Accidental Betrayal

Chapter 6

Tobias pov

I was waiting for Tris by Peter's door. She insisted on going in alone. Tris was probably crying into one of his dusty old shirts. I finally lost my patience. I burst through the door and saw Tris on the ground and this guy with black hair looking at his hands. "What did you do to her?!" I yell at the guy. I help Tris up and hug her while she cries in my shoulder.

"I don't know but I would never hurt Tris on purpose." the guy said still looking at his hands.

"How did you know her name was Tris?" I ask. The person seemed strangely familiar. Someone I might have hated in the past.

"Four… Tobias whatever your called it's me its Peter I've come back for Tris." Peter said.

"You can't be Peter. Peter left with no intention of coming back and he had brown hair." I say. Tris was sobbing even harder now. I knew it was him but I kept denying it. Peter only looked at his hands like they were snakes. "What did you do to her?" I ask again.

"I got mad and choked her I think. I don't know. I blacked out while doing it like I was going in or coming out of a simulation." Peter said.

"You could have killed her. Peter what did she tell you?" I ask putting Tris on the bed and walking over to Peter with my hand already in a fist.

"She told me she was getting married. Getting married to you." Peter said. His hands curled into fists and tried to attack me. He rushed and punched at the same time. I thought all Candor were weak snitches, but Peter went through initiation with me. He punched my jaw and I punched him back moving away from still sobbing Tris. We were circling in the middle of the room. "Peter, do you really want to do this? I beat you before and I can do it again." I say remembering the day I beat him up so Tris could see what a weakling he was.

"Don't you remember that she still stayed with me after you did that?" Peter said. It's like he can read my mind. We circled some more and Peter threw the next punch. It was like he got stronger at his time in Candor. "Peter, Tobias. Stop right now I can't take it if you two keep fighting." Tris said getting up. Her eyes were puffy from crying and she was still shaking. I went over to her and hugged her. She looked at me as if she wanted to go. I nodded. We walked out of the room without a word.
