Author note- I uploaded this chapter last night but I don't think anyone got the update so i just put it up again! Also, I start school today, not that excited.

Four POV

I walk next door to Al's apartment, since he wasn't home yesterday. I knocked on his door yesterday like 50 times he didn't answer. He opens the door.

"Hi Al" said Tobias.

"Four" he sounds mad. Wonder why. Not that I care.

" Have you seen Tris and Isaac. Zeke told me that you picked up Isaac. Also Tris is almost always with Isaac. " I tell him.

"Oh, yeah Tris and Isaac are here in my kitchen. They came over last night" Al says smirking.

'Why wouldn't Tris tell me? Does she not know I would worry. I am pulled out of my thought by Al,

"Why don't you come in Four" still smirking. I run inside, I see Tris and Isaac cooking in the kitchen. I go up to Tris and envelop her into a hug. She smells likes roses and hope. Not that hope has a smell but she makes me have hope like I will have a family, I will be successful.

I'm just so lucky to have someone like her, who loves me for me. I tell her how worried I was about her and Isaac.

"Four , can I please talk to you for a moment?"I nods. "Outside" i follows her into the hallway.

"Four I ne... need to tell you something" She stutters, she only does that when she is nervous i think. Wow I really don't know her that well. Well I will get to know her better today.

I nods letting me know to continue.

"Your not Isaac's father, I.. I'm sorry for lying to you," I don't think I heard what she said was right. How am I not his father he has my blue eyes and we have a connection too.

"... I only told you that your Isaac's dad because I knew you had.. a lot of money and I need money to make sure Isaac is taken care of.

But Al is better than you, I don't want to waste my time on you." She finishes and I can't believe a word she is saying "Your just a criminal, whose was locked away. No one will love you the same or ever" She tells me.

"No... N..no your lying Tris" I stutters. My eyes start getting watery. This is worse than Marcus' beating. I love Isaac like my son.

"No, she isn't. If you don't believe her, check out the DNA test I did." Al says while smirking. He hands Me the paper with the DNA test.

I look at the paper I see something I was wish I never saw, Al name under father. He so creepy and not father material. I loved the idea of being Isaac' s father, even though I wasn't there for his birth but I felt like I knew him for all my life. He basically has me wrapped around his finger.

"Oh" I says disappointed. "Well, should've saw this coming, I am worthless. He was right" I mumbles the last part. All those things that Marcus said about me start swirling through my head.

"Your just like me. "

"No one will ever love you."

"Worthless, piece of shit"

Everything he said about me is true. All those beatings I got, being locked in the closets for days without food were good for me because it didn't give me hope but dread so I wouldn't get hurt in the end.

Without another word I walk away. With a brokened heart. I go to the one place where I know I will get what I deserve by Marcus Eaton.

~The Eaton Mansion~

Once I get into the driveway, I don't see Marcus' car. He will probably be home in a bit so I walk into the house. It feels weird being in a home where I never felt like I belonged or safe. This places has too many bad memories of my beatings, mom dying, starving, getting kicked out of school.

This place is the home where I was a coward for years and still I'm. This is the place I ran away from to get away from the monster. I can't believe I came here again. I promised myself I wouldn't come back here but here I am, crawling back to Marcus.

Everything looks the same nothing changed, the walls are still grey, with brown rug at the entrance of the door. The house is plain. I take my shoes off and place them nicely at the side, it's a habit as a kid.

I go to the kitchen and look in the liquor cabinet and grab Marcus' favourite drink, scotch. He always comes home and drinks a whole bottle of it. One time I spilt some of his drink and he wiped me and burned my back.

So I start drinking some of his scotch that will get him pissed and also make me forget whatever happen in the last 20 minutes. I go upstairs to my old room. It plain grey, nothing interesting.

I see my guitar, my mom taught me how to play it. She enjoyed so she passed on her skills to me. It helps me get away from this world and go into my own world just like all the books I love. I will admit I'm a bit of a geek. I sometimes I just write my own songs. I start strumming a rhythm on my guitar and start singing.

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

I'm cut off when Marcus yells

" Look who came crawling back. I saw your shoes, I thought I was going crazy but boy was I wrong you really did come back faggot" he starts laughing like a manic.

"I drank some of your scotch " that gets him to shut up.

"You fucking drank my scotch. How much?" He shouts

"Half of it, feeling a bit tipsy sir" I smirk, this will sure make more pissed.

"You fucking brat! I'm going to beat your little ass, I'm going to make you so sorry for ever showing your worthless face in my house. " he roars.

He grabs the back of my neck and smashes my head on my brown wooden desk. Fuck it hurts. I feel my head vibrating. I can feel blood dripping down my head.

"Take you shirt off" I hear him unbuckle his belt and I quickly take off my shirt. I deserve ever beating I get. I'm stupid, no one will love me. I should get punished for falling in love.

I hear the belt make contact with my back, makes a big whack sound. I make a sound of pain, making Marcus more angry. He puts his foot on my head and steps on it lightly.

"Shut up! I heard you have a son" he sneers.

How does he know that. "The kid probably doesn't want you has a father. " he laughs. And takes his foot off my head.

"I will continue this later, I have a stupid business meeting in New York so I will be gone for two days. I will beat the shit out of you " he laughs while walking out.

I try getting up but I wince in pain. I keep trying until my back touches the bed. I touch my head and its bleeding. Maybe I will die before he comes. That would great!

~10 minutes later~

I haven't moved from my spot, didn't stop the bleeding either. I hear my bedroom door open. I turn around to see who it is, Tris.

The song four was singing is Locked away by Adam levine and R. City really good song you should listen to it!
