For You Chapter 8

Tobias POV

I run up to them, and wrap my arms around all three of them. They immediately melt into the hug, their bodies shake in shock and fear. I guide them to our lounge, and we sit in a circle, like if we were going to play T or D. I sit next to Tris, and Ana. Percy I under Tris' arms. I gently take the note from her hands. I read it aloud.

Beatrice,

Thanks to you, I am on the run. The police found out, and now I am on the most wanted list. I will not hesitate to hurt you, Percy, or Ana. I will get to you. I have about 50 people enlisted to get you back. All of your friends are going to pay. Natalie would be ashamed. I will not stop until there is a knife in every. Single. One. Of. Your. Hearts. You will pay, this is for your own good. I thought I got the message through with the belt. But I guess not. If I get my way, you will be dead at the bottom of a ditch.

Hate,

Andrew

Now Tris is crying, along with Ana and Percy. My face pales when I realize there is another sheet attached to the paper. I read it out loud

I gasp, all our names are on his kill list. I wrap the Priors in my arms. "Tris, can you explain this to us?" I ask in a gentle voice. She looks up, "Since you are all victims, you have a right to know."

"When I was six years old, life was perfect. My mom was pregnant with Percy here. We were the best family I could imagine. Two years later, my mom was pregnant with Ana. But, in London, a doctor messed up, and mom died giving birth." Her eyes are glossy with tears. She takes a breath, and continues, "So Percy and Ana, never knew their mom. I took the role of mom, and helped them. This time was when I was bullied, but you don't need to know that." I feel horrible, we bullied her, reminding her of those awful times. "Andrew, or my so called father, started drinking, and screaming at me for the littlest things. Two years later, he came into my room, when these two were asleep. He started screaming at me for not being asleep. He then started whipping me with the belt. This is when I started self-harm, but I stopped a month later, for Percy and Ana. This continued for another two years. Then he started to whip Percy, and then Ana." She says. Her face is covered in tears, as well as most the girls in the room. The boys have clenched fists.

"When he started abusing them, I packed my bags, and we ran to Queens, at the age of 12, to live with my uncle. I was homeschooled until now." She finishes. I pull them into a hug again. "They will not hurt you again." I whisper into her hair.

I feel the whole gang wrap their arms around us. We pull away, and smile slightly. "Even though we haven't been the best people to you, can we at least be friends?" Chris asks. Tris smiles, "Best friends, I mean you saved our lives." She says. I smile. I put my arm around Tris, and she leans into me. Its strange, I have this weird urge to be near her.

That's when the windows shatter, and 10 men, dressed in black, holding machine guns, jump in, and surround us, and point a gun to each of our heads.

Birthday on Sunday!
