her life." I look and see tris has tears rolling down her cheeks. I wipe them away.
" since then Marcus would beat me up with a belt, lock me in closet for days without food. I would have to cook him food, I had to be careful of everything I did, so I wouldn't get a beating. When I was seventeen, I decided I had a enough,so I packed all my stuff I needed and told Marcus I was leaving, he told I wouldn't get anywhere in life and that I'm worthless. Also that he would come after and get revenge for leaving me. I was on the streets, he basically left me to die even though it was my decision. I thought maybe he might come and look for me but he didn't. But Hanna found me she is Zeke and Uriah' s mom, she adopted me. She basically become a mom for me. " I tell her and I take my shirt off to show her the scars on my back.
"Do you believe me?" I ask her shyly.
"I do. Omg I'm so sorry, I put you in jail for no reason, I'm stupid, I shouldn't even be al.." I covered her mouth before she say anything else.
"You should be alive, don't you ever say that again. Understood" I tell her sternly. I wipe her tears with my thumb.
"Why aren't you looking at me like a kicked puppy?" I ask really curiosity, I remember when Hana found out she give me a pity look. I hate pity
"Because you're not" she places her hands on both sides of my cheeks. "You're the bravest man I have ever met. What happen to you should never happen to anyone else or to
you , but you went through so much pain and you didn't let that bring you down. You become a better person than Marcus. " she says through her watery eyes. Our lips are inches apart.
Tris POV
I just want to kill Marcus right now, how could he. It was all a show to the world, that he was good but he is a horrible man who abused his son and killed his wife. All I could do was cry, all I did was help Marcus basically get what he wanted. I'm selfish, I couldn't even tell my son anything about his father, I know he always wanted a father but I jumped to conclusion about four being a criminal. I'm a horrible person. Four wipes my tears away. I don't deserve to have my tears wiped.
When he said I should be alive, I felt butterflies in my stomach, I haven't had that feeling since I was sixteen. He asks me why I didn't give a pity look, I tell him why.
"Because your not" I places my hands on both sides of my cheeks. "You're the bravest man I have ever met. What happen to you should never happen to anyone else or to
you , but you went through so much pain and didn't let that bring you down. You become a better person than Marcus. " I says through my watery eyes. Our lips are inches apart. He didn't deserve anything that happen to him.
I feel his lips on my lips. I am surprised at first but then I kiss him back. The kiss is sweet, gentle. It's so magical. I want to savour his taste. I feel him bring me closer to him so I am basically straddling him. I pull back.
"I don't want to go too fast for" I tell him.
He chucked and says "it's okay, I already got my spot on the floor. " "and don't call me four"
"Then what should I call you?" I ask curiously.
"Tobias" he says
"Tobias, a sexy name for a sexy men" I say and laugh.
"It feels nice to hear my name again. " he says.
"Tris, I want to say I am sorry for whatever I did to you when you first met me. I don't want to me that guy ever again. " Tobias says.
"Then don't. Let's just forget what happen between us in the past and start fresh. But before we start I want to tell you about me. " I look him in the eye and start before he can give a response.
"When my parents died when I was l6, you already know about my sister having cancer. My aunt Jeanie took us in but she always hated me since I reminded her too much of my mom. She always had grudge against her. She made sure my life was hell, she would make sure I clean the house, she would throw Nasty comments like me being too stiff, ugly or fat. Not that I was fat. I remembers when I lost my virginity which was to a guy named Eric, he told the whole school that I wanted to have sex with him and that he felt pity for me even though I was drunk and it was a dare. My friends were there. " I pause so I can cry. I hate that I am showing my weakness.
" you don't have to continue Tris" he says but I shake my head, I am not telling him so we get to know each other but for me so I can maybe move on if I talk with someone.
"They agreed with Eric, started rumours saying things like I slept with college guys and me being a slut. None of it was true. They would push me,punch me, write slut on over my locker. One time they shaved my hair off. My hair had finally grew back because I had cut it for Christiana since she lost some of her and I wanted her to know she isn't the only with short hair. I missed my long hair and when it finally grew they shaved it all off Eric, Rachel, and Megan . They recorded the whole thing of me crying and they put it on every social media. In the video was me asking them to stop while they would slap
me , kick me and they ripped my clothes off, everyone saw my body. The worst thing was my brother saw it but he never did anything but agreed with everyone. I even tried taking my life the next day by jumping off a building but I didn't because I remembered Christiana had no one else for her. So I stay for her. But I ran away with Christina from Atlanta to Chicago. I become a detective. " finish and start sobbing uncontrollably into Tobias shirt. He is probably going look at me differently. I cry even harder.
"I am going to look at differently tris because you look ten times braver now to me. Don't let those people change who you really are. You're amazing, their just jealous because their beauty is nothing compared to yours" he says while he grabs my chin so I look at him.
"Hi my names is four but you can call me Tobias. Also,single" he says while winking. I look at him confused, I already know his name but then I remember were starting over.
"Well nice to meet you Tobias, my names is Tris. Tris Prior" I shake his hand. A handshake to our new beginning.
A few hours later
Me and Tobias have been talking and making jokes to pass time. Occasionally kissing too. We haven't had any food and were both hungry, I had water that belonged to Tobias, he let me drink it all. He's so sweet. Each minute I spend with him, makes me keep falling deeply in love with him. I am now sitting beside Tobias with my shoulder on his head.
Isaac! Omg I forgot about Isaac. I am horrible mother, my baby. I hope he is okay. "What happen tris?" He asks with worry in his voice. "Breath tris" he says.
I didn't realize, I am having a panic attack. "Today I went to the park" Tobias says. I try to listen. I realize my breathing has come back to normal "...We played together his name was Isaac" Isaac my son
"he had the same dirty blonde hair has you and blue eyes" he says. He knows Isaac. I should tell him that's his son. "That's my son" I say.
"Really, he is awesome kid. Congrats. Did you and Al break up or something?"Tobias asks curiously.
I laugh " I never dated Al, he has wanted to go out with me but I wasn't ready, I wouldn't date him" I tell him.
"But in the park, Al told me that Isaac was his son and you're his wife." Tobias asks, confusion written all over his face.
"Isaac is your son Tobias" I tell him.
I see a smile creep on his face "Really?" He asks, all I do is nod.
He gets and grabs me. Spins me in circle. Once we stop, he keeps smiling. "I'm a father. I want to see him again"Tobias says, I can see he won't stop smiling.
"I want to be a family with you and Isaac " he tells me. I nod because I want my son to have a family.
Our beautiful moment is ruined when the door is smashed open. We both let go of each other. I see someone smash into me.
"Mommy!mommy! You okay?" My shouts. I pick him up against my hip and shower him kisses. "I missed you buddy! I love you, I'm great. " I tell him. Then I remember Tobias is here. I bring my son to Tobias.
"Four is here too! Mommy four is my friend" he says happily.
"No sweetie, four is your daddy. Just like all the stories I read to you. You have a daddy just like them. " I tell him. I'm hope he is happy.
" I have daddy!" Isaac says. He stretches his arm out for Tobias to pick him up which he does.
"I have a mommy and a daddy. Now we family" Isaac says. We both smile at each other. Family is what we are now.
I hear Tobias whisper to both of us but mainly to me " I will be your family now".
